I absolutely love seeing television shows from the 1960s, especially when the picture quality is not bad at all. It certainly beats my millionth generation VHS tapes...

Syd On The Beach

1 2

Here's a DVD that I put together to showcase one of the rarer Syd Barrett films. It shows him running around on a beach with his bandmates. When I tried describing this film to people, they inevitably thought I was trying to describe the promo film for Arnold Layne. But, this is not the case. We have this beach film from 2 sources. In this DVD project, I provide both original sources, completely unmodified. There is also a third version, which is a slowed down, cropped version that I built so you can see the action a bit better.

This DVD is the third one listed on the cover art above.

Probably the best documentary that you've never heard of... Made back in 1994 as a joint project between PBS and the BBC, this is one of the best documentaries on the subject of psychedelic music I have ever seen. There are loads of archival films and new interviews. This insanely obscure DVD contains about 15 minutes of unbroadcast material. Additionally, this remains the ONLY official DVD that contains portions of Syd's American Bandstand appearance. Sadly, there is a fair amount of Japanese narration and subtitles. But, I'll take that any day compared with overdubs! The interview of Peter Jenner speaking about the earliest version of the Floyd's lighting equipment is worth the price of admission all by itself.

The "broadcast" version of the documentary was issued on VHS in the States, but only sold to music educators, not the general public. Happily, I was able to arrange to purchase a copy. The advantages of this edition are that there is no Japanese narration or subtitles. But, it is also a bit shorter and the picture quality is not as sharp as the DVD source. When I built the DVD project, I added some bonus footage from a different documentary, "Have A Nice Decade", which also came out in 1994. Eight Miles High contains Roger's comments. Have A Nice Decade contains Dave's views. I wonder if they planned it that way ?

The Wall - Parker's Perspective

1 2 3 4 5 6
You may be aware that the commentary on both of the official editions of the DVD is by Roger Waters and Gerald Scarfe. Alan Parker (the director) had a commentary track on the insanely limited second edition of the laser disk. (Most copies of the laser disk are the first edition and do not contain the Alan Parker commentary.)

The film that really launched David L ynch's career. Oh, of course, there were earlier ones. But, this is the one that really heated things up. Sadly, the LD release was terribly limited - and a DVD release has never happened. Check out the Easter Egg on this one - you won't find that weirdness anywhere else...
