Watch Pink Floyd in Color Performing on "American Bandstand" in 1967

There are some people in this world that do incredible amounts of work for little or no acclaim. That is what has happened here.

A Swedish artist, Alex Stubbe Teglbjaerg, known as "Artist on the Border" has recolored an early Floyd performance from American Bandstand. The performance took place in 1967, the same year the band released the single "Apples and Oranges". You can find the song on the 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

What makes this video interesting is the fact that it was originally filmed and released in black & white. You can see some painstaking work done here where it can now be viewed in color. Truth be told, however, this isn't the most compelling part of the video. Obviously, with Bandstand, the performances were prerecorded. I think the most fascinating part of the recording is to watch Syd Barrett. He is not only putting little to no effort into the lip syncing, but he just looks ghostlike. Strange. Disturbing. But, 100% Syd.
