Two English gentlemen having a most civilized chat. What a most pleasant listening/viewing experience. I fear this is almost a lost art these days.
Thank you John. These are true treasures and I hope that you are storing them within a well-regulated university archival storage and oversight arrangement. These are, and will be, excellent primary sources for future writers, researchers, and scholars.
You must be deservedly proud of your work here. Chapeau bas!
Thank you Neal. I had received complaints from a few viewers that the sound and picture quality on this interview in its previous incarnation was not of the highest quality, hence this new upload. I went back to the original tapes and had another go. I am delighted you found it enjoyable ! I think it fair to say that your comment is far from just average (:
Great interview. Thanks John ❤
Excellent , Thanks John
Definitely need this improved sound mixing for the Richard Wright interview
Thanks for the feedback. I'll consider doing that.
Always spoiling us John! Take care ❤
Another excellent interview, another trip into the great Floydian mystery, and another priceless document generously put here on CZcams.
💯
Thanks, John!
🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you John for these uploads! Hearing these men talk so candidly is an immense privilege
Syd was so great, it was his band even when he wasn't in it.
He could see the pitfalls of fame & fortune. An honest soul, lost in a world of narcissistic “look at me”…
Totally ❤
They got him to teach the songs to "David" then got rid of him..
@@iaindcosta whatever Sid went through, it was his journey. David was an excellent addition to Pink Floyd. His guitar playing is unique. I’m lucky enough to have seen them play live at Earls Court in 1994. To this day I’ve never witnessed anything like it…& believe me, I’ve seen a lot of bands.
@toucheturtle3840 Sounds like a great experience, though if I had a time machine I'd like to see Syd leading the band, especially with the famous Zippo and detuned strings!
Thanks a lot, John. Nick is always a great interview, and I love how he has been keeping the early Floyd music alive (my favorite period) in recent years in his "Saucerful of Secrets" band. Nick, if you see this, we need to see you perform in Florida!!!!
I love to hear stories about Syd. Thanks John.
Amazing John, thank you mate 👍
Wonderful to see a fellow Deadhead here... Much love❤
This series of interviews with the key Floyd protagonists is thoroughly enjoyable and reflects well on your talents as an interviewer. Thanks John.
thank you!
Bike is a very beautiful song. There's nothing else like it. It's on my favorites list. But Syd composed mostly very abstract compositions that were convoluted. Most people lose interest in compositions that are impossible to relate to... or simply thrown together too fast or effortlessly. Cancer patients who opt for chemotherapy lose their hair... including their eyebrows. Only the strongest have enough willpower to keep it in remission for decades... as other precursor symptoms of a different disease, such as one of many autoimmune diseases a person could be orn with, is a harbinger of something much worse that's on its way. Syd chose to live with his mother because he was cool like that. The chemistry of Pink Floyd is magical. Nobody intended to hurt anyone's feelings... that is evident. Not everyone chooses their own fate, but everyone chooses their own path and Syd Chose to live his remaining years with his mother and sister. Had he chosen to continue a lifestyle of debauchery in smokey bar-rooms instead, I wouldn't be able to compliment him. Obviously, the Pink Floyd band felt enough affection for their friend to attribute a body of work to him as his childhood concepts influenced others to experiment in the studio... and that's how the magic happened.
The whole band was too abstract in their early years... the frustrations of growing pains while transitioning into aldulthood reflected on the work... it took some time to molt out of that monstrosity of a cocoon by the nile and acquire enough skills and talent to make a lady smile.
Good interview and his honesty is refreshing he shouldn't be hard on himself for the way the American tour and Syd's illness went they were all young how could they know how to deal with that stuff, really difficult for anyone never mind people in their 20s.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day John also Thursday is my dad birthday ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Happy birthday to your Dad !
Nick Mason sounds troubled when Syd comes up, as if guilt is still weighing on his mind. And that body language reveals a lot. Would it have helped Nick's memory if you had played Vegetable Man and Scream Thy Last Scream for him during the interview? Well, done what's done, an excellently subtle interview once again. Big thanks, John !
Wonderful interview, I love the way you guide the conversation with such thoughtfulness and consideration, the dialog feels so genuine and chill, it would be cool to see you at some point during the interview for context if that video exists, audio sounded great, looking forward to more content! :)
Wow, thank you!
These are great interviews. I would recommend adjusting the titles to include the fact that these are focused on Syd Barrett. I think that will help with the Feed recommendation and also help dummies like me that watch the whole thing and then realize it was only going to cover Syd.
Hi. Sorry you had to watch it all ! The info about the Syd focus is there on the video info. The problem with including two much info in the title is that the CZcams algorithm seems to recommend videos far more if they have the simplest of titles. I have just learned this is why my Gilmour interview continues to attract such interest. Very few people complain -once they get into the interview they're hooked !.
I hope the guys in the band read to comment number 19 cos that's me!
what do you mean by “improved sound”? i understand the image is in the correct aspect ratio now but what is the difference with the sound?
Some people said they were finding it difficult to hear the interviewer (me) .. it's now mono instead of stereo which keeps the interviewer's voice level with Nick's plus audio levels are boosted somewhat.. but it's not brilliant because. It's from a 23 year old tape !!
@@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES oh okay i understand that, thanks for putting these interviews up in full by the way, not all documentarians/interviewers like to do that but i know floyd fans really appreciate it
Interesting how the architect comes out with references to songs "design".
There’s a story after Syd. He was only on the first two records and an integral member at that time. I want to know more about the band without him.
Woww, no man, Syd ‘s soul is there eternally. In every album, lyrics, melody, structure. He gave the whole direction of Floyd ✨💫
@@henygiesewell I mean hold on lol. They are kinda right, there is whole stretches of pink Floyd's Career that I'm sure people also wanna hear.
Nick appears very uncomfortable in this interview. Must be sick to the back teeth of raking over this ground again and again.
This was in 2001. He seemed very happy to me. He took me on a tour of his classic sports car collection afterwards.
@@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES Great interview, he seemed happy to me too. I'm a car fan so would have loved to have seen his cars!
@@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES did you film the cars by chance?
@@Daryl_Phillips_ No. sorry
Corsham I presume beautiful village Pickwick in Corsham ❤
Apparently, these people (bandmates and managers) didn't really communicate or communicate well with each other. They certainly didn't speak up when Roger took it upon himself to fire Rick Wright. Rick was their bandmate and friend, and they were fine with Roger making himself the one and only decision maker. I can't imagine not speaking up about my band mate being fired by someone not officially in charge. They were cowards.
I have listened to all the interviews by the bandmates, managers, and others. Syd did not like the direction the band was heading and was vocal about it. Yet, it seems that none of these people asked Syd what he would like to see happen. If they did, not one of them have spoken of it.
The interviewer can't seem to get the questions out of his mouth and Nick can't seem to remember much of anything. Useless interview.
During the later period you mention, Rick was having personal problems with depression and drug use (cocaine) and stopped showing up to rehearsals. In effect, he ceased contributing to the band. Wright himself has never said a bad word about Roger concerning that time. It's only netbots like yourself who like to repeat the negative gossip. And if you can't appreciate Nick Mason's charming wit and Edgington's sensitive approach to interviewing, that's your loss.
Apparently, you haven't. I've read David Gilmour interviews saying they had to fire him because he wasn't pulling his weight..
@@LoyalOpposition t
Then why did they bring him back after Roger left?
@@deniseparker6346 I guess you haven't read ANY interviews... Move along.
@LoyalOpposition I'm currently reading "Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd" by Julian Palacios. I'm guessing the "move along" comment is supposed to be demeaning to me. Big fail.
Roger.. well he is and was a.. bass player who thought he'll run the 🌎
Roger is also a guitarist--he was the lead guitarist for the first band he formed with Nick and Rick--as well as a multi-instrumentalist, not to mention a gifted songwriter who composed timeless lyrics and melodies. And you are ... what?
