They're quite similar, but they're very simple patterns that are used in hundreds of songs. The technical term is arpeggio. The pattern is even a tiny bit like Believe Me. A difference is that Wish You Were Here arpeggios are chordal inversions in a single chord (I-I-I-I) whereas the Silver Springs intro is a I-I-IV-I pattern of inversions. But it's the warm air mass inversion that really cooks that tune & launches it into the stratosphere.

Oh, jeez. That's wrong! It's not arpeggios, it's just rolls. And all I meant to say was that "Wish You Were Here" was
I-I-I-I, while "Silver Springs" live was
I-I-IV-I.
