"'''Shine On You Crazy Diamond'''" is a nine-part [[Pink Floyd]] composition with lyrics written by [[Roger Waters]] and music written by Waters, [[Richard Wright (musician)|Richard Wright]], and [[David Gilmour]]. It was first performed on their 1974 tour. [http://www.geocities.com/cgwhitman2/pf/pf1974.html] It was recorded for the 1975 [[concept album]] ''[[Wish You Were Here (album)|Wish You Were Here]]''. The song was intended to be a side-long composition like "[[Atom Heart Mother (suite)]]" and "[[Echoes (1971 song)|Echoes]]," but the song grew longer than a single side of vinyl would allow. It was split into two parts and used to bookend the album.
