Which Floyd Video was I in?

Post by Uncle »

Sometime in the early - mid 1990's, maybe 1993-ish, I played Syd's Uncle in a film which, as far as I am aware, was used as a back projection at a Floyd tour.

The scene I was in, I believe, was shot in a large English country house, at the bottom of a large stone set of steps in what was akin to a large glasshouse, many large green ferns and such-like, wearing masks (?) with a pool at the bottom of the steps.

I seem to recall us encouraging him down the steps and into the pool.

Does any of this sound familiar?

If so, are there any links you might have as there's a major retrospective at London's V and A and it would be good to know if / where I appear in Floyd's anthology!

Yours
Uncle.

Sounds like the film for their 90's gigs of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". Did one of the cast wear a Miner's hat?
No idea if it's in the V & A however.

A bit off topic, but I wonder if the miner was supposed to be Roger Waters grandfather

I thought it was a heavy handed "Miner for truth and delusion" reference!

Had to be P.U.L.S.E with those dates.

Found a fleeting glimpse at 5:39, though there is a group shot or two before that also on the full concert on YouTube.

I have signed artwork from Gerald Scarfe somewhere from the filming too.

Oddly I went to that extra date at Earls Court after the stand collapse without realising I was in the film!

Cheers.
