Customer Reviews:

Very nice documentary about the Wish you were Here album, one of PF best albums, if not, THE best. Emotional highlights when Syd Barrett is mentioned a few times. The sound of this blu-ray is very good, especially at the moments when the mixing desk in the Abbey Road Studio is shown a few times. This movie gives you a superb inside of a " making of ". As a Pink Floyd fan, you need this disc to add to your collection.
