Any video by Polyphonic would be great for you to react to. He makes high quality video essays about music. They will provide great context for the albums you are listening to.
You should watch a history of Pink Floyd video that's more in depth. Then you gotta check out the Pulse Concert do a track a week , Trust you won't regret it. Much love bro!
Gilmour (Syd's 'replacement') produced Syd's two solo albums after he left the band, and made sure the royalties from his music with Pink Floyd made it to him. He's a good guy.
It's not mentioned in the video, but Syd did write and sing the last track on Pink Floyd's second album, Saucerful of Secrets. My favorite of theirs, hope you get around to that one!
Those lyrics after you know the story of hit harder: It’s awfully considerate of you to think of me here And I’m most obliged to you for making it clear That I’m not here And I never knew the moon could be so big And I never knew the moon could be so blue And I’m grateful that you threw away my old shoes And brought me here instead dressed in red And I’m wondering who could be writing this song
Wow. That movie Tonite Let's All Make Love In London is seriously ill-starred. The Rolling Stone, Brian Jones, who founded the band but was finally fired from the band in 1969 and died one month later under extremely mysterious circumstances, did the soundtrack to that film. And Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd appeared in it as well. I've definitely heard the Brylcream story before. People thought that Syd's face was melting.
They played a tape of Syd talking for a psychiatrist so famous even I've heard of him, R.D. Laing. He specialized in schizophrenia. He listened to Syd speaking and told the group Syd was incurable.
I answered your questions about Syd solo and great Syd documentaries back at the Batcave. That’s an upside to having a member who never shuts up. Plus I try to never spill the Whoops ! 😜
Oh man there are some full length documentaries you should watch! “Classic Albums: The Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Making of Wish You Were Here” Happy to send them to you if you need em
Syd's solo albums are haunting and beautiful. Highly recommended if you liked Piper (although they are completely different - raw, honest and painful, very far from the psychedelic freak out that is Piper)
Great! Even though Syd Barett's story is tragic, he inspired other Pink Floyd members throughout the 70s. I'm hoping to see your reaction to their "Wish you were here" album, cause the main theme "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is about Syd. And that album is just as cool (if not cooler) as Dark Side of the Moon.
Loving your new channel. Keep up the good work. The tribute track you referred to is "Shine on You crazy Diamond" (spelling out SYD). Its on the "Wish You Were Here Album"
You are one of my favorite youtubers right now. Half of the shit you say is very relatable and hilarious, and it's great to see somebody with your perspective Enjoy the things I grew up with. I'm only 23, but still
On compilation albums or live albums, the band always included Barrett tunes so he he could have income. The group always loved him and wanted him to be happy, safe, and taken care of.
A reportedly definite 90 minute documentary on Syd Barrent dropped this year. You can rent it in HD for $4.99 on UA-cam, and it appears to be available on other rental channels also. It's called "Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd". *The synopsis for the documentary is as follows:* Syd and Pink Floyd crystallized a cultural moment where anything seemed possible but where that freedom could come with a cost. Was Syd just another drug casualty? Did he suffer from an undiagnosed mental condition? Or did he dislike the attention and fame as the fun turned to work? While there are no clear answers, there is the feeling by all those around Syd that something went terribly wrong. Have You Got it Yet? is a chronicle and a mosaic of Barrett's creative and destructive impulses, his captivating presence and absence -- a portrait of the complex puzzle that was his life. *A couple of reviewer comments below:* "Anyone thinking of watching the film will be hugely relieved to know that alongside interviews with just about everyone you’d hope to see, from bandmates to family and friends, it has all the original music throughout. There are also some surprises, such as actual photos (which I don’t believe have ever been seen before) of the legendary occasion when an almost unrecognisable Barrett turned up at the recording of the Wish You Were Here album." "The film is a fine tribute to Barrett’s genius, and I think hits the right balance between respecting his life choices and feeling sad for Syd and those who clearly loved him. Was the music industry to blame for what happened to him? There will always be differing views, but at least this film voices them all."
Syd Barrett has always been a good business for Pink Floyd. When Sid came visiting Pink Floyd recording "Shine on" with a stranger style, it was a joke on his part. It's his sister who said it.
You may know this story, but David Gilmour was once a busker along with Syd Barrett. David Gilmour grew closer to future Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett while both attended the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology. In 1965, Gilmour, Barrett, and a few friends busked around Spain and France. In 1967, Gilmour was invited to watch the early incarnation of Pink Floyd record “See Emily Play.” Gilmour realized that Barrett was having trouble recognizing him and learned that he was experiencing some serious mental health issues. Gilmour was then asked to join Pink Floyd and cover for Barrett’s "eccentricities,” which allowed him to become an integral part of the group. 😊
David actually taught Syd to play guitar. So it came full circle. And if you listen to the classic stuff Pink Floyd made later, it’s almost all entirely about Syd either directly or indirectly. They honored his legacy with everything they did, to this day. Syd’s story is sad for sure, but his spirit lived on in their music. His light only shined brightly for a brief period, but he wasn’t just a dude who started the band and left early. Syd is literally the heart of Pink Floyd. I can’t think of another band that honored someone like they did, consistently throughout all of their work.
Pink Floyd had some singles while Syd was still in the band. Maybe their more accessible songs of the early period. Arnold Layne and See Emily Play. There's also a song not released by them when they were the Tea Set, called Walk with Me Sydney.
1000%! The zigzagging through time loses the continuity. That being said (and to be fair) I don't think I've ever discovered any band in this way. Vicariously and retroactively, tho, it would be a great pleasure to experience a band in this way through Darius!
You’re right about the other band members being good dudes. Until his death, Syd received Pink Floyd royalties for albums he had nothing to do with, mostly thanks to David Gilmour
I find these reaction videos like your own extremely interesting, seeing a new generation discover this all-too-familiar music. You will find The Madcap Laughs a fascinating listen. I think it is slightly disturbing, but there is no doubt that it is unique, and in these days of samey samey, unique is worth it for itself. Interesting, some consider it as 'the first punk album'. Keep up the good work!
I'm actually old enough to remember this, lol! I read somewhere that Pink Floyd continued to pay Barrett his full share of the bands proceeds right up until his death in 2006.
Another bizzare story: He once showed up to the studio with a new song idea called: Have you got it yet? And every take he would play something else and change the arrangement completely. After a while Roger finally understood and said "I got it." put down his guitar and left. Syd was a troll 😂
The song about Syd, "Shine on You crazy Diamond" is the only song that no matter how many time I listen to it I cry, and it is not because it a "sad" song but because of all the emotion that the aounds, instruments, singing and even the silence in the song convey....It is on the follow up album of "The Dark side of the Moon" which was "Wish you were Here" album....Once you get familiar with a studio version(NEVER radio version just FYI) Pink Floyd song you owe it to yourself(imo) to check out that song done live at the 1994 PULSE concert....Wherever life finds you I hope it finds you and those that you love safe and well....AHIMSA!!!!
Hey bro, I really like your reaction here are some albums or bands I think you need for a beter life to react, here they hare : - The Rolling Stones, one of the most iconic and influencial band in history, they have a really intresting story with members like brian jones, they come from blues with album with covers song and in rivality to the beatles they became to write songs. They after made four iconic and incredible albums : Beggars Banquet in 1968, Let It Bleed in 1969, Sticky Fingers in 1971 and the double album exile on main street in 1972, they also made a live album in that period which really wrost the cost (one of the best live album of all time) : Get Yer Ya-ya’s Out in 1970. I Think you should react to their UK discography from their debut to their prime at least without forgot the single which are really importants (Satisfaction, Paint It Black...). Secondly I Think That The Jimi Hendrix Experience is one of the best band of all time and that their three studio albums are all masterpieces it shows the genius of jimi hendrix in guitar and songwriting. Finaly I Think you should react to some beatles solo albums (the best) like the firts of john lennon, the mccartney's albums of the 70s in solo and with is band the Wings and the three first of George Harrison espacialy All Things Must Pass, it is a masterpiece which show all George's talents in songwriting and his emancipation of the beatles, it is a triple album and an absolute masterpiece. His second album, The Concert For Bangladesh is also iconic and réalisateur good, it is the live album from the first charity concert of all time and from Harrison. Thank you very much for your réactions !
Yeah sad story. I’ve got his solo albums. Oh boy it’s a sad decline. And the way it affected them really brought mental illness into the forefront of rock n roll. I’m pretty sure this is the first band to really deal with madness in its various forms. Wait till you get to the part in their career where Roger Waters tries to break the band up and David tells him to GFY. Then they have the biggest tours in their career.
You need to watch the documentary film ' Have You Got It Yet ' about SYD ,its fully endorsed by and includes material from his family it is therefore more truthful and makes it a more interesting film.
Syd's shadow remained present throughout Pink Floyd's career. Much of the albums Wish You Were Here and The Wall is about him. You should check out his two solo albums and do reactions on them.
It’s not music, but if you want to react to a damn good documentary, I suggest A Courtship of Rivals. It’s about the Magic Johnson and Larry bird rivalry and how they became friends. They way they grew up and the bond they formed. One of the best docs I’ve ever seen.
I did it exactly 4 times in my life during a time-span of about a year and a half. I never really enjoyed it fully*, but tried it subsequent times believing friends telling me "you just haven't had the right stuff" along with "yeah, that time was a bad environment, you need a better scene". Well, each was progressively more traumatic, and since it takes about 16 hours to fully come out of the effects, it just wasn't worth another unenjoyable nearly-day-long experience. 4 times was enough! * The first time started out nice, on August 21, 1987, David Bowie's Glass Spider tour, at Rosemont Horizon. Everything during the concert went great, but then afterwards we went to my sister's house, which has a huge slobbery great dane/golden retriever mix named Cedric. I tried to sleep (or at least try to rest) on the couch and Cedric wanted to play catch...all night. All I can remember was the slobber 🤮 seemingly coating everything! Whenever I turned over to quit, Cedric would be shoving that hair and slobber soaked ball in my face from every angle (and he could reach me as he was very tall!) There was no respite until the morning when my brother-and-law took him for a walk. I have a feeling that Cedric was being unusually insistant, and this was, for whatever reason, how he reacted to me on acid. He hadn't acted that way before and never again afterward. The bad trip went on until well after it was time for my brother-in-law to walk Cedric, hours later. And, believe it or not, each subsequent time I dropped was worse :)
The channel *"Amplified Classic Rock"* is a documentary channel. I've watched a few decent ones but not Pink Floyd yet. Maybe someone can watch it & let Darius know if it's worth watching 🙏🏻 if I don't get to it first 🤍
If you want to get an understanding of Syd's state of mind with Pink Floyd, listen to Jugband Blues. It begins with this: "It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here. And I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here." There's a video associated with this song. You saw snippets of it during the documentary. And Syd is not all there.
I’m not a Pink Floyd fan, but hey if you’re determined to make a video every day this month then I’m determined to watch em all! I’m keeping up so far. My reaction request is the Queen song “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
The story I’d heard was that the other bandmates were constantly dosing Syd’s food and drinks with LSD. That constant state of mental instability wouldn’t be good for anyone.
No. The story goes that some of Syd's "friends" (likely his roommates) were the "expand your mind continually" types and would dose Syd's morning coffee with LSD despite Syd trying to avoid it and focus on the band. Needless to say it made Syd dependent and then pushed him over the edge. The band and management were trying to keep him clean.
You should really do "Echoes" by Pink Floyd next. Studio ver. or live at Pompei. Both versions have their advantages. A bit of a long song, but an absolute masterpiece.
I'm a massive Pink Floyd fan but could never get into Syd Barrett's whimsical style of songwriting, and rarely listen to PF's earlier albums (pre Meddle). However, without Syd there wouldn't have been Pink Floyd. His influence and DNA runs through the best of what they put out as a band, and he was genuinely a visionary genius when you look at how unique and original his songwriting was in comparison to other artists of the time. Without meaning to pre-empt your feelings on future PF reactions, you may find a lot of their earlier albums a difficult listen. Especially after Barrett left the band, as their music was rather directionless until the Meddle album. But I respect that you've delved into the Barrett era.
I wouldn't say the '68-70 era is directionless. It's for sure an acquired taste for some people, but there are gems from that time period and you can definitely hear each step taken towards Dark Side with each album. The first time I heard A Saucerful.Of Secrets, I thought I'd never listen to it again. Now, though, I find myself reaching for that album first, at times. Not my favorite by any stretch, but 1000% better than I first thought.
Hey D, you rule! This video doesn't do Syd justice, by focusing on and enlarging his negative transformation. It's barely mentioned in passing here, but before his breakdown in mid '67, Syd was an absolutely charismatic, likeable, creative, generous, playful, humorous, genuine and original guy. David Gilmour said, "All the girls wanted him and all the guys wanted to be him". He was really a painter at heart, and his music works as painting pictures. All the big names in UK rock at the time felt his influence and innovation, including a certain Paul McCartney!
Unfortunately this documentary is inaccurate and paints a poor picture of syd. He was at peace after leaving the industry. It was never for him, a true artist to be put into a box to pump out singles and be a celebrity. We see him as a poor soul but he was happy to be free and who he was. It's just shocking to see the abrupt change from a genius songwriter to just an average dude. We long for stardom, but is it really healthy for us?
He wasn’t happy, he was depressed. That being said, this video is inaccurate for painting him as lacking self-awareness. His interviews and his song lyrics definitely show he was more than aware of what was going on.
@@psychedelicpiper999 I guess we really don't know. I'm sure he was depressed but I'd like to think he was happy as well, painting and just doing his thing and not being bothered.

You need to react to the Pink Floyd singles from 1967 on which Sid Barrett sang "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play".
There's even a subtle reprise of "See Emily Play" at the end of Wish You Were Here 🥲
Roger on bass. Richard on keys.
Wow. That movie Tonite Let's All Make Love In London is seriously ill-starred. The Rolling Stone, Brian Jones, who founded the band but was finally fired from the band in 1969 and died one month later under extremely mysterious circumstances, did the soundtrack to that film. And Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd appeared in it as well.

David and Syd were actually friends since their teen years. David also helped Syd produce his solo albums.
He did that out of pure friendship, he knew he was a lost cause at that point, and it's sad, he will always have my respect for that.
Those 2 solo albums are pure genius❤

0:22 "Pretty much anything that doesn't have copyrighted music in it." That made me smile
If you wanna get outside of just music, but going down the psychedelic lane, look into Richard Alpert/Ram Dass and Timothy Leary

It’d be interesting for you to react to some of the Beatles solo albums. I recommend “plastic Ono band” and “imagine”. Both by Lennon

I recommend you check out their album "Relics". It's full of singles and you can just skip the reused songs
Bro you thinking of doing a jimi Hendrix reaction?
You’re right about the other band members being good dudes. Until his death, Syd received Pink Floyd royalties for albums he had nothing to do with, mostly thanks to David Gilmour
Unfortunately Syd had a habit of not cashing his cheques. Someone really should have overseen that better.
Roger on the bass. Back then there were no real drug rehab or mental health clinics. Syd was an exceptional artist.

Beach boys inspired indie psychedelic pop
Syd Barrett-inspired, too.

I did it exactly 4 times in my life during a time-span of about a year and a half. I never really enjoyed it fully*, but tried it subsequent times believing friends telling me "you just haven't had the right stuff" along with "yeah, that time was a bad environment, you need a better scene". Well, each was progressively more traumatic, and since it takes about 16 hours to fully come out of the effects, it just wasn't worth another unenjoyable nearly-day-long experience. 4 times was enough!
* The first time started out nice, on August 21, 1987, David Bowie's Glass Spider tour, at Rosemont Horizon. Everything during the concert went great, but then afterwards we went to my sister's house, which has a huge slobbery great dane/golden retriever mix named Cedric. I tried to sleep (or at least try to rest) on the couch and Cedric wanted to play catch...all night. All I can remember was the slobber 🤮 seemingly coating everything! Whenever I turned over to quit, Cedric would be shoving that hair and slobber soaked ball in my face from every angle (and he could reach me as he was very tall!) There was no respite until the morning when my brother-and-law took him for a walk. I have a feeling that Cedric was being unusually insistant, and this was, for whatever reason, how he reacted to me on acid. He hadn't acted that way before and never again afterward. The bad trip went on until well after it was time for my brother-in-law to walk Cedric, hours later. And, believe it or not, each subsequent time I dropped was worse :)
The channel *"Amplified Classic Rock"* is a documentary channel.
I've watched a few decent ones but not Pink Floyd yet.
Maybe someone can watch it & let Darius know if it's worth watching 🙏🏻
if I don't get to it first 🤍
If you want to get an understanding of Syd's state of mind with Pink Floyd, listen to Jugband Blues. It begins with this:
"It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here. And I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here."
There's a video associated with this song. You saw snippets of it during the documentary. And Syd is not all there.
Look at his eyes 10:20 like black holes in the sky
I’m not a Pink Floyd fan, but hey if you’re determined to make a video every day this month then I’m determined to watch em all! I’m keeping up so far. My reaction request is the Queen song “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
I'd be mad about having to promote on the Pat Boone show too tbf
I would like to see you react to the video : the beach boys are better than the beatles ( the story of SMILE) by the channel NAETE
The story I’d heard was that the other bandmates were constantly dosing Syd’s food and drinks with LSD. That constant state of mental instability wouldn’t be good for anyone.
I doubt that's true because they were concerned about his growing LSD use.
No.
No. The story goes that some of Syd's "friends" (likely his roommates) were the "expand your mind continually" types and would dose Syd's morning coffee with LSD despite Syd trying to avoid it and focus on the band. Needless to say it made Syd dependent and then pushed him over the edge. The band and management were trying to keep him clean.
@@ianfortier5534 that's terrible
Yeah, it's pretty disgusting, imo.
You should really do "Echoes" by Pink Floyd next. Studio ver. or live at Pompei. Both versions have their advantages. A bit of a long song, but an absolute masterpiece.
Live at Pompeii, 1971, is my favorite.
Always studio first, then live.
Hey Darius -- really curious what you'd think of the Syd solo albums. They're raw and a mess, but I like them better than Pink Floyd's output.
I'm a massive Pink Floyd fan but could never get into Syd Barrett's whimsical style of songwriting, and rarely listen to PF's earlier albums (pre Meddle). However, without Syd there wouldn't have been Pink Floyd. His influence and DNA runs through the best of what they put out as a band, and he was genuinely a visionary genius when you look at how unique and original his songwriting was in comparison to other artists of the time.
Without meaning to pre-empt your feelings on future PF reactions, you may find a lot of their earlier albums a difficult listen. Especially after Barrett left the band, as their music was rather directionless until the Meddle album. But I respect that you've delved into the Barrett era.
I wouldn't say the '68-70 era is directionless. It's for sure an acquired taste for some people, but there are gems from that time period and you can definitely hear each step taken towards Dark Side with each album. The first time I heard A Saucerful.Of Secrets, I thought I'd never listen to it again. Now, though, I find myself reaching for that album first, at times. Not my favorite by any stretch, but 1000% better than I first thought.
dude get Ad block, it's free and you get no adverts.
you should react to the joshua tree by u2
React to nick Drake
Hey D, you rule! This video doesn't do Syd justice, by focusing on and enlarging his negative transformation. It's barely mentioned in passing here, but before his breakdown in mid '67, Syd was an absolutely charismatic, likeable, creative, generous, playful, humorous, genuine and original guy. David Gilmour said, "All the girls wanted him and all the guys wanted to be him". He was really a painter at heart, and his music works as painting pictures. All the big names in UK rock at the time felt his influence and innovation, including a certain Paul McCartney!
Unfortunately this documentary is inaccurate and paints a poor picture of syd. He was at peace after leaving the industry. It was never for him, a true artist to be put into a box to pump out singles and be a celebrity. We see him as a poor soul but he was happy to be free and who he was. It's just shocking to see the abrupt change from a genius songwriter to just an average dude. We long for stardom, but is it really healthy for us?
He wasn’t happy, he was depressed. That being said, this video is inaccurate for painting him as lacking self-awareness. His interviews and his song lyrics definitely show he was more than aware of what was going on.
@@psychedelicpiper999 I guess we really don't know. I'm sure he was depressed but I'd like to think he was happy as well, painting and just doing his thing and not being bothered.
*Classic Rock Network* has a video *"Syd Barrett Up-close & Personal"* with interviews of young Syd. 🤍
Brother you gotta invest in youtube premium so you don't get them damn ads lol
