Description
The Syd Barrett Tribute Concert held in London on May 10, 2007, was recorded completely uncut with a high-quality audience like a soundboard recorded on DAT. Although some of the video and audio have been leaked on the web, you should still check out the performances of the three current members of Floyd, Roger Waters’ solo, and the diverse guests such as Kevin Ayers, Captain Sensible, Mike Heron, Robyn Hitchcock, Chrissie Hynde, and Damon Albarn. In particular, the simple and rough performance of “Arnold Layne” by the three Floyd members is something that would never be possible under normal circumstances. Moreover, as expected of a Barrett tribute, each player showed a mysterious staging. The final session, “Bike,” features all members, but Roger was the only one who did not participate, as he did not want to share the stage with the current Floyd members. This is a must-listen for all fans of British music, as well as Barrett and early Floyd! (Disc 1): 01. Bike [Sense of Sound Choir] 02. Flaming [Captain Sensible and Monty Oxymoron] 03.
