Roger Waters said he had no desire to return to performing Pink Floyd’s early song ‘Interstellar Overdrive’, reflecting his view that the band’s original psychedelic period belonged to a different era. The comments underline how far Pink Floyd moved from its experimental beginnings towards the more structured, politically charged music associated with Waters’ later leadership.

Released in 1967 on Pink Floyd’s debut album, *The Piper at the Gates of Dawn*, ‘Interstellar Overdrive’ was an instrumental built around a riff devised by Syd Barrett and became a staple of the group’s early live sets. Waters acknowledged its historical place but suggested he would not want to revisit it, saying, “I wouldn’t want to go back.”
