Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) (13:40)
From 1977-01-23: Dortmund Westfalenhalle, Germany
Tribute to Syd Barrett, the legendary co-founder of Pink Floyd, who became a virtual recluse for almost 40 years up to his death in 2006 after mental health problems brought on by heavy LSD abuse.
Written by Roger Waters, Richard Wright and David Gilmour, the song is composed of 9 parts, and contains some wonderful atmospheric guitar from Gilmour. Floyd would typically begin their concert set with this song.
According to the band, Syd Barrett actually appeared at Abbey Road studios in 1975 while the Wish you Were Here album was being recorded. It was the last time any of the band members saw him.
