The Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story tells the full bizarre, tragic but also celebratory story of Syd Barrett with contributions from all the members of Pink Floyd plus friends, managers and lovers. The charismatic and brilliant lead guitarist of the early Pink Floyd, Syd created a unique psychedelic sound and wrote wonderfully eccentric songs including the hits 'Arnold Layne,' 'See Emily Play' and 'Bike.'
Syd Barrett left Pink Floyd in 1968 when his increasingly erratic behavior made his continued participation in the band impossible.
