It appeared on Pink Floyd 's 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here . Contents 1 Background 2 Recording 3 Barrett incident 4 Composition 4.1 Parts I -- V 4.2 Parts VI -- IX 5 Live performances 6 Personnel 7 Edited versions 8 Releases 9 Use in films 10 Cover versions 11 References 12 External links Background ( edit ) The song was conceived and written as a tribute and remembrance to their former band member Syd Barrett ; the title of the song itself can also be seen as a reference to Barrett ( Shine On You Crazy Diamond ) . The work was first performed on their 1974 French tour and recorded for their 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here . It was intended to be a side - long composition ( like `` Atom Heart Mother '' and `` Echoes '' ) but was ultimately split into two sections and used to bookend the album , with new material composed that was more relevant to the album and to the situation in which the band found themselves . Recording ( edit ) Bassist Roger Waters commented , as the sessions were underway , that `` at times the group was there only physically . Our bodies were there , but our minds and feelings somewhere else . '' Eventually an idea was raised to split the epic in two , Parts I -- V and Parts VI -- IX . According to guitarist David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason on the Wish You Were Here episode of In the Studio with Redbeard , Pink Floyd recorded a satisfactory take of `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' , but because of a new mixing console which was installed at Abbey Road Studios , it needed to be re-recorded because excessive ' bleed ' from other instruments could be heard on the drum tracks , as explained by Gilmour : We originally did the backing track over the course of several days , but we came to the conclusion that it just was n't good enough . So we did it again in one day flat and got it a lot better . Unfortunately nobody understood the desk properly and when we played it back we found that someone had switched the echo returns from monitors to tracks one and two . That affected the tom - toms and guitars and keyboards which were playing along at the time . There was no way of saving it , so we just had to do it yet again . On part 3 , a piano part seems to have been added `` live '' to the final mix , making it absent from multitrack masters . That part was re-recorded at British Grove Studios by pianist Richard Wright during the multi-channel mix used for the album Immersion Edition and the SACD release . Nick Mason said : With the invention of 16 - track and 2 - inch tape there was the belief for quite a while that there would be something wrong with editing tape that big . Consequently whenever we played these pieces , they had to be played from beginning to end . Particularly for Roger ( Waters ) and myself being the rhythm section , which would be laid down first , this was ( chuckling ) a fairly tough business because the whole thing had to be sort of right . Barrett incident ( edit ) Syd Barrett , visiting Abbey Road Studios on 5 June 1975 One day during recording , Barrett ( now heavyset , with a completely shaved head and eyebrows ) wandered into the studio ( although Mason has since stated that he is not entirely certain whether `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' was the particular work being recorded when Barrett was there ) . Because of his drastically changed appearance , the band did not recognize him for some time . When they eventually determined the withdrawn man in the corner was Barrett , Roger Waters allegedly became so distressed about his appearance he was reduced to tears . Someone asked to play the suite again for Barrett and he said a second playback was not needed when they had just heard it . When asked what he thought of the song , Barrett said it sounded a `` bit old '' . He subsequently slipped away during celebrations for Gilmour 's wedding to Ginger Hasenbein , which took place later that day . Gilmour confirmed this story , although he could not recall which composition they were working on when Barrett showed up . The episode is resumed by Wright as follows : Roger was there , and he was sitting at the desk , and I came in and I saw this guy sitting behind him -- huge , bald , fat guy . I thought , `` He looks a bit ... strange ... '' Anyway , so I sat down with Roger at the desk and we worked for about ten minutes , and this guy kept on getting up and brushing his teeth and then sitting -- doing really weird things , but keeping quiet . And I said to Roger , `` Who is he ? '' and Roger said `` I do n't know . '' and I said `` Well , I assumed he was a friend of yours , '' and he said `` No , I do n't know who he is . '' Anyway , it took me a long time , and then suddenly I realised it was Syd , after maybe 45 minutes . He came in as we were doing the vocals for `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' , which was basically about Syd . He just , for some incredible reason picked the very day that we were doing a song which was about him . And we had n't seen him , I do n't think , for two years before . That 's what 's so incredibly ... weird about this guy . And a bit disturbing , as well , I mean , particularly when you see a guy , that you do n't , you could n't recognize him . And then , for him to pick the very day we want to start putting vocals on , which is a song about him . Very strange . Composition ( edit ) This section possibly contains original research .

( April 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) As neither the original 1975 vinyl release nor the CD re-release actually delineate the various parts precisely , the make - up of the parts below is based on a comparison of the recorded timings with the identifications in the published sheet music . Without benefit of the publication , it is easy to mistake Parts I and II as Part I , Part III as Part II , and so on , with the extensive postlude of Part V ( at 11 : 10 ) as the beginning of the fifth section . Parts I -- V ( edit ) Part I ( Wright , Waters , Gilmour ; from 0 : 00 to 3 : 54 ) There are no lyrics in Part I . The instrumental begins with a fade - in of a G minor chord created with an EMS VCS 3 , ARP Solina , a Hammond organ , and a wine glass harp ( recycled from an earlier project known as Household Objects ) . This is followed by Wright 's Minimoog passages leading into a lengthy , bluesy guitar solo played by Gilmour on a Fender Stratocaster ( neck pickup ) using a heavily compressed sound and reverb . Part I ends with the synthesizer chord fading into the background . During the fade - out some very faint conversation in the studio can be heard on the left channel . Four Note Theme The main four note guitar theme that sets the tempo for the next section of the epic . <Td_colspan="2"> Problems playing this file ? See media help . Part II ( Gilmour , Waters , Wright ; from 3 : 54 to 6 : 27 ) begins with a four - note theme ( B ♭ , F , G ( below the B ♭ ) , E ) ( known informally as `` Syd 's theme '' ) repeated throughout much of the entire section . This theme leads the harmony to C major ( in comparison to the use of C minor in Part I ) . Mason starts his drumming and Waters his bass playing after the fourth playing of the four - note theme , which is the point where the riffs get into a fixed tempo , in 6 / 8 time . The chord leads back to G minor ( as from Part I ) , followed by E ♭ major and D major back to a coda from G minor . This part includes another solo by Gilmour . Part III ( Waters , Gilmour , Wright ; from 6 : 27 to 8 : 42 ) begins with a Minimoog solo by Wright accompanied by a less complex variation of Mason 's drums from Part II . This part includes Gilmour 's third guitar solo , in the G natural minor scale , and ends with a fade into Part IV . When performed on the Animals tour , Gilmour added distortion to the guitar for this solo . This solo is often dropped in live performances while the rest of part III is still played -- notably on Delicate Sound of Thunder and Pulse . Part IV ( Gilmour , Wright , Waters ; from 8 : 42 to 11 : 10 ) Waters sings his lyrics , with Gilmour , Wright and female backing vocalists Venetta Fields and Carlena Williams on harmonies . Part V ( Waters , Gilmour , Wright ; from 11 : 10 to 13 : 32 ) Part IV is followed by two guitars repeating an arpeggio variation on the main theme for about a minute with the theme of Part II . A baritone saxophone overlays the sounds , played by Dick Parry . The saxophone changes from a baritone to a tenor saxophone , as a time signature switch from 6 / 8 to 12 / 8 creates the feeling that the tempo doubles up . The sax solo is accompanied by a Solina string synthesizer keyboard sound . A machine - like hum fades in with musique concrète and segues into `` Welcome to the Machine '' . Parts VI -- IX ( edit ) Part VI ( Wright , Waters , Gilmour ; from 0 : 00 to 4 : 59 ) begins with a howling wind from the preceding song `` Wish You Were Here '' . As the wind fades away , Gilmour comes in on the bass guitar . Waters adds another bass with a continuing riff pattern . Then Wright comes in playing a Solina String Ensemble Synthesizer and after a few measures , several rhythm guitar parts ( Gilmour played the power chord rhythm part using his black Fender Stratocaster before switching to lap steel guitar for the solo in live performances from 1974 -- 77 . Snowy White did the rhythm guitar parts on this track on the band 's 1977 `` In the Flesh '' tour ) and drums come in , as well as a Minimoog synthesizer to play the opening solo . At the two - minute mark , Wright 's Minimoog and Gilmour 's lap steel guitar play notes in unison before Gilmour does a lap steel guitar solo ( the lap steel had open G tuning with the high D string tuned to E ) with some counterpointing from Wright 's synthesizers . It lasts for about three minutes ( four when played on the band 's `` In the Flesh '' tour ) and Gilmour played each section an octave higher than the previous one . The highest note he hit on the lap steel / slide solo was a B ♭ 6 , followed by a reprise of the guitar solo from Part IV ( which was played by White live on Pink Floyd 's 1977 tour so Gilmour could switch back to his Fender Stratocaster ) . The song then switches time signatures to 6 / 8 ( found in Parts II -- V ) , giving the appearance of a slower tempo and reintroducing the vocals . Part VII ( Waters , Gilmour , Wright ; from 4 : 59 to 6 : 09 ) contains the vocals , in a similar vein to Part IV though half the length , before segueing into Part VIII . Waters again sings the lead vocals with Gilmour , Wright , Venetta Fields and Carlena Williams providing backing vocals . Part VIII ( Gilmour , Wright , Waters ; from 6 : 09 to 9 : 07 ) brings in Waters to play a second electric guitar for a high - noted sound riff while Gilmour plays the arpeggio riff that bridges Parts VII and VIII . A solid progression of funk in 4 / 4 plays for about two minutes before very slowly fading out as a single sustained keyboard note fades in around the nine - minute mark . Throughout this section , Wright 's keyboards dominate , with the use of a Minimoog synthesizer , and a Hohner Clavinet . Originally the section clocked in at 8 minutes before it was edited down to three minutes on the final version ( the unedited Part 8 without the electric piano and Minimoog overdubs surfaced on a bootleg called The Extraction Tapes ) . When performed on the `` In the Flesh '' tour in 1977 , the section would be extended to between 5 and 10 minutes as it would feature guitar solos from Gilmour ( which would vary from funky power chords to a proper solo as the Animals tour progressed ) and Snowy White . In addition to their guitar solos , there was also occasional trading of leads from Gilmour and White instead of the keyboard sounds as heard on record . Part IX ( Wright , from 9 : 07 to 12 : 28 ) is played in 4 / 4 time . Gilmour described Part IX in an interview as `` a slow 4 / 4 funeral march ... the parting musical eulogy to Syd '' . Again , Wright 's keyboards dominate , with little guitar input from Gilmour . Mason 's drums play for much of this part , and the keyboards play for the final minute before fading out . On the fade - out , a short keyboard part of the melody of `` See Emily Play '' ( at 12 : 12 ) , one of Barrett 's signature Pink Floyd songs , can be heard . Part IX , and the album , ends in G major , a Picardy third . When performed early on the Animals tour , the part begins with the piano ( as heard on record ) then the synth solo is played ( as on record ) by Dick Parry with some slide guitar accompaniment by Snowy White would then change to half synthesizer / half harmony lead guitar solo for the remainder of European leg and first US leg . For the final US leg , after the piano began it was a bluesy guitar solo from Gilmour then harmony guitars from Gilmour and White ( Gilmour playing the highest parts ) and then ending like on record . This was the final solo writing credit Wright would receive in Pink Floyd during his lifetime , as well as his last writing credit of any kind until The Division Bell in 1994 .

( June 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The song series was first performed as `` Shine On '' , during the band 's French tour in June 1974 . It was introduced as `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' on the British tour in November 1974 . The set was originally performed as one whole suite with some of the parts differing from the album versions , and samplings of Barrett 's solo song `` Dark Globe '' during the opening of the performance . The version from the British tour was included on the 2011 Experience and Immersion editions of Wish You Were Here . The multi-part version of `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' was first performed on the band 's 1975 North American tour with `` Have a Cigar '' thrown into the middle of the piece . The 1975 versions were close to the final versions , except parts one and nine were still not refined yet . The band performed the whole nine - part `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' as part of the Wish You Were Here portion of their 1977 In the Flesh Tour , with extra musicians White on guitar and backing vocals and Parry on saxophones . Parts I -- V became a staple of Floyd 's performances from 1987 -- 94 . The track opened shows for most of the A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour of 1987 -- 89 and the tour closing performance at Knebworth in 1990 with Candy Dulfer on saxophone . The first eleven performances had `` Echoes '' as the show opener before the band proceeded to play all of A Momentary Lapse of Reason in the rest of the first half in a slightly different sequence to the album . A condensed edition of the track ( without the Gilmour solo in Part III ) would then open the second half of the shows on the group 's 1994 The Division Bell tour ( documented on Pulse ) except on shows where all of The Dark Side of the Moon was performed when `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' opened the first half and in the last month and a half of the tour the band added part VII to Parts I -- V. A similar version was also played during David Gilmour 's Rattle That Lock Tour in 2015 with the according screen film on display . Gilmour performed almost the whole suite ( save part IX ) at his 2001 and 2002 semi-unplugged concerts ( documented on his 2002 David Gilmour in Concert DVD ) . `` There was , '' he said , `` a moment of thinking , ' Shall I attempt an acoustic guitar version of the long , synthesised opening ? ' It came to me one day how I could do it , and it worked out not too badly . '' Gilmour performed parts I -- II and IV -- V ( in a new arrangement ) on his 2006 On an Island solo tour . Part III was omitted and Parts I and II were simplified and more guitar - focused . Gilmour performed Parts I -- V on his Live in Gdańsk album on disc two and on the DVD in the four - disc edition of the album . The five - disc edition and the online downloads available in the three and four - disc editions include Parts I -- V recorded in Venice and Vienne in 2006 . In many of his performances , solo and with Pink Floyd , Gilmour alters the vocal melody to avoid the higher notes that were originally sung by Waters . Waters has also performed the epic on his 1999 and 2000 tours documented on his In the Flesh -- Live album and DVD which was a condensed parts I , II , IV , VI , VII , and IX . Part VI on these performances had a lap steel solo from Jon Carin then guitar solos from Doyle Bramhall II and White . Then on Waters ' 2002 tour , he played all nine parts like on record ( although part VIII was shortened ) . An abridged version of parts I -- V was performed on Waters ' 2006 -- 07 The Dark Side of the Moon Live tour . Personnel ( edit ) Roger Waters -- bass guitar , lead vocals , additional electric guitar on Part VIII , glass harp David Gilmour -- electric guitars , backing vocals , lap steel guitar , additional bass guitar on Part VI , EMS Synthi AKS , glass harp Richard Wright -- Hammond organ , ARP String Ensemble , Minimoog , quadruple - tracked EMS VCS 3 , clavinet and electric piano on Part VIII , Steinway piano on Parts III and IX , glass harp , backing vocals , Bösendorfer piano on the multi-channel re-release ( recorded in 2008 ) . Nick Mason -- drums , percussion with : Dick Parry -- baritone and tenor saxophones Carlena Williams -- backing vocals Venetta Fields -- backing vocals Edited versions ( edit ) Three different edited versions of the composition have appeared on compilation albums : A Collection of Great Dance Songs ( Parts I , II , IV , VII ) The version on this compilation album was cut significantly . Parts III , V , VI , VIII and IX were dropped completely . Parts IV and VII are linked by the guitar solo from earlier in Part IV . Lastly , the riff that links Parts VII and VIII is repeated several times as the song segues into the introductory radio passage from `` Wish You Were Here '' . Echoes : The Best of Pink Floyd ( Parts I -- VII ) The version on this compilation album was also cut , but less significantly . The guitar solo on Part III was dropped . Part VI was shortened . Parts VIII and IX were dropped completely . Linking Parts V and VI is the sound of wind . These are the same wind effects used to bridge `` Wish You Were Here '' to Part VI of `` Diamond '' on the original LP . Finally , the riff that links Parts VII and VIII is repeated several times as the song segues into the introductory passage of clocks of `` Time '' . A Foot in the Door -- The Best of Pink Floyd ( Parts I -- V ) This version was also cut . Parts VI -- IX were dropped completely . Part I was shortened . The guitar solo on Part III was dropped . The saxophone on Part V has an early fade - out . Finally , the machine - like hum that segues into `` Welcome to the Machine '' in the original album was dropped , the song simply stops and `` Brain Damage '' begins .
