My view is that David had a pre wedding dinner at Abbey Road on June 5th. That means Syd was seen by the folks who attended, but it has been confused as the wedding day.

Schaffner says Syd attended the wedding as well, but left early, never to be seen again by the band.

David swears Syd was not at his wedding. I have to think Syd just went along after the session to the EMI canteen where David had a pre wedding party.moom wrote:Schaffner says Syd attended the wedding as well, but left early, never to be seen again by the band.

I've read in a biography, that someone who also attended, at first didn't recognize Barrett.Mike Eder wrote:My view is that David had a pre wedding dinner at Abbey Road on June 5th. That means Syd was seen by the folks who attended, but it has been confused as the wedding day.

Excerpt from a very, very rare recording of the 'Wish You Were Here' sessions:
Pink Floyd:
"How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two...".
Syd Barrett:
"Hi fellows! Here I am! Where can I plug in my guitar?"
Pink Floyd:
"Get lost! You're ruining our concept!"

It's a shame they didn't indulge him and let him add some guitar. The end result might not have been much good (or on the other hand it might have been incredible) but however it turned out they didn't have to use it in the final mix.Wolfpack wrote:Syd Barrett:

'so wuddabout this story Syd asked to play and they couldnt be bothered?
to repeat a gag, "nobody knows where you are?", he was right there in the freaking studio ready to play!
too bad reality didnt fit the myth they were trying so hard to build'
THANK YOU!!!!
I have also always wondered this!
It's like crying over an ex girlfriend, then she shows back up in your life and wants to do something but she got fat and you're like "oh nevermind"

The year before the Wish You Were Here session, Syd recorded stuff the year before like If You Gotta Go Don't Be Slow.
Maybe these sessions would have been better had there been a Floyd member like Gilmour supervising. But then again it probably sums up "Poles Apart".
Of course I think it was after these abandoned unfinished sessions Syd put on the weight he displayed when he popped in to see his old band.
