הנה הדיווח הרשמי מdavidgilmour.com: An anticipated embarrassment of riches was the order of the day at the Madcap's Last Laugh concert, which featured an unheralded David Gilmour stage appearance – joined by a couple of friends named Richard and Nick. Organised by Pink Floyd's first producer, Joe Boyd, and Nick Laird-Clowes of Dream Academy, the concert at London's Barbican Hall was a celebration of Roger 'Syd' Barrett's life and music. As publicised, a varied list of performers gave their own particular renditions of Syd songs: Kevin Ayers; The Bees; The Incredible String Band's Mike Heron; and Chrissie Hynde, to mention only a few. Of course, there were several surprise guests, including Damon Albarn and a solo Roger Waters, who performed a rarely heard Flickering Flame, accompanied only by his own acoustic guitar and Jon Carin on keyboards. Syd was represented on film throughout, and the spirit of the Sixties was vividly recreated by early Floyd lighting designer Peter Wynne Wilson's masterly use of oil-wheel psychedelia. After a short but evocative speech by Joe Boyd, David, Richard and Nick performed an incandescent version of Arnold Layne, with Andy Bell from Oasis on bass, and our very own Jon Carin on keyboards. Wrapped up by an all-ensemble rendition of Bike, the evening was a fitting memorial to a unique and hugely influential individual. ויש אחלה תמונה בצד...
