"Wish You Were Here" von Pink Floyd erschien im Jahr 1975. Es ist ein Konzeptalbum, das noch heute mit seinen großartigen Klangwelten, dem aufwändigen Produktionsprozess und einer spannenden Entstehungsgeschichte beeindruckt. Thematisch geht es um Verlust, Entfremdung, Wiederannäherung und um die Kritik am seelenlosen Musikbusiness. Obwohl die Urteile zum Album erstmal nicht so positiv waren, führte es nach seiner Veröffentlichung europaweit die Charts an und wurde in den USA und Großbritannien mit Gold ausgezeichnet. "Wish You Were Here" ist der Nachfolger des Erfolgsalbums "The Dark Side Of The Moon". Kein Wunder, dass sie während der Aufnahmen in den berühmten Abbey Road Studios unter sehr großem Druck standen. Meilensteine Redakteur Stephan Fahrig erklärt dazu, dass Pink Floyd zu Beginn erst mal gar nichts hinbekommen haben. Sie waren noch ziemlich müde, uninspiriert und haben sich oft gestritten. Sänger Roger Waters hatte schließlich die Idee, ein weiteres Konzeptalbum zu erschaffen. Einige Songs wurden dem ehemaligen Mitbegründer Syd Barrett gewidmet, der Pink Floyd 1968 wegen psychischer Probleme verlassen musste. Apropos Syd Barrett: Der erste und letzte Song des Albums, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", ist eine Hommage an den 2006 verstorbenen Sänger und Gitarristen. Während der Aufnahme spielte sich eine ziemlich tragische Begebenheit ab. Barrett erschien eines Tages im Studio, doch die Band erkannte ihn zunächst nicht. Er hatte sich den Kopf und die Augenbrauen abrasiert und wirkte völlig verändert. Der Moment war zutiefst emotional; Roger Waters und David Gilmour brachen sogar in Tränen aus. Zu dieser Zeit kämpfte Barrett bereits stark mit seinen psychischen Problemen, die durch seinen LSD-Konsum noch verschärft wurden. "Wish You Were Here" hat Pink Floyd auf eine ganz neue Entwicklungsebene gebracht. Die Band entfernte sich ein Stück weit von den Synthesizerflächen und näherte sich dem rockigeren Sound an, den wir später auf "The Wall" hören sollten. Gleichzeitig besitzt das Album eine zeitlose Klangästhetik, was es bis heute so faszinierend und beliebt macht. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Wish You Were Here" wird im Podcast gesprochen (19:30) – "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"(46:50) – "Welcome To The Machine"(53:00) – "Have A Cigar"(01:04:33) – "Wish You Were Here" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: https://1.ard.de/pink-floyd-wish-you-were-here __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Há cinquenta anos o Pink Floyd lançava Wish You Were Here, assunto do nosso papo de hoje. Gravado após o sucesso estrondoso de The Dark Side of the Moon, o disco é um mergulho profundo em temas de ausência, alienação e saudade — especialmente a de Syd Barrett, o membro fundador cuja sombra ainda pairava sobre a banda.

In this episode of Fingal's Cave, host Ian Priston talks with Steve Anderson - creator of the iconic Floydboots website, visited over a million times by collectors, and author of the 2024 book Wizardo: Stories of a Bootlegger.Steve reflects on five decades of Pink Floyd: from being a 12-year-old at Wembley Empire Pool in November 1974 and the heartbreak of his prized Stoke bootleg being broken - to the challenge of hunting down and thrill of listening to rare titles. He recalls leaving home at 3am from Knebworth 1975, the ferocity and spectacle of the Animals tour, the monumental experience of The Wall shows, and meeting the band at the premiere of The Wall film.Steve also shares two extraordinary encounters with Syd Barrett in the 1990s - fleeting but unforgettable glimpses of the band's elusive founding genius. Along the way, he discusses Barrett superfan the late Bernard White, the legacy of John Wizardo, his adventures as a record dealer, and the time he was offered Roger Waters' Live at Pompeii bass. It is a fascinating story of how a lifetime can be shaped by music, soundtracked by Pink Floyd. This episode is in stereo - because, well, it just had to be. And if you think you hear a fly buzzing, dogs wanting attention, or even church bells chiming in the distance… you are not imagining things. Consider them accidental Pink Floyd–style sound effects.Subscribe to Fingal's Cave for more journeys to the edges of Pink Floyd music history.
In this lively episode of Mark and Pete, the duo tackle three curious tales from the worlds of culture, politics, and everyday life. First up: the passing of Ronnie Rondell Jnr, the Hollywood stuntman who made others famous while remaining largely unknown. From being set alight on the cover of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here to crashing through scenes in Batman and Robin and The Mighty Ducks, his life sparks reflection on the unsung heroes who risk everything but rarely get the applause. Next, the Tesco Meal Deal — a staple of students and low-income workers alike — has crept up in price once again. That 25p rise may sound small, but it's a big bite out of already-stretched budgets. Mark and Pete chew over what this means for ordinary folk, and whether it's time to rediscover thriftier ways of feeding body and soul. Finally, we turn to the world of politics and pixels: Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and Volodymyr Zelensky appeared in a viral “Oval Office” photo looking like schoolboys in trouble — until the phantom foot gave away its AI origins. What happens when fake images shape real perceptions?

It's hard to imagine being in Pink Floyd in 1975. 1973's Dark Side of the Moon had not only achieved high praise from the critics but had sold better than most any album ever recorded. Nick Mason, Rick Wright, Roger Waters and David Gilmour had soared to extraordinary heights thanks to their balance of technological experimentation, their examination of modern capitalistic life and Waters' biting lyrics. They had plenty of money and adoring fans. The only worry was what to do next. For months they noodled around Abbey Road Studios (EMI Studio at the time) trying to find new inspiration; apparently while they drank each other under the table. Engineers and producers were sacked in an attempt to capture their greatness and harness all the capabilities of the latest available technology. Out of that came Wish You Were Here - an album that may not receive the praise (or sales) of Dark Side or The Wall but is perhaps their most listenable effort of the 1970s and a favorite among Gilmour and Wright. The very progressive and Floydian suite Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-5 start the album by creating an atmosphere of awe and wonder. Waters lyrics describe their former bandmate Syd Barrett; their former leader who had lost a battle with his own schizophrenia which led to the boys not encountering him for 7 years. However, in an odd twist of fate Syd made it to EMI during the mixing of the album with a shaved head, shaved eyebrows and weighing more than double than when they'd last seen him. It all adds to the mystery and legacy of Syd and Pink Floyd. Before the 6-9 suite of Crazy Diamond, we are treated to some wonderful Pink Floyd classics. Welcome to the Machine offers mechanical noises and dismal lyrics to not only warn of but welcome the new entries into the military industrial complex. The acoustic Wish You Were Here is a sweet yet remorseful song about lost friendship and the unfortunate changes that come with growing up and growing old. Have A Cigar is a very cheeky view of the music business but as neither Waters or Gilmour could quite pull off the right tone, they employed old friend Roy Harper to provide the vocals. All three are classic rock staples and songs the band would perform together and as solo artists throughout their careers. Often overlooked compared to the other Floyd output of the 1970s, we find this has aged well, is still very listenable and is as poignant as ever 50 years later.

In this episode of the Fingal's Cave Podcast, host Nils Zehnpfennig and guests Mike McCartney, Joe Krist and special guest Bjorn Riis from Gilmourish.com celebrate 40 years of David Gilmour's live performances.We begin by exploring Bjorn's musical background and the influence of Gilmour, Pink Floyd, and other bands on his sound. We then trace the evolution of Gilmour's tone, gear and style throughout his solo career and his time with Pink Floyd from 1968 to 1994.We start the discussion with Gilmour's 1978 debut and his decision not to tour. We then take an in-depth look at the About Face tour in 1984 and reflect on the chaotic Ecomundo show in Colombia in 1992.We also revisit the acclaimed On an Island tour of 2006, discussing the stellar band, the wonderful set list, and the unforgettable performance of 'Echoes'.A decade later, Gilmour returned with Rattle That Lock. We explore the differences between that tour and the one in 2006, including the surprise mid-tour line-up changes, and we discuss the somewhat underwhelming Pompeii shows in 2016.Finally, we talk about his latest album, Luck and Strange, and the short tour that followed. We also reflect on his four decades of live music and celebrate a legendary career that continues to inspire many of us.
Radiohead's second album The Bends was released on the 13th March, 1995 and exactly 30 years later Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy interviewed producer John Leckie on the story behind the album at an event at The British Library. The interview was followed by an uninterrupted vinyl playback of the full album on British audio brand Bowers & Wilkins' iconic 800 Series loudspeakers, which were used in the mixing of The Bends at Abbey Road Studios. The Bends is generally considered to show the remarkable evolution of their sound, which soon made them one of the most acclaimed bands in the world. With a healthy dose of the guitar rock and melancholic pop that characterised breakthrough single “Creep”, it also features beautiful ballads, a new range to Thom Yorke's voice, blistering riffs and solos from Jonny Greenwood and multiple acoustic treats.It was produced by John Leckie, one of the most important and distinctive producers in British music. John Leckie has had an extraordinary career. His early career at Abbey Road Studios, saw him working with John Lennon and George Harrison and then as an engineer for Pink Floyd's Meddle and Wish You Were Here and Paul McCartney and Wings' Red Rose Speedway. Among much else he then produced Public Image Ltd debut single, a brilliant early sweep of albums by Simple Minds, The Stone Roses, Muse and many others.
"Wish You Were Here" ist eine Liebeserklärung an den Ex-Pink-Floyd-Gitarristen Syd Barrett. Roland erzählt, was der Parkplatz der Abbey Road Studios mit der Aufnahme zu tun hat - und bringt ein wunderschönes Cover mit.

#1 New York Times bestselling author, Jodi Picoult, spoke with me about writing for Wonder Woman, adapting books for musical theater, and the question of Shakespeare's true authorship in her upcoming novel BY ANY OTHER NAME. Jodi Picoult is the bestselling author of 30 novels, including landmark titles such as Mad Honey – her most recent 1 million-copy bestseller – Wish You Were Here, A Spark of Light, and Small Great Things. 40 million copies of her books are in print worldwide and have been translated into 34 languages. Her forthcoming novel is BY ANY OTHER NAME (on sale 8/20; Ballantine), described as a novel about two women, centuries apart – one of whom is the real author of Shakespeare's plays – who are both forced to hide behind another name. #1 New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah said of the book, “You'll fall in love with Emilia Bassano, the unforgettable heroine based on a real woman that Picoult brings vividly to life in her brilliantly researched new novel.” Elle called it, “[An] inspiring work of feminist literature inspired by real historical accounts.” Jodi was also co-librettist for the stage musical adaptation of her young adult novel Between the Lines (which premiered Off-Broadway in Summer 2022), the co-librettist of the musical BREATHE, the co-librettist of the musical adaptation of The Book Thief, and she is currently at work on an adaptation of Austenland.

50 years ago this month -- June 5, 1975 -- Pink Floyd were in the studio working on a new song for the next album -- a long, epic song written in honour of their former leader and principal songwriter, Syd Barrett, who had been estranged from the band for years. And as they worked in the studio, they noticed an unfamiliar figure standing in the control room. To their shock, they suddenly realized that it was the very man the song was about, who somehow showed up that very day, uninvited. Randy Renaud revisits the bizarre tale of the recording of Shine On You Crazy Diamond for the latest edition of the Chronicles of Rock.

For many of us who grew up in the the 90s, Julia Stiles was an integral part of our coming of age. Her portrayal of the clever, acerbic Kat in 10 Things I Hate About You was a radical reinvention of the blonde teenage female rom-com lead. Her roles in Save The Last Dance and Mona Lisa Smile spoke to our adolescent feminist awakenings and catapulted Stiles to stardom. And, just like the heroines she played, Stiles chose to do things a bit differently. At the height of her teenage fame, she went to study English at Columbia University, continuing to act throughout her degree, most notably in the first of four Jason Bourne films. Her latest project is her directorial debut - the feature film, Wish You Were Here, which Stiles also produced and co-wrote. As a mother of three, Stiles said that her parenting informed her ability to direct.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the start of the North America tour in 1975, we present a new and exciting episode of the Fingal's Cave podcast.In more than 2 hours we discuss Pink Floyd's so-called transition period between 1974 and 1975, often derided as the band's creative low point.But even though there were many late decisions, sound problems, mishaps and - to be frank - a certain amount of laziness, these three tours, which started in Colmar (France) on 22nd June and ended in Knebworth (UK) on 5th July, offered plenty to talk about. From one of the finest Dark Side of the Moon shows in Bristol to a total disaster in Knebworth, Pink Floyd went through a rollercoaster ride in these 380 days, defining their own future by road-testing new material and setting the stage (no pun intended) with stunning new visuals, including the birth of Mr. Screen.After several weeks of preparation, we are proud to bring you an in-depth chat that even the dedicated Pink Floyd fan will learn something from, we promise!Our yt-channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Fingals_Cave_PodcastMost important shows:1974-06-22 Colmar (tour start)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AFkERLrJQU1974-11-19 Stoke on Trent (British Winter Tour 74 bootleg)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F2-bSdNHTY1974-12-14 Bristol (Best Dark Side Set)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlFm7s-Gypc1975-04-26 Los Angeles (Millard recording)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4clpGEnZz0o1975-06-09 Landover (Best ‘75 Dark Side Set)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8iLvc72N1w1975-06-17 Uniondale (Great show)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPzaR1PcUDI1975-06-28 Hamilton (Superb recording)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAR5x2LGHO0Videos:1975-04-27 Los Angeles (8mm)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NYLy9NqlAY1975-06-09 Landover (8mm)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH1mGiSmbRk1975-06-26 Montreal (8mm)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb7lxh_9eOk1975-06-28 Hamilton (8mm)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSXZMFq_Msk1975-07-05 Knebworth (video)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Oi5BCXeV4A

LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the iconic and massively prolific actor and director JULIA STILES! A really lovely episode where we find Julia on top form, with a perfect balance of funny and emotional (with a beautiful reaction to being informed of her demise, as show tradition dictates). Julia's been putting in serious work through the years, not least with 'Wish You Were Here', which she directed and goes into detail on. Of course she and Brett go into all sorts of terrain, including said film direction and being a driver as opposed to passenger, behind the scenes process, not being all the way out in the open, line readings ("Just do it happier!"), doing your own stunts at a younger age, growing up in New York, and good old fashioned fronting. Wonderful. ENJOY! Oh - stick around for added voicenotes at the end...

In today's episode we talk about a very special time for Pink Floyd between 1978 -1981 and the staging of THE WALL live shows. This would be the last time until 2005 where the main four members played live as a band, so it is an important, if melancholic period.Together with Kyle and Phil (Salathé) we discuss the circumstances surrounding the album THE WALL, the so-called ‘Performance Manuscript' and of course many shows from the tour itself. In particular we discuss the tour rehearsals, the start of the tour in Los Angeles on February 7th 1980, the video recordings of the concert in New York at the Nassau Coliseum, in London at Earl's Court, and of course about the great shows in Dortmund, a typical German city in the middle of the Ruhr area. We also take a brief look at the last run of wall shows in June of 1981.In a little more than 2 hours you will learn many insights, mishaps, surprises and hopefully yet unknown things about the Wall live!Credit goes to RarePinkFloyd for providing research materials for this episode.

LA City Councilmember Traci Park represents Pacific Palisades and has introduced a suite of legislation to respond to last week’s devastating wildfires and protect affected residents. In President Biden’s farewell speech, he listed his administration’s accomplishments and echoed another president when it came to a “tech industrial complex.” Critics review the latest film releases: “One of Them Days,” “Wolf Man,” “I'm Still Here,” and “Wish You Were Here.” Filmmaker David Lynch was known for an unconventional approach and non-linear storytelling. His name was used as an adjective — Lynchian — to express surreal normalcy. He died today at age 78.
Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars and move directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Sometimes we are lucky enough to even speak with them about their work. And sometimes, they are both a movie star and a movie director. Today that's Julia Stiles, director of Wish You Were Here, now in theaters and available digitally on February 4th. Our B-Sides today include O, The Business of Strangers, and It's a Disaster. Stiles discusses the filmmakers she's worked with in the past and how they influenced her decisions sitting in the director's chair (the best ones “set a tone of calmness” she says), making friends on the South Carolina set of O, and becoming more intentional with the creative choices in her career (including auditioning for Silver Linings Playbook). We also chat about Wish You Were Here, her feature debut as a filmmaker. Stiles mentions guarding against the saccharine to tell “a mature love story.” There's also considerable praise of lead actress Isabelle Fuhrman and her incredible range, as well as a story about calling filmmaker Doug Liman for sailing advice. Speaking of Liman, Dan and Conor take a moment to unpack Nicky Parsons from the Bourne franchise, the efforts(?) of Tony Gilroy, and a crucial line read in Ultimatum that adds so much depth to Stiles' role. Finally, we cover how exactly Stiles got the great Vanessa Carlton and her partner John McCauley to do the score to her film. Early 2000s icons unite! And there is a brief, insightful conversation on why exactly Stiles chose to do all of those Shakespeare adaptations early on in her career.

The latest film releases include One of Them Days, Wolf Man, I'm Still Here, and Wish You Were Here. Weighing in are Alison Willmore, a film critic for New York Magazine and Vulture, and Witney Seibold, senior staff writer at SlashFilm and co-host of the podcast Critically Acclaimed.
Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy look at eight new movies this week including a unique documentary that combines a video game with Shakespeare (Grand Theft Hamlet). Julia Stiles makes her directorial debut with a romantic weepie (Wish You Were Here) and a locksmith goes on a wild evening (Night Call). Scott Eastwood and Willa Fitzgerald play spies who go off the grid and are sucked back into duty (Alarum) while Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz play spies who go off the grid and are sucked back into duty (Back in Action). There is the tale of the newsroom covering the terrorist attack at the 1972 Olympics (September 5) and a raunchy hangout film with Keke Palmer and SZA (One Of Them Days). Finally, Leigh Whannell continues the alterna-Dark Universe with a new take on a classic Universal monster (Wolf Man). 0:00 - Intro 1:02 - Grand Theft Hamlet 10:01 - Wish You Were Here 17:08 - Night Call 22:38 - Alarum 29:58 - Back In Action 42:07 - September 5 52:31 - One of Them Days 1:00:30 - Wolf Man 1:18:39 - Outro
Now that Julia Stiles has directed her first feature film, Wish You Were Here, she sees the work of directors in a whole new light. “I almost wanted to call some directors that I had worked with and be like, ‘I'm so sorry that I was annoyed with you when you told me to do that thing.'” Best known for acting, when she read the novel the film is based on, she knew she needed to adapt it. “The book broke my heart but also made me laugh. It felt like it had such a good spirit to it, and I'm a romantic at heart.” The film follows a young woman swept up in a new romance only to learn he's terminally ill. While she says she ran “in the other direction” of making the film too saccharine, she didn't let that cynical voice fully take over. “There is something really important about showing how much this girl takes care of him, and that it's okay to be kind and loving toward another person.” And now she says adding director to her credits has made her a better actor. “I think I realized that if you trust your director, and I mean really trust that person and believe in their vision, you can throw spaghetti against the wall and see what sticks.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It took a while for Pink Floyd to regain their focus but, when they did, it eventually resulted in the 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. One of the most popular and well-known albums in the world, it shot the band to a level of stardom they previously failed to achieve. After a long tour, a long recording session and Roger Waters coming more to the forefront of the band, Wish You Were Here was released in 1975. Partially a tribute to Syd Barrett, partially a warning about the music industry, it gives their previous album quite a challenge for the best in the group's catalog.
