What was your attachment or interest in Syd Barrett then?
And so we went to see all those shows - I think I saw Rainbow with him and a bunch of hard rock stuff and classic rock shows. I was friends with this English guy in high school who had moved over, and we were listening to Deep Purple, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd - and we were in art class together so we commandeered the boombox, playing all that sort of stuff.
the first big rock concert I went to was Pink Floyd on the Animals tour. (Bogawa and Thorgerson started work on Have You Got It Yet? years ago.) You directed a film about him called Taken by Storm: The Art of Storm Thorgerson and Hipgnosis, which led you to this movie about Syd Barrett. You have a long history with Storm Thorgerson, who died in 2013. Directed by Roddy Bogawa and the late album cover designer Storm Thorgerson, Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd paints a portrait of Barrett not as a calamitous, cult favorite, but as a tenderhearted artist whose creativity and imagination seemed to know no bounds.īogawa discusses the film with UCR below. The band's other surviving member, drummer Nick Mason, also appears, along with various other people who knew Barrett. Waters and Gilmour also appear in a new film Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, which debuts in theaters on July 14. Roger Waters and David Gilmour often refer to Barrett whenever they perform " Wish You Were Here." The Pink Floyd that most fans have come to know is the one that developed after Barrett's departure, but his brief presence left an indelible impact on the band's trajectory.
