This is the original Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett on guitar and vocals. They play the song much like they later would on the Piper at the Gates of Dawn album. This means it's a little mellower and trippier than it would become with David Gilmour ripping into the solo the way he did.

Trolling the Underground: Astronomy Domine
I recently found this online in DVD format, and transferred it to .avi just for you. Here is Pink Floyd's very first television appearance, recorded on May 14, 1967 for the Look of the Week program. Evidently, they also did Pow R Toc H and an interview but this was captured during a re-broadcast and those two parts didn't make the cut. The transfer seems to have heightened the contrast in the picture a little - I'll have to work on that for future posts.

Freaking AWESOME!! Thanks for this!
And, yes, you're right about Gilmour, but I still like the way he rips into the solo.
Oh, no slight to Gilmour intended. I like the Barrett stuff to be certain, but they would not have reached the heights they did with him. Gilmour would shred on this song.
Cool - This is from ABC TV archives - Australia - From Mr.Butler to Me in late 80's - Then I transferred to DVD.
The Timecode and dots on the screen are sort of unique.
The contrast being high is a good thing as this is such a common clip in PF circles it's nice to see different sources.
Thanks for using my source! :)
