The Syd Barrett Story (Full Retrospective Analysis Documentary)

Although to casual and even diehard ‪@pinkfloyd‬ fans, the answer to the title of this video might seem obvious; the cult following of Syd Barrett would argue there is more room for debate than one might initially suspect. As both a massive Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett fan, I felt this simple question gave me a fantastic opportunity to analyze the early Pink Floyd discography as well as Syd Barrett's brief but impactful solo career to showcase both the merrit of the early years of Pink Floyd and Syd himself.

This "Retrospective Analysis" took over a year to produce, a lot of trial and error, as well as roadblocks along the way that required perseverance. In other words, this video is a labor of love to the Pink Floyd fan community, and should not be taken as anything more than that. If you found the video enlightening or valuable to your appreciation of Pink Floyd, then that's good enough for me. In other words, this video should not be misinterpreted as a "definitive Pink Floyd biographical documentary". I do often quote biographical information in my analysis of the group's work, however it is intermixed with my own personal opinions and observations that therefor make this video less biographical and more analytical and subjective. If you are searching for a documentary about the band's career from an entirely biographical perspective, THIS VIDEO IS NOT FOR YOU. Like an interpretation of the Kubrick film "The Shining", one must use their own judgement and critical thinking to decide whether my interpretations of the group's early career are entirely valid or not for you. My only goal is to stimulate the Pink Floyd fandom into a more intellectual discussion than the simple "David Gilmour Vs. Roger Waters" debate that has persisted for decades, and shift that focus to a time where control of the band was in the hands of one man... Syd Barrett.

Thank you for watching, and I hope you all find or further your appreciation of early Pink Floyd through this video!
