Despite his brief career, Barrett's fragile, wistful songs influenced many musicians, from David Bowie — who covered the Barrett track "See Emily Play" — to the other members of Pink Floyd, who recorded the album "Wish You Were Here" as a tribute to their troubled bandmate...

Very Sad Day. Loss of a musical genius that had one foot in the line of madness also.

Bummer. I just now got back with their new Pulse DVD from Best Buy.

Thanks for the heads up Zurb. I'm gonna pick that up today myself.
God that was an amazing tour. I went to the Giant Stadium show.

BB is also giving out an exclusive "lithograph" when you buy this. I don't think they have that many of them so it might go fast and it's not part of the package so you have to ask for it. They had them at the register at the Best Buy I bought the DVD from. It's a little thing but it's nice and it's free.
