“Wish You Were Here”

“Wish You Were Here” – Bio

Pink Floyd
Released September 12, 1975
English rock band formed in London, that achieved international acclaim with their progressive and psychedelic music. Distinguished by their use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, extended compositions and elaborate live shows, they are one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in the history of popular music.

“Wish You Were Here” – Tribute

“Wish You Were Here” is the ninth studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd, and “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is a tribute to Syd Barrett.

Roger Waters stated that “[he was] very sad about Syd. Of course he was important and the band would never have started without him because he was writing all the material.

It couldn’t have happened without him but on the other hand it couldn’t have gone on with him.”

“Wish You Were Here” – Live 8 Reunion

On 2 July 2005, Waters, Gilmour, Mason and Wright performed together as Pink Floyd for the first time in more than 24 years, at the Live 8 concert in London’s Hyde Park.

At the beginning of their performance, Waters told the audience:

[It is] quite emotional, standing up here with these three guys after all these years, standing to be counted with the rest of you … we’re doing this for everyone who’s not here, and particularly of course for Syd.

Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (live 8 – 2005)

Un 2 de Julio de 2005, se reunió con sus ex compañeros de Pink Floyd para el concierto benéfico Live 8, la única aparición de Roger Waters con la banda desde su última actuación hacía 24 años.

“There’s Someone In My Head”

“There’s Someone In My Head”

Roger Keith “Syd” Barrett
Born January 6, 1946 – Died July 7, 2006)
British musician, composer, singer-songwriter, painter, founder member of the band Pink Floyd.

“There’s Someone In My Head” – Drugs and Schizophrenia.

Through late 1967 and early 1968, Barrett’s behaviour became increasingly erratic and unpredictable, partly as a consequence of his reported heavy use of psychedelic drugs, most prominently LSD. There is also much speculation that he suffered from schizophrenia.

In December 1967, the group added guitarist David Gilmour as the fifth member of Pink Floyd. Gilmour already knew Barrett, having studied with him at Cambridge Tech in the early 1960s.

Working with Barrett eventually proved too difficult, and matters came to a conclusion in January while en route to a performance in Southampton when a band member asked if they should collect Barrett.

According to David Gilmour, the answer was “Nah, let’s not bother.” This signaled the end of Barrett’s tenure with Pink Floyd.

“There’s Someone In My Head” – “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”

One of the more notable events during the recording of “Wish You Were Here” occurred on June 5, 1975. The band were in the process of completing the final mix of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” when an overweight man with shaven head and eyebrows, and holding a plastic bag, entered the room.

Roger Waters, who was working in the studio, initially did not recognise him. Richard Wright was also mystified by the identity of the visitor, presumed he was a friend of Waters’ and asked him, but soon realised that it was Syd Barrett. David Gilmour initially presumed he was an EMI staff member. Nick Mason also failed to recognise him and was “horrified” when Gilmour identified him.
