Warren has walked with the gods of southern rock, and now most all of them are gone. You know that’s got to be heavy on his heart when he picks up that guitar.
IT'S HEAVY-DUTY ON ALL OF US WHO DEVELOPED THE LOVE FOR SOUTHERN ROCK AND PLAYED ALONG WITH BEGINNINGS BY THE ALLMAN BROTHERS AND MARSHALL TUCKER BAND WHEN SKYNYRD CAME OUT THAT WAS IT I DROPPED OUTTA SCHOOL TO LEARN THOSE SONGS GOD BLESS THEM ALL AND MR HANES
This song brings me to my knees. It was played at my husband's memorial service. He was a Vietnam Veteran. His favorite band was Pink Floyd. I miss my husband...
I didn’t know your husband but I miss him too. He was a true American who ,like myself loves Pink Floyd. This on the other hand is a mighty fine rendition
brings me to tears every time. lost one of my closest friends 18 years ago, died in my arms then lost the other to a head on car wreck just 2 years ago come April. I am reminded by this song of the brothers from other mothers that were closer to me than any blood relation I have. Rick and "Too Tall" Dave were more family than my family. If I could bring them back in exchange for my own life I would without hesitation or regret. I struggle to keep my faith that I will see them again someday. Gone but never forgotten, RIP my brothers. hope to see you soon.
Warren lives just down the road from me. I ran into him one time at Lowe's. He was buying a door knob set and didn't know which one to to buy. I said hi and thanked him for his music and told him which one I preferred. He took the one I suggested and that was about it. No big deal but pretty cool anyway.
Life too short to complicate it more, 😎 A true artists gets the value of tasks & those of priority & those menial & fleeting chores , U did the right thing & I'm sure he smiled later & whispered, Thanks man, Cool, , No big deal, a friendly assist by another cool citizen 😉
I've seen him more times than I can count. I've had many conversations in my head of what I would say if the chance came. It did one show, I was a blubbering fool with my arms wrapped around him all I could say and kept saying over and over lol was I love you. All the deep and intelligent stuff I had planned went right out the window. Lol
He's amazing no doubt! I even got the chance to meet him once! But he's been on the scene for a pretty long time now haha. Since the 80s at least. More folks just gotta be hip to the good stuff!
My 25 at old son took his life 13 years ago I played this at his funeral Everyone just broke down it was the worst day of my life About 2 months after that his best friend overdosed and it was terrible his sister played this at his funeral I was so sad for his family Thay was,a fucked year for losses. My son would be 39 March 16th Happy Birthday son.Wish you were here .I'm so sorry for your loss I know it broke me and I will never be the same I can barely remember what I was like pret 2007.i know I was content sometimes.I love this song.
Well I cried. Thinking about old friends that are gone...remembering their faces, hearing their laughs, remembering all the wondrous thoughts we had and the light that once shown in our eyes. I am the only one left from those days although I was the most reckless and rebellious. I am wiser but filled, like Solomon, with great wisdom and sorrow, wishing they were here.
Alex Stuehmer - Eloquently said. I’ve lost too many people to whom I was very close. Great music like this helps to keep their memory alive and their spirits close. All the best to you, my friend.
Not even close... and this is one of my all time ones... They had 3 good albums..best has to have at least 84% of their songs be good fvckn songs... pink floyd ain't got no where close

This reminds me of my beautiful wife. She has been gone 21 years now and every time I hear this song it brings back so many memories of her. Rest in peace Babe.
I lost my husband in 2008. We were married 33 years. We played this song all the time both guitarists lyricists with perfect harmony. I miss him dearly. He was 51 I was 52. Life has just not been good since he's gone. I feel your pain a nd wish you well. We also played Comfortably numb. I like the way you played this. God bless a nd keep you all safe💓🎵🎸😘

My mother passed away last month 6/15/2021. Oh jow I wish you were here mom. I know I'll see you again, but I miss you. When I needed someone to talk to, I had your ear, and you always gave me the best and right advice. Rest in the arms of our Lord, for I know you are in no more pain. Love you mom!!!!!
Wish You Were Here always brings a tear to my eye. I've lost so many friends and family over the years since the first time I heard Pink Floyd sing that song. The faces, the dreams, the memories, The things that will never be. How I wish I could see them one more time.
My husband of 40 years passed away Feb. 11, 2018 after a long illness. I miss him as much today as I did the morning he died. It just never gets easier. I miss you Bob. Thank you.

I listened to till song when my grandmother who fought cancer an won.But it came back 4 yrs later lost her life to cancer. I live 2,000 miles away from her an the day she passed I did not find out till her birthday when I called to wish her a happy birthday my mother was taking it hard an told me in a way I know she was gone. I wish they would have told me so I could have gone down south to see her one last time and say goodbye to the her. It’s been 3yrs an I have her ashes by my bed an still gets me tearing. The one who was there for me an my mother to help raise us she was my best friend.
I am so sorry for your loss... I lost my brother 3 years ago and I don't seem to have what I once was. I held him in my arms as he took his last breathe.. he played guitar and did a great job with this song.. God bless you..
Warren Haynes is one of the best guitarist of this generation!! Hands down!!! Derek Trucks is right there with him!! They both played with The Allman Brothers band and we're incredible!!! Just stand there and jam their asses off!!! I love them both!!!!!!!❤️💞
@@margaretricher4474 Yeah there's a video somewhere here on YT of Derek playing with the band at, like, age 13. It's epic. And of course, I had to think of his poor uncle Butch, listening to this......
I think Warren (whose more seasoned as a musician) has more patience and doesn’t rush it. Sometimes I Feel Derrick rushes through a song. Just my thoughts.
My brother and I sang this by request of my aunt and uncle who lost their son Marc our cousin about 15 years ago. It was very hard to do considering he was 39 not yet 40.Drugs fucking suck stay away from hard ones. RIP Mark.
A few weeks ago I was getting my bag at the small airport here in town and Warren is standing there waiting on his. I was tempted to speak with him- but he looked tired, it was late so I got my bag and left. I hear he put on a kick ass show the next night.
I want to Specially appreciate you for being a big fan Thanks for your nice comment on my post, it means a lot to me. I want you to send me a direct message via hangouts using my personal email that will be indicated below. Also endeavor to add your name to the text so I can know you are the one texting because I don't reply unnecessarily, messages Hangouts mail:warrenhaynes.connects@gmail.com
I wrote these lyrics out for my mom who could play guitar and sing but she never played this song...wish she was here now, God I miss her so much. I was 17 when she died, could not function in society for months after that, got stuck everywhere I went. I remember just listening to this and Queen in my room and would not open the door for anyone...Can't wait to see you again mom, I love you!!!
The only performer I've seen on that level was Chris Cornell who was probably a better singer but less competent on the guitar. Two guys who would have sounded great together.
On july the 28th 2021 my girlfriend of 17 years died after a month long coma,I dont know if she ever heard me after she went into the hospital,her favorite band was floyd and one of my most favorite living musicians is warren. Candy cooper baby I love you and I miss you and WISH YOU WERE HERE💔
First time I watched Warren do this song was right after Woody died. Very touching. When I first saw Govt Mule it was Warren, Matt and Woody. It was one of the best shows I had ever seen. You could see the brotherhood these guys shared. RIP Allen Woody.
If I could reach beyond the veil, I would give this one to my nephew, his mother (my sister) , my mother and father ... God rest his soul (Antony)~ God rest their souls!
Lost my mom at age 51. Lost my brother 5 years later at age 24. This was there favorite song. It’s been over 20 years sincethere gone. I certainly wish they were here. Awesome cover
Yes. The first time I met him was at a biker rally, he was twenty and playing in David Allen Coe’s band. Years later I partied with he and Woody after a show at the Cabooze in Minneapolis. Except for both of us being older and fatter he hadn’t changed from that down to earth 20 year old.
This man is one of the best...a legend who's legacy goes back at least to the days when he played with the Allman Brothers Band. He keeps the great tunes of yesterday alive, along with new ones he writes today.
I lost my sister and my best friend about 6 years ago. He was a musician and we played a recording of him playing this at his funeral. A sea of tears followed. I cry every time I hear this song now.
@Jim M....I’m really sorry 😣 for your loss. I know you miss your sister and your best friend. They’re so lucky 🍀 to be away from this COVID-19 crap, and the cold 🥶 weather. That doesn’t ease the pain of your broken heart 💔 They both know how much you love and miss them. Remember, we’ll all meet again, and what an awesome 😎 party 🎉 🎈that will be🙋🏽♀️💕
Wow.... I see the date is in august 2020..while we are now in 2024..listening to this song performed by two great musicians, singing this song as should, like an anthem or, dare I say a private prayer..with the audience. This song stays forever , while time is speeding by like a bullet train. What a moving performance..thx!!!
This was the first song I heard on the radio right after my father died. My dad was 60 and just passed away in his sleep, no warning. My dad played in band in highschool and 20-30s. In his time a local fav. My dad loved this music this band well both bands represented in this recording. And I am my father's daughter, and I live in the wrong era i believe. 7/27/17 miss you Daddy
I'm sorry for your loss. 60 isn't enough. But, please, remember all of the killer music he turned you on to. That feeling will be there for you forever.
So sad, wats known as classic rock so many are gone. I still listen to at 66 That was my world away frm this world. I am comfortably numb & a different place when I listen to the lyrics & sounds of ol! Gosh, how I wish “they “ were all here still. Only in my mind now-Will live will their sounds forever! The best! No one could compare to what was n still remains for those who were there
.....and thinking of my beloved wife Dawn, passed away November 11, 2018. How many times did I play this song to her, and now I play it for her....!!! 💔
The lyrics to this song are so strong. Cold comfort for change? Hot ashes for dreams? Hot air for the cool breeze? So many ways to apply to whatever situation you find yourself in. Obviously it struck a spot with Warren.
Yes Roger Waters is a genius. A lot of people don't know he wrote virtually all lyrics and almost the entire album bc the other guys were so fucked up at the time. That's actually what Wish You Were Here is about. His longing for them to be present bc the former band frontman, Syd Barrett, had already ruined himself on acid and was back living at home with his parents. Shine on You Crazy Diamond is about Syd. Pretty ironic bc I think did most of us had some magical experiences with Pink Floyd and most every drug ever thought up. At least that was HIS side of the story. I know Rick Wright was actually paid as a session musician when recording "The Wall" bc he was so bad off the only way they could get him to show up was if they paid him by the hour. Again that's the behind the scenes gossip. So who really knows, but if you go back and listen to a lot of the lyrics you can begin to see where that makes sense.
@@NickDonellan I agree with the genius of Waters, though it took me almost 2 decades to appreciate it. Gilmour has always been my favorite guitarist, since I got Momentary Lapse of Reason for my 14th or so birthday. But even recently did I find out his wife had written a lot of his lyrics, leaving Waters the true head of Floyd. So much drama within such a band of brilliant minds, but I guess that is to be expected. I'm so glad they are still pushing young minds to experience the gold they recorded, and Waters is still releasing some studio tracks.
@@fuzzybunny4muny I recently saw footage from the Roger Waters, Us And Them-Tour on television. The recorded concert is available as BluRay etc. and there's parts from it here on YT. What I found striking is how many rather young fans were in the audience. Great music like this apparently conquers generation after generation.
@@fuzzybunny4muny yeah I'm actually in the same boat. It took me 25 years to realize just how much of a genius he is. I think there are things you can only learn to truly appreciate once you've reached middle age bc you just don't have the life experience and wisdom to analyze the philosophical and political nature of his lyrics. It's hard even describing what I mean without sounding like an unqualified intern at rolling stone or that old hippie that sits entranced in the drum circle at every jam band festival, probably ever.
I remember 18 years ago when I had just had the great fortune to have met my wife and we went to Hotel Budir in Iceland. The troubadour of that evening started this tune and there was a an extra guitar onstage so I casually picked it up, giving him a nod, and we delivered a magical version of this beautiful song. Everyone was just shell shocked, nobody more than myself. I knew the tune and all but never felt that I could deliver it myself live as it is so damned good in the original version. This version in the video is very nice as well, but remember that when you play for love, anything can happen… even magic.
I wish all my family was hear,I'm 69 years young ..but I wish they and all the people that didn't like me that are all gone I wish they were here you learn about forgiveness as we all get older.
@@scottstewart9584 actually I'm a Christian who was saved many years ago and I'm constantly focused on getting as many lost sheep as possible back to the flock. Sounds like you're calling out into the abyss for God's nurturing love and direction. The Bible is a blueprint and a roadmap for your journey through life and your transition to the almighty kingdom of God. Contact your local churches and they will help get you on the path of righteousness and knowing the unconditional love of the heavenly father. Your journey is waiting for you. Which path will you take ?
I understand this perfectly. It’s one of several songs that are so deeply personal to me that I cannot sing them without my voice breaking down. Warren is an amazing talent. ❤️
@@craigkerr2764 that's true. Syd spent some of the time in the studio as roger played his heart out holding a toothbrush steady and jumping up and down brushing his teeth. And when roger asked how he liked it he replied "sounded quite odd didn't it"
@@truthseeker9243 this song is not about Syd Barrett . The song Shine On ... Is about him . Wish you were Here is about one's self as explained by Waters.
@@tmaddrummer - The fact that you think my comment is equivalent to the racist, hate-ridden bullshit that poured out of Limbaugh’s filthy mouth for decades speaks to what kind of person you are. What did Rush Limbaugh ever do to improve your life? He spread hatred and division for the sole purpose of lining his own pockets. What a hero. 🙄
This Tune always gets me too! Warren is one of the biggest talents out there. Gov't Mule, Allmans' Solo, What a force. Thanks for sharing. Peace everyone.
Thank you for asking and to answer that, days go bye, and I struggle with finding reasons. I continue to go on, remembering and quietly moving forward most days, but you never stop the empty feeling that loss has built in innately.
Man I have said the same thing .last show I seen tab Benoit , December 28 2020., and that was the 3rd time I seen him that year .truly aching to see a show
It is always a great pleasure when talented, great players pay tribute to the finest songwriters, something alchemical happens and we are transported, we are made finer and more worthy for the listening.
This guy is all class. No matter who song it is or was he will put his touch of class to yet. Under rated performer is an understatement. One of our best from our generation hopefully the next will enjoy his music also.
Was one of a friend's favourites. Lost him to Covid in Jan this year and played it at his funeral service. I know exactly how you feel. RIP to those loved ones we have lost
I lost my younger brother 23 years ago. We weren't twins,but our minds were. It was uncanny how we could be on the same page even tho we lived 210 miles apart. We both lived and breathed music,most any kind - rock,country,jazz,soul. But we tended to perfer Rock...Heavy Rock/Prog Rock. He was lead vocalist for a local band in Ft.Worth . Dallas/FTW always had lots of name band shows and my brother and his connection would always come up with killer seats. Front row YES, Front row Pink Floyd,third row Jethro Tull...on and on between 1975 - 2001. Dozens and dozens of very up close shows for the biggest names. Some back stage passes and some very interesting stories. The first Pink Floyd show, they did a rousing rendition of "Wish you were here". The second PF show they played it again. We both loved WYWH. Both of us considered it one of PF's best, very special to both of us. My brother had liver cancer and never told me .He didn't want me to see him in such bad shape. Said he'd call me after he finished his chemo and we'd get together then. But his cancer was worse than they thot. I talked with him on the phone 2 days before he lost his battle with the disease. He was trying hard to sound normal,like the old days. We needed to be together again,one last time. But it wasn't to be. His last words to me were 'Wish you Here,my brother' . Hung up the phone,went out and got in my pick-up,had to get to the Liquor store quick. The radio came on and was just beginning to play - you guessed it: Wish you were Here. How I wished I was there.
So glad to have gone to college in the late 80’s early 90’s in milledgeville Ga right in between Macon and Athens Ga man the music I saw between those two towns was unbelievable
One of my all time favorite Humans. His playing has brought so much joy to these ears. I wish we were all at the Denver Fillmore dancing to your music. Thanks Warren.
November 8, 2020 the day my Dad that started his downward spiral to the end. He died on December 12, 2020 at 86 years old. He was a big fan of Warren Haynes. Wish you were here, Dad.
Same here. Grew up in the 70-80's. Whilst all the kids were listening to the likes of Duran duran etc, we were stoned listening to Floyd, Zepplin, Deep purple. That's what got me into geetar in the first place.
Check out Warren and Danny delivering a wonderful cover of Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone" from the same show!

Well said. So true. I almost cried too. Music today is not music.
There are guitar players, then there's Warren Haynes. The world is a better place because of Warren
Nobody dare thumb that up. Its at 100% baby. Shit maybe goto 110%. ahahaha. Care and luck boys and girls. You won't find a better few mins anywhere.

Toss up between him and Dave grohl for hardest working man in rock and roll
No it's David Gilmour Randy Rhoads Zakk Wilde and Steve Vai
They are the all time best guitarists in the world

Any guy who is this much of a fan of Floyd, as Warren obviously is, is a good guy in my book.
Really sweet version! Loved it!
oh yes
Such a bore !
lucky me♡
Just a man with his guitar singing a song. Thanks Warren I appreciate you!
WH is a huge under appreciated talent. One of my all time FAVS.
Wish You Were Here always brings a tear to my eye. I've lost so many friends and family over the years since the first time I heard Pink Floyd sing that song. The faces, the dreams, the memories, The things that will never be. How I wish I could see them one more time.
Same here
Same here
Lost my oldest son 2006 I'm in tears now and wish he was here too
My best friend died in 78 when his brother came to wake me up and tell me, Wish You Was Here was on my radio, miss him everyday.
That's rough!
A song about losing someone but remembering them forever.
My husband of 40 years passed away Feb. 11, 2018 after a long illness. I miss him as much today as I did the morning he died. It just never gets easier. I miss you Bob. Thank you.
So sorry for your loss !

I listened to till song when my grandmother who fought cancer an won.But it came back 4 yrs later lost her life to cancer. I live 2,000 miles away from her an the day she passed I did not find out till her birthday when I called to wish her a happy birthday my mother was taking it hard an told me in a way I know she was gone. I wish they would have told me so I could have gone down south to see her one last time and say goodbye to the her. It’s been 3yrs an I have her ashes by my bed an still gets me tearing. The one who was there for me an my mother to help raise us she was my best friend.
I am so sorry for your loss... I lost my brother 3 years ago and I don't seem to have what I once was. I held him in my arms as he took his last breathe.. he played guitar and did a great job with this song.. God bless you..
Hang in there. My Grandma died last week. My very last Grandparent. She was the glue to our family. Our family is already falling apart without her.
Just don’t understand why that was kept from you
Very sorry for your loss.
Warren Haynes is one of the best guitarist of this generation!! Hands down!!! Derek Trucks is right there with him!! They both played with The Allman Brothers band and we're incredible!!! Just stand there and jam their asses off!!! I love them both!!!!!!!❤️💞
Saw Derek when he was 16 playing with the Greg Allman in the late 80s. Then saw him a week later at a small club in Augusta GA solo. Great!
@@margaretricher4474 Yeah there's a video somewhere here on YT of Derek playing with the band at, like, age 13. It's epic.
And of course, I had to think of his poor uncle Butch, listening to this......
The Allman brothers had more than their fair share of spectacular guitarists and bass players.
I think Warren (whose more seasoned as a musician) has more patience and doesn’t rush it. Sometimes I Feel Derrick rushes through a song. Just my thoughts.
Allan Woody played with Warren in ABB also. They left the "Brothers" to form Govt Mule !
My brother and I sang this by request of my aunt and uncle who lost their son Marc our cousin about 15 years ago. It was very hard to do considering he was 39 not yet 40.Drugs fucking suck stay away from hard ones. RIP Mark.
The tone from that 12 string is perfect for this song. Today would've been my father's birthday. This one's for him.
A few weeks ago I was getting my bag at the small airport here in town and Warren is standing there waiting on his. I was tempted to speak with him- but he looked tired, it was late so I got my bag and left. I hear he put on a kick ass show the next night.
Warren's voice is amazingly soothing. His ability to meld in "Comfortably Numb" chorus in the middle of this performance was smooth.
Something about this man always touches my heart & soul..
He always knows how to do a cover like no one else.
He feels what he sings & plays....

Was that kool was thinking of all my friends who are no longer with us brang a tear to my eye 👁️ man Iiss all you guys RIP
Such a great tune for them to play. "Wish You Were Here" melted into "Comfortably Numb" and back to "Wish You Were Here"....love it!
I wrote these lyrics out for my mom who could play guitar and sing but she never played this song...wish she was here now, God I miss her so much. I was 17 when she died, could not function in society for months after that, got stuck everywhere I went. I remember just listening to this and Queen in my room and would not open the door for anyone...Can't wait to see you again mom, I love you!!!
Thank you for that special memory. That is what is so great about music.
Probably the most versatile performer ever....just remarkable. Thank you Warren
Versatile performer. The Master of all Trades.
The only performer I've seen on that level was Chris Cornell who was probably a better singer but less competent on the guitar. Two guys who would have sounded great together.
Waters’ lyric is so incredibly powerful. We each take that journey, looking for what we’ve lost, but you can never go home. Thank you Warren
Some of that was from Syd Barrett. .According to Waters. Cheers. !
I remember that was the last show I saw with my last brother. I miss them both.
Gone now, but not forever
On july the 28th 2021 my girlfriend of 17 years died after a month long coma,I dont know if she ever heard me after she went into the hospital,her favorite band was floyd and one of my most favorite living musicians is warren. Candy cooper baby I love you and I miss you and WISH YOU WERE HERE💔
My dad would have loved to hear this. I wish I found it sooner. Rest in peace dad, I wish you were here. 03/29/2021
First time I watched Warren do this song was right after Woody died. Very touching. When I first saw Govt Mule it was Warren, Matt and Woody. It was one of the best shows I had ever seen. You could see the brotherhood these guys shared. RIP Allen Woody.
If I could reach beyond the veil, I would give this one to my nephew, his mother (my sister) , my mother and father ... God rest his soul (Antony)~
God rest their souls!
Lost my mom at age 51. Lost my brother 5 years later at age 24. This was there favorite song. It’s been over 20 years sincethere gone. I certainly wish they were here. Awesome cover
Warren is a great guy. Hell of a guitarist too.
Yes. The first time I met him was at a biker rally, he was twenty and playing in David Allen Coe’s band. Years later I partied with he and Woody after a show at the Cabooze in Minneapolis. Except for both of us being older and fatter he hadn’t changed from that down to earth 20 year old.
This man is one of the best...a legend who's legacy goes back at least to the days when he played with the Allman Brothers Band. He keeps the great tunes of yesterday alive, along with new ones he writes today.
He played with David Allen Coe through the late 70's early 80's.
I lost my sister and my best friend about 6 years ago. He was a musician and we played a recording of him playing this at his funeral. A sea of tears followed. I cry every time I hear this song now.
Sorry Jim. Loss is so hard!
@@jerrycooper6033 Thank you. Both of them were so young too. My sister 53 and buddy 58.
feel ya Bro, the pain of loss never goes away 💓👥
@Jim M....I’m really sorry 😣 for your loss. I know you miss your sister and your best friend. They’re so lucky 🍀 to be away from this COVID-19 crap, and the cold 🥶 weather. That doesn’t ease the pain of your broken heart 💔 They both know how much you love and miss them. Remember, we’ll all meet again, and what an awesome 😎 party 🎉 🎈that will be🙋🏽♀️💕
I love that man so much. He seems so humble to possess such perfection in his craft.❤
Wow.... I see the date is in august 2020..while we are now in 2024..listening to this song performed by two great musicians, singing this song as should, like an anthem or, dare I say a private prayer..with the audience. This song stays forever , while time is speeding by like a bullet train. What a moving performance..thx!!!
Bring it on home Warren....Liked the Pink Floyd version. Loved Warren's rendition; he always forces the true emotional context of a song.
Pink Floyd didn’t do a version ! it was their song and it was their lyrics which made the emotional force of these two songs
Check out the Gat Brothers, two Orthodox rabbis in Jerusalem. I was amazed that an acoustic and a Stratocaster could do it.
Candid, also add Warren’s rendition of Van Morrison’s “Into The Mystic” with Derek Trucks.
This was the first song I heard on the radio right after my father died. My dad was 60 and just passed away in his sleep, no warning. My dad played in band in highschool and 20-30s. In his time a local fav. My dad loved this music this band well both bands represented in this recording. And I am my father's daughter, and I live in the wrong era i believe. 7/27/17 miss you Daddy
I'm sorry for your loss. 60 isn't enough.
But, please, remember all of the killer music he turned you on to. That feeling will be there for you forever.
So sad, wats known as classic rock so many are gone. I still listen to at 66 That was my world away frm this world. I am comfortably numb & a different place when I listen to the lyrics & sounds of ol! Gosh, how I wish “they “ were all here still. Only in my mind now-Will live will their sounds forever! The best! No one could compare to what was n still remains for those who were there
so so true!!
.....and thinking of my beloved wife Dawn, passed away November 11, 2018. How many times did I play this song to her, and now I play it for her....!!! 💔
The lyrics to this song are so strong. Cold comfort for change? Hot ashes for dreams? Hot air for the cool breeze? So many ways to apply to whatever situation you find yourself in. Obviously it struck a spot with Warren.
Yes Roger Waters is a genius. A lot of people don't know he wrote virtually all lyrics and almost the entire album bc the other guys were so fucked up at the time. That's actually what Wish You Were Here is about. His longing for them to be present bc the former band frontman, Syd Barrett, had already ruined himself on acid and was back living at home with his parents.
Shine on You Crazy Diamond is about Syd.
Pretty ironic bc I think did most of us had some magical experiences with Pink Floyd and most every drug ever thought up. At least that was HIS side of the story. I know Rick Wright was actually paid as a session musician when recording "The Wall" bc he was so bad off the only way they could get him to show up was if they paid him by the hour. Again that's the behind the scenes gossip. So who really knows, but if you go back and listen to a lot of the lyrics you can begin to see where that makes sense.
Hot ashes for trees. But still amazing lyrics. Waters is a genius.
@@NickDonellan I agree with the genius of Waters, though it took me almost 2 decades to appreciate it. Gilmour has always been my favorite guitarist, since I got Momentary Lapse of Reason for my 14th or so birthday. But even recently did I find out his wife had written a lot of his lyrics, leaving Waters the true head of Floyd. So much drama within such a band of brilliant minds, but I guess that is to be expected. I'm so glad they are still pushing young minds to experience the gold they recorded, and Waters is still releasing some studio tracks.
@@fuzzybunny4muny I recently saw footage from the Roger Waters, Us And Them-Tour on television. The recorded concert is available as BluRay etc. and there's parts from it here on YT. What I found striking is how many rather young fans were in the audience. Great music like this apparently conquers generation after generation.
@@fuzzybunny4muny yeah I'm actually in the same boat. It took me 25 years to realize just how much of a genius he is. I think there are things you can only learn to truly appreciate once you've reached middle age bc you just don't have the life experience and wisdom to analyze the philosophical and political nature of his lyrics. It's hard even describing what I mean without sounding like an unqualified intern at rolling stone or that old hippie that sits entranced in the drum circle at every jam band festival, probably ever.
Quite possibly the best song ever made, covered by one of the coolest guys ever. Thanks for posting this. It’s epic.
From the Emerald Isle of Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪, bless you Warren and Louis, magical performance,
I remember 18 years ago when I had just had the great fortune to have met my wife and we went to Hotel Budir in Iceland. The troubadour of that evening started this tune and there was a an extra guitar onstage so I casually picked it up, giving him a nod, and we delivered a magical version of this beautiful song. Everyone was just shell shocked, nobody more than myself. I knew the tune and all but never felt that I could deliver it myself live as it is so damned good in the original version. This version in the video is very nice as well, but remember that when you play for love, anything can happen… even magic.
The right song at the right time can be very emotional and bring on the tears 😢but on the other hand can be so healing ! I love this guy ! 🙏✌️❤️🎸
I wish all my family was hear,I'm 69 years young ..but I wish they and all the people that didn't like me that are all gone I wish they were here you learn about forgiveness as we all get older.
It's the song i always play to people if they ask me to play something on the guitar. Recognizable to most people. Makes them all shut up and listen.
He who lives in the song will live forever,even when there is no longer any universe to live within.
Love this idea
And as It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" Hebrews9:27.
Maybe change your bong water once in while, eh bud?
@@scottstewart9584 actually I'm a Christian who was saved many years ago and I'm constantly focused on getting as many lost sheep as possible back to the flock. Sounds like you're calling out into the abyss for God's nurturing love and direction. The Bible is a blueprint and a roadmap for your journey through life and your transition to the almighty kingdom of God. Contact your local churches and they will help get you on the path of righteousness and knowing the unconditional love of the heavenly father. Your journey is waiting for you. Which path will you take ?
I'm no sheep, George and not in need of saving.
My Lovely Daughter Aged 33 passed away 6th July 2020, God I Wish You Were Here!!
So sorry
Thank You 🙏🏻
For my mom and dad. I miss you both terribly.
That's my favorite pink Floyd's tune, but Warren does it well❤
Hello nice to meet you it Warren
That brought a tear to my eye miss my son so much
One of the Greatest guitar players, entertainers of all time! Thank you, Warren for all you’ve given.
I understand this perfectly. It’s one of several songs that are so deeply personal to me that I cannot sing them without my voice breaking down. Warren is an amazing talent. ❤️
This goes to my husband that passed away 35 years ago at 12:20 in the morning at the age of 35. How oh how I wish he were here.❤️❤️❤️
🦋🦋🦋
Hello how are you doing it nice seeing you here ?
My son also passed away a few years ago in a hospital in Amarillo on a cold day. My daughter played this in hospital room.
The amount of comfort and loss of this song is unimaginable. One ❤️
For the memory of Syd Barrett... Rest in peace genius...
I think this was in memory of Greg Allman not Syd!
@@sadday101 sorry I meant the song was originally for Syd Barrett.
@@truthseeker9243 not according to Roger Waters who wrote it. Shine on You Crazy Diamond is about Syd, not this one.
@@craigkerr2764 that's true. Syd spent some of the time in the studio as roger played his heart out holding a toothbrush steady and jumping up and down brushing his teeth. And when roger asked how he liked it he replied "sounded quite odd didn't it"
@@truthseeker9243 this song is not about Syd Barrett . The song Shine On ... Is about him . Wish you were Here is about one's self as explained by Waters.
A good friend passed away last year and the original song was playing when I walked into the viewing. Man that was tough.
That's what you call a master class musician boy's and girls 🙏
Thinking about many lost friends, and today, 17 February 2021, my friend Rush whom I didn't get to meet, left today..... Thanks and Blessings!
You need to get some better people as friends. The guy was one of the foremost hatemongers of his time.
@@crusheverything4449 look in the mirror!
@@tmaddrummer - The fact that you think my comment is equivalent to the racist, hate-ridden bullshit that poured out of Limbaugh’s filthy mouth for decades speaks to what kind of person you are. What did Rush Limbaugh ever do to improve your life? He spread hatred and division for the sole purpose of lining his own pockets. What a hero. 🙄
All the accolades for the man fail to acknowledge that he got famous and rich on hate and lies.
@@crusheverything4449 maybe your handle should be Hate Everything?
This Tune always gets me too! Warren is one of the biggest talents out there. Gov't Mule, Allmans' Solo, What a force. Thanks for sharing. Peace everyone.
He also played with David Allen Coe back in the late 70's early 80's
To my beloved brother Scott, I wish you were here, life just is not good without you in it brother
Hello Sandra,
How’re you doing?
I’m so sorry for your loss, I hope you found inspiration and peace in my songs.
It’s nice meeting you here🌹
Thank you for asking and to answer that, days go bye, and I struggle with finding reasons. I continue to go on, remembering and quietly moving forward most days, but you never stop the empty feeling that loss has built in innately.
Hello how are you doing it nice seeing you here ?
Allen Woody was my best friend when I lived in Nashville and I met Warren a few times. He’s always puts on a great show.
In memory of my brothers I miss very much 😢
Hello how are you doing it nice seeing you here ?
Bloody hell, what I wouldn't give for a live show right now.
I heard you I did, they cancelled Dave Grohl, not once, twice and didn't even give me a refund, bastards.
Man I have said the same thing .last show I seen tab Benoit , December 28 2020., and that was the 3rd time I seen him that year .truly aching to see a show
@@tombstone1841 You got robbed twice, man. That sucks.
And some thai food,
It is always a great pleasure when talented, great players pay tribute to the finest songwriters, something alchemical happens and we are transported, we are made finer and more worthy for the listening.
This guy is all class. No matter who song it is or was he will put his touch of class to yet. Under rated performer is an understatement. One of our best from our generation hopefully the next will enjoy his music also.
we are and we wont let his music die..
Played this at my dear friend Jimmy's wake.... RIP my friend.
God Bless ya, man. And RIP to your friend. I had to stop playing it for years after the passing of of one of my dearest friends.

Was one of a friend's favourites. Lost him to Covid in Jan this year and played it at his funeral service. I know exactly how you feel. RIP to those loved ones we have lost
Pure and simple talent, no gimmicks just talent
I lost my younger brother 23 years ago. We weren't twins,but our minds were. It was uncanny how we could be on the same page even tho we lived 210 miles apart. We both lived and breathed music,most any kind - rock,country,jazz,soul. But we tended to perfer Rock...Heavy Rock/Prog Rock. He was lead vocalist for a local band in Ft.Worth . Dallas/FTW always had lots of name band shows and my brother and his connection would always come up with killer seats. Front row YES, Front row Pink Floyd,third row Jethro Tull...on and on between 1975 - 2001. Dozens and dozens of very up close shows for the biggest names. Some back stage passes and some very interesting stories. The first Pink Floyd show, they did a rousing rendition of "Wish you were here". The second PF show they played it again. We both loved WYWH. Both of us considered it one of PF's best, very special to both of us. My brother had liver cancer and never told me .He didn't want me to see him in such bad shape. Said he'd call me after he finished his chemo and we'd get together then. But his cancer was worse than they thot. I talked with him on the phone 2 days before he lost his battle with the disease. He was trying hard to sound normal,like the old days. We needed to be together again,one last time. But it wasn't to be. His last words to me were 'Wish you Here,my brother' . Hung up the phone,went out and got in my pick-up,had to get to the Liquor store quick. The radio came on and was just beginning to play - you guessed it: Wish you were Here. How I wished I was there.
GREAT I m sad on christmas eve i wish alot of people were here. PEACE
So glad to have gone to college in the late 80’s early 90’s in milledgeville Ga right in between Macon and Athens Ga man the music I saw between those two towns was unbelievable
Georgia is the bomb in so many ways!
Lazy summer days fishing Lake Sinclair. Good times
This show was amazing in itself but when Warren did this song I was in tears...
How could tears not flow..so beautifully done..
WOW, thta was one if not the best tribs to to song i have ever heard.
To my Eugene. The love of my life. My baby. I miss you..
One of my all time favorite Humans. His playing has brought so much joy to these ears. I wish we were all at the Denver Fillmore dancing to your music. Thanks Warren.
November 8, 2020 the day my Dad that started his downward spiral to the end. He died on December 12, 2020 at 86 years old. He was a big fan of Warren Haynes. Wish you were here, Dad.
Hell yeah count me in .
@@gunsknives5395 many blessings
Still damn good 😍
Played this song at my brothers funeral great song 👍
You and I both did. Can't play it without something getting in my eye.
Sorry for your loss. I know how that feels everyday so I try to do things he liked to do to help ease the pain.🎼
Great choice for your brother 🙏
The beauty of life and saintly people that share it! THANKYOU
Floyd is forever no current could even come close to this masterful, magnificent, all encompassing, most beautiful ever
Hello how are you doing it nice seeing you here ?
This is brilliant. Pure talent. Memorizing. Tranquility.
Good to see Warren looking and playing so well.
The first two songs I learned on my acoustic. Still love playing them.
Same here. Grew up in the 70-80's. Whilst all the kids were listening to the likes of Duran duran etc, we were stoned listening to Floyd, Zepplin, Deep purple. That's what got me into geetar in the first place.
Pink Floyd shaped my life...thank you.
