Wish You Were Here is a concept album by Pink Floyd. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios between January and July, 1975 and released on September 15, 1975. The concept is vaguely about the music industry, and how it can affect the performer, questioning the market oriented record companies and their lack of understanding and interest for the music. The album is largely a tribute to Pink Floyd's former guitarist and chief songwriter, Syd Barrett. Barrett's mental illness and erratic behaviour made it impossible for him to contribute effectively to the band after the album A Saucerful of Secrets. Originally, Wish You Were Here was to consist of three songs that the band had been playing live over the previous two years: Shine On, Gotta Be Crazy and Raving and Drooling. Shine On was preserved as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, while Roger Waters decided to drop the other two, which later became, respectively, Dogs and Sheep on the Animals album. In their place, Waters wrote new material that documented the band's current condition (the title track) and caricatured the negative aspects of the record business (Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar).
