I do not. I saw the screenshot from on Steve Hoffman forums. I’ll delete the link to not cause trouble here. Sorry!

[Skinny12]

I am sorry, but please do...this creates unnecessary trouble...you can add a link to the forum though...

Wow... that shot of Syd strumming (or at least holding) a guitar in 1975. Wonder what he could've been playing.

And the look in his face when Roger's playing something is precious!

Amazing to see a much jollier looking shot from the 5-man Floyd session too.

Can't believe this movie is not yet available to stream on demand. What's the holdup?

[Skinny12]

In Germany we have fundings from the government which come with specific rules like no DVD before 6 months after the cinematic release…maybe it’s something like that…

[DaveTheRave]

Okay if you have a VPN, set it for Belgium. Do a search for “VRT Canva”. It’s a local streaming website. Make a free account and you can watch it right now for free. Starting it now!

Thanks! On it

WOW!
I've never heard it mentioned that Syd stuck around and even played guitar?
This is amazing news to me.

Great movie. Roger’s reaction to Dark Globe’s lyrics and Pete Townsend’s description of Syd’s speaker setups were amusing. I felt bad for Syd’s sister who got emotional at the end. And Syd was engaged - who knew? The in memoriam section after the credits was sad, too. So many people who contributed memories to the film are already gone. Some of the interviews were probably pre-COVID.

Just watched it and it was mentioned that what he played was really nothing in particular.

that's what I heard too but who knows ?
So this is not a video footage but photographs ? apparently in the documentary he says that he had a specific film-stock hence the heavy grain for the photos in the darkness (the other photo is well-known from Nick Mason's book)
So if there was the See Emily Play funeral dirge on Shine On pt 6-9 that means that Syd was there during the final mix of the album because the one piece "Shine On" from the extraction tapes has no guitar solo intro and ends with the unedited funky jam part.
And I'm not that surprised that Syd did not recognize See Emily Play; I can hear these notes too in the end, but they were not supposed to be recognizable immediately.
I don't think that I realized that the first time that I discovered the album Wish You Were Here.
Even John Lennon had some bad memories recognized some of his own songs. Or was it nonchalance or half-truth.
I'm sure that it was not easy for someone who was ill like Syd to read the lyrics, knowing this song was about him and the fact that he was "out there" does not mean that he could be half-joking or being sarcastic even though some people could prefer to believe that it was a "nowhere man".
