The Story of Wish You Were Here is a direct-to-video documentary about the making of Wish You Were Here album by Pink Floyd. After being shown on a few television channels, such as BBC Four, it was released on 26 June 2012, on DVD and Blu-ray.

The film gives an extensive insight of concept, recording the songs and designing the album cover. It includes exclusive interviews with almost every key person, who participated in producing the album. It is the second Pink Floyd documentary by Eagle Rock, the previous being The Making of the Dark Side of the Moon (2003).

The band is represented by all three surviving members – David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters. Other participating people include: Joe Boyd, Venetta Fields, Jill Furmanovsky, Roy Harper, Brian Humphries, Peter Jenner, Nick Kent, Aubrey Powell, Ronnie Rondell Jr. (who depicted the "burning man" on the original cover), Gerald Scarfe, and Storm Thorgerson.

The film is about 59 minutes long, with 25 minutes of additional interviews. These also include footage of Roger Waters and David Gilmour performing some excerpts from the original songs, while Brian Humphries, the album's sound engineer, plays back the original sound tapes from Abbey Road Studios archives.

Synopsis

Deux ans après le succès de leur album de 1973 The dark side of the Moon, les membres des Pink Floyd – Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright et Nick Mason – se retrouvent aux mythiques studios d’Abbey Road pour enregistrer leur prochain opus. Pièce maîtresse de ce nouvel album-concept, le long morceau en neuf parties "Shine on you crazy diamond", consacré à Syd Barrett, membre fondateur et génie torturé, qui dut quitter le groupe en 1968. Dès sa sortie, Wish you were here se hisse en tête des charts anglais et américains. Ce film revient sur la genèse de l’album et sur les sessions d’enregistrement, qui ne furent pas de tout repos. Des interviews exceptionnelles de Roger Waters, David Gilmour et Nick Mason, et de leurs collaborateurs – comme Storm Thorgerson, concepteur de la pochette – sont complétées d’archives, notamment un entretien avec Richard Wright, décédé en 2008.

La tournée révolutionnaire. Les cinq membres originaux du groupe Alice Cooper filmés en direct. Le show de 1973 "Billion Dollar Babies" était la première du genre. Aucun autre groupe n'avait jamais apporté une production théâtrale plus chère et plus élaborée sur la scène rock - et en a rarement eu depuis. "Good To See You Again" a été réalisé lors de la tournée Billion Dollar Babies qui combine de superbes séquences de concert avec une histoire scandaleuse, et présente également les débuts d'acteur du groupe.

This documentary was filmed over the course of a year [1] and shows five of Dolly's most avid fans as they follow her career. Dolly Parton's upbeat attitude, sense of humor and great talent allow her to inspire fans across the country. The film is made up of interviews, footage of daily life, trips to Dolly concerts and pilgrimages to Dollywood, the Dolly Parton theme park. The film documents the ways that Dolly's fans exhibit not only their adoration for Dolly, but also their need to be close to her, literally following her career as they travel to as many venues where she makes appearances as possible. For the Love of Dolly shows that fandom can give meaning to some people's lives, but it can also overwhelm the lives of others.
