"The Dark Side of The Moon" - Pink Floyd
Another master piece. Worth while listening to the whole album.

I have... like a 1000 times ?
I listened to the Hagar and Felder versions of Heavy Metal on my way through California today!
When they were recording the album Syd turned up unannounced and it was the last time the band saw him.
"On June 5th 1975, Pink Floyd would see their old bandmate and former ringleader Syd Barett for the final time. The pioneering musician dropped in on one of the band’s recording sessions for the acclaimed Wish You Were Here out of the blue and, in truth, he looked a shadow of his former self.
Legend has it that Barrett arrived into the studio at the very same time that the band were working on the track ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ which was about their fallen founder. Barrett had left the music industry for good by this point, choosing instead to live out of a London hotel. Having cut out contact with his former bandmates, his arrival at the recording studio left them rippled with shock.
The Barrett that arrived at Floyd’s studio on that June evening was a completely different entity to the one they had last seen a few years previously. The musician had become bloated and, even though he was physically there in the studio, mentally he wasn’t.
Pink Floyd were initially bewildered by his arrival, assuming he must be a member of the crew and it took a while before Gilmour eventually identified him as their former bandmate. Waters, it is said, immediately broke down in tears after seeing what Barrett had become. That June day also happened to be Gilmour’s wedding day, so Barrett wandered into the guitarist’s reception at EMI but then left without telling anyone, disappearing in a similarly strange fashion as he’d arrived.
Waters would have one final chance encounter with his bandmate, a devastatingly sad occurrence: “The last time I saw him was a couple of years after he turned up at the Wish You Were Here sessions,” he told the Mirror in 2008. “I bumped into him in [British department store] Harrods where he used to go to buy sweets, but we didn’t speak — he sort of scuttled away.”
Such a sad story
Listening to Weather Report at the moment -some of you folks might dig this spacey dub/instrumental guitar tune I released a few days ago:
Cheers!
Cheers!
Yeah. Read about that some time ago. Must have been hard on the band.When they were recording the album Syd turned up unannounced and it was the last time the band saw him.
