    I love this interview with JOE Boyd - Pink Floyd's first producer. Recently unearthed from tapes. I interviewed Joe in 2001 for my documentary "The Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story ". Joe takes us on a wonderful journey through his encounters with Pink Floyd, including recording their first record , 'Arnold Layne' and running the famous UFO Club where Pink Floyd were the resident band for a few heady months from Dec 1966 to June 1967.
    To Joe, Syd Barrett was the creative genius without whom Pink Floyd would never have emerged as such a distinctive band.

    One day I was on a trail of breadcrumbs, meandering thru the valleys & peaks of youtube. Suddenly I discovered the little clearing in the woods that is your incredible video 'Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Case For Reasonable Doubt'.
    Which led to your interview with Phil Collins showing up in my recommends today. Genesis in all it's versions was part of my velvet youth, so of course I clicked & watched.
    Which led to this video, & now I know I'm about to plunge into the deep sunlit green water that is Syd Barrett. Again, lol! I did a deep dive several years ago, but I can't wait to see what your interviews reveal.
    Thank so much for this particular wander I'm on.
    Thank you for documenting so many stories while the storytellers are still with us, & thank you for sharing these documents on youtube.

    Imagine a record producer telling Beethoven to keep his songs to 3 minutes. Telling an artist to color inside the lines is unjustifiable…

      Too bad some of the musicians who were in bands like Ray Manzarek and Mitch Mitchell after Morrison and Hendrix passed didn’t get together with Syd with Sir George Martin producing… what could have been 🤔

      @@eugenegd2112 maybe, maybe not. It would take some time and adaptation. Just saying it would have been interesting. Both were without bands after Jim’s death and Syd’s departure from Floyd. Really any musicians who were available for various reasons. Maybe AI will give us something to wish there was more of 🤷🏻‍♂️

      @@pjamdragon1 I have a very high opinion of Manzarek and he's the guy who got me into keyboard playing, that being said I feel Ray was more of a chatterbox keyboard player and Syd was taking his time while playing, but that's just me.
      I would really like to see The Doors continue as an instrumental trio playing prog jazz after Jim' passing. peace

    Thank you John for uploading another one your extraordinary interviews. It’s heartbreaking to see Joe recollect how upsetting it was to see the change in Syd. Joe was such a wonderful producer & thoughtful/empathetic man. We’re so lucky that you have recorded so many interviews with these important people from the 60’s era.

    A Doors connection. People have called me crazy, but I believe that Pink Floyd's story is similar to the Doors. It's interesting to find out that the Floyd's demo was given to Jac Holzman, in the hopes of getting the band signed to Elektra Records.

    • @djshowtrial4565
      @djshowtrial4565 2 місяці тому

      Yeah! Interesting how Jac Holzman would take a pass,I had no idea that Elektra had scouting into the British scene. . . I imagine that he had signed Love to the label by this time but maybe hadn’t accepted the Doors, I saw an interview where he had to see two performances by that band before recognizing the potential. . . I imagine that Floyd of that era would seem really experimental but Barrett wrote these great singles too . . A difficult matter to consider for Elektra

    It's interesting here because I would say "Arnold Layne" was stealing the clothes and wearing them. A transvestite.
    Joe's interprettion is...... different lol

    I could easily see how Syd who (started as an artist who could work alone & focus) could have very easily have been overwhelm by fame. Especially with his mental conditions. He was an absolute diamond. Pun intended.
