Hoje, em 1975, enquanto os Pink Floyd estavam em Abbey Road a gravar o seu nono álbum de estúdio 'Wish You Were Here', receberam a visita inesperada de Syd Barrett, coincidentemente no momento em que o grupo estava a gravar o tema "Shine On You Crazy Diamond ', que era um tributo a Barrett, que apesar de ter sido um membro muito importante dos Pink Floyd, nessa época já não integrava o grupo devido a graves problemas de saúde e drogas.

Today, in 1975, while Pink Floyd were in Abbey Road recording their ninth studio album 'Wish You Were Here', received the unexpected visit from Syd Barrett, coincidentally at the time the group was recording the theme "Shine on You Crazy Diamond ', which was a tribute to Barrett, who despite having been a very important member of Pink Floyd, at that time no longer was part of the group due to serious health and drug problems.

 David Gilmour, Pink Floyd - A Great Day For Freedom

"There was a wonderful moment of optimism when the Wall came down – the release of Eastern Europe from the non-democratic side of the socialist system. But what they have now doesn't seem to be much better. Again, I'm fairly pessimistic about it all. I sort of wish and live in hope, but I tend to think that history moves at a much slower pace than we think it does. I feel that real change takes a long, long time."

David Gilmour, "Sounds of Silence" interview, Guitar World, September 1994.
