MarcO Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Wow. I was just looking at some excellent photos available at http://www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/ (check out the photos from "The Wall" shows!) and found this photo of Syd, taken the day he dropped by unnannounced at Abbey Road Studios in 1975 as PF were recording their tribute to him, the "Wish You Were Here" album. No-one recognized him. Syd Barrett, 1975 That Live 8 performance has really rekindled my interest in Pink Floyd after many years of ignoring them.

\/\/illy Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (I-V)"Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.Shine on you crazy diamond.Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.Shine on you crazy diamond.You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze.Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.Shine on you crazy diamond.Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.Shine on you crazy diamond.Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,rode on the steel breeze.Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

\/\/illy Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 I miss 'Syd'. I think about him sometimes and hope he's doing okay. Take care Roger; I understand what you mean when you say "Syd doesn't live here anymore."Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFoolery Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 That song really makes me sad for poor ol' Syd.And, the story about him showing up at the recording studio is heart-breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dJEd Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 poor Sydi know what you mean about a rekindled interest(although Live 8 was wretched) i've been hurting for some Animals lately. maybe i'll bust it out. rekindled or not it will be a while before i can stand to hear Comfortable Numb, which is a shame because i used to love it. thanks fucking classic rock radio music killers.
