Well, here it goes anyway.
The DVD is "The Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story (The Definitve Edition)". It's a 2 DVD set. In the first one you've got the John Edginton's documentary plus the Roger Waters' interview they used for the documentary in its full length. In the second DVD you've got the David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Robyn Hitchcock interviews in their full length plus an acoustic rendition of "Love You" by Graham Coxon.
The passage I was quoting is this:
Quote:
| Roger Waters: During the making of "WYWH", or around that time, is when I split up with my first wife and I remember in the canteen downstairs here in Abbey Road having an enourmous breakdown. That's the only way I can describe it though it was very short. I was sitting at the table downstairs having something to eat, in a bad mood, and suddenly everything "telescoped". Everything went round to the other side of the telescope and I thought "**** me! I'm mad! This is what it must be like". And suddenly reality changed completely. I remember that I got up the table and walked out of the room, I walked up the stairs, went into studio number 3 where we were working and sat down at the piano and I started playing the piano and over a period of about 5 minutes, I suppose, it came back, reality came back to me. Actually, the hands' thing, "my hands felt like two balloons", is from being delirious as a child but this "receeding" thing -"there is no pain you are receeding"- happened to me and it came back slowly as I sat to play the piano. But I remember thinking "Good God! This is a thin line I'm walking here", 'cause something happened in my brain that was very odd and it frightened me, it frightened the life out of me. |
