Dashing clothes & perfect hair... but look at the eyes....look at the eyes. They seem a little bit in shock or he just has a case of "Bug eyes" for the camera person.

The eyes have that "like black holes in the sky" look in them

More like that "Permanent State of Shock" that Mick Rock alluded to in his Rolling Stone interview w/ Syd in '71.

C'mon...It was a candid photo that was taken when Syd was a part of the band period. Roger looks just as dazed.

I guess everyone has their own interpretation of this photo. To me, no one seems to happy in this pic & this could be one of those "3 shows in one night in 2 different countries"thing. Syd could also be mugging it up for the camera. He is impeccably dressed in my opinion, but the band on a whole look stressed and/or very tired.

So Im the only thinking he might look like that due to a heavy night of drugs / booze the previous night ? :?

Roger looks like he had a busy night drinking. Syd looks OK IMHO, apart from the makeup which makes him look more worn out. But if you look at the other artists from that period you'll notice almost everyone wore makeup those days.
