Pink Floyd: The Story of Wish You Were Here(TV) (2011)
Wish You Were Here, released in September 1975, was the follow up album to the globally successful The Dark Side Of The Moon and is cited by many fans, as well as band members Richard Wright and David Gilmour, as their favorite Pink Floyd album. On release it went straight to Number One in both the UK and the US and topped the charts in many other countries around the world. This program tells the story of the making of this landmark release through new interviews with Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason and archive interviews with the late Richard Wright. Also featured are sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson, guest vocalist Roy Harper, front cover “burning man” Ronnie Rondell and others involved in the creation of the album. In addition, original recording engineer Brian Humphries revisits the master tapes at Abbey Road Studios to illustrate aspects of the songs’ construction.

For the most part, this is a nicely sharp and well detailed high definition presentation that looks best in its contemporary interview segments. There are occasional very minor combing artifacts due to the interlaced presentation, but they're a niggling concern for the most part. As is to be expected, the archival footage is sourced from a number of different formats and some of it frankly looks pretty ragged. However, by far the largest bulk of this documentary is the contemporary footage, and that pops rather nicely, with pleasing fine detail (almost all of the talking heads sequences are shot close up), nicely saturated color and solid contrast. Pink Floyd: The Story of Wish You Were Here Blu-ray, Audio QualityPink Floyd – The Story of Wish You Were Here features both a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround mix as well as an LPCM 2.0 stereo fold down. This is by and large a talking heads documentary, so there's perhaps less to recommend the 5.1 mix than would otherwise be the case. While there are certainly musical sequences here, which in fact do benefit from the 5.1 audio, they are typically short and edited, and as often as not feature voiceover narration or commentary. Fidelity is very strong on both of these tracks and even with the lack of real consistent surround activity, the 5.1 track at least gives hints of what awaited listeners who sprang for the Immersion Edition of Wish You Were Here.
