Roger Waters, Dave Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright retell how Syd's slip from reality haunted the band for many years and this is clearly demonstrated in the tracks 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' and 'Wish You Were Here'. There are also insights from former girlfriends, landlords, flatmates, producers, managers, friends and famous fans. Also featuring rare early footage of the band performing, including a live show at the UFO Club, and an appearance with former landlord Mick Leonard on "Tomorrows World".
