This is a very unlikely American Bandstand guest. It’s pretty odd.
This is with Syd Barrett, 1967, before David Gilmour.
Barrett looks deranged, which he was.
This song is odd, very dated, but interesting to see. One thing I realize is that Roger Waters has a punchable face.
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you’re gonna go far
You’re gonna fly high, you’re never gonna die
You’re gonna make it if you try, they’re gonna love you
Well, I’ve always had a deep respect an’ I mean that most sincerely
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think

Which one’s Pink? 🙂
They had a ton of lousy stuff before Meddle, then Dark Side of the Moon.

“They had a ton of lousy stuff before Meddle, then Dark Side of the Moon.”
…I kind of liked “Careful With That Axe, Eugene”, tho, but the midnight “art” movie in the theatre full of reefer smoke might have had something to do with it…

A number of English groups often had “The” in front of their names in a way that sound weird to Americans. I think I have seen that with Procol Harum and Status Quo.
Originally they were “The Pink Floyd.”
I don’t remember when they changed – probably when they jettisoned Barrett.
“Atom Heart Mother” and “Obscured by Clouds” sucked pretty bad.
(course I could be remembering something that didn’t happen – as Joey Biden does)

Seen through a little windowpane and the sound? Well, you can see the color.
Did “the” Queens ever do Bandstand?
They’re all terrible at lip syncing.
I guess being basically a jam band at this point in their career they didn’t get many chances to be on TV and practice pretending.
Their lip sinking sucked…..
“Did “the” Queens ever do Bandstand?”
I believe Wham! made an appearance or two.
Led Zeppelin was also introduced as the Led Zeppelin every once in a while. It’s because the other bands were the Beatles the Hill the Rolling Stones etc.
I bagged groceries for Dick Clark and his wife many times in the late 60s. Nice guy. We had quite a few celebrities come into the store, I name drop here from time to time.
Note: I literally Bagged groceries; it’s not a euphemism for something else.
very punchable
35 seconds.
Saw Brit Floyd few years ago. Really good. Played the whole of Dark Side of the Moon note for note. However when they asked for requests they said they won’t do Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.
Seen them twice in halls that held 3000 max. Dam good quad channel sound system for the day. Yes the 3 black chicks in full length blue sequine gowns sang Obscured by clouds.
It would have been far worse had they actually tried to sing into microphones.
On the spot in Austin City Limits with no auto-tune and no airbrush tells what’s you get raw.
Roger is the ugliest mofo. He was very good at maniacal shouting on The Wall album though.

Sid Barrett was very talented, but mentally ill. David Gilmour gave the group it’s shine. Jew-hater Roger Waters belongs at the bottom of a river, wearing cement shoes.
Their first album was always my favorite. Lucifer Sam is a great cut!
Syd Barret did have a unique way of seeing things. The excessive use of LSD didn’t help him though.
How they ever made it after that train wreck is amazing. I was never a fan of Pink Floyd. I’d much rather see The ZZ Top or The Eric Clapton.
I always loved Pink Floyd, but that song stunk.
Everything is Green in deep deep Submarine.
A couple webbed feet would be some things I need.
I.F. asap.

Dislike them. Always thought of them as “The music of utter hopelessness”
Syd wrote 2/3 of the songs on the Pink Floyd box set. Case closed.
I got flashbacks of Spinal Taps 60’s smash hit “(Listen to The) Flower People”

I happen to enjoy Pink Floyd’s music. My dirty mind likes the Brit slang for a dick. That being said, Roger Waters is the epitome of a Pink Floyd, yet when Syd Barrett was let go, the band did pay for his care.

==================
“Apple Records” was inevitable, then.
