If you love the album, this is a must! - Pink Floyd: The Story of Wish You Were Here review by KW
I've loved 'Wish You Were Here' as long as I can remember, so it was great to understand a bit more about where it came from and how it was all put together. Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters are articulate and engaging in their presentation so the hour soon whizzes by.
My only moan is the teaser of those iconic 4 notes which never does become a playing of the whole track at the outset of the album. This would have been a great way to finish off the whole story. Of course, you can then go and listen to it in whatever way you listen to your music.....
Enjoy this documentary - we did!
