Too bad "Let There Be More Light" wasn't at all related to Syd. It was completely written by Roger Waters, and featured him on bass, DAVID GILMOUR (= not Syd Barrett) on guitar, Nick Mason on drums and Richard Wright on keyboards.

We're talking about FGT here. Obsessed with the dead, remember?

I have news for you, FGT. Syd wasn't a far right-winger like you at all.

Syd never made any comments regarding his political views whatsoever, to my knowledge, so I don't quite see how you can make that statement.

I know adding one and one can be really difficult, but it's not impossible:
1) Roger Waters is left-winged to say the least
2) Roger expressed on several occasions that he and Syd shared the same views on life and society
Add these two together: you have to deduce that Syd was left-winged.

Not that it matters terribly, but it has always appeared to me that, despite his unity with Mr. Waters, which I do not dispute, Syd has never really taken an active role in politics in any way shape or form. It appeared that it wasn't really something he cared about one way or another. If you were to ask him, he would probably respond the way he did when asked about the Floyd: "It's nothing to do with me." Then he'd go back to his gardening and painting.

Good grief. The time for fans to miss Syd was over 30 years ago , so unless you're a family member you're either dreaming or lying. The last interview he gave was in 1971, and from then until now, there are only about 20 recorded encounters of any kind. I don't believe you were among the lucky 20 (especially as you're only 18 and in the USA) so get with the program. It's sad that he's gone but apart from his family no one knows him well enough to actually miss him. Neil

It is all live, but quite good audio quality, surprisingly. But no liner notes or information on the recording session(s)!!!

Your opinion is worthless, seeing as the usual downpour of shit from your fingertips onto this forum is too.

Just shut up, OK?

Ironically he probably thinks his behaviour makes him look clever, when in actual fact it makes him look like a moody, insecure teenager. Hopefully his hormones will settle down eventually. Probably best to try and ignore him.
