These are the two parts of ''Echoes'' ,at the Pompeii , in one video .. 24'06''
Enjoy :-)
"Echoes"
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
And no one speaks
And no one tries
And no one flies around the sun
Cloudless every day you fall
Upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Comes streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I tore the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.
> Come to Pompeii > Set up a concert > Invite no one but a few tech guys > Play Echoes > Create a mind-boggling masterpiece > Pack your things > Leave > Refuse to elaborate > Never do anything quite like that again Truly a Pink Floyd moment.
Entirely understandable. Who likes people anyway? I sure dont
I sure as fuck wish there was a CD of this entire "concert" ... and, yeah ... who needs an audience while your crafting interstellar excellence.
there is no need for us mortals to ponder that which is beyond our imagination. we must only strive for the truth of it.
Glorious
Gilmour returned to Pompeii for a public concert in 2016..
Two weeks ago we visited Italy. My wife and I went to Pompeii. I spent an hour sitting on that hallowed ground in the amphitheater, back to the wall listening to Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii. It was an emotional experience. Tears streamed down my face and I didn't know why (Thank God for sunglasses). I wore that VHS tape out as a kid. I never imagined as a thirteen-year-old that at 51 years old I would be live at Pompeii listening to Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii. It was surreal. A top 5 moment in my life.
I remember walking with my brother and letting him have a listen to my Sony walkman and The Wall was playing.. He looked up all around.. looking for the helicopter. He was hooked! Was a Floyd fan till his death. RIP
❤️👏👏ciaooo!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁
Also my most-watched VHS ever. Had to by the DVD eventually.
Going to Pompeii for Floyd, instead of the Romans. I dig it 😊
At age 13 my parents forbade me to listen to this "noise. " I went underground.......today, at 62........ it has, and still is my saving grace when life pushes a bit hard....
Badass! It's the soul that matters
should have gone full on with "noise" and got into the metal scene
What do your parents listen to? 😅
That's cool. My friends parent got him The Wall in 1980. I was 9 years old I've loved 🎭 ever since
I can relate. It is my rescue place as well, when the black dog starts to bark.
Drugs don't make Pink Floyd Better, Pink Floyd make drugs better
I wish I had the kind of brain that could just get high and chill. Instead I get high and run around like Speedy Gonzales. This song makes me want to just get high, chill, and meditate.. Guess I can just skip the first part and chilling meditate w a clear mind ❤
Yes yes that's it😅

probably the realest comment i’ve ever read
Hey I agree drug's do make it better
anyone still listening in 2024? for me this is a masterpiece. one of the best representations of what music really is. love it
Right on man
was listening in december 2022, doing it right now and will do it somewhen again🎶👏
Yup
At 73, I still listen to this masterpiece once a week!
yep )
There are 2 types of people in this world: - Those who love this video - Those who have yet to see this video

You are legend grandpa!
hang in there buddy, we ain't got all that many of your generation left, I'm the from the one that came right after you and I'm still trying to figure out where the last 50 years went and I'm not looking forward to be oldest quite yet
Shine on you crazy diamond !
Can we sit down for a moment and appreciate how great Nick Mason's drumming is in this?
Thought the same. He really lets it fly the whole entire production
Yes, please!
Listen " one of these days...!
De fato o cara é único com seu estilo e harmonia musical. A música em total sintonia e harmônica! Surreal para a nova geração que dificilmente vão apreciar! Triste realidade! Bons tempos!
@@napoleonOliveros-fi1ix YES!! You were first before I could post that. If Us and Them is Rick's masterpiece the drums on One Of These Days is Nick going off in beast mode. Nick is just brutal. Plus he gets his only vocal in Floyd 😄
When I was in high school, at the age of 16, I used to go down to Pompei and sat on the amphitheater with my walkman listening to Meddle 'til late. Now, at the age of 42 I listen to this tune and I feel 16 again, lost in a timeless sensation....
thats cool you could go here /there but would have been outstanding to be there when they were doing this
did you hear the sounds of the faces in the croud?
Sara az permanently...;)
:')
Amen!!!!!!
The sound quality of this - in 1971! - is so superb that for me it's genuinely difficult to believe that it's not only live but in the open air. This could have been in a studio. Having read up on it, I found this: "Their roadie, Peter Watts, suggested that the 8-track recorder would produce a sound comparable to a studio recording. In addition, the natural echo of the amphitheatre provided good acoustics for the recording." Unbelievable.
Hi 👋, how are you doing?
Never underestimate the roadie
Spotify has better sound audio aswell
David Jon Gilmour. Without his freakish talent playing guitar, I do not know howw I would have made it thru a 6 year prison sentence. I listened daily for 6 yrs straight, and David and the rest of this magical band, THANKYOU FOR YOUR MUSICAL THERAPY SESSIONS. Better than any doctors or psychs Ive ever wasted my time seeing. Pink Floyd forever, and ever. NEVER EVER WILL THEY BE SURPASSED AS GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY. I DONT CARE WHAT ANY1 SAYS, COS THOUSANDS WILL AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY. LONG LIVE THE FLOYD.
"NEVER EVER WILL THEY BE SURPASSED AS GREATEST BAND IN HISTORY". Compared to really great academic musicians like Schoenberg, Shchedrin, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Schnittke and Messiaen, they are nothing more than children in short pants. IMHO.
@@andrewnegustorov6371 can you be more pretentious?
Your question is incorrectly posed - I'm not pretentious at all, but the post to which I reacted is really pretentious. "Never say never".
@ANDREWNEGUSTOROV637 YOUR COMMENT IS HARDCORE PRETENTIOUS, NO DOUBT AT ALL. IN MY IMHO, THE FLOYD ARE EPIC, AWESOMELY TALENTED, AND THATS FACT. SUCCESS OVER SUCH A LONG CAREER IS TESTAMENT TO THE FACTS I STATE. IT IS JUST AMAZING LONGEVITY IN A CUTTHROAT BUSINESS. FLOYD DIEHARDS, AM I SPEAKING FOR YOU ALL? I LISTEN TO A MASSIVE COLLECTION OF MUSICAL GENRES, IM FAR FROM ONE EYED, BUT AT THE TOP, IS P.FLOYD. WHY ARE U DISSING MY LOVE OF MY FAVORITE MUSIC, COMMENTING ABOUT PINK FLOYD LIVE PERFORMANCES, IF U DON'T LOVE THEM? PRETENTIOUS IS ONE WHO SITS BEHIND A PC AND SPEWS VERBAL DIARRHOEA FOR WHAT REASON? IRONICLY U COMMENT ABOUT MUSIC U SEEM TO DISRESPECT...USELESS TROLLING IS AN ATTRIBUTE YOU EXCELL AT....ADMIT IT, U CANT HANDLE THE FACT THAT U CANT ESCAPE THEIR MAGIC. ITS OK TO ADMIT YOUR A FAN. GOD BLESS, GOOD HAVING A BIT OF HARMLESS BANTER MATE. ALL THE BEST.
What a violent and, in my opinion, inadequate reaction to my post! I didn't say anything bad about Pink Floyd. I don't deny their magic at all and I actually like some of their studio albums ("Animals" more than others). But to claim that the group’s music is the most unsurpassed and will last forever is clearly too much. I contrasted the music of great academic musicians not in order to humiliate Pink Floyd, but to show that musical dimensions can be of a fundamentally higher level. And this is obvious, in my opinion. Let me add that I am not trolling, and if you take my words as “verbal diarrhea" that’s your choice. I specifically responded to the phrase “they are the best and this is forever” (in terms of semantic content).
I seriously think that every Pink Floyd fan knows that, eventhough songs of others albums like "Wish you where here", or "Comfortably numb" are more known, "Echoes" (specially this version) is the masterpiece of Pink Floyd
Yes, right alongside Dark Side Of The Moon, as a whole piece.
Everything they've done is absolutely Brilliant! Boomers have Always had the very Best Music!!!
Yes, indeed...
The only one you'll never hear played by Gilmore
Hmmm I think if you ask most Pink Floyd fans, their favorite track would be Atom Heart Mother.
This isn't one of the greatest moments in rock history. It's one of the greatest moments in human history.
Yes it is !!!***
I wanted to brush this off as you being wrong again, Rex. but i think you may have something here.
🎯🎯🎯🎯📢📢📢📢
?
I got Five Guys last night. It wasn't one of the greatest moments in food history. It was one of the greatest moments in human history.
Step 1: listen to this in full, eyes closed. Relax Step 2: when it finishes listen to the complete silence arpund you for 20min Step 3: enjoy the real "echos" in the silence... magic.
Step 1: take mushrooms. Step 2: turn up the volume Step 3: turn off the lights Step 4: enjoy 😉
The vocals coming back in at 19:00 is probably my favorite music moment of all time
Me too! The sound is perfect, an absolute masterpiece
@@ieuanowen8094 Agree
and ... the lullabies is SO Syd
The transition is so drastic, so smooth, and so incredible. Blows me away every time.
10 years ago, my brother and I visited Pompeii, we walked in that empty arena, sat down and played that song on my iPod…we both cried…It was a dream come true for us
pompei is my great city with VESUVIO Napoli
Me too, with a friend 6 years ago. Same sensations. :')
All Floyd fans should go there and close their eyes for a moment
How cool was that!!!! Wish I was there!!! (are you were here)
Damn... you just gave me the urge to do that too... must feel amazing
I've been listening to this for thirty years and I've only just realised that it is about time. The echoes are echoes of history. The strangers passing and calling to each other are people separated in time but basically the same as each other - unable to speak directly but able to write down what they know, and to read what people in the past have written. Pink Floyd wanted to do this in Pompeii because of the historical resonance - that our own civilization could be lost as Pompeii and the Roman Empire was. (God this is probably so obvious, sorry!) [Edit:] The deep sea is the deep past. (Just as it was in our past, in evolutionary history.) The sky is the future.
Never once have I ever thought about it like that. This is trully a very intelligent and beautiful analysis.
Damn.
you won the internet today sir!
Thank you.
No, it was a great observation. 👍🏼🤔☺️
the fact that this came out 52 years ago blows my mind. what were people even thinking when this came out? just unreal stuff. love this song and performance.
Ask Joey Diaz, he saw it at a theater high on acid, crazy times.
Hard to believe it has been that long.
The 70’s were really THE standout decade for an insane level of innovation and new music genres being founded. Prog, metal, punk, goth, shock rock, early forms of techno (Kraftwerk, for an example), the earliest forms of hip-hop, and all kinds of experimental music, even including the “classical” genre (one of my favourite composers is George Crumb, who did most of his most iconic works in the 60’a and 70’s. Ever played a piano by striking the string board with a glass rod with a bunch of paper clips stuck under the strings and the damper pedal tied down?…).
I was 13 and thought it was the most incredible song I'd ever heard. my kids will be tossing my ashes into the Atlantic while this song plays.
we were thinking we were listening to a masterpiece and we still are
I listened to Echoes hundreds of times. This alchemy of sounds is just magic and perfectly matches with the pictures of Rome's ancient ruins. Nothing like this will never be done again.
Rome? 🤔
Rome I mean Roman ruins. I know it is Pompeii: I have been there several times 🙂@@onthetracksof007
THE PINK FLOYD..THE ONLY GROUP OF MUSICIANS SO MASTERFUL AND MUSICALLY BRILLIANT EITHER SOLO BUT EVEN MORE WHEN I HEAR THE QUESTIONS ASKED BY KEYBOARD FOR EXAMPLE AND EXPLAINED IN MARIANA TRENCH DEPTHS OF FREAKISH DETAIL BY GILMOURS STRAT(I BELIEVE IT IS A STRAT, BUT IM NO EXPERT, I PREFER TO LISTEN TO A LEVEL OF TALENT NEVER B4 EXPERIENCED PRIOR TO THIS BAND)SO THE BRAND OF INSTRUMENT IS NOT REALLY RELEVANT, IT NEVER FAILS TOTAKE ME AWAY TO THAT PLACE ONLY FLOYD PURISTS KNOW! PINK FLOYD...LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF ALL, NEVER GROWING OLD NO MATTER THE FREQUENCY, IF ITS THE FIRST TIME OR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES. SOME PERSON WHO DOESN'T THINK GILMOUR AND FLOYD ARE UNDENIABLY UNTOUCHABLE, (MIND U WHY IS HE LOITERING IN A FLOYD PURISTS PLACE OF APPRECIATION?) TELLS ME NEVER SAY NEVER, AS I SAID THAT NEVER WILL THERE BE THIS LEVEL OF EPIC GUITAR PLAYING PERFECTION BY A PERSON , NEVER. WELL, I SAID IT AGAIN AND SO DID MANY PEOPLE. THANKS FLOYDISTS. WE SAY NEVER AND NEVER CAN WE BE SILENCED. THE GUITAR GOD HAS SPOKEN. FUCK YES.
Agree Massimo
Saw them live 1988 Docklands Arena: different level.
Floyd fans really are the best. No hate or debate amongst each other. We simply all agree that they're the Greatest band to ever grace the airwaves.
😊👏👌👍✌️
yes!
Pink Floyd es lo más grande que existió existe y existirá.nada se compara a pink floyd.todo lo que an echo es obras de arte magestuosas 🇦🇷
No one can do it like them.
That is a weird way to spell Rush.
Nick Mason gets very little credit, but the drumming during the funky section is outstanding!

This was back when they were all more cooperative.
True. Words such as masterpiece are often overused, but what other term is there to describe this stunning musical composition? Incomparable? Breathtaking?
Very true indeed, right up till the last Rift
I know, you're wright . I'm soon to be 79 ( God Willing), and LOVE listening. May God bless.
I want this played at my funeral, very loud and get quiet. Then maybe some people will appreciate what my life was like.
Rick Wright was truly amazing. Extremely crucial to the sound of the band yet he's so often overlooked. He really owns this performance.
Agreed, Waters and Gilmour get all the attention.
@@thomasschreiber9559 Well that is arguably deserved since they made far greater contributions.
@@seankilburn7200 Nah man, they were best when waters wasn't dictating shit and making lesser thematic albums. When all 4 were equal and free to right their own parts, the band was so much better.
@@Mjumbojetpresdent You may have a point to some degree (echoes being a good example) but on albums like wish you were here and even dark side of the moon to some extent, Waters still contributed far more than the others. They were all highly talented of course, but I feel many simply don’t enjoy the albums where waters took greater control because of his personality and the impact that had on the group. Even if you consider their collaborative work to be their best, there is no denying that Waters and Gilmour were the most consistent when it came to writing the songs.
@@seankilburn7200 Yeah, they were more consistent at writing the "hits." And I enjoy those albums, maybe besides the Wall, in which apart from a few good hits, Waters thematic desires really cheeses up the whole sound. But I think the direction they took towards more typical songwriting was what made them more accessible but also less interesting. Like, echoes and atom heart and obscured by clouds, etc, there was so much more exploration there that they never got back to. So yeah, those two were more pivotal in getting to the sound that has made them so universally iconic, but imo this sound was a detour from the experimental psych rock that had really no limit to its possibilities.
This is not a song. This is a mystical experience
What I find truly amazing... Is that they play for *no one*. There's no one in those seats. They call them in. They play for the dead - their echoes. It's the chef's kiss of an idea. I've been to Pompeii. I've walked those very ruins. Seen the preserved souls locked in stone boiled from their own blood. It's a haunting place. I can't imagine what that must have sound like... An hommage to more than themselves... Incredible...
Half a century later - I was too young at the time to know the band - I have the incredible priviledge of seeing this for the first time. Thank you KZhead.
Ha thats awesome. Welcome to Pink Floyd. It's off Meddle. Give it a listen, its great.
I was in Pompeii a couple of years ago. In spite of the ancient history, mostly what I thought of, standing in that amphitheater, was...." this is where Pink Floyd played!"
This comment shows just how important pink floyd is in human history, truly an experience.
Was there a couple of years ago myself.... And thought exactly the same as you....!!
Hell yes ! Its like a Christian going Isreal. But it would be " this is were Gilmore stood".
I think this sounds better recorded outdoors than inside any studio .
what year did the play there?
This is a song I’ll never get sick of no matter how often I listen to it
Yes, justice and peace
AMEN MY Friends.
It's not a song, it's a Symphony!
I've had it on repeat for over a week now. Yesterday I spent 8 hours lying on the sofa listening to Floyd. I ain't done yet.
I've listen to this masterpiece for more than 50 years. But when Mom departed, one year ago, I understood these verses: "and no one sings me lullabies, and no one makes me close my eyes..."
That's a line we take for granted when we first hear these guys as youths. Then, it becomes so many more things. Heavy.
This beautiful piece of music got me through some troublesome years. I bought it on DVD and watched it countless times at a time when I thought I might be hopeless. This isn’t just art, it’s magical
Trust in the Lord . Give Him praise. May God continue to Bless you and yours.
I've been playing guitar for 40+ years, and Gilmour's tone starting at 7:59 is still the best, most absolutely epic guitar sound I've ever heard.
Realmente, é fantástico,
It's insane. A epic guitarra just like in Interstellar Overdrive
It’s beautiful dude. I’m trying to match it, but i’ll probably never get it right sadly
Gilmour is such a Fn legend.
Yes. It’s to die for.
🥃 6 years of sobriety today and this masterpiece is still as great as it was the first time I heard it as a kid.
Congratulations sir
Good on You !
Well done you ❤
A hearty, hearty congratulations. I've been sober for a long while myself and it never gets old. Thank God I'm not doing what I was over a decade ago- and thank God you've found a better way to live. Keep on keepin' on, my friend.☮❤🕉
Nice! Best wishes.
Never was a Pink Floyd fan until now for the first time. Listen to this, truly magical. No drugs.
I Was at Pompei with my dearest girlfriend couple years ago. When I walked in the Amphitheater I could feel and relive ECHOES, also noted 2 Tunnels with Pink Floyd memorabilia and Photos before you entered the Amphitheater and couldn’t believe they were shut with gates to the public.I couldn’t help myself but Jump over and film both galleries, It was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience it’s something that I would cherish for the rest of my life. Long live Pink Floyd Pink Floyd Forever 🫶🏻
The best version of the best song ever recorded in human history

I concur.
@@shacklesofillusion indeedaloo, I command and concur as well, cheerio🍷

Can't argue with that statement 🙂
I think the Romans would be deeply honoured if they could have witnessed this performance
As an Italian, I strongly agree
They were and did! ;)
Or they may have had their hands over their ears going "what the hell is that noise?! That's not music!" - what we see as beautiful is not necessarily what someone from 2000 years ago would understand or appreciate! It would probably freak them out and the band would be speared and dead...sadly.
Richard Wright left this world 15 years ago, but his music will remain forever. Keep listening! 🤘🧙♂️🤘
Best piece of music I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing
This is the zenith of modern music. Must of watched this at least 200 times over the years. Never gets old. The keyboards of Rick answering back to Gilmour or Nick ripping back. No way to underestimate this masterpiece. Music will never be the same unfortunately.
Modern?? this is from the other Century.....
The "Zenith" you've mentioned Is the most accurate description of "the sense", "The mood" & "The loyalty" to Pink Floyd's "Ars Magna Philosophy" "Sadly but true" Music will nn be the same since that -"Zanith",,, Pink Floyd was just "The Sun" ...

Gino love it
Verdade, o que vemos e ouvimos hoje está longe de se dizer que é música. Pink Floyd é realmente incomparável; David Gilmour é insubstituível...
The magic about Pink Floyd music is: even though you have listened to that song millions of times, each time you hear it you discover some new meaning in it. And the older you get, the more you understand the song. How could they write such great music at such young age? Magical.
Here hear bro!
i've always asking me the same question about their lyrics.
Drugs. No, I don't meant it in a bad fashion or criticizing them, but explaining hoy some drugs help to channel people's thoughts or sensorial experiences into producin, in this case, an art form.
CLASSIC
True artists really live on a higher plane than most of us and therefore conceive of works beyond the reach of us ordinary souls.
The dolly track shot going behind all the amps with "Pink Floyd - London" during the break, is the epitome of a time in rock that will never exist again.
Just think that same thing. GREAT directing and editing. The band and the entire crew nailed it. Just wonder what the good people of Pompeii thought of all these crazy Brits. You know there was talk about "crazy people" in their midst. And they were RIGHT!
To anyone listening to this for the first time, it never gets old. Ever!!
Echoes is the soundtrack to my life. In the early 90's when I was a teenager, I was listening to this on repeat while all of my friends were into punk or grunge. I loved that music but the Floyd captured my soul. I couldn't get any of them to listen to Echoes, and if I did get one or two, they'd say it was too slow or boring. I felt like I was alone on a musical island. I was in awe of pre-Dark Side of the Moon Floyd, but no one to share my enthusiasm with. Now in my 40's, with the internet, it's amazing to connect to the worldwide community of Floyd fans, and the younger generation that's discovering the band's oeuvre.
Echoes is one of my all time favorite songs, I just can't have enough of it. I'd take a slower paced more thought of and emotional song than any deaf inducing madness anyday.
I used to wear the vhs tape of Live at Pompeii out, in the 90s. My first steady GF's dad had a copy of it. she also gave me a vinyl of Jeff Beck's, Blow by Blow. I wanted to make music, from that point on.
Taste ! Musical. That's what you have Eric !
You need some new friends...:)
If they think Pink Floyd are boring they should be banned from listening to music. Period. And I LOVE punk
I am 84 years of age and have been inspired by "Pink Floyd' as a Mother, as an Educator, as a Poet Laureate, and a Proclaimed, "Woman of Distinction. by the State Assembly of New York State, 2021. Yes, deeply appreciative of the Love, the Passion, the Vision, the TRUTH of BEING expressed in music that petitions our souls.
Hell, I'm almost 48. Listning to them forever. You rock. Thank you.
Zoo York? Well, at least you have good taste in music, that's a plus...
I'm 76 just overcoming a life long endogenous depression since the '70's that drove me from law school & wandered the wasteland with no help from the medical system or my friends but i found PF from time to time & found now again in 2023 ..... the race is not to the swift or the strong but the one who endures I thank PinkFloyd

Good man
Now THAT is raising your child right.
The most INSANE 24 minutes of music in the history of classic rock. How do you even describe it? And this was pre-Dark Side era...they got recognised due to LIVE at Pompeii. This was their stepping stone for DSOTM.
Watched this on national TV back in the days, and still listens to it now turning 60. No wonder my older brother ranked Pink Floyd as his no. 1 band all his life, so sad he passed much too soon.
My dad took me to The Wall concert a few years back when only Roger was touring. Pops died a year later, and I still listen to Pink Floyd all the time. Gotta show it to my kids the same way my dad showed me. Truly timeless music
My dad took me to The Wall tour too.. Such great memories. Rest in peace to your pops. Keep his memory alive through timeless music like this.
Traduzir
Sorry about your father's passing. The truly mazing things about a father is sharing special moments as you described that he loved and passed to you. What a blessing indeed! Be well.
Nick Mason....one of the most underrated drummers ever. He is just fucking killing it in this video. Cool as fuck too.
Until you look at a nick Mason drum part on sheet music, you have no idea how hard it is, ok after 47 bars of rests its time to land a perfect, tasteful full finesse barely coherent jazz beat that ties the whole song together now don't mess up. As a drummer Pink Floyd leaves you on an island that only pure technical ability and understanding can get you off of.
@@coreygolphenee9633 you just blew me away...
Also, during one of the solos, he utterly shatters one of those massive gauge drumsticks, and keeps the beat going with his left hand while his right hand reaches down for another drumstick, then he just drops right back in seamlessly. If I had to guess, The Muppet Show drummer Animal was styled after Nick, just pure gonzo.
Have you all watched the reunion video of comfortably numb? My favorite part is when NM throws off his headphones just when DG is starting his solo. I like to think of him saying, “Fuck my hearing . . . If there is one more thing I want to hear it is DG shred.”
Four of them are killers, that why Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd!!!!!
This is one of my favourite bands. They remind of happier times and I never get bored of listening to them.
This is Pink Floyd’s best song in my opinion.
You're absolutely right. Certainly the greatest thing I've ever heard by them & I know there are a couple of tracks on "Dark Side" I used to like, somewhat similar to this. Wish I'd known of this a decade ago, but at least I found it before I depart this lifetime...
This really is *the* Pink Floyd song isn't it. Superb lyrics, splendid vocal deliveries, the prominence of each instrument.
Most certainly is...enjoy
It's definitely *the* pink Floyd song of all time!
The most amazing thing about listening to Pink Floyd, is at some point in your life, you start to hear the music differently, even if you know the song for years and years. I know this song for more than 15 years. And i don't know what happened, but yesterday for the first time i heared the groove/blues part in the middle of the song. I stopped what i was doing and put my head phone and let myself been carried away. Just WOW ! that was an unexpected experience! AND This is the kind of music that touch the soul !
fantastic! i feel it too - the music opening for you when you ready
I've got news for you, I've been listening to this little tune for MORE THAN 45 years ( closer to 50, I am horrified to admit, lol ) and never knew about this version! SEEING it played live, puts a couple of new perspectives and dimensions on it, and yes, the jazzy influence as you so astutely observed. This is a MASTERPIECE, and the visuals are stunning! What a thrilling find!
I hear this Band from 70's. Is a more great band of all time
@@jeffkitson9565 I agree with you 100% I'm still hoping though ... FKJ is quite excellent, in the modern way, not rock but still:)
Shut up
Probably the greatest song performance live with no audience. And that screaming whammy bar solo by Gilmour is otherworldly.
When it comes to David's best solos everyone wants to talk about comfortably numb but for me it's definitely Echoes. Especially this live version.
This beats the studio version by a million easy. I listen to this everyday, no joke. Top 3 PinkFloyd songs ever.
Their best song in my opinion

@@alexandredaene8659 I agree. Different songs at different times of your life resignate more so than others. Try give them a listen with a few hits of weed or a light psychedelic 🔥
@@dannypacini9820 Just depends on the day I guess.. We all know their hits and out of all of them this recording shines the brightest in my opinion. There is just so much there to unpack that headphones is a must. *Anddd for when it was originally written and released, its mindblowing.
"strangers passing in the street by chance to separate glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me" what a f*cking lyric
@@bernd1963rei and.... "And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning"....WOWWWWWW!
Rodger may not have been the greatest musician, but he was an awsome poet.

this is a message from heaven!
i would have loved to see pink floyd live. my father got to see them play in mexico city in the 80s, he said he cried watching them play learning to fly. a few weeks ago while we were driving home from the beach, we were listening to pink floyd in silence, just enjoying the art. when us and them came on he couldn’t help but sing no matter how shaky or out of tune his voice was. it felt like such a personal moment with him, and since then my love for pink floyd has grown immensely. their music is so beautiful, i feel like they proved that music is in its purest, rawest form: art. echoes is truly one of their best pieces.
one of the absolute masterpieces of modern music; i cry endless tears because of this music and remember my wife, who died much too early, for all eternity. my girl, i will love you beyond all time
I'm truly sorry for your loss, I hope there are other loved ones in your life because if there are, they need you !!
may your wife rest in piece 🙏
This isn’t modern.. it was half a century ago..
Sorry bout your wife man, atleast love is eternal.
sorry for your loss! We are all together through this amazing music
I swear the transition between the guitar solo and the funk part is truly amazing
That funk is the best part of a great song!
recorded a few months before I was born, and a few kms from the place I was born. I have always had a strong emotional relationship with this video, a testimony of what my slice of the world was like when I was born
The transition at 7:33 will never not give me goosebumps
Pink Floyd was so far ahead of their time in 1970 that they showed the world what a concert in pandemic era would look like
I agree. It seems like their music is timeless.
Good insight
It should be illegal for KZhead to play an ad right in the middle of a song like Echoes
Pay for Premium, you cheapskate !
@@Alpine_Joe pay for ur oligarcy
best concert ever. With no audience...
Phénoménal ❤️👍
No,this was so powerful that the audience evaporated.
Listeningto this is like,looking at Leonardo s paintings.Genius.
I just want to congratulate anyone seeing this for the first time! The perfection of hearing Gilmour and Wright singing together,(should have been much more of this)! This was my first experience of seeing Floyd play live, and just blew me away!!!
Truly, the best spot is on!
ive watched this countless times and always amazes me how both their voices sound together, ik its the point, but it feels surreal
I just want to congratulate any PF fan for listening this master piece for the thousand time and counting,,the more you listen to it,the better it sounds,simply aged to perfection like a fine wine.
@@pinkfloydfan564 I so, so agree!
5:34 - 7:33 i replay this part over and over. david’s guitar solo and nicks drumming THE best part for me, this whole performance is THE best of all time in music history.
Simply amazing
Yeah, 30 years of lisetening to this, and that part is still amazing...
I agree with it to me I feel like David's guitar sounds Like a legendary creature.
The interplay between Gilmour and Wright is *chef's kiss* perfection
I swear the ending hits deeply
one of the best recordings in music history. Floyd is timeless.
First time i heard this when i was 16 y.o. now im 60. Since then till today this is the best band for me. Unique, incomparable...
7:34 comes in with the funk! What an absolute masterpiece!!!
So funky I could groove to that guitar riff, baseline and drum fill for the rest of my life
Never equaled, I can safely say.
Gilmour is hands down my favourite guitarist of all time
Mine too! ✋
Nobody has or will do exactly what he has done. It is like witnessing a strange weather phenomenon. I fully agree. They are all favorites. Can't touch this stuff.
Brilliance….
Without a doubt, the best
Definitely Zay underestimated his guitar player. He was definitely awesome guitars he's one of my favorite guitars that's for sure
I was 17 , when I first came across Floyd! I am 52 now! Never ever got tired of em, for a bit.
А мне было 2 года, когда я засыпала под "космическую музыку"). Щас 46. Блин, они у меня в крови!
This should be considered one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
Unquestionably 👍
The best psychedelic blues band ever, no contest. I grew up in the 70’s and listening to their music just brings me back in time. A time where nothing bothered you, nothing made you angry, you honestly didn’t need drugs to listen to this music and it still relaxed you.. It still has that effect on me today.
The best band ever*
Didn't need drugs but did them anyway
@@turtleflegel6816 Music is a drug and love. They are all to be respected
Agreed. Although Aphrodite's Child 666 does come close to Floyd's level of epicness.
That's why I'm listening to pink floyd now to relax me
sure, comfortably numb had a memorable solo, but man Echoes to me is the true Pink Floyd masterpiece.
The song of universe! In The caos, Life Was created.
This song is the beginning of Pink Floyd as we know it. It is a masterpiece.
@@Eric-jk8py really? :O
@@julianmenes5605 Pink Floyd up until this point was an underground experimental band with 5 overall members, and the 5th, Syd Barrett was kicked out the band after their second album for his mental health deteriorating. After this, they tried experimenting with albums like Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother, but couldn’t really find their footing until a little album called Meddle. They have also been classified as a space band in the past, so they decided to have an underwater sound in the last track of Meddle, “Echoes”. A 23-minute long epic using accidental sounds made by the band. Yes, that iconic “ping” was made on complete accident. Nevertheless, that track is regarded as a transitional piece from the band. From a psychedelic sound, to a more unique sound that’s never been really replicated by any other band.
This is the best thing I've ever listened to. as though heaven had become music. @ 14:41 - 18:05 IT is just beautiful.
Epic isn't it ? So sublime and pure ... This is by far the best price of music I ever heard .... And for a past few months I am listening to it constantly .
This song is so gorgeous and sensitive that sometimes I think it reflects one´s life, from birth to death. Since I´ve heard it for the very first time early 1972 at the age of 15 it is with me, till today. There is no other song I have heard so often and even after 51 years it makes me very emotional.
One of the most beautifully shot pieces of Human History, this should’ve somehow made the Voyager Golden Record
Dave's guitar tone in this song is absolutely, insanely unbelievable!
good ol fender strats man, sooo good
I like is falling asleep and then waking up to it ~ kimie
He's always had an incredible knack for getting the right sound for the song. Look at the two solos from Comfortably Numb. The first very mellow and thought provoking and the second, very gritty and rip your heart out. The man is a genius👍
The binson echotec gave him an otherwordly sound
This is Rick's and Davids masterliece for sure, but surprised no mention of Roger in the comments. Besides somengreat baselines, thiis represents a unique phase in his songwrititng. It is more spiritual and poetic than personal or political. The lyrics on this song take me on a beautiful journey, every bit as much as the music.
Yes the combined brilliance of this is extraordinary.
When you want to listen to Pink Floyd, you have to LISTEN to them... you have to listen to every single chord...you need to sit down and take your time to understand their music, because it is too beautiful
Most people think of Waters mainly as the lyrical/thematic genius behind the band's success, but he was also responsible for some of the catchiest bass riffs you'll ever hear.
He’s a decent bassist no doubt but Gilmour and Waters would split recording the bass tracks in the studio
Gilmour is the genius bassist. Many, many times we think it's Watters, it is actually Gilmore. I watched an interview with Watters admitting this, admitting that Gilmour would allow for the credit to go to Watters even though it was David. Just a bit of info.
so catchy that andrew lloyd weber decided to steal it
Waters wrote this song, but Rick and Dave sang it. I thought when I was a kid Waters sing this song.
All of the members are great
Music from the future, played in the past.
Savoured forever and ever
2022 is future
Well said!
Oh my fucking god. They are... crazy alienz 👽
Heard in the eternal present...
I put this on a giant TV for everyone to watch at the mental hospital years ago. Good times.
I did the same...
@@Isaiahpsychodoomer616 I never thought I'd hear someone else say that...
@@Isaiahpsychodoomer616 So I throw the windows wide, and call to you across the sky....
I also played "Brain damage"on the tv that days,the lyrics fitted well in the contexts we were.
Everything about this is badass, the place, the time, the music, it's a treasure I will always go back to and enjoy in its fullest.
I haven’t listened to this for 40+ years (I’m 67 and listened to it a lot in the 70s). It’s still great in my opinion. Thanks for posting. ✌️
First time I saw Pink Floyd was the dark side of the moon show hitchhiked from Sacramento to San Francisco didn't have tickets snuck in ,show was so good we came out got back in line for the next night and did it all over again!! I'm 67 myself, be cool my friend!!!!
this is without a doubt my pick for the greatest song ever made in human history
Yep x
and by a considerable margin
I've never told anyone just how sad it feels to hear those last strums. Just knowing this masterpiece is closing out it just breaks my heart. Long live the Floyd
the part that starts around 15:20 and goes on to when the singing starts at 19:00 is such a colossal buildup. a true masterpiece
Truly ,
It's insane
without a doubt one of the best things I've heard. still goosebumps at least 100 times listen
At least
Seriously. They must’ve been feeling the ancient spirits entombed there.
This has been echoing in my consciousness for years and I shall take it with me when I leave this world...
A million bright ambassadors of morning
The genius of Nick Mason
