On the CD "IN THE FLESH", at the end of the song, "Wish You Were Here" Roger made a comment "how I wish "THEY" were here"
If he had said "how I wish "HE" was here" I would believe he was referring to Syd. Is he referring to David, Rick and Nick????

Hmmm...reminds me of Roger's "speech" at Live8 at the beginning of Wish you were here.
It was pretty mature of him to say that...it was something along the lines of
"It feels good standing up here with these 3 guys again" and he mentioned that Wish you were here was dedicated to Syd. Rather touching actually.

I hate to rain on everyones "premonition parade," but I think that was Roger's way of connecting with the crowd further.AtomHeartMomma wrote:On the CD "IN THE FLESH", at the end of the song, "Wish You Were Here" Roger made a comment "how I wish "THEY" were here"

To me, it translates as follows:
"Whomever was in your mind while that song was playing, I wish they could have been here, too."

Re: Roger's Question
It's way more likely that the 'they' he refers to were the casualties caused from the Kosovo war around that time.AtomHeartMomma wrote:On the CD "IN THE FLESH", at the end of the song, "Wish You Were Here" Roger made a comment "how I wish "THEY" were here"

Hard to listen to that song live and not think of someone you once knew or even still know but are nowhere near, so the 'they' refers to those the audience are surely thinking of
Got to say it's touching when you hear a live recording and the crowd are all singing along, each one of them reflecting upon someone else and joined in this big moment of thinking of them and others dear to the rest of the audience
