Roy Harper somehow managed to craft an uncanny blend of Roger and David. It’s profoundly enigmatic how one isn’t sure which of them sang it, without the remote notion of anyone other than Roger or David. The inflections and snide ridicule evident are perfectly seamless and genuine. Astonishing.

I found an 8 track of Wish u Were Here walking home from school in 1976. When I got home I immediately inserted the aforementioned tape into my Panasonic TNT 8 track player. It changed everything for me. That one “tape” changed my understanding of music. I was 10 at the time. I honestly had no idea what I was listening to, but I knew it moved me. I knew that at 10 years old. Fast forward 50 years and I currently own 4 different versions of the album, several cd’s and a reel to reel copy in my collection. It continues to amaze me and I share it with anyone who will listen. I was fortunate enough to see a few Pink Floyd Tours. Also caught Roger Waters The Wall Tour several years ago. Thanks for the detailed insight into such an Epic Record. Took my right back to that day walking home from school. I’m actually about a quarter of a mile away from the very location as I type. Cheers, Dino

I saw Pink Floyd at Giants stadium in the mid-90s and the concert opened with “Shine on you crazy diamond.” The first chord played for a long time on a gradual fade in and fans in the stadium slowly started to notice it. Then just as it got loud enough for everyone to hear it, the lights went out and the stadium erupted in cheers. It was my first stadium concert and I’ll never forget it.

Roy Harper certainly did NOT come out of nowhere. He is one of the most respected musicians in the UK, cited by most major players as one of their favourite artists. You should try listening to "Stormcock" or "HQ" and you will realise what an amazing composer and poet he is.

I saw Gov’t Mule on New Year’s Eve, 2003 at the legendary Beacon Theater in NYC. They played Wish You Were Here as a tribute to their late founding bassist, the great Allen Woody, while home movies of him throughout his life played on video screens. I looked around and every single person in attendance was singing and many had tears streaming down their faces. It was one of the most moving communal experiences I’ve ever had and I’ll never forget it. R.I.P., Woody. Gone, but never to be forgotten. ❤️🤘🏼

The band's reverence for their fallen comrade is epic, literally, with their homage to him in multiple songs and albums. They were told by Syd's family that visiting him only made him more depressed but, even though he'd been cut out of the band for recording and performing, they continued to pay him, helping to take care of him.
@audiophileman7047

They only made sure that he received the royalties from the PF albums he appeared on, but David Gilmour did help Syd with his solo albums after he left PF. That also provided some income for him.
@elizabethmiller7138

I think this story confirms that it was Waters who spiked Syd. It was said "a friend" had secretly given LSD to Syd which triggered his psychosis. So much guilt is possibly for more than rudeness!
@Josephine_Mass
@Josephine_Mass 9 месяцев назад
Why was Syd cut out of recording? Nick was the only one who didn't contribute to his solo albums and that's because he wasn't good enough to keep up with Syd's abstract timing. Those were basically Floyd albums under a different name (of the man who both made and named their band) and the results were better than what Pink Floyd were making at the time. They sound like they could've been produced today. They even sound more like Pink Floyd did, then and later, Dark Side etc included. There are elements of More, OBC, Meddle, DSOTM, even The Wall in them. But he wasn't allowed to record with his own band? As PINK FLOYD?
@audiophileman7047
@audiophileman7047 9 месяцев назад
Syd had serious psychiatric problems. PF couldn't continue with him. At least David helped him record his solo albums to help him make money, and they ensured that he got his royalties from sales of the earlier albums he was on. When Syd passed away in 2006, he was worth over a million pounds sterling. The remaining members of the band were deeply saddened by what happened to Syd. They all knew him as youngsters. It was a very hard decision to let him go, but it was necessary. 😢@@Josephine_Mass

Beautiful place, right when we came out of the trees, and the lake came into view, those 4 notes hit hard. My son was 15 at the time and just discovering Pink Floyd as well as the Eagles. Those first 4 notes became the ringtone for me on his phone. A magic time for both of us. He took his own life 1 year later. I still love Wish You Were Here and Shine On.

Someone stole my WYWH album 40 years ago, but I still have the postcards that came with it. One has someone standing on their head (or hands) underwater so just their legs are sticking perfectly straight up. The other has 2 men shaking hands, but one is on fire and appears to be unbothered by the flames. I have a suggestion for a future show that I think would be interesting to young and old both, show some albums from the late 60s until early 80s that came with bonuses like posters, song lyric booklets, etc. Rolling Stones had a real zipper incorporated into the cover of "Sticky Fingers", which was an up close and personal photo of the crotch of a man (I assume it's Mick) wearing blue jeans (absolutely no question, it's a male!). Mom wouldn't let me buy it, so I _still_ never got to peek behind that zipper! I was told it was just tighty whities and nothing naughty. 😂 Just a show about the album art from the 60s and 70s would be interesting. As a teen I had a poster of Three Dog Night that came with the album (when there was only 3 of them). That poster freaked out my BFF because it looked like their eyes followed you no matter where you stood!😳 Records were expensive so we loved getting a lil sumpthin extra! I'll never forget the wonderful scent of fresh vinyl when we carefully sliced open the shrink wrap!☺

My best friend in high school was sporting his new copy of the album in about 1984. I remember hearing "Wish you were here" on his stereo record player, A song that he loved. He was killed a few years later in a tragic robbery gone bad. I still hold back tears when I hear it play. It's a great tune that I'm sure has brought a lot of reminiscent tears over the years!

Apart from the studio recording, my favourite version of Shine On is David Gilmour live in Gdansk. It was recorded live not long after Syd's death and is sung with such melancholy that it is heartbreaking. It was also the last time Rick Wright would perform it live before his death.

This is the best Pink Floyd album in my opinion. Dark Side of the Moon is great but is overplayed. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is the song that I would play to someone who never heard what Pink Floyd was about. Friends and I debate whether if Syd never exited the band would we have this iconic Pink Floyd sound today?

In 1977 I went to high school in Denmark. I was 19 years old and some friends introduced me to Pink Floyd. I had never heard of them before and it took me some time to recognize the greatness of the music, but soon I was involved in sitting and analyzing the lyrics of the album "Wish you were here". From there I discovered from behind, you could say, their entire production of records. I have never seen them live, but have been to Roger Waters' concert in Denmark three times.

They opened with a couple from Meddle, then they played the entire Dark Side album front to back, then they finished with an extra long version of Echos. To this day, it was hands down the best concert I've ever seen. And I've seen just about everybody in the last 50 years!!

I've always felt, personally, that David Gilmour is one of the greatest - if underrated - blues rock guitarists in history, and this is the album that showcases that. Also, when it comes to Roy Harper, I can't help but speculate if David ever thought about bringing him in full time after Roger left just to do more 'fill ins'.

I don't have anything to add to this wonderful story, but I wanted to tell you about my first Pink Floyd concert and how magical it was. I wanted to tell you because I think you are one of the very few who would understand. May 1977, Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. It was the Animals tour. We were there 2 hours early to get a good seat. It was raining. We sat in the rain, praying the concert wouldn't get canceled. Then, the rain stopped, a bit of evening sun peaked through the dark clouds, a rainbow appeared over and across the stage! While we gawked at this sight, we didn't see the band appear on stage and "Pigs on the Wing" began to play. And the sky went dark as the last bit of sun set and the rainbow winked out. 😮

I was a teenager and typical London male of those times, seeing all of the live acts from the early sixties onwards and being into the Floyd et al and idolising Syd (Roger is his birth name!) who was the creative driving force of the early band, even I admit to worshipping the post Syd music, Wish You Were Here is undoubtably an everlasting masterpiece. Roy Harper (and Ron Geeson) were unsung heroes of the day and more or less forgotten these days.
