Popular Cape band 57 Heavy will channel their inner Pink Floyd for a special experience at the Cotuit Center for the Arts. The multi-media show features imagery inspired by the cover of the Pink Floyd album ‘Animals,’ which will be performed in its entirety along with ‘Dark Side of the Moon.’ Nate Blaser plays the acoustic guitar.

The repertoire spans songs from the entire Pink Floyd catalog, going back to the Syd Barrett era of the band’s 1967 debut “Piper at the Gates of Dawn.” Mr. Darlington has a pretty good sense, though, of what the average Brit Floyd fan wants.

‘Cheerio’ is track 8, but they lied and followed it up with ‘Time Between’. Mercifully though, this darker take on Syd Barrett’s solo works is the best thing all album, and for once doesn’t sound like it’s loaded with private innuendo.

But Gilmour told Classic Rock that it would feel wrong for the band to reunite without keyboardist Richard Wright who passed away in 2008, just two years after the band's front man Syd Barrett died. For now, Gilmour is focused on his own solo music.

Who was the better, Singer/Songwriter and Guitarist? Both are similar They both formed great and huge bands but left quite early after mental health problems and drug problems. Syd Barrett formed Pink Floyd in 1966 but left in 1968 after two albums 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (1967) and 'A Saucerful Of Secrets (1968) Peter Green formed Pink Floyd in 1967 but left in 1970 after 3 albums and live album, he did Fleetwood Mac (1968), Mr Wonderful (1968) and Then Play On (1969), he left after the 1970 live album at Boston. Though with Peter Green, he was the lead songwriter on all the albums he was on and wrote practically everything on Fleetwood Mac, Mr Wonderful and Then Play On, he wrote excellent songs like 'The Green Manalishi', 'Oh Well', 'Albatross', 'Black Magic Woman' and 'Man Of The World' whereas Barrett was main songwriter on Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, he was barely on Saucerful Of Secrets Both talented guitarist, while Barrett did two albums and finished in 1972, Peter Green carried on and did several albums in the 1970s and 1980s and founded his band in 1990s and tours today. Who was better?

Hello, I a a very artistic person. I am a huge musician, I love playing guitar, writing songs, and poems, along with painting and drawing. I want to make myself look very mysterious and good looking, someone you want to get to know, not because they look attractive necessarily but because of they just look, well, mysterious, like they're a book you want to read. My number one inspiration is Syd Barrett, the original front man of Pink Floyd. I think that his hairstyle would be perfect for me! Here is a perfect example of what I want: http://kom.net/~dbrick/music/barrett/barrett2.jpg Now, I am still in school, and my hair is blonde and totally straight. So, the complete opposite of what I want. What products and what procedures should I do to get my hair like that? I am kinda thinking about dying it black, but I am not so sure. Apologies for the semi-odd question. Thank you very much!!!

As a solo artist. I am just going to say top five, but you can say more if you want to :) In no particular Order: -terrapin -dark globe -golden hair -if its in you -here i go. I am very happy because today, i went to toronto and i went to this really cool band shirt store. I found a syd barrett shirt in the pink floyd section and i litterally squeeled because i have only seen syd barrett shirts online. Even though it was 30 bucks i got it! And i am very happy, i love this shirt. It looks like this: http://www.gomerch.com/shop/body.php?module=product_detailsπd=3478&id=98 :D Haha im sorry i didint catch the name! I saw shirts in the window and i just ran in lol. But i know where it is! Its on queen street west. Near black market Its really close to a record shop Very very Close to friendly strangers The store has a big window, with band shirts hung in it, and lights along the frame. Inside, all the walls are covered in band shirts :D Hope this helped! The people in the store are really nice too :)

Is there any chance to get hairstyle like this without using any chemicals apart from hair shampoo? I've got straight, little bit wavy hair, but I haven't got good experiences with using hair conditioners and stuff like that. http://i2.listal.com/image/1120627/600full-syd-barrett.jpg http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/46770757/Syd+Barrett.jpg

Not many people my age know about Syd Barrett, mainly because he left pink Floyd before they got big with the success of dark side of the moon. So, does anyone here appreciate his music? Oh and he was extraordinarily attractive, just putting it out there.
