INFO: Syd Barrett is an odd character in rock music history. He was the co-founder of the legendary rock band Pink Floyd and decided to leave the band early on despite massive success in the UK and neighbouring countries. In parallel with their early success and fame Barrett developed an erratic behaviour that people often link up to his heavy use of LSD. He stopped showing up for gigs, tv performances and overall lost the spark in his eyes. The once creative leader, songwriter and allround charismatic spirit of Pink Floyd turned into a completely different person in just the matter of months. In this video we briefly look at his story as well as his last song with the band “Jugband Blues”. The song has an odd similarity structurally to how Syd’s music career started, moved forward and ended.
