Swede behind unique Pink Floyd concert.
The original Pink Floyd will play for one night at Gyllene Cirkeln in Stockholm.
The audience will be able to listen for the first time to a uniqu recording and
on stage are the original members as mannequins.
The Pink Floyd concert with the bands founder, Syd Barrett will be played on 3rd
and 7th of May this year. It's an almost 50 minute long, previously unaired
recording from September 1967 that now, for the first time will be played in
front of an audience where it was recorded 43 years ago.
Last summer a new edition of Syd Barrett's (1946-2006) music was released as a
box set Crazy Diamond. Still missing was live recordings of the early
psychedelic Pink Floyd, when Barrett was still the front man. Drugs and a
fragile mind made Barrett loose control of himself and the group. He was
replaced that same year by David Gilmour.
Gilmour has in interview said that they have been searching for live recordings
with the early Pink Floyd, but found nothing but snippets. Few Pink Floyd fans
has been able to hear what the band sounded like with Barrett. But here in
Sweden there is a recording from the Pink Floyd gig at Gyllene Cirkeln. The
concert date was the day before the debut album Piper at the gates of dawn
was
released in the US.
It was a famous Swedish sound engineer that recorded Pink Floyd on his Revox
recorder. He wants to remain anonymous for the time being to avoid being
contacted by the groups many fans and others who wants to buy the unique
recording.
It's a lucky coincidence that the Gyllene Cirkelns new owners 2 Grabbar &
Kök
has chosen to recreate the original interior decorations of the restaurant from
the 60's. We are trying to recreate everything as it was that night when Pink
Floyd played. I've managed to get mannequins that we are going to dress with
exact copies of the outfits that the band wore and the mannequins are being
sculpted by students at Konstfack (Fine Arts School) so that they will look like
the band members.
If possible, the opening acts that played on Cirkeln on September 10th 1967,
Sleepstones with Janne Schaffer and Ted Åström, and Bamboo with Michael
Rickfors
will also play at the event.
The two concert dates at Gyllene Cirkeln are before and after former Pink Floyd
member Roger Waters gig at The Globe on May 4th and 5th. Waters will most
probably attend the event at Cirkeln on May 3rd.
