Acclaimed director John Edginton, with whom we conversed last year, has shared a heartfelt homage to Pink Floyd engineer Brian Humphries, who recently passed away. The tribute features excerpts from John’s documentary “The Story Of Wish You Were Here,” showcasing Brian at Abbey Road analyzing various multi-tracks and sharing his insights on songs such as Have A Cigar and Shine On You Crazy Diamond. This touching tribute can be viewed below.

A tribute to Brian Humphries with clips from my film “Pink Floyd: The Story of Wish You Were Here”. Pink Floyd recently reported the death of sound engineer Brian Humphries. He was a lovely guy who made a trip back to Abbey Road for the documentary. I put together this tribute to him.

Pink Floyd said of him “Brian worked with bands like Free and Traffic, before leaving Island Records to work exclusively for Pink Floyd. As part of his remit, he oversaw Britannia Row Studios in the late 1970s. He first worked with the band on the Ummagumma, Zabriskie Point and More recordings of 1969, and engineered the Wish You Were Here and Animals albums. In 1974 he became the band’s front-of-house sound mixer on their tour late that year, a role he continued in 1975, and in 1977, when he was also the tape effects technician.”
