Woah, I didn't know Syd was at a Rainbow gig. I can understand why he freaked; going up against that kind of thing can't be something to look forward to.

I wonder if he was at the Feb. 22 show. That'd be something; one of the greatest Pink Floyd RoIOs in history also had Syd in the audience.

They aren't very forthcoming with information, are they? :roll:

You'd think we were asking them to reveal some top secret information!!!

well how much info do we really know about all the gigs? changes in setlist, Syd's possible interaction with the crowd (although unlikly), reactions from the crowd, how many people yelled out INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE!!! and if Syd seemed annoyed. so where are all these people who saw Syd live? all these pink floyd fans on one forum and no one saw any of these shows?

They had to have experienced something! What was the atmosphere of the concert? Was the crowd receptive? What songs were played that caused audience reaction? Did the band sound in-sync? What was Syd wearing? :twisted:

yes i often think about this, it's not that Syd was "crazy" as many people like to say. his mind just operated in a unique way that was not "normal" by society's standards. he could care less what others thought about him. i can certainly understand some of his viewpoints, for example lip synching for a tv performance, the directors thought Syd didn't "get it" when Syd was probably thinking, "wow, these producer people really don't "get it" or get what music is really about"

"Have you got it yet?"

:lol: :lol:

I agree with you Cymbaline, though it is impossible for any of us to really know for sure. It is not at all uncommon for a "genius" to inhabit a very different plane of intellect and subsequent consciousness. There is no doubt Syd was extremely gifted, and was a genius by more than a few accounts.
