Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Live at Wembley

[@danielk9067]

What’s really special is that this performance was before Wish You Were Here was released, so probably nobody in the audience had ever heard this song before. And they absolutely went nuts for it, as they should; it’s a fundamentally incredible work of art.

I was at one these Concerts at the " Wembley Empire Pool " as it was called back then, and they were stunning. The first half of the show started with this early version of " Shine On ", plus " You gotta be Crazy " and " Raving and Drooling " which we all now know as " Dogs" and " Sheep ".....Second half of the show was an updated " Dark Side of the Moon " complete with the now famous large circular back screen showing various clips throughout the performance. So glad to hear tracks like this from SO long ago in 1974. Still got my Programme and Tickets from the Concerts, and will stay with me forever, methinks......Shine On Indeed.....

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond. Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond. You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, Blown on the steel breeze. Come on you target for faraway laughter, Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine! You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, Rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions, Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

[@TheWoodstockWarrior]

I discovered this gem in my local library. I like this live version of “Shine on You Crazy Diamond” even more than the album cut. It’s dreamy to hear the song done in one piece. Richard Wright takes it to a whole new level. This song was the first song in a live concert Pink Floyd did in 1974. Other songs include early versions from Animals, “Raving and Drooling” and “You Got to be Crazy”. The 2nd half of the concert includes “DSOTM”, and an awesome live version of “Echoes”. If you are a lifelong fan of Pink Floyd like me, then you will want to kick back and listen to the whole concert. This is Pink Floyd in their prime. I say that as an old man who had the good fortune of seeing Pink Floyd live seven times, four times with Roger Waters.

That Uni Vibe effect on those opening Arpeggios in Shine On was a studio mistake that Waters insisted that Gilmour kept in and didn’t change or correct. Pink Floyd were a remarkable band. I seen them in 88,89, 90 and 94. But alas without Waters. But I’m glad to say that they were my first live experience.

[@erikarabie]

I can never tell the difference between Uni-vibe and phase shifter

[@byrondean]

​​@@erikarabie They definitely have similiar tonal characteristics on slower settings that can hard to distinguish. On faster settings, the Uni-Vibe sweep tends to be a little more pronounced. Best examples I can think of: Uni-Vibe Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun Robin Trower - Bridge Of Sighs Phaser - Rush - The Necromancer Van Halen - Eruption ( slower setting )

Many many people consider Nick Mason a 'meh' drummer. Reason? There aren't enough recordings from their mid to late 70s. I love this recording.

[@KzK-ny5kh]

Fully agree. Especially from 17.11 to the end of the song. Absolutely brilliant drumming ,

Nick Mason is a lot like Ringo Starr. He was never flashy or wild on the kit, but he was always able to deliver the perfect groove the song demanded. A lot of people don't realize that being a decent drummer is the hardest part of playing the drums.

[@das_it_mane]

@ right! Idk what ppl want. Is he supposed to try to overpower David's solos and just clash with the sound? He seems chill playing later on but on the original Pompeii recording, you see Mason get after it and can appreciate his talent

[@newusernamehere4772]

Nick Mason is actually such a good drummer that nobody knows how good of a drummer he is. Minimalist and egoless not because he can't not be, but because that's what the situation calls for. Dude could probably beat the shit out of his drums with 32nd note hits but he's wise enough not to. The warrior who keeps his weapons sheathed.

So this performance is from a concert 6 months *prior* to them recording the track for the Wish You Were Here album?? It's fascinating to hear the track in its development stage, albeit an advanced one here. All the tempo and time signature changes (the basic rhythm track) of the album version are present here. What's still to be developed further is the fabulous album version of Part 8, where Rick Wright runs riot on the synths and clavinet - duelling and trading riffs with a frienzied Gilmour. Here, part 8 is a more laid-back jam with sustained Hammond organ parts and subdued licks from Gilmour. There are some comments below about the vocals - I think they are great in this performance. Raw and heartfelt!
