Show #85 Release
date: 25. May, 2007
Two weeks ago, 10th of May at London's Barbican Centre. This incredible event was a tribute to the
late Roger "Syd" Barrett, produced by Nick Laird-Clowes
(of Dream Academy) with associate producer Joe Boyd (early
Pink Floyd's producer and founder of legendary UFO club in London). Surprise performances from Roger
Waters himself with Jon Carin then the entire current Pink Floyd line-up (David
Gilmour, Richard Wright, Nick Mason) were absolutely unbelievable!
The numerous other artists performing Syd Barrett's music included Damon
Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz), Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders), The Bees, Vashti
Bunyan, Captain Sensible, Robyn Hitchcock. The house band included Andy Bell
(bass, Oasis), Simon Finley (drums, Echo & The Bunnymen) and Ted Barnes
(guitar, Beth Orton). A remarkably
fitting tribute to Roger "Syd" Barrett. Doctored
for supersound!
