That is magnificent. That violin gives the song even more a sense of sadness. That wailing soulful violin is haunting and gives the song even more power.
Song Introduced by my friend, tune loved by my dad, met my future husband-agreed on one song for first wedding dance- found this version, the rest is history. Could listen to it over and over, sometimes with smiles. Sometimes with tears. But always with love. Special place xx
I’m so sorry for your loss Loriellen. It is so painful after such a lifelong love. However I hope you feel glad to have had such love in your life, I am, and while this song still makes me cry it also reminds me I was lucky to have been part of the Pink Floyd generation. Sending you hugs from Australia. ❤
Two of my absolute all time favourites, playing together. Stéphane Grappelli of the Quintette du Hot Club de France, has to be THE all time great jazz violinist, playing with David Gilmour, one of the finest classical rock guitarists ever. Pure heaven.
@@mariorodriguez-alonso4864 It's unusual for Pink Floyd not to have it "bang on right". Superb musicianship... although Roger Waters admits his bass playing was not on par with the other members.... His bass work is only fantastic, not quite otherworldly. Fortunately, his songwriting is about... second to none.
I love how he didn"t jazz it up but stayed close to the folkish bluesy aspect of this song. True master. Shame they did not release this on the original.
+Nima Ardestaani I like the Gilmour thing a lot, anyway. I'm obliged to like this version a little more because I'm a massive Django Reinhardt fan, but I think either way the track is a masterpiece.
This is OMG, so soaringly beautiful that even on multiple listenings, I find myself in arrested movement, eyes closed, wrapped up in a time and space elevated above anything else I may have been doing previously. I can only describe it as "Heroic."
If I am not mistaken this is included in the WYWH 2011 box set. I own the set but haven't pulled it out to give it a gander and listen for five or six years now and after listening to this It's time for me do so and test it out on my new audio gear i got for my computer. My parents got me into Pink Floyd they would usually put on PF after they would get into an argument. As a kid i didn't pay much attention to the band until i was about fourteen or fifteen. This album or Dark Side was the first PF CD i bought with my own money in 2001 and after that never looked back and bought nearly every PF album on CD and record. When i first heard this alternate cut of the song it brought me to tears, the album version sometimes does since the lyrics make me think of family members that have passed on and wishing they were still here.
Honestly, this is the definitive version of this song just because the guitar just sounds so magnificent and the violin goes great as well. Of course it is sort of a demo, but if I were in that studio in 1975 I would've went with this version and worked on it to make it a truly finished song.
I don't know if it's the new mix, and the reworked dynamics, but this version seems stronger than the 'official' album version; the form makes more sense, it's less monotonous, it seems like happy nostalgia, a sort of 'saudade'. It made me love the song again, it was one of my favourite songs in my teen years.
Una toma alternativa del inmortal tema Wish You Were Here de Pink Floyd interpretado al violín por el genial y virtuoso Stephane Grappelli fue grabada en 1975, y se pensaba que la toma ya no existía, que por despiste habían grabado sobre ella. Afortunadamente, se descubrió que la versión no había sido borrada, qe se había salvado. Fue publicada en 2012 en Pink Floyd: Reissue Project.Nick Mason, baterista de Pink Floyd, siempre ha opinado que esta es la versión que debería haber sido publicada en el álbum original de 1975."Creo que esa fue la joya de la corona en particular", dice Mason. "Supuse que se había perdido para siempre. Pensé que habíamos grabado sobre ella. Es maravilloso que todavía exista."Mason dice que la colaboración surgió de casualidad, con Grappelli trabajando en un estudio próximo. Dice que la leyenda del jazz simplemente se detuvo junto a la puerta de su estudio para saludar, y alguien tuvo el valor de decir:" ¿Te gustaría tocar con nosotros un rato?'" Desafortunadamente, Grappelli, quien saltó a la fama con Django Reinhardt en 1930 en los tiempos del Quintette du Hot Club de Francia, murió en 1997 - mucho antes de que su trabajo en "Wish You Were Here" viese finalmente la luz. "No puedo aun entender por qué no la utilizamos en su momento", agrega Mason. "Es precioso, creo."
@@corporalclegg5057 an alternative take of the immmortal song Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd, played the violin by the great and virtuous Stephane Grappelli, was recorded in 1975, and they thought that the shot no longer existed, because by mistake they recorded on it. Fortunalety, they discovered that the shot had not been deleted, it was saved. It was releasd in 2012 on Pink Floyd: Ressisue Project. Nick Mason, Pink Floyd drummer, has always opined that this is the version what should it be in the original albúm of 1975. ''I think that was the crown jewel in particular'', he say about it. It´s wonderful that it still exists. ''Mason says that the collaboration arose by chance, with Grappelli working in a nearby studio. Mason says that the jazz leyend just stopped in the door of their studio, just to say hi, and someone had the courage of say: ''Would you like to play with us for a while?'' Unfortunalety, Grappelli, who rose to fame with Django Reinhardt in 1930, in the times of ''Quintette du Hot Club'' of France, was dead in 1997 - long before his work in ''Wish You Were Here'' finally saw the light. ''I can´t understand yet why we don´t use it at the time'' add Mason. ''It´s beautiful, i think''. Sorry, i did my best
@@corporalclegg5057 Thanks for the suggestion, but, Google translate it if you want to understand; it's pretty easy. The whole world does not use English, nor should they. I get where you're coming from, in that I enjoy reading comments from others a great deal, but, it's easy to figure out these days. Cheers.
Wish the violin was incorporated into the final cut, there a few parts where it doesn't fit but overall it sounds great, especially around the 4:10 section
My thoughts also, I've always appreciated the soft soulful sound of the song itself, and when played along with three or four guitars, a banjo (!?), and and violin (but softly) this song can overwhelm a room. For me, Grappelli overpowers the song and diminishes it's overall feeling when he 'lays into it.
I'm from that era myself, always big fan and love this song. I think this is awesome, If I had to call the shots I'd say add this one too.Like bookends, one at the start of the album,other at the end.
Did you know that you can actually listen to Grappelli's playing at the very end of WYWH "normal" version. It's very soft but if you try hard, you can !
Exquisito. Un placer fronterizo para una noche de comienzos y finales. La fuerza de la música en estado puro. Creo que es la banda sonora original de la vida. Ese violín es el llanto de un recién nacido y la trompeta del Apocalipsis.
For the life of me I can't understand why this wasn't used for the album. It would have changed the feel, not that there's anything wrong with it as it is. But this version is absolutely Stunning! That's probably the first time I've ever described something as Stunning. Maybe the label had something to do with it
Uff Uff Por un lado el bello de punta. Por otro, es un tema -y un disco- TAN escuchado que cuesta (mentalmente) encajarlo en en LP original. Con todo y con eso, estremece el violín
That is magnificent. That violin gives the song even more a sense of sadness. That wailing soulful violin is haunting and gives the song even more power.
The violin starts at 3:06 and indeed greatly enhances the feel of the piece, the sadness, soulfulness and haunting quality, as you say.

Came here to listen tonight, one year ago today my husband of 41 yrs died unexpectedly! 😭

Stunning--a long-time favorite of mine--the addition of The Master,--Stephane Grappelli--nearly makes me weep. Pure beauty
MIKE PERKOVICH The master, indeed!
I did weep. Couldn't help it.
Two of my absolute all time favourites, playing together. Stéphane Grappelli of the Quintette du Hot Club de France, has to be THE all time great jazz violinist, playing with David Gilmour, one of the finest classical rock guitarists ever. Pure heaven.
I love the hall effect and the violin. IMHO, this is the best cut of this song I've ever heard.
I'm with you on this! It's awesome ... the violin gives me chills ...
and that part when the drums and bass come on song. The timing could not have been better. Bang on right.
thank you, I noticed that too and I was searching to see if others felt the same
The hall effect implies emptiness, thus absence, the pivotal topic of the album. I love it too.

+Nima Ardestaani I like the Gilmour thing a lot, anyway. I'm obliged to like this version a little more because I'm a massive Django Reinhardt fan, but I think either way the track is a masterpiece.
They thought they recorded over it and lost it. It was found recently, that's it...
I agree utterly. Makes a heartbreaking song even more heartbreaking--and somehow triumphant at the same time.
They wanted it to be as simple as possible
Dave didn't want to be outshone? :P
This song has been elevated from "one of my favorites" to "my all-time favorite!
This is OMG, so soaringly beautiful that even on multiple listenings, I find myself in arrested movement, eyes closed, wrapped up in a time and space elevated above anything else I may have been doing previously.
I can only describe it as "Heroic."
I've never heard this verson before and I am a massive fan of Stephane Grapelli, master of the jazz violin.
... and 300 £.
Just when you thought one of the world's most beautiful, profound, and uplifting songs couldn't get any better...they release this version
This is the original
If I am not mistaken this is included in the WYWH 2011 box set.

Really nice. It's so great to hear people coming along all these years later and still being moved deeply. Cheers, PearlJammer07.
Also on the 2-CD edition of the album.
I just wish this went on forever...
Oh yesssss……
Pure perfection 😊
One of my favorite songs, this is my favorite version. It is brilliant and sublime and I am so glad that what was lost is found.
This is amazing. HOW have I not heard this version before? Amazing, truly.
Honestly, this is the definitive version of this song just because the guitar just sounds so magnificent and the violin goes great as well. Of course it is sort of a demo, but if I were in that studio in 1975 I would've went with this version and worked on it to make it a truly finished song.
It's not a demo, It's a fully realised version
@@Syfoll and it sounds as the violinist is improvising on the base for the first time. Good they left it out of the album.
Incredibly beautiful…
Masters of their arts jamming. AWESOME
He hits jazz notes and is fluid. That's why it's magnificent
I don't know if it's the new mix, and the reworked dynamics, but this version seems stronger than the 'official' album version; the form makes more sense, it's less monotonous, it seems like happy nostalgia, a sort of 'saudade'. It made me love the song again, it was one of my favourite songs in my teen years.
I think it’s the cymbals, they’re more crashy lol
Referring to Césaria Évora's "Sodade"? Yes, agree, makes sense, beautifully.
Also sounds like a cleaner 12 string sound in the intro here. Very cool to hear all of this!
PF &SG Was our wedding song nearly 9 years and still love listening to it xxx

this was uploaded on my birthday, this was a great version, best birthday present ever ;)
The Master returns just like when I heard him play in Norway in 1988
Phenomenal - the violin brings such a special quality to the song
And I thought this song couldn't be better. Thank you, Stephane Grapelli!
Never going to stop loving it........
AMAZING Grappelli touch !!!!
Wish the violin was incorporated into the final cut, there a few parts where it doesn't fit but overall it sounds great, especially around the 4:10 section
Absolutely agree. Grappelli gets a bit too busy towards the end.

i really love this song, played with violín. Amazing job guys. Thank you for sharing
I am really STUNNED with this piece of history!!
This one nails when youre in the mood for love
I'm from that era myself, always big fan and love this song. I think this is awesome, If I had to call the shots I'd say add this one too.Like bookends, one at the start of the album,other at the end.
THE BEST CUT EVER OF THID GREAT SONG!
Maravillosa versión!!

Armand ESQUIER Yup!
Yeah, I'd always heard that was the case, but I could never make it out.
Matthew Gelfer Same here. I guess I just don’t have the ear for it.
Being able to hear the fiddle on the song is pretty cool. Wish Pink Floyd would’ve turned it up more in the original mix.
Thank you for uploading in such good Quality...
Bella esecuzione con Grappelli. Ma grazie!
Excellent and timeless..
ביצוע שונה, עשיר ומדהים!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exquisito. Un placer fronterizo para una noche de comienzos y finales. La fuerza de la música en estado puro. Creo que es la banda sonora original de la vida. Ese violín es el llanto de un recién nacido y la trompeta del Apocalipsis.
The woo makes the whole song. ❤
Che meraviglia! Grazie!!
This is just fantastic
Lovely. The violin adds a subtle value to the piece.
Maravilha! Um dos meus grupos favoritos com o violinista que venero. Obrigada.💖🙏
Finally. I've heard about this forever but never heard it. I think on the album you can hear a tiny tiny bit of it if you try on the fade out.
For the life of me I can't understand why this wasn't used for the album. It would have changed the feel, not that there's anything wrong with it as it is. But this version is absolutely Stunning! That's probably the first time I've ever described something as Stunning. Maybe the label had something to do with it
Try some Bach or Mozart you'll be stunned on a regular basis.
Pink Floyd avait atteint la perfection de la musique ,depuis on ne fait que régresser
SIMPLY GORGEOUS 💕
i really enjoy this wonderful &well done vídeo, escorted by inspired sounds, lyrics, thank you very muchos guys
I had not hear it and it is just great congratulations!!

The 2017 Mathias Levy version in Andernos is a must
Espectacular, hubiese quedado de lujo en el lp
Wow that was awesome, not very ofter I hear an adjustment to a floyd tune but that hit the mark, thanks for postibg it . Peace
Ugodno je i odmara!!
Wow this is a treat to hear, thanks for the upload!
Il lamento del violino sottolinea la grande assenza di Syd
wonderful
Masterpiece
This bring me alive.
This is just fabulous, I wish I know how to play guitar so that I can sing out loud. I can impress you all!.😀
Working title of the song was Squire of Royden (where David lived in England at the time).
beauty
Dog´s Bollocks. I always loved and I´ll always will love this song.
This is crazy. Imagine Django with Pink Floyd. That'd be insane.
*@Jonh .Kra...💙🌺🌺🌺🌺💙Lindooo Demais esse vídeo maravilhoso amooo!!! Bjsss!😘😘😘Salve! Salve! Salve! 👑👑👑PINK FLOYD👑👑👑♥️♥️♥️😘😘😘 THANK YOU SO MACH!🎩💙🎩*

amazing
Brilliant!!!
It's perfect!
The best Song Forever
I shall keep this link on my account for ever.....
To get a musician like Grappelli involved too? How much icing can you have on one cake?
3:05 If you want to go right to the violin entering
It’s good they left it out in the final.
Excelente !!!
Gracias...
brilhant version! R.ip Rick,Syd and Grapelli!
perfect
Maravillosa
this song takes me away.
There is a tube video of Celtic Pink Floyd .... very good, too
with the violin it reminds me of the Firefly title track
gzaq same! Not the song obviously but the play between the twang of the guitar and steamy cry of the violin
Uff
Uff
Por un lado el bello de punta.
Por otro, es un tema -y un disco- TAN escuchado que cuesta (mentalmente) encajarlo en en LP original.
Con todo y con eso, estremece el violín
I'm literally crying
Linda demais Amor
I read about this version on great Nick Mason's "Inside Out" book. please get one for a really enlighten and enriching knowledge of inner Floyd life
Was much better second listening for me. I really dig it
I'VE BEEN TRYINH TO FIND THIS VERSON FRON MONTHS, I WAS ABOUT TO THINK IT WAS LOST MEDIA!!!!!!
i cried! ♥️ ♥️ ilove glam ♥️😢
