![*REACTION* PINK FLOYD- “ ECHOES” [Final performance with Richard Wright] LIVE First time watching](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PgxErWe7S6I/mqdefault.jpg)
I've never seen such a brave and visceral reaction to a piece of music. How fitting that it was to Echoes. A very challenging track.
Thanks so much for watching, really glad you enjoyed it
I fear listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor might kill her.
Simp harder bro. A challenging track? Listen to it. React.
@@t-bonestickyfingers1336 someone praises a reaction and you call it simping. Say a lot about you, *an awful lot,* and none of it is good.
@@SarahDengler hello miss, if enjoyed this song you may want to check a band called Gybe! As someone mentioned here in the comment. I'm a Floyd fan as well and i'm sure Gybe! Will give you amazing listening experience
This woman knows how to listen to music the right way!
Indeed!
when you can hear the voice of an instrument, it really helps, she def can
No psychedelics are necessary. Unless you want to get into the mindset that they were in while writing this album.
@@johnsaunders1116 they didn’t trip during this album. They smoked weed/hash. The band definitely didn’t touch psychedelics after what happened to Syd and a lot of people for some reason believe they were always tripping when they weren’t
Hard to imagine that this masterpiece s 50 years old. Like the best of the legendary classical composers, this one belongs to the ages.
Pink Floyd's music has no time. If you listened to it 100 years from now, it would always be amazing.
I agree with you
Truely a Religious Experience even after hearing it for the 1000th time
Unreal you mean
It can never get old.
While it's actually about nature....
thank you for not stopping the video and commenting, and the minimal comments while you were listening. thats probably the heaviest song you'll ever hear...its a trip...which was their intent. The beauty of the song is that at the end of it, you have no idea what you just heard.
I know how you felt when you first heard Echoes. It was a spiritual epiphany. It's way beyond being just a piece of music. You become absorbed into the piece. It picks you up and carries you. You have no control of any of the emotions you're feeling. You have to go where ever it takes you. I know what you felt when you said you were emotionally drained. It really is an incredibly evocative and powerful piece of music.
Great Statement about the song " Echoes " Appreciate you !
"Echoes of a distant time." Yup. Literally, when hearing this song now. I don't just remember, I FEEL the autumn of when I first heard and got into this song. It's so visceral.
The ending dialog between the guitar and the keys always gets me, even on my 1000th listen
I still shed tears for the beauty of this piece ❤️
Its incredible
It’s too beautiful to bare.
Love this reaction. Echoes is indeed one of the most incredible pieces of music ever created, and it's wonderful to see the kind of impact it still has on people.
And that's the truth!
Check out the extended version at GDAŃSK the last time Rick and David played it before Rick died. I introduced the band when they previewed this whole album in Norwich Norfolk U.K. - what a privilege! The music is literally transcendental. GDAŃSK was the finest concert that Gilmour did IMHO. Dark Side of the Moon will blow you away guaranteed - particularly GREAT GIG IN THE SKY
The song was so good Andrew Lloyd Webber stole the guitar riff for phantom of the opera
Thank you my man, I will as you suggest, listen to that.
Gdansk is epic. My favourite show and versions of a lot of the tracks.
Live in Gdańsk is great
Gdansk version is nothing compared to the live at Pompeii
Great reaction and kudos for listening to it start to finish without interruption…. You definitely gave it the respect this track deserves…. If the the Floyd boys hoped for a reaction from this song when they wrote it they couldn’t have got a better one than yours…. Well done
Thank you !
"This is not just music, this is something else". I feel like you just shared a moment with me from age 13 when I first discovered them. So succinctly and beautifully stated.
From a musical mosaic was born this work of art, here is how:
The band sat down in January of 1971 to begin to work on what they felt would be their best piece to date. Work began by allowing a very open atmosphere for creativity, putting down any and all ideas that anyone had. First, 24 concrete musical ideas were recorded, which was later expanded to 36. One of the experimental ideas that was used for creating this piece was that the group would decide on a key, and while the rest of the band left the room, one of them would play something, each person adding bits and pieces.
While playing around with his keyboards, Rick decided to amplify them through a Leslie rotating speaker. One particular note stood out very clearly. Dave called it "a strange resonance ... kind of a feedback thing ... Ping! A complete accident. We said 'That's great!' and we used it as the start of the piece. "
Wow. 2021 and random people listening to Echoes. God love you for this discovery!
This piece is still powerful 50 years after hearing it. You can never know how profoundly a piece of music can be on a person's life, but I do not think things are quite the same after hearing this. So many people use the word Journey. And it can even be repeated. Under certain circumstances, the crows... hearalds of impending death, scared the bejesus out of me. But then, there is the soft, beautiful, ascending ending too.
One of the best reactions I have ever seen, thank you so much.
I'd say they were seagulls.
This is still my all-time favourite song EVER. Bought on vinyl back in '72. So glad you enjoyed it 😀👍
This is my favorite song ever, because it shows all the different shades of life.
While you were listening to it, I was accompanying and soloing with my guitar the entire time in my little flat in Paris. Of course i was crying because it's Pink Floyd, they just get us. Thank you for this moment, I had the feeling of being in a movie where nothing matters, except this song.
Listen again at 16:10 when light comes back, the precise moment when I knew this would be my favorite song forever ! Thanks Sarah !
Appreciate !!!!
It’s great to finally find someone with the analogy that I thought. I would love to talk about this music with someone. I’m yet to meet them. Echoes will be my forever and I will be forever thankful to Pink Floyd for giving me a positive direction in life.
Can you believe this was recorded in 1970? Yes, 51 years ago! They were so ahead of their time. You dont listen to Pink Floyd, you experience it and it takes you on a journey that touches your soul. Please listen to Hey You from The Wall album, but you must see the lyrics while listening. A powerful song about loneliness and isolation that will spark your emotions.
I wouldn't say ahead of its time, I'd say it's exactly in the proper time it should be and it's timeless. They took all the music they had absorbed and made an amalgamation of Blues, Rock, Jazz, Classical, film scores and added an electronic component to it. This is what they're known for and no one has been close to repeating it, I think it's unrepeatable without being derivative.
I can still remember sitting with friends back in the 70s listening to this (altered state of mind of course because that's what you did back then) and commenting how we would still be listening to this 50 years later....
I've always interpreted the middle scary part as an unwelcome journey into some dark depth. Just when it seems all hope is lost the faint ping becomes a life line that builds gradually to a crescendo breaking through into the light.
Listened to it in the 70's and now I'm in my 70's and it's still great. Oh to be young again:)
Or taking a deep dive into an underwater cavern, and getting lost inside. Then before running out of air, a geyser shoots you up through the roof of the cave and into the streaming sunlight beaming down below the surface. Guiding you back up.
I think of it the same way.
"Meddle" is the music we chose for those road trips back in the 70's, riding into the night with headphones on and puffing on a joint of Red Bud. Minds blown!
I love this track, but particularly the genius of Rick Wrights keyboards.
I have known this piece for like 50 years and I'd drifted away from it. But I've remembered lately what a phenomenal piece of music this is... quite remarkable.
The greatest piece of art ever recorded.
Greatest piece of music of the twentieth century, Floyd's best song, and at least one of the greatest love songs ever written too, although it goes deeper than that.
It's definitely not my favourite Pink Floyd piece, but Pink Floyd is indisputably my favourite band, and has remained so for decades. Echoes is best enjoyed w/ the Live at Pompeii video. Where you get to see the band members, and a young and gloriously beautiful, David Gilmour playing it in a haunting amphitheatre.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 Live in Pompeii? NEVER. Only once, have I ever heard a live recording that's better than a timeless studio original: Bullet the Blue Sky live in New York, from Rattle n Hum. Otherwise, there's ALWAYS so much missing. A studio original, has so much depth, so much of the intellect poured into it: that's just not there. Another example I give, is another complex song (and my favourite Led Zepp): No Quarter. It's simply too complex to possibly do justice live, there are too many layers, too much is missing. Another thing, is that pretty much ALL live music sounds good-when you're there, but it sounds dreadful in recordings. But anyway, I appreciate that you at least appreciate Floyd.
I still remember the first time I listened to this song. Like 25 years ago now… and at that time the song was already like 25 years old. A depth that can reach across generations. Love.
Great reaction. IMHO, I believe this is one of the greatest songs ever written and Floyds high water mark.
This masterpiece best experienced laid back on your bed, in a dark room WITH your eyes closed, and big puffy analog earphones cable-tethered to an ol' skool hi-fi stereo turntable playing that entire b-side of the vinyl with the obligatory hisses, pops, and scratches..
Truly makes your heart leap, your skin craw, and your soul fly…
I’ve been doing ketamine therapy at a medical clinic and I listen to this song with my eyes closed in a dark room. Although I’m in a medical facility when I do it, it is a religious experience. It’s a little jarring when the the nurse wearing scrubs walks in at the end
Your statement " I can't wait to get carried away again"...totally spot on when experiencing Pink Floyd.
Listening to this song using a theatrical analogy, is like watching the Shining. It takes you to just about every place in the spiritual and earthly realms that you can go, and yet still return in one piece.
This is a masterpiece. I love the bits that are almost 'not music' but they just set you up for the massive chord progressions to follow.
This is a journey. Pink Floyd are masters of the journey in their music.
Best band of all time, possibly best piece of all time, best reaction video I’ve seen, this song is very emotional, and intense.
Truly extraordinary. Your way of interpreting this song is the one I have had all my life, since 1975 when I heard it for the first time. It is much more than music, it is the human soul, something that transcends far beyond the simple songs that are usually composed, it is: the essence of humanity, universal, great.
Sarah, you have reached the top of the musical class.
Meddle with Echoes is not an easy listen.
I was fortunate to see them live twice (The Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall). At the end of The Dark Side Of The Moon they went off and came back on again for an encore. As soon as we heard the first two "pings" on the piano we knew that they were going to do Echoes for an encore (and they did all of it). Amazing night.
Some Pink Floyd songs will always bring emotions out, no matter if they are happy, sad, or otherwise. They were masters of emotional musicality.
A little late to the party, but... your reaction reminds me of my own, when I first heard this 50 years ago, as a 16 year old. Played it over and over, standing in front of the stereo, sweat running down my body. Now here I am, 66, and I still think Echoes is one of the most perfect pieces of music ever recorded. Thanks for your reaction.
I’ve heard this song a million times. But watching her reminds me of the first time I ever experienced this magic. But to what it works through someone else is beyond words. I can feel what she is feeling. She is really listening, really experiencing and you cannot help but see & feel it with her all over again. Music truly is the language of the soul.
Pink Floyd is Perfection in the form of music
This piece live is fucking INSANE. It had me shivering.
I loved your emotional reaction. Nice to see someone really feeling this music. This was the album in which Pink Floyd really found their own new musical direction after the departure of their founding leader, Syd Barrett. It laid the groundwork for their best works to come (Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, parts of The Wall).
One of the BEST ALBUM SIDES of ALL TIME!!!! DAVID'S VOICE IS SOOOO SOOTHING!
TOTALLY AGREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember the first time I went through this song from start to finish. Unexperienced, I was peaking on LSD alone. It really was an intense experience specially in the depths section in the middle... But that build up afterwards really is worth it. It's definitely a song about courage and exploration. Great reaction video!
You too huh? LOL! Those were the days.
I did the same I was just starting to peak when I heard this for the First time !!!!
I will NEVER Forget this song and still listen to it very often. I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!!!!!
I bet that was great trip
So nice to see this exhilarating reaction to one of my favorite prog rock masterpieces from my teenage years! 💙💙💙
Early on in the song, you hear blues and funk. Keep in mind that the founder Syd Barrett named the band after two blues artists: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. As the band progressed, they moved away from shorter songs, pop, rock, blues and more into experimental and psychedelic, as you hear later in the song. One of the greatest musical artists of any time. There's a reason they've sold more albums than almost any artist on the planet.
Thanks ..... I new about Sid Barrett but did not know the name came from these 2 Blues artist's. LOVE THIS SONG !!!!
also Syd Barret helped make their one of their most psychedelic albums
Besides the live concert versions of this piece you might like the very early video at Pompeii with no audience, just them being recorded in the open air. They are hardly more than boys here. It is in two parts. I think this is during the time period when they were melding into a creative force, Roger's bass gives a mesmerizing beat to the dreamy flow.
Glad you love it. The first piece of Floyd Music I ever heard, in 1971, when it was released. I was 15.
A Epic Masterpiece. So you’re doing ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’. Wonderful.
Remember, it’s best listened to as it should be, the whole Album straight through. Just over 40 minutes.
Enjoy and hope you love that too. It’s another sensational Masterpiece. Just my own feelings. 🎶❤️🎶xx
Pink Floyd have create many Songs that by Masterpieces, but for me "echoes" was the Song that is on Top off all. The lyrics and the composion are absolutely unmachted. It is the highest piece of Art in Musikbuisness and History. When People listen to it in 100 Years, the will blown away, it is timeless. This Musik is from another World and tear out your Soul and penetrate it and but it back to your Body. I´m a Pink Floyd fan for decates and "echoes" is the crown jewel auf the entire Music History. Absolutely exceptional.... Greetings from germany
I love how you react to Pink Floyd. It makes my heart so joyful to see a new generation fully appreciating the best band ever to have been created.
Thank you!
I have been listening to Pink Floyd since 1973 when I was 13 and I fell in love with them and it has never lessened. They have gotten me through some bad times. When I am feeling down I just put them on and I am transported outside my mind and my trouble's.
Beautiful song and beautiful reaction.
Thank you 😊
I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan. In fact it is my favorite band since I heard them for the first time, a long time ago.
There are many Pink Floyd songs that I love, but Echoes is my favorite.
For me, it is imagining myself traveling through the cosmos aboard an intergallactic ship and listening to Echoes in the background.
Just perfect.
Thanks for reacting to this amazing song.
Thanks so much for watching
@@SarahDengler Thank you for reacting to Pink Floyd.
And above all for enjoying his incredible music without pausing in between, what you do is very rare.
Pink Floyd is to be enjoyed from start to finish without pauses or cuts.
Thanks again.
After so many years and listening to Echoes hundreds of times this is my favorite PF song. Just so prefect, mysterious, so many layers and great transitions. You are right it is a journey. That is why the longer prog rock songs are so great. The band has time and space to develop the scene and theme and take you on a wonderful ride. If you like Pink Floyd you should also try Yes in the 1971 to 1977 time period. They were also masters of prog rock epics that could take you on a sonic journey and create a movie via sound. So much amazing music was made at that time. I see you have reacted to many PF albums and you are not afraid to try the longer epics (like this) so that is a great reason to subscribe. Continue you Prog Rock journey. And do not worry for a first listen your reaction is perfect and is the way we felt 50 years ago. You need to listen to this type of music a few times to really hear it. Great reaction.
greatest song that's ever been written by humans.
Remember as a 13 year old in 74 had Echoes on sitting in my back room with my mates lights off scaring the pants off them! Phenomenal LP by the greatest band ever, love seeing younger people appreciate this genius music.
This song never fails to move me every time I hear it. I still remember the first time I heard it, and seemingly had a very similar reaction. It truly is amazing art.
When I used to listen to this as a 1970's high school kid, it felt like a journey from the blues to an alien planet--and somehow that worked very well for me.
This was the very first Pink Floyd album I had bought with my own money, and it mainly came about because I had been given a copy of 'More' which was their soundtrack album for the movie 'More' which is so so surreal, and I loved it so much (played it every night before bed for a long time) that I had to buy Echoes.. In those days the album did not come with a lyric sheet and I could not really follow the lyrics so easily just hearing them. But now when I read the lyrics, aside from the music, for me it tells a story of old souls emerging and seeing others in the street and connecting with them. And these souls are from Atlantis, whose kingdom's remnants archeologists have located under the sea. And now it's time for those old souls to rise again, connect with each other and build a new and more beautiful Atlantis.
Beautiful
More is a mostly forgotten Pink Floyd album that is up there with the best of them.
you mean 'meddle' not echoes.
The back story is that Pink Floyd wrote it to sync with the final act of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. When you watch the sync, both movie and song make perfect sense and you’ll never see art the same way again

I will never understand how Phantom Of The Opera ripped off this beautiful song and has never had to answer to the robbery !!
because roger waters didn't care about suing him
It was a far less litigious time. It really doesn't matter in the grand scheme. Phantom is a great song that moves many people to this day, as does Echoes. It seems better to me that both exist.
You are explaining this so very well that I'm going to listen to it over and over again like I used to I had forgotten about this track and it is scary and it is sad but it is also about renewal I think. Thank you Sarah for your honest feelings also you're the best!
as a teenager , when this came out, it requird a dark room, headphones and may be a tipple. the effect was mind blowing.
This song has some of the best lyrics I've ever heard. To me it's telling a story of the earths creation and mankinds journey/transformation from prehistoric beings to who we are now.
But also to recognise that no matter what kind of society we live in today at our core we are all human beings and thus the same.
There's probably many meanings behind this song but that's the main one I take away from it.
Yeah, me too!
You captured what the essence of the song is about for me extremely well!! An interpretation that has evolved with the passing decades since first hearing it when released. Hope you do not mind if I build off your description with some details where we may share the interpretation further?
The first verses of lyrics are describing our world when it was covered in ocean, when everything was "submarine". Then "something stirred and something tried", being the first multicellular organism to become self-mobile instead of carried by wherever the ocean currents dictated. Which evolved into life-forms ever more aware of their surroundings and becoming ever more self-determining in their actions. Evolution.
The pings at the start representing those evolving organisms "sounding out" mapping) their surroundings, somewhat similar to how a modern submarine vessel does with sonar.
The music could be representing various stages of that progression of more sentient life-forms over time and emergence onto land. The sombre sections being lows (say, natural disasters affecting the environment, mass extinction events, etc), the lighter, uplifting parts for the advancements made in the evolution of life, the times of flourishing diversity.
To me, the extremely chaotic section after the instrumental leading to it breaks down in structure and melody, is the asteroid that hit 65 million years ago, wiping out something like 50% of all animal and plant life. After the climate had settled down and the planet eventually healed from the impact, I believe, was the time when life-forms first evolved sonar. Represented by the simulated sounds of whales sounding out their surroundings, exploring, then learning to communicate with their relations via sonar, an evolution bonding them tighter as a species. The slowly emerging structure of a melody and tempo that builds in complexity out of the previous chaos = life flourishing once more.
The second verses, I think, representing someone's evolution from childhood to adulthood, their growing awareness of the world, themself and how closely related all humans are in our shared evolution, both past, present and future (yet, it can also easily be seen as humanity's evolution told through one person's life/changing views as they/us mature). They have matured and are the current day "something stirred and something tried" by attempting to reach out to other people, to share experiences so each can learn and grow with the other, as the whales did. In a sense, they are "sounding out" their/our surroundings further, exploring, another life-form continuing to evolve, which helps us all mature as a species.
A song about evolving and maturing and where that could lead us all (notice the song leaves on uplifting, hopeful notes to match the verses).
@@rorycallaghan5719 I had a lengthy reply typed out on my phone then my battery died and I lost it all so I've not the energy to type it out again unfortunately.
Needless to say I think you hit the nail on the head about echoes. The song shows the parallels between physical evolution through time and the cognitive evolution of humans.
It ends on a fairly hopeful note about optimism, free will/free thinking and a hunger to improve and evolve further.
The sun is brought up with is typical for pink floyd, symbolising our life/existence.
I guess the very last line could be our need for answers ''call to you (the sun) across the sky" about our existence and our future?
exactly what i feel
A lovely summation for a lovely song.
I really wish I could listen to Pink Floyd for the first time again. Just to revel in that revelation.
Yes it`s feels like a journey and this one is from `71... ! Pink Floyd is one of the best bands ever ! Thanks for sharing.
Love this girl. She knows when she,s listening to something special
Good of you to even give this a listen. I think this is what reaction videos are made to do. Amazing when some song just grabs your spirit and time just disappears
its beyond my understanding how people can compose music like this... this is beyond perfection...
Younger generations cannot cope with original creative music whereas we oldies at that time just jumping up and down with it....could not wait to get the next album from Pink Floyd..or from a whole host of bands all striving to be "different"
That spooky mid section instantly (and I mean INSTANTLY) made me think "this is what it sounds like after death, in the state between two lives/incarnations. I've never had such a strong reaction to any music before or since.. It was instant recognition, like a hammerblow to the soul. But not in an unpleasant way, just tremendously impactful.
Love your soulful response, by the way. Your soul is as beautiful as your face..
YES Indeed
For me this song represents life and earth as a whole. The initial high pitch piano note at the start represents the start of the universe or the start of earth and the creation of it all. David’s first solo along with the background keyboard makes think about how beautiful the creation of earth is and then the song gradually gets more hectic as it leads up to the high pitched screaming sounds, which could represents the chaos of the planet and the universe before life started developing.
The high pitched squealing part gives me the feeling of loneliness as if the earth is now capable of producing life but it’s empty.
And then finally the gradual build up to the ending and once again the single piano note represents life rising up and slowly becoming what is to be our past, present and future.
That’s how I view this piece when I listen to it. I had to listen to it a couple times before I fully understood this concept but it brought a tear to my eye once I got it :)
This composition is a message from our descendants to us, our ancestors... Pink Floyd - ahead of time for many decades ahead. To distribute the genius of this group - you need to create a branch of science. But I'm sure what God has given is talent. And science can't explain it
I Sarah 👋🏻 - loved this. Ive never encountered a band where I feel every instrument, every effect, every distinct sound is so intentionally placed, so exactly intended to create the whole picture as with Floyd. So engrossing, so captivating, so skilful so thought provoking. ...... and I think your face and your words afterwards just confirmed that. Loved this.
Dark side of the moon. Oh my, Im looking forward to your reaction to that. Better get the tissues ready girl 😉 it’ll poke you right in the emotions! Lol i agree its the best to hear them in order. If you are not staggered/blown away/really affected by it, I will be equally surprised. It didnt sit at the top of the album charts for years for no good reason lol.
Then you will be ready to hear Wish you were here.
Great reaction Sarah, keep it going 👋🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏽
You've said it all, this is very powerful! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so for your continuous support 🙏😊
@@SarahDengler its a joy to see someone else discover it, to see their take and what they get from it. Enjoy Sarah 👍🏻
You are beautiful and your reactions to Pink Floyd are heartfelt. Love you ❤
I remember that it had just been out a year when I heard it for the first time at a high school party. No one said a word for about five minutes after it had finished. "What did we just listen to?" Thus, my entry into the world of Pink Floyd.
I know that feeling lol
The second that the music stopped ~ the baby started crying !
Echoes is Pink Floyd's signature song!
Still one of my favorite songs of all time. It is LONG but worth it. 19:47 The first time I heard that riff, it reminds me of a like light or sheer positive energy coming out of the darkness.
Whats the name of that song?
@@canedomaldonadoalfredo4642 Echoes, from the album Meddle.
Pink Floyd is the best band in the World
My favorite part of the song is from 0:01 to 23:29!
Why? You don’t like 0:00 part?! Thats my favorite part! Relax just kiddin’ lol
ABSOLUTELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The word you’re looking for is “perfection”…… 👍🏻
Very enlightened to our souls.. this piece of music has no equal. Good morning. Thanks to you and utube
Of course is this a masterpiece and I really love your wonderful, wonderful reaction. It reminds me to the time 50 years ago when I first listened to this unbelievable composition.
I'm glad you do! Thanks 😊
Pink Floyd is one of my favorite rock and roll bands and your emotions were sincere and raw that's what happens when music hits you to the core of emotions pink Floyd does that to people
I first heard this song in the backseat of my parent's car on a day trip. It was exciting hearing such revelatory much. Put me in a good mood. And, I still go back to it over a decade later. It's a special song.
I've been studying geography, and one of my favorite things is learning about various African cultures. It'd be disappointed if I never got to see Nigeria someday. Cheers! ✌️
It's a wonderful thing they created! It makes feel very much inside myself, and also transported, somehow, at the same time.
That's so right
Thank you for sharing your reaction - I was blown away like you, exhausted, haunted, puzzled, amazed, speechless, feeling on a deep trip,… So happy such great music/art exists and touches generation after generation.
The way you GET Pink Floyd tells me you were made to listen and they were made for you as well! Keep the journey alive! ;-)
Great job. Check out Echoes Live in Gdansk from 2006. Gilmour and Wright (keyboardist) play the entire thing note for note in a beautifully staged rendition. This would be one of the great Richard Wright's last performances of the song before his death. Richard Wright is one of the founding members of Pink Floyd. After his death David Gilmour said he would not play the song in concert again. He was such an essential part of the piece. Their musical interplay at the end of this Gdansk performance is heart-wrenchingly beautiful.
Oh my, this just gave the song a whole new meaning to me, i can't imagine how Gilmour feels everytime he listens to this song.
Thank you for sharing your Echoes experience with us. I really appreciate that you continued on listening, although you experienced some unpleasant feelings at some places. This is what PF does, why they are the best band that ever existed. You feel changed after listening to their music, their genius. You feel, you think, you experience something wonderful-even if it draws out painful feelings at times as well. I just found your channel today, subbed. I can recommend, as others here have, that you now check out a live version of this masterpiece. But also, check out all their other masterpieces-if you haven't already.
I'm really glad you enjoyed my reaction, thank you so much, live in pompeii will be coming up soon!
I would thoroughly recommend the live version in David Gilmour 'Remember That Night 2006. It's truly stunning.
Great! Thanks 😊🙏
Totally agree. It's a great blend of the album version and the live at pompeii version. I actually think it is the perfect version. Echoes is easily in my top 3 pink floyd song's.
@@floydianepic3259 Gdansk is even better I feel
@@marcusburns1973 Big agree. Gdansk is echoes at it's very best
I went to the Albert Hall shows and that first ping was just spine tingling, even on the third night it was just extraordinary.
Fascinating. Your description was very close to what they originally wanted to interpret.
It looked like you went without going. On a “voyage”.
If I were to travel through a black hole, this would be my companion, after all these years, as a masterpiece it persists. ❤️ Pink Floyd.
I love the first half of this song quite a bit, the second half too. The chiming, the slow introduction of new instruments, and the lyrics. Telling the story of the genesis of humanity and the constant fight from life to exist. But then the song gets quiet. We're left alone, in the world that was created for us. No hope from above.
And then we hear it again. The chime returns. Warning that our journey is not yet over, that there is more to overcome.
You react so strongly to music, and it’s an absolute joy to watch. As you move your arms and hands to some parts, the expressions on your face, in your eyes, makes me understand Abd be moved by the music more… thank you…. 💕
Added later: what I got was life emerging from the seas onto land, right through to the movement/development into space and the universe.
I remember thinking, "Wait... is it alive? Is there life? it's alive! it's life!" That hypnotic ping, like water feeding the scorched earth and then the chords,... and the sorrowful viola scanning the scarred earth, but proving that the life was real and new and then I realized the slowly growing, slowly entering my mind syncopation, getting stronger, life bloodflow, and with the guitar comes animation, and the symbals. and then suddenly running....
A subtle way this tune I've always felt describes a part of life's creation.
One of the best songs from PF…. With one of the best rock grooves ever written.
Your face is so expressive while you are listening to this. I can tell you appreciate great music. Keep it up!
My favorite part is right at the end where the keyboard and guitar are echoing each other. It's like they are talking to one another.
WE are echoes of a distant time.
