"And do I take you by the hand, and lead you through the land, and help me understand the best I can." The world could use a little empathy right now. Pink Floyd is forever relevant.
Both of you are exactly correct about how timeless Pink Floyd is. I will say in 50 years from now, people will be amazed by the sound of their music and how it makes them feel. To me, they are the best group ever to appear.
You are spot on. Pink Floyd are outside any musical genre. So they will never go out of fashion like Punk Rock or swing Dixieland. Ragtime ska. New wave or countless other. Here one minute gone the next musical fads
This band was the background music to my life. I have listened to them for a long time - it always sounds fresh and still takes me on a journey. I'm 67 now and still love them👌 Great reaction guys. Always a pleasure to share great music with you👍🙊👍
Thanks so much for that. I have been with Pink Floyd since1968 I am 73 now and still listen to them every week between then and 2019 Great day for freedom there is a very deep rabbit hole best band ever . They were always different and will never be replaced
They were young and in my opinion, this album is their breakthrough album. To me it’s a song about evolution. In the same sense, rock was evolving too.
Oh yes, there's a part 2 indeed 😊 And you can imagine the emotions when David Gilmour went back in 2016.. Once upon a time, David Gilmour and Richard Wright allowed themselves to play even without t-shirts 😂 Bravo for your reaction 👏
I discovered these guys when I was 18 and I have listened to them religiously for over 50 years!! A day doesn't pass that I don't listen to Floyd!! I am now an old man with a number of health issues and PF music helps with my pain and helps me stay focused on life especially from a spiritual perspective. They are a gift!!
I could have written the above myself. I was introduced to PF when I was 18 too and Ummagumma and a Saucerfull of Secrets really charted a musical course for me. Yes the aches and pains seem to disappear when immersed in PF for the umpteenth time.........
I'm 51. Friend at 15 years old said, I have something you need to listen to. And he set me down between 2 tower speakers and played Comfortably Numb. Been listening to Floyd nearly every day ever since. Old phone on the night stand through a BT speaker, I fall asleep to 2nd side of Dark Side, then this, Echoes Pompeii, SOYCD Pulse, and Gilmour's acoustic SOYCD every night. That first time hearing Comfortably Numb I said I'll play it on the guitar some day. Now I play most of Dark Side, SOYCD both electric and acoustic, several off of Division Bell. I've never played Comfortably Numb. If I play it (especially Pulse version) I won't have anything I could ever play again as I would have played the greatest solo ever played.
The whole Pink Floyd live at Pompeii is outstanding and worth watching. Please do more of their earlier songs. Try Shine on you Crazy Diamond parts 1 thru 5 and 6 thru 9 studio version.
The words you're searching for is that you are having a spiritual experience when you listen to Pink Floyd. It goes that deep. I don't even know if THEY understood that at the time. It's as if they were channeling from another place. Ethereal.
Pink Floyd’s music is defined as music from under ground, the drummer Nick Mason as well as David Gilmour are geniuses from the earlier years, and your reaction is still the best emotional one done in all the reactions groups for songs.
David Gilmour performed Echoes live at Gdańsk. full version and it is unforgettable. You would absolutely love it! Dave and Ricks ending is so beautiful.
Theres part 2 in this concert as well. The David Gilmour live in Gdansk version is the best one particularly the ending. It was the last performance before Richard Wright passed from cancer and the emotion in the ending sequence is like nothing heard before. It truly is ECHOES.
I agree 100% with knowing about Pink Floyd and then understanding Pink Floyd. The groove in the song, when Richard and David are going back and forth, in my opinion is one of the best grooves ever. You guys are awesome thank you!
watch "Gdansk" version and as Dave said once that you will see the 2 playing back and forth like they are talking to each other. Sad to watch as this tour would be their last. They did play David Gilmours " Barn Jams with just the 4 of then playing no sing.,.there is record over 200 jams. start with 121
I had the pleasure of seeing them in 1973 in Canada at a soccer stadium. They played the whole dark side of the moon album and the wall. They take you on a journey from start to finish. Greatest concert I have ever been to and a visual show like no other.
This was a actually a concert film directed by Adrian Maben They were performing at ancient Roman amphitheater in Pompei Italy. There were other songs played there on set.They were Echoes Part 2 and eleven other songs. David Gilmour was only 25 in the video.
Great reaction once again😄😄 Talking of maturity, in an interview drummer Nick Mason described Roger Waters as "the youngest 50 year old.." when talking about his fantastic, worldly-wise lyrics. Edit: PS There's a fantastic version of Echoes by David Gilmour - Live In Gdańsk I think you'll like if you haven't seen it already. Also, there's a part 2 to this video as well. I don't why it was posted on RUclips in two parts. Best wishes.
Wow, the first time I heard Pink Floyd I was 14. it was 1968 we grew with the music. I urge you to get 'meddle' and give it a listen. My first introduction was with 'Atom heart mother' the times were different, day glow paint, flower power, hippies. The main stream had the Beatles and Rolling Stones but at the fringe were bands like this. I am glad the younger generations are discovering Pink Floyd still. Their music and lyrics speak the human experience.
I can remember when i saw them in 75 &77 if you said i have tickets to Pink Floyd people would be like no shit ! Tickets went VERY quick and they were just Them and then everyone else. They were strange, mysterious and phenomenal. They were considered masters at their craft. I was so so fortunate to have been living during those times also saw them when they released and went on tour for Momentary Lapse of Reason ! Who has an album with that type of title. They always had sung about going mad in some of there songs Brain Damage , One of these days , momentary lapse of reason ,shine on you crazy diamond. That I believe had alot to do with Syd Barret losing his mind and going mad as the english would refer to. I feel it really affected them and always had him in their minds through some of their music.
One of my first concert ... I was almost 15 and it was in the 70 in Paris ... The concert was in 2 parts ... The first one was echoes part 1 and two and the second was the dark side of the moon ... An Experience I am unable to forget ... I saw them after 2 or 3 times ... (One on my best memory was the day of baccalaureat (I was 16) ... In the evening I saw them again in concert ... My only think as I was waiting for french oral was "When will it finish as I can go to this concert ???? !!!!". it :)
I guess i must be very bright and ahead of my time by your standards! I’m in my 50’s and remember watching this when i was in university in the early 90’s. Back in those days, i had a steady diet of Pink Floyd (minus the wall which i never liked,) Frank Zappa, Phish, The Grateful Dead, John McLaughlin, Metallica, Soundgarden and The Melvins and Jimi Hendrix. This rendition of Echoes illustrates how Pink Floyd is indeed an experience vs a performance. It is still as fresh now as it was in 1992 and 1972.
Pink Floyd was a experimental band at first and they grew to make their way to excellence to the Great band they are now. Everything they release is a journey of the emotions and the mind.
Them music geniuses blew me away as a kid and still do so now when I listen to them again. And this has to be one of the greatest audio/visual masterpieces ever!
They are the master at their craft - I have been so lucky to see them from the start to their finish and still today day they are still a head of their time.
This was the first time Richard Wright and Dave Gilmore performed echoes now go to echoes live in Gdańsk and see the last time they performed it just before Richard Wright died, very emotional I think you both will cry 😢
I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd for 37 years now (I am 49). I always have the same thoughts. It’s complex but it’s also simple, if that makes any sense. It’s simple in that it makes you feel something, and there is nothing more simple than that. The music is not terribly complex but because of that, it touches you somehow because it speaks to you. And yes there is complexity in that, because most music doesn’t quite do that for you. Maybe authenticity is the right word
This is my favourite live footage off all time. The eery ambience in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii that was wiped out by mount vesuvius in 79 AD and the brilliance off the band is a magic mix. I whent to Naples snd Pompeii last year and had to play echoes on my headset at this amphitheatre. It was quite special.
I am 27 and I was fortunate enough to grow up with this music and all the other classic rock that emerged from the 60s and 70s thanks to my parents who lived it...Pink Floyds music is universal and eternal....thanks for sharing your experience of hearing for the first time...much enjoyed...peace
Y, timeless beauty... They will we're kinda enlihted, they felt the spirit and humanity in an unpretought was, imho opinion this is the greatest way to describe how the human potential is able to evolve...they will be remembered like Beethoven & Bach in 500 years 🙏
You are so right! This is timeless. In 500 years from now people will still be amazed! Tip: two other songs from the same concert, " Set the controls for the heart of the sun " and " Be careful with that axe, Eugene! ". Try them and enjoy.
I just watched all your Pink Floyd videos and I've been crying during all of them. PF's music is indescribably beautiful to me and I think about it often and words are always too clumsy to describe how it affects me. I watch a lot of PF reactions and everyone has the same general lack of adequate words to describe what they just listened to but they're all deeply moved. Some people cry, some laugh, some get goose bumps or start sweating. It's so interesting. There's a real, literal magic to PF's music. Something I always think about when watching them play in this video and in later concerts at this very old theatrical setting, and time being what it is, is Pink Floyd affecting the experiences of people in the past in the same location? Events imprint places and time's a lot weirder and slipperier than we're brought up to believe. This is the frame of mind Pink Floyd puts me in. Love you two 💗
Well, Echoes is a particularly brilliant song. In that scenario it becomes sublime. Note that every PF member is at the top of their ability in 1971. Even Roger has an incredible performance in the bass. And he is very underrated as a bass player. Please, do not forget to react to Waters solo career too. He was and still is an fomidable composer, and his shows are pure madness.
You guys are wonderful, love your reactions! Just want to "echo" what others have said, please do part 2, and you should also check out Echoes on David Gilmour Live in Gdansk - the last performance with David and Rick.
What a beautiful reaction! I agree completely that it would be difficult to truly grasp the amazing complexity of their music listening to them when you are young. They are just on a whole other level. You need to be ready for them. This song though really needs to be heard in its entirety. The recommendation for the David Gilmour love in Gdansk version is bang on and is one that truly has to be experienced.
Always enjoy your reactions to PF and the recognition that a certain level of maturity is required to understand the depth and quality of it all! It was always their goal to provide a complete experience for the attendee rather than just a show! In 2004, PF's drummer, Nick Mason published a book titled 'Inside Out' - a personal history of Pink Floyd. As you seem pretty interested in the band, I recommend that you try to locate a copy as it is very well written, full of history, humor, and awesome pictures as well! Cheers to you both!
PURE GENIUS, EACH MEMBER…. PUT IT ALL TOGETHER N OUT COMES PINK FLOYD… FLOAT AWAY WITH MASTERS OF THE EMOTIONAL UNIVERSE YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT, EPIC N TIMELESS
Performed by and for the band, crew and ghosts. Also, there is a story of two local young boys that were lucky enough to sit and witness this performance. This was the first performance at this venue since the early year of 79 CE. As well as listening to the second half of this performance I strongly suggest watching Gilmour's concert in 2016 when he returned to Pompeii to be the first to perform for an actively alive audience since the place was buried back in 79 CE. Peace/JT
Pink Floyd has the BEST GROOVE of any band!! If I could only listen to one band the rest of my life, it would Be Pink Floyd!!! I hear something each time I listen to them!
I am much younger than you and I have been listening to them for more than 15 years now and I still love their music like I have discovered them for the first time.
Subbed. I have been 'lurcking' and Really enjoying your reaction videos. Your talking and commenting on the songs/musicians is very enjoyable and enlightening. Thank you ... and looking forward to your next one.
Genius they were in the 70ies, because just about everything you watched so far was composed in the 70ies ... you watch them later, you get good old wine.
un des plus grands chef d'oeuvre de la musique, toute époque confondue. Toutefois, le morceau original n'est pas coupé en 2 parties, ni sur l'album original (meddle) ni sur l'original de ce live. Un des mystères des "youtubeurs" de le présenter ainsi, et cela risque de faire un peu bizarre de reprendre le morceau ou il a été coupé... Ceci dit, comme vous avez surtout réagit aux morceaux post 1994, je tenais à souligner et à vous faire remarquer l'importance primordiale de Waters et de Wright dans l'écriture et la composition des morceaux de PF entre 1968 et 1978. L'apport de Mason dans les compositions est plus difficile à déterminer. Je vous invite à écouter la version de Gilmour/wright du concert de Gdansk, le dernier concert de Wright avec PF avant son décès. La réinterprétation est absolument magistrale.
I was fortunate enough to grow up with this music. From the early sixties, when very young, I was drawn to complex music. The very best, including Pink Floyd, has not dated at all and still pleases me.
Thankyou for reacting to this great song from a great band. The director of this video wanted them to mime but they refused and played live. The best live version the next best live version of this is David Gilmore at Albert hall. Playin at Pompeii was sort of an anti Woodstock in a way. More atmospheric in this way rather than having 1000s of people there. Just the band, crew and 5 local kids sat somewhere in the amphitheater
I think Pink Floyd music, is for a more mature mind. I heard PF music on the radio in the 80's and 90's, but I was in my teens and twenties, so life was moving so fast, it just brushed by me. It wasn't until my 30's, when my mind started to think deeper and was more focused, that their music started to have meaning to me. Now in my 50's, I listen to Pink Floyd almost daily.
Fun fact. In 2023 Nick Mason, the Drummer of Pink Floyd came back to the Theater, this time with audience. He played also this song with his new band "The Saucerful of secrets". I saw them some weeks ago. If you ever have the chance, go visit. Nick is now 80 years old and still has fun playing the old stuff.
I was 11 when I first heard this song. We referred to it as space rock. This is Pink Floyd's epic masterpiece. Their best performance is at the Royal Albert Hall. Amazing
They wanted to play live in the amphitheater at Pompeii for the acoustic sound. They took a film crew in 1972 and recorded their new album “Meddle” live. It was filmed and released in cinema’s and theatres in UK & Europe. Sort of music video promotion 10 years before music videos ! Me and my best friend Tony went to see it at our local cinema and were blown away ! We were 14 at the time Now I am 64 and regularly play / watch the dvd of that film “Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii”
Watch the whole movie Live in Pompeii, it is a mind blowing masterpiece! Part II of Echoes too. It is filmed as a movie. No public, just the volcano and the ruins of Pompei. Gilmour did Live in Pompeii several years ago.
I saw Pink Floyd live in concert in 1973. They performed Dark Side of the Moon album. It was PERFECT 🤩 We all sat there speechless in stunned silence staring at them, hypnotized by the perfection of their concert. By far the best concert I’ve EVER HEARD OR SCENE 🥰💜👏
For me, watching this video, I'm struck by how young and beautiful the boys are and it makes me wonder how they ever came to make music so deep and meaningful at such a young age, truely remarkable. I love your discussion on the Pink Floyd conundrum, it will be debated for decades to come.
Another open honest reaction, if my memory serves me well???, Pompeii was the chosen venue for this album Purley for it's acustic effect, the high pitch wines in the intro were discovered by accident when Dave Gilmore plugged some cables into the amp the wrong way round, it you haven't yet you want to try Dave Gilmore live in gdansk, echoes, it's a different monster when played with modern tech,enjoy, try"when the Tigers broke free"you will def need the tissue,s enjoy
Hello Andrei and Dominka. I loved this reaction. I knew you both would enjoy it. I just ahared it with my 17 yr old guitar playing grandson. He loves Pink Floyd. We have been traveling so I was surprised to see that you had done the reaction already. My grandson enjoyed your reaction as well. You are conveying the same feelings i had when I discovered Pink Floyd kinda late in life as well. Like you Dominika, i always knew Pink Floyd. Just never really appreciated their complex genius. Great job you two.
"Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me" - Echoes
tout le texte est une merveille de poésie
One of the greatest lyrical lines of all time, imo.
"And do I take you by the hand, and lead you through the land, and help me understand the best I can."
The world could use a little empathy right now. Pink Floyd is forever relevant.
Those few words have so much meaning. The emotions felt while listening are so strong.
Both of you are exactly correct about how timeless Pink Floyd is. I will say in 50 years from now, people will be amazed by the sound of their music and how it makes them feel. To me, they are the best group ever to appear.
You are spot on. Pink Floyd are outside any musical genre. So they will never go out of fashion like Punk Rock or swing Dixieland. Ragtime ska. New wave or countless other. Here one minute gone the next musical fads
A group of great musicians got together and created an Art Form not just a band. The greatest band of all time and a journey that never leaves you..
This band was the background music to my life. I have listened to them for a long time - it always sounds fresh and still takes me on a journey. I'm 67 now and still love them👌
Great reaction guys. Always a pleasure to share great music with you👍🙊👍
Thanks so much for that. I have been with Pink Floyd since1968 I am 73 now and still listen to them every week between then and 2019 Great day for freedom there is a very deep rabbit hole best band ever . They were always different and will never be replaced
To me also, greatest band that ever existed
They were young and in my opinion, this album is their breakthrough album.
To me it’s a song about evolution. In the same sense, rock was evolving too.
Oh yes, there's a part 2 indeed 😊
And you can imagine the emotions when David Gilmour went back in 2016..
Once upon a time, David Gilmour and Richard Wright allowed themselves to play even without t-shirts 😂
Bravo for your reaction 👏
I discovered these guys when I was 18 and I have listened to them religiously for over 50 years!! A day doesn't pass that I don't listen to Floyd!!

I'm 51. Friend at 15 years old said, I have something you need to listen to. And he set me down between 2 tower speakers and played Comfortably Numb. Been listening to Floyd nearly every day ever since. Old phone on the night stand through a BT speaker, I fall asleep to 2nd side of Dark Side, then this, Echoes Pompeii, SOYCD Pulse, and Gilmour's acoustic SOYCD every night.
That first time hearing Comfortably Numb I said I'll play it on the guitar some day. Now I play most of Dark Side, SOYCD both electric and acoustic, several off of Division Bell. I've never played Comfortably Numb. If I play it (especially Pulse version) I won't have anything I could ever play again as I would have played the greatest solo ever played.
Hope that you will get better! Love from Sweden!
I'm old I would like to discover them, I'm happy to look at Youngs reactions, it makes me happy
Even I
The whole Pink Floyd live at Pompeii is outstanding and worth watching. Please do more of their earlier songs. Try Shine on you Crazy Diamond parts 1 thru 5 and 6 thru 9 studio version.

One,of the Best Song...in the World...
Never ever get sick of this song 😅
Just Pink Floyd and the crew in Pompeii 💥 classic
You forgot the ghosts. Peace/JT
David Gilmour performed Echoes live at Gdańsk. full version and it is unforgettable. You would absolutely love it! Dave and Ricks ending is so beautiful.
Live in Gdansk is probably the best version i've ever hezrd
Theres part 2 in this concert as well. The David Gilmour live in Gdansk version is the best one particularly the ending. It was the last performance before Richard Wright passed from cancer and the emotion in the ending sequence is like nothing heard before. It truly is ECHOES.
It’s my favorite version
I agree!!
Completely agree....they owe it to themselves to watch this version at some point!!
Yes, the mastery of the song by Gilmour and Wright for 30+ years and the musical goodbye between them makes "Echoes - live a Gdansk" the best version.
@@christhompson9140agree 100%
This concert was given for the ghosts of pompeii ... by the way, this was only part 1 of 2.
I agree 100% with knowing about Pink Floyd and then understanding Pink Floyd. The groove in the song, when Richard and David are going back and forth, in my opinion is one of the best grooves ever. You guys are awesome thank you!
watch "Gdansk" version and as Dave said once that you will see the 2 playing back and forth like they are talking to each other. Sad to watch as this tour would be their last. They did play David Gilmours " Barn Jams with just the 4 of then playing no sing.,.there is record over 200 jams. start with 121
I had the pleasure of seeing them in 1973 in Canada at a soccer stadium. They played the whole dark side of the moon album and the wall. They take you on a journey from start to finish. Greatest concert I have ever been to and a visual show like no other.
And just think Dark Side, The Wall, Animals etc we’re still in their futures. A wonderful record, fun reaction.

reason "time"
The second part was played at the end of the pompeii live set so i guess it was always meant to be lisened to seperately
Music like this will always move one into the Heart cave...this is where we truly 'live"!
Wow, the first time I heard Pink Floyd I was 14. it was 1968 we grew with the music. I urge you to get 'meddle' and give it a listen.

Tutto il concerto da cui è stato fatto anche il film Pink Foyd a Pompei è un capolavoro
I Saw them do echoes in 1975 in Pittsburgh and 1977 in Cleveland unbelievable

This rendition of Echoes illustrates how Pink Floyd is indeed an experience vs a performance. It is still as fresh now as it was in 1992 and 1972.
Pink Floyd was a experimental band at first and they grew to make their way to excellence to the Great band they are now.
Everything they release is a journey of the emotions and the mind.
Doesn't matter if you missed out. But now you have arrived. Enjoy pink Floyd for as long as you can.
I am convinced that this is the best song ever created
Them music geniuses blew me away as a kid and still do so now when I listen to them again. And this has to be one of the greatest audio/visual masterpieces ever!
The backstory to this song is so sad. Saucer full of secrets is my favorite just shows how talented these guys were
Pink Floyd has their own time zone 😂 I love that! So perfect, so accurate
They are timeless
They are the master at their craft - I have been so lucky to see them from the start to their finish and still today day they are still a head of their time.
Pink Floyd are quality for sure. Little Aussie band, could give them a challenge 🙂
@@10shamus Not on your life.
I have been a hard core Fan started in 1970 while in the Marine Core now I am 70ys old and still a Hard Core Fan 🥰
Watching the two of you discovering Pink Floyd brings me great joy.
This was the first time Richard Wright and Dave Gilmore performed echoes now go to echoes live in Gdańsk and see the last time they performed it just before Richard Wright died, very emotional I think you both will cry 😢
I watched this in a movie theater in 1972 and was blown away ;) I watched them live 2 years later and have been a fan ever since ;)
And you tought thats all? Hahaha there is a second part boys, nice reaction!!
I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd for 37 years now (I am 49). I always have the same thoughts. It’s complex but it’s also simple, if that makes any sense. It’s simple in that it makes you feel something, and there is nothing more simple than that. The music is not terribly complex but because of that, it touches you somehow because it speaks to you. And yes there is complexity in that, because most music doesn’t quite do that for you. Maybe authenticity is the right word

The most badass funky grind... with syncopated drums fills and licks.
One word "MASTERPIECE "

looking at BLACK METAL TEENS HEARING PINK FLOYD
Please don't forget to watch Part 2 of this as this is just half of this amazing song and performance.
Y, timeless beauty... They will we're kinda enlihted, they felt the spirit and humanity in an unpretought was, imho opinion this is the greatest way to describe how the human potential is able to evolve...they will be remembered like Beethoven & Bach in 500 years 🙏
You are so right! This is timeless. In 500 years from now people will still be amazed! Tip: two other songs from the same concert, " Set the controls for the heart of the sun " and " Be careful with that axe, Eugene! ". Try them and enjoy.
The song "Echoes" was where Pink Floyd found their identity. The best version, by far, is the studio version on the album "Meddle"
Geniuses then, now and forever, great reaction as always guys 👏👏👏👏✌️

Final "Echoes"performance with Richard Wright (Pink Floyd) HDPinkfloyd . The best version. Amazing
I always said pink Floyd is music in the 4th dimension adding an out of body type experience. Even now, still far ahead of our time.
You guys are wonderful, love your reactions! Just want to "echo" what others have said, please do part 2, and you should also check out Echoes on David Gilmour Live in Gdansk - the last performance with David and Rick.
Pink Floyd actually did play live in that arena, but many years later. Ater 2000.
It’s sorcery. They tap into subconscious. Amazing band.
What a beautiful reaction! I agree completely that it would be difficult to truly grasp the amazing complexity of their music listening to them when you are young. They are just on a whole other level. You need to be ready for them. This song though really needs to be heard in its entirety. The recommendation for the David Gilmour love in Gdansk version is bang on and is one that truly has to be experienced.
seeing at BLACK METAL TEENS HEARING PINK FLOYD
Always enjoy your reactions to PF and the recognition that a certain level of maturity is required to understand the depth and quality of it all! It was always their goal to provide a complete experience for the attendee rather than just a show! In 2004, PF's drummer, Nick Mason published a book titled 'Inside Out' - a personal history of Pink Floyd. As you seem pretty interested in the band, I recommend that you try to locate a copy as it is very well written, full of history, humor, and awesome pictures as well! Cheers to you both!
Think about it! 79AD Pompeii and here is PF playing there! Amazing Band!
PURE GENIUS, EACH MEMBER…. PUT IT ALL TOGETHER N OUT COMES PINK FLOYD… FLOAT AWAY WITH MASTERS OF THE EMOTIONAL UNIVERSE
YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT, EPIC N TIMELESS
Performed by and for the band, crew and ghosts. Also, there is a story of two local young boys that were lucky enough to sit and witness this performance. This was the first performance at this venue since the early year of 79 CE. As well as listening to the second half of this performance I strongly suggest watching Gilmour's concert in 2016 when he returned to Pompeii to be the first to perform for an actively alive audience since the place was buried back in 79 CE. Peace/JT
Pink Floyd has the BEST GROOVE of any band!! If I could only listen to one band the rest of my life, it would Be Pink Floyd!!! I hear something each time I listen to them!
Very relatable reactions, you both! I kind of feel the same...
They were on another level.
Totally agree! Pink Floyd is an experience.
They were way ahead of there time sound,production wow Dave wow hes magic with hes guitar the goat fore sure thanks Andre and Dominica.
I’m mesmerized by your guys reaction to David Gilmour’s awesome guitar solo. I feel exactly the same way. What an awesome feeling!
pink floyd has their own time zone :D indeed!
I am much younger than you and I have been listening to them for more than 15 years now and I still love their music like I have discovered them for the first time.
You're awesome people. Love ur reviews 🤗
like the Beatles, Pink Floyd have always played in a league of their own in the history of 20th century music
Another must, Pink Floyd live "On the turning away"
Subbed. I have been 'lurcking' and Really enjoying your reaction videos. Your talking and commenting on the songs/musicians is very enjoyable and enlightening. Thank you ... and looking forward to your next one.
Takes years to dig through. Best performance ever captured on video. WATCH PART 2 ❤
The main thing is you are here now, never to late to enjoy Pink floyd.
Echoes live in Gdansk....absolutely heartbreaking. Put out to pasture, given a noble retirement
As the saying goes - you don’t listen to Pink Floyd, you experience them
Genius they were in the 70ies, because just about everything you watched so far was composed in the 70ies ... you watch them later, you get good old wine.
Pink Floyd will come to you when you really need it!..
un des plus grands chef d'oeuvre de la musique, toute époque confondue. Toutefois, le morceau original n'est pas coupé en 2 parties, ni sur l'album original (meddle) ni sur l'original de ce live. Un des mystères des "youtubeurs" de le présenter ainsi, et cela risque de faire un peu bizarre de reprendre le morceau ou il a été coupé... Ceci dit, comme vous avez surtout réagit aux morceaux post 1994, je tenais à souligner et à vous faire remarquer l'importance primordiale de Waters et de Wright dans l'écriture et la composition des morceaux de PF entre 1968 et 1978. L'apport de Mason dans les compositions est plus difficile à déterminer. Je vous invite à écouter la version de Gilmour/wright du concert de Gdansk, le dernier concert de Wright avec PF avant son décès. La réinterprétation est absolument magistrale.
Now you need to hear part two.
The Pompeii concert was a criticism of the commercialism of the live concerts at the time
I was fortunate enough to grow up with this music. From the early sixties, when very young, I was drawn to complex music. The very best, including Pink Floyd, has not dated at all and still pleases me.
Thankyou for reacting to this great song from a great band. The director of this video wanted them to mime but they refused and played live. The best live version the next best live version of this is David Gilmore at Albert hall. Playin at Pompeii was sort of an anti Woodstock in a way. More atmospheric in this way rather than having 1000s of people there. Just the band, crew and 5 local kids sat somewhere in the amphitheater
I think Pink Floyd music, is for a more mature mind. I heard PF music on the radio in the 80's and 90's, but I was in my teens and twenties, so life was moving so fast, it just brushed by me. It wasn't until my 30's, when my mind started to think deeper and was more focused, that their music started to have meaning to me. Now in my 50's, I listen to Pink Floyd almost daily.
Fun fact. In 2023 Nick Mason, the Drummer of Pink Floyd came back to the Theater, this time with audience. He played also this song with his new band "The Saucerful of secrets". I saw them some weeks ago. If you ever have the chance, go visit. Nick is now 80 years old and still has fun playing the old stuff.
I was 11 when I first heard this song. We referred to it as space rock. This is Pink Floyd's epic masterpiece. Their best performance is at the Royal Albert Hall. Amazing
One of these days from Pompeii is brilliant too
They wanted to play live in the amphitheater at Pompeii for the acoustic sound. They took a film crew in 1972 and recorded their new album “Meddle” live.
It was filmed and released in cinema’s and theatres in UK & Europe.
Sort of music video promotion 10 years before music videos !
Me and my best friend Tony went to see it at our local cinema and were blown away ! We were 14 at the time
Now I am 64 and regularly play / watch the dvd of that film “Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii”
Watch the whole movie Live in Pompeii, it is a mind blowing masterpiece! Part II of Echoes too. It is filmed as a movie. No public, just the volcano and the ruins of Pompei. Gilmour did Live in Pompeii several years ago.
My totally favourite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw Pink Floyd live in concert in 1973. They performed Dark Side of the Moon album. It was PERFECT 🤩 We all sat there speechless in stunned silence staring at them, hypnotized by the perfection of their concert. By far the best concert I’ve EVER HEARD OR SCENE 🥰💜👏
TALK ABOUT GOOSEBUMPS..!!!
I HAVE TO WONDER…. HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE OUTSIDE THE COLISEUM WHEN THIS WAS RECORDED
For me, watching this video, I'm struck by how young and beautiful the boys are and it makes me wonder how they ever came to make music so deep and meaningful at such a young age, truely remarkable. I love your discussion on the Pink Floyd conundrum, it will be debated for decades to come.
Another open honest reaction, if my memory serves me well???, Pompeii was the chosen venue for this album Purley for it's acustic effect, the high pitch wines in the intro were discovered by accident when Dave Gilmore plugged some cables into the amp the wrong way round, it you haven't yet you want to try Dave Gilmore live in gdansk, echoes, it's a different monster when played with modern tech,enjoy, try"when the Tigers broke free"you will def need the tissue,s enjoy
Hello Andrei and Dominka. I loved this reaction. I knew you both would enjoy it. I just ahared it with my 17 yr old guitar playing grandson. He loves Pink Floyd. We have been traveling so I was surprised to see that you had done the reaction already. My grandson enjoyed your reaction as well. You are conveying the same feelings i had when I discovered Pink Floyd kinda late in life as well. Like you Dominika, i always knew Pink Floyd. Just never really appreciated their complex genius. Great job you two.
Beautiful ❤️
Great great choice!
