ABOUT DAVID GILMOUR
David Gilmour CBE, the voice & guitar of Pink Floyd, hit No. 1 in the UK with his 2006 solo album On An Island. Following Pink Floyd’s final album, 2014’s The Endless River, (No. 1 in 21 countries), David’s latest studio album, Rattle That Lock, and 2017's release of Live At Pompeii are out now. Buy via www.davidgilmour.com
A Cambridge friend of Syd Barrett, David joined Syd, with Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason, in Pink Floyd in early 1968, only for Syd to leave the group five gigs later. Pink Floyd's subsequent huge worldwide success continued after Roger Waters' departure in 1985, with the albums A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell both charting at No. 1 in the UK and the US, and sell-out world tours. Rattle That Lock released in 2015 and David’s 4th solo album, went to No. 1 in 13 countries. In 2017, Live at Pompeii released as a live album and film which was recorded at the Amphitheatre of Pompeii.

Syd Barrett was a true artist and should be celebrated as one of the greatest of all time. Thank you, David and company for keeping his memory preserved.

I've always wanted to hear David sit and tell the Syd story just like this. Not a documentry just the story and reflections raw as can be. You truly keep Syd alive in memory. I remember the day Syd dided I heard the announcment on the raido driving back from Ozzfest and it turly hurt the soul to hear. I will always remember that day because of that.

@Dimitris Athas David is a great guitarist and while Syd wasn't a technical virtuoso belting out blues leads he's one of my all-time favorites and I don't think he gets enough credit. Gilmour actually includes Syd in his list of favorite/influential guitarists and it was through Syd that David began to explore the use of effects. Also, being that presently there are tons of effects processors readily available (whether it be stomp boxes, rack units, DAWs and even apps), it may not seem that impressive from today's perspective but back then Syd was creating these insane soundscapes through his guitar that were unheard of at the time. So yeah, conventionally he's no Hendrix or Page but he sure as hell reigned in a new era of sound.

@cdkilo77 3 жыл бұрын

@Dimitris Athas I disagree. It's one thing to say you don't like his guitar style but to say he wasn't a musician is an insult. Syd wrote all the lyrics AND music on Piper and their early singles except for one song on Piper. Also, listen to his lead guitar playing on Gigolo Aunt. It's a great lead and has very unique phrasing. He also plays some great slide guitar on See Emily Play and Remember A Day. You don't have to like because music is subjective and everyone is entitled to their opinion but he literally created the sound of that era and genre and to say he isn't a musician is blatantly incorrect.

Gilmore should record 10 of Barrett’s songs on acoustic and release it for sure. I didn’t realize how involved he was with Syd’s solo work. I’d love to hear about him taking Syd to and from the studio.

@armpauloferreira 4 жыл бұрын

Why not a double featuring of music from both Syd Barret and Rick Wright solo works? I agree with the acoustic idea too. I love it a lot! The unplugged sound atmosphere would be awesome and very unusual. Maybe also just a couple of songs of both in the early Pink Floyd days with a Gilmour acoustic twist. Man, i would buy that in the same day they release it.

Fascinating discussion on Sid. Sad he left us too soon. I have a friend I still phone and visit from school. He sang at my wedding in 2010. He was great. We’ve known each other about 52 years. I’m 59 in August. Thinking of David and Sid I would say I resemble Sid more only because my youthful behaviour or misbehaviour lead to my becoming paralysed from the neck down at 18. I am now in my 41st year of paralysis. Life has on the whole been good. I can highly recommend it. Life that is, not paralysis.🤪

Especially when it comes to Syd. Family is the greatest. Yours seems splendid. I like to write but feel sad like Syd sometimes possibly felt. I think about how beautiful the world is in moments of silence. Thank you for putting that together in this video. Thank you Romany for the beautiful harp playing (accompanied by the wonderful baby gaggles) and the way you seem to capture such deep thought so naturally. Thank you Charlie for being such a driver with the questions and being so detailed with your work, Polly thank you so much for so much more, because I believe that behind every great man, there is even a greater woman. And finally last but not least, thanks to the beautiful lady at the right of the screen with baby for being such a great baby "distracter" and for the great set design.

My appartment was a sort of cinema where we have played hundreds of times Live in Pompey and the Wall. Thank you David!!❤️

What a charming and warm family. Some of my earliest memories of music were of my father playing Dark Side of the Moon on his 70’s hi fi. The music of Pink Floyd was a large part of the soundtrack of my childhood. Roger’s lyrics were a big part of my coming of age in my teens. David is the soul reason why I find myself on a 40+ year journey with the guitar. I’d quite love to spend an evening chatting, drinking wine, picking at Dave’s failing memory for the good stuff, and maybe even having a strum or two. This is as close, I suppose, as I will ever come to that. Thank you David and Polly! Be well.

It's impressive how we can feel that since Gilmour became the Pink Floyd leader he never forgot Syd Barret and have done these kind of stuff and other things to get Syd's music back. The Early Years was another way to get to it as a plus side effect. The same way we can say the same about Rick. He supported him, get him on his own music and concerts and even made the last Pink Floyd album working around the days of Pink Floyd still with Rick Wright. In the same idea, i can see too that The Later Years was a come back to those last years of Pink Floyd with Rick. I love all this peace and no problems evidence with their past songs and members. Great respect to David Gilmour. Many admiration to these "A Theatre of Dreamers" sessions... keep it coming.

I've still to decipher the mumbled words in "No Man's Land"". Thank you David. I will look forward to purchasing such a book as I will then have an idea of how accurate, or not, I was!
