Syd Live
every time I read story's about Syd's group " Stars " I'm left feeling that they only played one Gig...the corn Exchange and it went badly. However , If I'm not mistaken, there were actually several gigs Performed by Stars , maybe 7 or 8 , maybe others. My point of this ramble is .... how did the other gigs go? are there any known reviews? were they good , bad or Ugly? Just curious. Thanks.

The Stars gig at the Corn Exchange was horrendous and received terrible reviews. I wholeheartedly believe after Syd walked off the stage, knowing what a failure it was, precluded him from ever performing live again. Such a shame. I've heard some ROIOs from that show, and the acoustics....geez! Syd had to virtually scream the words to the songs, and you still could barely hear him!

I've read (however reliable that is) that the few other gigs Stars did were at parties and such so I doubt any reviews were made.

this is very interesting, i wonder if he got a backstage pass! , i bet some fan was like whoa! i saw Syd in line at the bathroom! and his friends were nah man you've been doing too much acid.lovescene4 wrote:
According to bassist Jack Monck, the early Stars gigs went well. A few days before the infamous show with MC5, Syd went to see his old band play at the Rainbow Theatre in London. I'm guessing the level of audio/visual sophistication they'd achieved by that time did not help his confidence.
