How cool it was to be a teen in the 60s. Got married in the San Fran Love-in in '67 at age 21 and made it to Woodstock in '69. Somehow I survived and am 67 now. Sure have seen and heard a lot, lol. This old hippie is in the pasture now. :)

The guitar riff is simply brilliant.

I love Syd Barrett's wonderful contribution to PInk Floyd! It has made an impact that no other artist but Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin could have on me. I am a guitar player and I love the originality of his riffs. Especially since he was known to sometimes bang his guitar strings until they just downright detuned and broke it. He is a true rockstar and will always be one of my favorites. Does anyone else think the same?

I still have this first album of Pink Floyd's. Purchased in the summer of 67

Best Pink Floyd song!!!This is the real psychedelic rock!

This is a brilliant track

Am I the only one who desperately wants Syds guitar or at least a replica? The metal discs look so awesome...

Used to do a 20 minute version of this song (full on) with one of the first guitarists in Hawaii (that I knew) who had an echoplex. I was a drummer and boy was I tired at the end. RIP Syd.

I met this song in the 90s, when I bought the album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. For a long time I did not hear when I heard on the Doctor Strange's soundtrack. Pink Floyd is my favourite Band ever.

2:51 thats how I imagine stars sound like...

very true - I agree 100% - I would say that this would still be ground breaking if it was released today .

I love the RAW sound of this. AMAZING.

the best version..wonderful experimentation in the inner and outer limits!

No way, to me, this IS the dinfinitive version. It's so much better in every way, and it's just absolutely perfect.

Listening to this I can feel Syd's existence, in another dimension his weird soul is still alive. This track is better than LSD trip!

I WANT IT I NEED NEED IT TO MAKE ME FEEL HEATED

I know this song almost for all my life and it´s still the greatest music I´ve ever heard. If Pink Floyd had only recorded this one song, they would nevertheless have gone down in history as one of the greatest psychedelic bands ever. Syd was a f*ckin genius.

Mason actually carries almost the whole piece. In a masterly way

this song helps me escape everything for a bit

Lovely Bass intro, takes me back to 67 in Singapore , Changi a school swimming pool trip where I heard See Emily Play and Good Vibrations surrounded by girls in bikinis. Never forgot that day.

I need a whole night of dancing to music like this- the first few mins of this- at a club.

Breathtaking piece of music.

Syd Barret was a genius out there in a class of his own.

This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. Me and my friend always call this song "Interstoner Overdrive" thought for some reason.

This is far better than the album cut

Ni pensar que tan magistral interpretación fue hecha hace 50 AÑOS!!!!!!!! ;-{o

Barrett, Waters, Wright, Mason... what a combination!!!

I wish I could find other music from the mid-to-late 60s swinging and rocking as the first 5 minutes of this song. I envision the kids dancing in the London clubs back in the day. Pink Floyd usually isn't rocking and energetic so I really enjoy this little taste.

I wish I was alive to see Syd in concert.

One of the best instrumental rock tracks ever. Psychedelic Masterpiece. A pity that neither Waters and Gilmour play it live in those days. Dr.Strange gave new life to everlasting sound.THUMBS UP!

The most important psychedelia milestone after The Beatles's Tomorrow Never Knows, for me.

I prefer this version more than the studio version. Keyboards are much more involved here, the cooperation with the guitar is great. Pitty that Piper has usually shorter versions of tracks than those extended live versions which are imho better. It is not Interstellar only, it is almost of them.

This feels like the stuff psychedelic rock today was created from, like the magma that the earth was 4 billion years ago. Real music.

I want it I need it, need it to make me feal heated.

Absolutely Love this Version!

Top Psychedelic Song of Floyd's Library...love it.

Pura psicodélia queremos más rock de ese chingon!

Syd saw a documentary and the Pink Floyd awards ceremony on TV saw that they named him, and his sister witnessed that, his sister says that syd remembered everything but he did not have that euphoria or anything he knew about his past , the same thing happened to my cousin Lalo who woke up after 40 years of the LSCD AND WHEN HE WAKE UP ALREADY HIS MOM MY AUNT AND HIS FATHER ESTEVAN WERE NO LONGER ALIVE , a trip in the lscd can last year and years but when to wake up it's sad and heartbreaking.

I have this wonderful version on "The Pink Floyd - The Alternative Masters 66-68". Thanks for posting it.

don't believe have heard this version before. thanks, using all known tools to make sure i have a copy of this. wow. i though it was good before, now. no words. thky brother dan t.

I love pink floyd songs because you have to listen them all completely to feel the magic

Nice love it!!!! Thanks, Charlotte

Fairfield Halls, Croydon 18th January 1970. This was just the epic highlight. The rest was amazing, Saucerful of Secrets etc etc. Sublime

guitar tone from the skies

this is my workout song. awesome stuff!

1960's Batman on acid.

3:20 they were really focused, so together like a jazz group

It IS an interpretation of an acid trip...and it's pretty accurate I have to admit.

music from other space, it's so good if there are kings and/or queens in music then the Floy'd are GODS

Syd Barrett: Master

dammit there is something about these psychedelic sounds that make my soul blast off into void of space

...shine on you, crazy diamond...

Si me preguntaran cual es mi cancion favorita, sin duda elegiria esta joya. Larga vida a Pink Floyd.

Легенда.

Very groovy.

SYD era la psicodelia pura un genio incomprendido su cerebro viajaba a mil un adelantado de la epoca lastima q no supo lidiar con su adiccion a las drogas y sus amigos q tampoco lo ayudaron mucho me pregunto q hubiese pasado con el si no hubiera tomado el camino q tomo Fuiste y seras PINK FLOYD Por toda la eternidad❤

great song

Pink Flyod one day, and then every day !

i think of it as free rock, much like a lot of free jazz......theme->improvisation->theme

One small tab for man.... one giant trip, for mankind Welcome to the Interstellar Overdrive!

This is a live version featured on Tonight Lets All Make Love in London

Love this version!

Excellent

Una ejecución de sencillez con toque perfecto adelantados a su época y una pieza que desborda el cerebro lo dice todo, gracias Barret y compañía

Thank you! Thank you! Thank YOU!!!!!

syd is pink floyd, pink floyd is syd.

That was enjoyable

Only I want a time machine to see Syd and company playing this song oh god.

Judging by the comments, I guess I'm the only one that likes this. Seriously it is trippy and pretty raw, but I feel it works rather well. idk..........

Dos cosas que me fascinan de este Jam: 1)es impresionantemente hermoso(musica en estado puro),2) no sale Gilmour xD

I am stoned right now and this is heaven...RIP Syd!!!

Well it's not a Moog, it's a Farfisa. I think that Syd definitely has moments where he's just incoherent and dull and then points where he introduces really perceptive, weird and interesting ideas into the mix. I mean let's remember that this is truly some of the most experimental music ever made, no one had ever just sort of shat out atonal wanderings in a group context and actually made it an exercise in communication. And that is one thing that these guys possess a truly powerful talent for

thank you

great music!!!!!

This is how it's done.

@EriolTolkien you're right, it's not a song. It's an experience. No appology required

damn great stuff!!!

Dang, that took me somewhere. Transcendental.

Excellent great pink floyd

6th Anniversary of Syd's death today - respect man!

yes. yes. yes. yes. yes.

I love this song! I love pink floy! I love this musik! I love this time! but I live now here and not there )-:"

its amazing how much Barrett carried the other 3 in the beginning. Mason's drumming is good- nothing more. Wright's playing sounds forced at times, but Syd's in his own world here. Innovative playing. Just listen to the last 3 minutes- a freak out supreme that sounds in no way pretentious. He was the reason the Floyd were the IT band of 1967's swinging London. It was his band on this day. period.

yeah now you come and tell my face they were not tripping lsd when creating this stuff

@musacworld there were hundreds, whenever they played it at live shows they would improvise and add new twists onto it, but only two were ever recorded

Awesome! Great psychadelic Rock! Excellent LSD influence!

What a trip !!!

Heard this in Doctor Strange and had to come revisit!

this song is fucking good for trippy... imagine yourself listening this music with a cigarette and beer, look outside the window, then see a million imaginations. thx Pink Floyd for the most cool clasic song ever :)

Excelente de mis preferidas

Maybe the quintessential version of “Interstellar Overdrive”. This and the October 1966 “San Francisco Soundtrack” version really capture the band’s live sound at the time a little better than the Piper version (which is great as well). My favorite (studio) versions: 1. This version, Jan 1967. Sound Techniques Studio. Version used in “Tonight Let’s All Make Love in London” and released on “Pink Floyd 1966-1967” 2. October 1966. Thompson Sound Recordings studio. Used as the soundtrack to the film “San Francisco”. Released as a single for Record Store Day a couple years ago. I go back and forth between this and the last as my favorite. On any given day this could be no. 1. 3. Feb 1967. Abbey Road studios. The finished album version released on Piper at the Gates of Dawn. 4. Feb 1967 Abbey Road. Take 2. This is the basic track and basis of the album version without the overdubs. Released on the 40th anniversary version of Piper. 5. March 1967 Abbey Road. Take 6. For whatever reason, the band decided to record a short version (5 minutes long). This was released on a rare French EP and later on the 40th Anniversary version of Piper.

I've looked into the future, and see Doctor Strange fans coming.

Perfect 🙃

Anyone notice how great around 3:25 is?

@joanthonquaken anyone owning an astonishing bike with a basket, a bell, and things to make it look good

Amazing Psychodelic.

I was lucky enough to have an old Farfisa organ as well, like they used on Piper at the gates of dawn, sadly gone now 🙁

I've fallen back in love with Floyd again! :) (Not that I ever fell out, but you know what I mean :P)
