David Gilmour Talks About Wish You Were Here

The next phase of the WHY PINK FLOYD? campaign focuses on WISH YOU WERE HERE. In this video, David Gilmour talks about the release with Paul Rappaport, who visited David’s houseboat/recording studio, Astoria, for the conversation. Gilmour even takes a moment to play a little of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.“ Wish You Were Here ’Immersion’ 5-disc and ’Experience’ 2-disc editions both will include bonus material from the band’s 1974 Wembley dates, including a 20-minute tour de force live rendition of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,“ as well as a unique recording of “Wish You Were Here“ featuring the legendary jazz violinist, Stephane Grappelli. The long-awaited 5.1 version of Wish You Were Here, mixed by James Guthrie, will also be released in parallel via independent label Acoustic Sounds.
