I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Pembroke College, University of Cambridge. May Ball 2009: Moonlight Masquerade. Title from Pink Floyd's track "Brain Damage" in the famous Dark Side of the Moon album.

 

Think Pink Floyd and think Syd Barrett. Think Syd Barrett and think Cambridge. Think Cambridge:-)

 

Syd Barrett was a founding member of Pink Floyd and the main man until 1968. He was a Cambridge lad. As were fellow Pink Floyd members David Gilmour and Roger Waters. Syd's impact on the band was massive. And that was even when he left due to mental illness. Many Pink Floyd tracks have references to Syd, including this well known track in Dark Side of the Moon (1973).
