Rare SYD BARRETT Concert Poster Being Auctioned
February 17, 2008, 16 years ago
In 2005, PINK FLOYD fan-site Brain-damage.co.uk reported about
a recording of a concert that Syd Barrett participated in back on January 27th, 1972.
The band - THE LAST-MINUTE PUT-TOGETHER BOOGIE BAND - included Jack Monck on bass, Twink on drums, and Fred Frith on guitar. Their set that night consisted of 5 blues songs before Syd comes on stage for a long jam ('Number Nine') followed by three blues songs/improvs ('Gotta Be A Reason', 'Let's Roll' and 'Sweet Little Angel').
Up for auction on eBay currently is the rare poster for the event (click thumbnail above to enlarge). The poster has not been seen in public since it was on display in Cambridge in early 1972, and is bound to be of interest to serious Barrett collectors, as well as fans of the headliners PINK FAIRIES and HAWKWIND.
