Classic Albums Live: Pink Floyd

Wish You Were Here

Classic Albums Live and its roster of A-list musicians from across the country will be performing rock favourites exactly as you remember hearing them, note for note, cut for cut.

Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 12 September 1975 through Harvest Records and Columbia Records. Based on material Pink Floyd composed while performing in Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded over numerous sessions throughout 1975 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London. In Britain the album debuted at number three and reached number one the following week. Demand was such that EMI informed retailers that only half of their orders would be fulfilled. With 900,000 advance orders (the largest for any Columbia release) it reached number one on the US Billboard chart in its second week. Wish You Were Here was Pink Floyd’s fastest-selling album ever. The album was certified Silver and Gold (60,000 and 100,000 sales respectively) in the UK on 1 August 1975, and Gold in the US on 17 September 1975. The album features “Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pts 1 – 5”, “Have a Cigar”, and “Wish You Were Here”.
