Re: Last night's London tribute to Syd Barrett (SZC)



Thanks for the update Rich! I knew someone mailed me they're going, but I've gotten into a bad habit of actually deleting mails and emptying the trash so couldn;t recall!!! My happily mispent youth paying me back!

JPJ and Robyn again. Cool, sounds like a growing relationship!

I figured youtube would fill the void. It's amazing what I'm finding on there lately! I'm also finding alot of folks posting music there sans video just to get stuff out that way! I wonder how long before that gets clamped down on.

The arrangement sound..errrrr...interesting. Shame about Waters and the rest of Floyd still being so pissy. Oh well.... kinda reminds me of...oh never mind!

Again, thanks. richard.mackey@xxxxxxxxx wrote:

JPJ played mandolin and backed Robyn Hitchcock on Gigolo Aunt.  I
couldn't see him on stage for 'Bike', but there were a lot of
musicians playing at the concert (probably 40+).  Definitely no sign
of Jimmy.

To be honest the version of Arnold Layne was pretty shambolic - it
sounded like they got together in the afternoon and practised it once.
However, it wasn't as shambolic as Kate McGarrigle & Martha
Wainwright doing See Emily Play (as arranged for piano and cello!).
There were plenty of people filming it on phones so I'd expect parts
of the concert will appear on Youtube in the near future.

Any , ahem, sound bites ?
