(15,325 posts)1. Thank you! One of P Floyd's best songs.
This is a tribute to Syd Barrett, an original member of Pink Floyd - notice the title, Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
He was their lead guitarist and wrote most of their early hits, but he gradually went nuts and was kicked out of the band in 1968, three years after the group started.

Used album from Tracks in Wax in Phx, maybe 8th grade, in my room, doing homework listening w my over the ear headphones. The laughter at ~9:05 scared me to death. Right ear only, just like someone was looking over my shoulder. So good
