Rating: Summary: Horrible Review: This DVD is horrible, Discusting & very disrespectful to Mr.Barrett. Who in their right mind would film something like that. I am so discusted I cannot continute.So long!
Rating: Summary: Does Nothing To Remember Syd Barrett, The Musician Review: This fifteen minute homemade film of former Pink Floyd songwriter (1965-68) Syd Barrett taking mushrooms and other drugs is absolutely degrading. Instead of remembering Syd as a brilliant songwriter and musician, it instead elevates his reputation as a reclusive drug addict. Syd was once a bright musician, with a lot of great ideas, and a brilliancy when it came to songwriting. But sadly he turned to drugs, and it severely damaged his mental health. Barrett has even made it clear through relatives and "representatives" that he does not want this part of his past flaunted by anyone or any company, and for good reason. This "document" is an insult to Roger Keith Barrett, the person. Drug addiction is a sad thing, but exploiting it on camera and releasing it to the public for their viewing pleasure is absolutely degrading.
Rating: Summary: For Die Hard Pink Floyd or Syd Barrett Fans only Review: This is a great piece of history, and is now available on DVD is a cool footage with syd and some kids running around doing shrooms and stuff, but that's not the important part, the important part is that here's the footage of pink floyd after signing there first contratc with EMI and that's history, the music is excellent although is not pf music, but if you have 10 bucks lying around pick them up and buy it.
Rating: Summary: Something from normal life Review: This video is not what most people would expect when they buy a movie. It's about 11min, long, theres no sound except for some erie music that was added in to give feeling to the movie, and its shot on a 8mm home movie camera in the 60's. But thats what makes it so good. it shows Syd and Pink Floyd as normal people getting high in the countryside and outside Abbey road studios after they signed their contract. This movie has a personal touch to it that most movies shot of Syd and Floyd dont since they are usually highly organized affairs, while this was shot by a friend just having fun with his camera, which goes to show what a short old film you shot 1 day might be worth.
Rating: Summary: shine on good ol' BARRETT ! Review: we,Floyd Fans,deserve more than what the market have for us till now,, I fail to see why the publishers are keeping on hold a DVD release of such classics like :Live at pompeii ,Delicate sound of thunder,Pulse,...etc BUT,,I'm really glad to have this one in my library,,you should get it also if you're into collecting Rare Editions of Legendary bands like the Floyds.. and one last thing,,it's a correction of what an interviewer here have said this dvd is silent, it's not. this DVD comes with music by Hypnotic Records recording artist Dilate.
Rating: Summary: People need to relax aboiut poor SYD Review: While I understand all the bad reviews about this disc, it's still a piece of history that SYD fans should see. I see it as lesson about potential and how drugs undermine that potential. Yes, I feel sorry for SYD but the fact remains, he did it to himself. There is so little footage on the Crazy Diamond, that I for one would buy anything containing more footage. The quality of the images are first rate and I only wish it was longer. This man should be left alone, I agree. But from I read, he sure could use the money, so buy it and help out old SYD. He has to be getting a cut of these sales. If not, let's hook him up with a good US lawyer. He hasn't uttered a public word in 30 years and yet here we are, still hovering over a talent so rich, we're still hungry for it. This disc speaks to that and to his early self gererated demise. This disc is a lesson that drugs can burn out your star, no matter how brightly it shines.
