Pink Floyd Peform At Syd Barrett Memorial Gig

Members of Pink Floyd performed at a Syd Barrett memorial gig in London last night.

David Gilmour and Roger Waters performed separate sets at the Barbican Centre. The pair famously fell out 25 years ago.

Waters performed a solo set, while Gilmour was joined by original Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Rick Wright to perform a selection of Barrett tracks including ‘Arnold Layne’ – the group’s very first single together.

Also performing Barrett tracks on the night were the likes of Damon Albarn, Chrissie Hynde and Robyn Hitchcock.

A huge finale at the end of the show saw everyone, except Waters, join forces on stage to sing a rendition of ‘Bike.’

Syd Barrett died at the age of 60 last year from complications linked to his diabetes problem.

All the performances were absolutely great, apart from Roger Waters who decided to sing one of his own self indulgent, boring songs. Otherwise a totally magical night!

Graham H: ”Flickering Flame” is hardly self indulgent and certainly not boring! Roger Waters had the decency to pay tribute to his friend with a poignant, if slightly nervous performance. ”When my synapses pause in my quest for applause / When my ego lets go of my end of the bone / To focus instead on the love that is precious to me / Then I shall be free / I shall be free”
