Wish You Were Here Tour Wish You Were Here Tour The North American Tour, also referred to as the Wish You Were Here Tour, was a concert tour by the British progressive rock band Pink Floyd in 1975 in support of their then-forthcoming album "Wish You Were Here". The tour was divided in two legs in the United States, West Coast and East Coast, and a gig in the UK at the Knebworth Festival. On this tour debuted the song "Have a Cigar" and the "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" suite was divided in two parts with "Have a Cigar" between. The last gig of
You Were Here was bumped when Rudy Giuliani's first post-9/11 appearance ran overtime. The album's title track is a tribute to her former Weeping Tile bandmate Joe Chithalen, who died in 1999. The Art Of Time Ensemble featuring Sarah Slean recorded a Roberto Occhipinti arrangement of "Lodestar" on their 2009 album "Black Flowers". The album was warmly received. "TIME" ranked "You Were Here" in its year-end Top Ten list, calling it the year's best debut album. "You Were Here" was named the 24th greatest Canadian album of all time in Bob Mersereau's 2007 book "The Top 100 Canadian Albums". Music critic Lisa M.
