Happy Solstice all you prog rock weirdos!

Thank the rock gods for tight pants

Hi! I'm new to Pink Floyd, and I wanted to ask you if you could recomend some interview or video?

I would definitely steer you to Pink Floyd’s Live at Pompeii first! It’s a great film they made in 1972 right before Dark Side was released. It has performances interspersed with footage of them recording in the studio and has interviews as well! You can find most of the clips on YouTube I believe.

I would also recommend watching all of the members’ (sans Syd) interviews for John Edginton’s Syd Barrett documentary, as well as the documentary itself. You can watch these on YouTube as well and Edginton has posted the full versions of them with info you don’t get from the actual documentary. Here’s Roger’s, Rick’s, and David’s: https://youtu.be/hI0lFi1JFHQ https://youtu.be/URbiyWY-szY https://youtu.be/RQhxEpXEaNA

Hope this was helpful!

Oh my god it finally happened I had a dream last night where Roger kissed me on the lips I’m SCREAMING his lips were so soft

— DIDN’T THEY DO WELL T-SHIRT — 🎸

‘Didn’t They Do Well’ was a catchphrase from then popular British ‘The Generation Game’ show, produced by the BBC, in which four teams of people from the same family, but different generations, competed to win prizes. The programme was first broadcast in 1971 and ran until 1982, and again from 1990 until 2002.

Early in 1973 David Gilmour was snapped wearing this red ‘Didn’t They Do Well’ t-shirt in a series of poses whilst strumming a guitar and twiddling the knobs at his home recording studio in London.
