Wish You Were Here turns 35 September 12….Wow. The long awaited follow up to one of rock n’ roll’s most successful albums–Dark Side Of The Moon relesed 2 and half years after DSOTM after an aborted project called Household Items. Paying tribute to founding member Syd Barrett,the band found themselves shocked when one day during recordings at Abbey Road,Syd,who hadn’t been seen in years showed up out of the blue totally unrecognizable,allegedly jumping up and down brushing his teeth. When asked what he thought about what they were recording,Syd made a parting quip and left back to Cambridge where he lived in obscurity til his death in 2006. Wish You Were Here has always been debated as the band’s best album…Certainly a favourite of Rick,Dave,Roger and Nick. Floydians all have their personal favourites,this is one of mine. The song clocks in at 13:44….Because of this,the song had to be edited so as much of the song as possible could be uploaded. I can’t wait for the day that Youtube increases their video time limit to a good 15 minutes. Sadly,that’ll probably never happen. The album is nothing new to most but if it’s new to you and you dig it,do yourself a favour and buy it…You won’t be able to stop listening to it. Cheers…. |
