Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd Song) - Personnel

Personnel

  • Roger Waters - bass guitar, tape effects
  • David Gilmour - six and twelve-string acoustic guitars, pedal steel guitar, tape effects, lead and backing vocals
  • Richard Wright - Steinway piano, Minimoog
  • Nick Mason - drums, tape effects
  • Stéphane Grappelli - violin (There is a brief piece of violin playing at the end of the track which was subsequently all but drowned out by the addition of the wind effects, although if you listen closely or turn the volume up louder, starting at the 5:21 mark, the barely-audible violin can be heard. Grappelli was recording in a downstairs studio, and Gilmour had suggested that there be a little "country fiddle" at the end of the song. Grappelli duly obliged, although because his contribution is barely audible, the band decided not to credit him for it in the sleeve notes. According to Waters, he received the agreed fee of £300, however.)
