  Syd Barrett was the main mentor of the space sound that Pink Floyd produced in the first years of their career in the 60's. With Barrett the band recorded a few singles and also the album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn in 1967 an absolute classic of British psychedelic rock. After leaving Pink Floyd he still recorded two solo albums: The Madcap Laughs and Barrett both released in 1970. A compilation of studio outtakes Opel was released in 1988. Violeta de Outono appeared in the 80's amid a great wave of Brazilian rock. With an accomplished 60's-styled psychedelic sound and remarkable compositions Violeta de Outono quickly became a cult band in Brazil. In their shows they always included classics of psychedelic rock as well as songs by Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd which were always requested by the band's faithful followers.Through the years the group considered the idea of performing a tribute re-visiting Syd Barrett's work. Several shows were booked in 2006 where Violeta de Outono played most of Syd's classics including the outer-space trip of Interstellar Overdrive the oniric world of Matilda Mother and Flaming as well as the enigmatic songs from the solo albums The Madcap Laughs and Barrett. This DVD documents a performance by Violeta de Outono paying tribute in an absolutely competent and inspired manner to the creative genius of Syd Barrett a true exercise in psychedelia that shows how influential Syd's work still is. This performance was recorded on the last night of the tour (17/07/2006) at the SESI Theatre in So Paulo. Coincidentally a few days before this performance came the news of Syd's passing which turned the event into a historical and emotional experience not only for Syd's fans but also for the musicians in Violeta de Outono.
