MISC: FILM: HAVE YOU GOT IT YET? By the time I’d heard of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett had been out of the band for nearly a decade. The band that I knew was the Roger Waters/David Gilmour-fronted band that made “Another Brick in the Wall,” “Money” and “Shine on You Crazy Diamond”—not the eccentric, hallucinatory Floyd led by the troubled, but enormously gifted Barrett, one of psychedelic rock’s foremost architects. Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, co-directed by Roddy Bogawa and the celebrated graphic designer Strom Thorgerson (who created most of Floyd’s iconic album covers, along with those of Peter Gabriel, Led Zeppelin and Muse), features footage of Barrett in his creative prime, as well as interviews with his Floyd bandmates and other musicians—Pete Townshend and Blur’s Graham Coxon, among others—who proudly claim this brilliant diamond in the rough as their inspiration. Thru 9/17, times vary, $10, the Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Geoff Carter
