RICK WHITE - Syd Barrett tribute (2006)

by Rick White Archive

supported by

Christian Mumford true that people make untrue statements about Syd Barrett that huutt him or his reputation, but this Rick White show does his memory justice. also people into the recordings get the references in song intros. Favorite track: LET'S SPLIT.

obure Rick White is easily the most wondrous Canadian musician who put songs out on the SubPop label. His rock 'n roll mastery is evident Favorite track: MATILDA MOTHER.

about

The first Sappyfest happened in 2006. On friday night, August 4th, Eric's Trip played at the nice little Vogue theater, and before we played, there were opening sets by Moonsocket, Julie Doiron, Snailhouse and Me. Syd Barrett had died less than a month earlier on July 7th and i performed a whole set of his songs a week later for a tribute night at the Silver Dollar in Toronto. I enjoyed playing the tunes and since i was still well rehearsed, i decided i would play a similar set for this Sappy performance too.

It was a really nice night with many good friends and my set was nicely recorded by Keltie Harding (thanks Keltie!). You can hear Mark Gaudet sitting out front and singing along with parts and doing some sound effects. I even did Syd's wacky unfinished tune "Let's Split" which was more of an acting performance than musical. Ha. Anyhow, the whole show's a fun listen, i hope you enjoy it and it helps you remember some of that first Sappyfest's magic. It does for me.

Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days. tideracer
