Pink Floyd Pays Tribute to Syd Barrett on Disc

Monday, 02 July 2007

The four surviving members of Pink Floyd will appear on a new DVD titled The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story. The new, two disc set retells the Pink Floyd story with a focus on original frontman Syd Barrett, who suffered a drug induced breakdown before the group reached it peak in popularity. After years of seclusion the singer/guitarist passed away in 2006.

Barrett�s fall from grace haunted the band for many years, as documented on key Pink Floyd tracks like "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Wish You Were Here." The film incorporates rare early footage of the band performing; including a live show at the UFO Club, and an appearance with former landlord/light artist Mike Leonard on Tomorrows World. There are also insights from former girlfriends, flat mates, producers, managers, friends and famous fans. All four surviving members of Pink Floyd recently performed at a Barrett tribute, though bassist/songwriter Roger Waters did not perform with keyboardist Rick Wright, drummer Nick Mason and guitarist David Gilmour.

After Barrett suffered a breakdown in 1968, Waters, Wright, Mason and Gilmour served as Pink Floyd�s core until the early-1980s. Since then, Waters has forged a solo career, while his bandmates have periodically toured and record under the Pink Floyd name. The four musicians most recently shared the stage London edition of 2005�s Live 8.

Gilmour still seems to be the one with the major problem with regard to PF reforming again. He says they'll never do it again while Waters has apparently been bending over backwards to try to get it to happen. Pity.
