If it was our band I would be comatose lol.Maybe even annoyed as a artist because you're like hey look I have new stuff!! But they keep liking your old shit your have to keep playing over and over...
Totally disagree with you. When they did Saucer Full of Secrets, Floyd actually cut into the music world that made a change for all music. They used a zippo Lighter on a guitar that gave the twang sound that country music immediately took up.. thus u hear alot of the twang in Country music from the 70's forward. If you think Dark Side of the moon was their best rock album.. you need to look at Floyd again.
@Rock star I agree. Speaking for myself, I have never been able to consider any of their albums as stand-alone, rather in the progression of the musicians. No way am I going to pick a favourite. It's like trying to pick out a piece of history that is most important. None of it happens without the preamble nor the resulting direction.
Don't forget that the music is only half of the extraordinary and legendary appeal.,.....the lyrics are pretty damn special and memorable and unique adding to the Pink Floyd mystique!!!!
It's funny he should say that because that was supposedly one of the biggest rifts between Roger and David. I just got done watching "The Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story," and Gilmour says that after "Dark Side" blew up, he was extremely concerned that the content of the lyrics would assume more and more importance over the music within the band. Whereas for him, the music must come FIRST, lyrics second. That was actually how "Dark Side" was written, but he was worried that due to how successful the album had become as a "concept album" that Roger would start thinking exclusively about concepts, and the group would attempt to fit music around them. In some cases it worked (for me at least), but in some cases, like "The Final Cut" and almost all of Roger's solo career, it's been absolutely dreadful. But even with something like "The Wall," which was immensely commercially successful...….Dave flat out says in "The Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story" that "I can't really be bothered to talk all that much about The Wall really. It's slightly lacking in soul for me." Meaning, too much of the music was sacrificed in order to make the lyrics work. They had to edit a ton of music from that album in order to fit it all on to two discs due to the space limitations of vinyl at the time. His negative views of "The Wall" were not just related to the fact that the band wasn't getting along at the time. He just felt that it was only a matter of time until Pink Floyd was led to a poison river by Roger, and that certainly happened on "The Final Cut," which every member of the Floyd and so many of their fans totally hate. I mean, how damn songs can you write about war and madness? Not trying to pick on Roger who was a major force in the Floyd's success, but I feel Dave has a point.
@@MattSmith-iq1ld - your comments are spot on. I feel there was always a bit of a fight between the importance of the lyrics versus the importance of the music and in later years that situation became more prominent. Now, with Roger turning a lot more political and upsetting the right wing fraternity in the process I can only see his politicisation of his music getting more pronounced. At his age now, he doesn't give a damn what anyone else thinks - he'll do it anyway. He can afford to!

sean mitchell agreed - even though the song(s) - music and words - are credited to Waters, it was the others - especially Gilmour - that made the music great. I think this non-recognition by Water's was the root cause of their disputes. note at the end of all of the Division Bell concerts (captured as PULSE) Gilmour recognizes his cohort Roger - "who's great words I have the pleasure to sing every night" even though the song(s) - words and music - are solely credited to Roger. it was David's way of saying - "yah, you did the lyrics but we all did the music".
phishfearme2 yeah the others absolutely contributed a lot, without them the pink floyd sound is not there. roger is very talented and contributed a lot, even musically and definitely not just lyrically, but you can hear the difference in sound when everyone went their own ways.
As much as I love other ranges of music.....its always Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin I come back to and no matter how many times I heard all the albums for both band....they are just as good as the first time hearing them.....Ive never had that feeling before.

It’s so funny to read the reactions of the few interviewers that did get to see the Floyd backstage because they are so taken aback that Pink Floyd is nothing like most other rock bands of the time. They’re all the sons of Cambridge geniuses and professors and stuff. They’re sipping on tea, reading, always down for a good game of badminton or tennis (especially roger). And just living very relaxing life’s.
Absolutely. I recommend listening to The Dark Side of the Moon on 3 or 4 grams of Psilocybin. Then tell me if the music of Pink Floyd moves you emotionally.

Pink Floyd was Syd Barrett. Richard Wright, Nick Mason, and David Gilmour couldn't write lyrics to save their lives and that never changed. They had to pay people to write lyrics for the Division Bell. When David joined Pink Floyd none of the band members could write songs or lyrics. It took them four years to manage that.

*I always have and always will feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have been able to have seen Pink Floyd perform live twice, Rodger Waters live, (the Wall tour), and David Gilmour solo.

Not enough of the sound landscape the whole band used to makes us trip into.
When I was a kid in the'70s, I was listening to Pink Floyd. Being French, I didn't understand anything about the lyrics. I was saying that this music was like magic ! it was so beautiful ! 50 years later, it's still just as fantastic. I can listen to Pink Floyd every day, I think I'll never get tired of it! The greatest musicians of the 60s or 70s are English, there is no doubt about it (Pink Floyd, Stones, who, Bowie, Beatles.................)
I never realized how gorgeous David Gilmoure and Roger Waters were when they were young. I wish men still had long hair and wore jeans and T-shirts like this....
Natalya Many men have long hair love, are you in the states? Look at the NFL? Many older musicians still do, not all men have brush cuts. I'm 53 and have had long hair since i was 15. 💝
D Lux I live in Michigan, the states. I've been teased about my long hair since i was 15! Even my woman in Germany, Berlin her friends say i look from the 70s or a hippie. A guy at the bar last week said drunk, heyyyy Sabastion Bach. Smfh
You can be, it start with an education. David Gilmour and Syd Barrett went to Cambridge College of Arts and Technology. Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Richard Wright.studied architecture at Regent Street Polytechnic, now the University of Westminster. I believe they were incredibly intelligent and were bound to succeed an anything they did. Because they had the education to help them in anything they did in life. They we're not your run of the mill garage band. The events in their lives converged to bring them together and all their combined experiences made them Pink Floyd.
wootuser you're right about everything you just said. Education and intellect are very important things to help you make astounding works of art, and to help you through life. But one of Albert Einsteins greatest quotes is "Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the Universe." I still believe that as long as one looks at the world and beyond with a timeless sense of creativity and freedom, and views the canvas of nature before his/her eyes and puts it into work of his/her own, then I believe you can still achieve a lot. But I do agree, knowledge is still an important factor in being successful.
It doesn't seem to me he was thinking that at all. He looked absolutely exhausted, not annoyed at the discussion. 100% agree with what Simon said also.^
david wrote all the melodies on dsotm. roger only wrote lyrics. all the roger demos were made after the band demos. david wrote all the music. david gilmour is pink floyd
I am still amazed, and in total awe, how four young men in their early to mid 20's coukd have conceived such an epic masterpiece as Dark Side Of The Moon. It is just perfection. As was Meddle, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Final Cut. But to conceive the greatest album of your career, at such a young age, is quite simply, ASTOUNDING. The whole band should have received knighthoods. Roger may have knocked his back lol, but for their contribution to music, in particular Rock music, they quite rightly have earned their place in history.
Well- think Felix Mendellsohn wrote Romeo and Juliet Ballet music as a teenager, Mozart was writing masterpiece operas in his late teens, early 20s--- there is something about the energy of youth that drives some young people to do amazing things! You don't edit yourself as much and you don't develop the self-doubt that sometimes comes with older age and you don't have the same responsibilities (family, career) -- you can experiment and have time to do it!
Not to take anything from the four members of Floyd on DSOTM, but a major shout out needs to go to Alan Parsons. Don't think it would be the same album if another produced it. He has some epic ideas. Love the idea of all the clocks going off on the Time track.....
Why didn't they keep Dave's guitar licks during Brain Damage? I never thought the song could sound better but then I hear that. Must of been Roger's decision to edit it out. LOLOLOL
+Michael Greco +joj Aktekin Well, it's the same interview where he looks totally blazed and tells the interviewer that the rumors of their drug use are vastly overrated, "You can trust us," while smirking. And his eyeballs are seriously...pink.
Gilmour has the sweetest sounding tone. Clever bastard. Most of it is in his hands but his tone is fairly consistent no matter what he's playing through. Love that Lewis guitar!
If Eddie and The Hot Rods hadn’t already penned it, the Wall should’ve included Beginning of the End. Never liked the album. Quite ironic it spawned a hit single and one of their best creations.
Anyone else find it interesting that they seem to have such high pitched speaking voices, yet David and Roger typically sing more baritone? Shocked me a little
Partly because the microphones that were used back then to record regular speaking voices were of relative low quality compared to what they used to record their singing.
a reason Roger might be so dominant here is that he wrote and recorded virtually the entire demo for DSOTM, so like a great film director, he pushed all the players to their very best and they produced a masterpiece and, as was said, arguably the greatest rock album of all time
Kurt Borchers I thought that was for the wall. In DSOTM, you can clearly hear more contributions from the other members, like Great Gig and Us and Them were basically Rick's songs
Kurt Borchers DSOTM wasn't really Rogers baby, although he was sort of taking on the role of band leader at this point. As Rick wrote "Great Gig in the Sky" and all the music for "Us and Them" which is one of the album's absolute standout tracks, I'd say that it is very much a band effort. Edit: Felt Puppets Missed your reply saying the same thing!
Their infighting and their arguments is the best proof that each and everyone of them truly cares about the *top* quality of the product they all want to produce. Perfectionists can be difficult to work with but they certainly deserve every cents they make from their audience.
Irving Berlin said once that lyrics make a song a hit, but the music gives it its lasting quality. “Dark Side...” is a great example, you could take out all the lyrics and just listen to the instrumental and be really moved emotionally.
Tbh I feel like it's the opposite, the music makes the song a hit. How many times has someone really thought a song was a bop and then heard the lyrics and were surprised that's what the song was about? The lyrics, at least to me, are what give a song it's lasting quality well after the magic of the music has died down.
Regardless of the answer to that , let's thank our lucky stars they did ! Life shaping music for me anyway ! NEVER been a day that FLOYD couldn't fix 😃
david wrote all the melodies on dsotm. roger only wrote lyrics. all the roger demos were made after the band demos. david wrote all the music. david gilmour is pink floyd
pink floyd eclipses any musicians today in pure musical geniuses and enjoyment and remains the standard for bands that are *in it* for the music and historically penetrating musical perfection
When it comes to music..despite all the music we have today, i always end up listening to Led Zep and Pink Floyd. Both have their own uniqueness and style..which i cannot compare. But their music never failed to elicit somekind of emotional reaction to me.. These are,a bunch of lads with god given talent and skills working their ass off to make brilliant music for us to enjoy and it seems like we just can't get enough of it.. !
@@greenspaces4683 Yet, 'ego' was obviously a distinct ingredient of this album, so actually, 'ego' CAN be involved in making something great. Hold on, I thought you said 'Ego is never great'? How wrong can you be, lol.
Hmmm. Roger Waters had the better overview about the artistic concept but in terms of musical details Gilmour was the man! This kind of ego clashing was good for the Pink Floyd and their musical quality. Maybe it was something difficult for both...
Some of the most influential men that have graced the planet where high school and college dropouts. None of The Beatles,Stones or Zeppelin graduated from University. They were young and busy making rock-n-roll. Elvis,Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix no college so that's not true. Some of em might have gone for a semester or two then left. To become musical legends, most of the greatest comedians sans a few like Robin Williams.

PURE GOLD. This footage really captures what made the post Syd Barrett Pink Floyd into the most respected rock band of their era. The quickest sharpest creative mind in the business working with the most feeling guitarist around backed up by the simple mechanical beat of a vintage car enthusiast. What a shame then that the magnificent Richard Wright was not in this clip, he the creator of the giant smooth swelling sea of chords on which Floyd melodies so effortlessly sailed into our lives.
Why are people surprised that the camera studio footage was "staged"? Do you really think they would have agreed to have crews install tracks and have movie cameras rolling around in the studio while they were in the middle of recording an album? Do you really think the camera and crew are totally silent as they move?
I've always been of the opinion that the scenes you are referring to (which were added to the "Live at Pompeii" film for its 1974 re-release) were actually filmed AFTER "Dark Side..." was recorded and released and they were simply filmed, mucking about with the 16 track, allowing David to record some off the cuff but pretty spectacular guitar solos over the already completed album. But it's still a fantastic thing to see. Anytime I can see a young Dave Gilmour make an electric guitar come to life, sounding almost like an extra vocalist, I am happy. He is without a doubt my favorite guitarist ever.

@@Ballardian it didnt sound quite as toppy
@@wickedhouston5538 To be more toppy or less toppy. That is the question.
When I was a kid in the'70s, I was listening to Pink Floyd. Being French, I didn't understand anything about the lyrics. I was saying that this music was like magic ! it was so beautiful !
50 years later, it's still just as fantastic. I can listen to Pink Floyd every day, I think I'll never get tired of it!
The greatest musicians of the 60s or 70s are English, there is no doubt about it (Pink Floyd, Stones, who, Bowie, Beatles.................)
It really is quite amazing how much brilliant music came out of this little island
There's a world of great rock music out there, but I've never been quite as endeared or moved by any rock music as I have been Pink Floyd.
2:42 "In the finished article, the only thing that is important is whether it moves you or not, nothing else is important at all."
I'm LITERALLLY in class watching these amazing men. UGH! I love them.
Good for you
Does it make you wet ,?
The music drowns David's cries of 'Is this fucking toppy enough for you?'
I never realized how gorgeous David Gilmoure and Roger Waters were when they were young. I wish men still had long hair and wore jeans and T-shirts like this....
Natalya Many men have long hair love, are you in the states? Look at the NFL? Many older musicians still do, not all men have brush cuts. I'm 53 and have had long hair since i was 15. 💝
I don't know where you live, but men literally still dress and look like this all the time
D Lux Where? I live in the states. .
@@m42037 maybe it's more of a West coast thing, but it's not uncommon to see dudes with long hair dressed in generic clothes like t-shirts and jeans.
D Lux I live in Michigan, the states. I've been teased about my long hair since i was 15! Even my woman in Germany, Berlin her friends say i look from the 70s or a hippie. A guy at the bar last week said drunk, heyyyy Sabastion Bach. Smfh
I wish I could be as creative as them.
You can be, it start with an education.
David Gilmour and Syd Barrett went to Cambridge College of Arts and Technology.
Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Richard Wright.studied architecture at Regent Street Polytechnic, now the University of Westminster.
I believe they were incredibly intelligent and were bound to succeed an anything they did. Because they had the education to help them in anything they did in life. They we're not your run of the mill garage band. The events in their lives converged to bring them together and all their combined experiences made them Pink Floyd.
wootuser you're right about everything you just said. Education and intellect are very important things to help you make astounding works of art, and to help you through life. But one of Albert Einsteins greatest quotes is "Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the Universe." I still believe that as long as one looks at the world and beyond with a timeless sense of creativity and freedom, and views the canvas of nature before his/her eyes and puts it into work of his/her own, then I believe you can still achieve a lot. But I do agree, knowledge is still an important factor in being successful.
İ wisssssshhh
Practice
You are. Start by stripping away everything that happened to you in your so-called "education."
I love brain damage +eclipse so epic.
More toppy, less toppy, so this is where Spinal Tap got their ideas from.
Watch Gilmour from 1:38
"Dear god Roger, just shut up..."
My favourite is around 2:12 to 2:30
Jordan Miller David just kept sipping that tea, lmao.
It doesn't seem to me he was thinking that at all. He looked absolutely exhausted, not annoyed at the discussion. 100% agree with what Simon said also.^
2:48
Dave: This outta shut him up!
😐💾✋😏
I don't know what you are looking at, but isn't happening in the video I'm watching.
david wrote all the melodies on dsotm. roger only wrote lyrics. all the roger demos were made after the band demos. david wrote all the music. david gilmour is pink floyd
I am still amazed, and in total awe, how four young men in their early to mid 20's coukd have conceived such an epic masterpiece as Dark Side Of The Moon. It is just perfection. As was Meddle, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Final Cut. But to conceive the greatest album of your career, at such a young age, is quite simply, ASTOUNDING. The whole band should have received knighthoods. Roger may have knocked his back lol, but for their contribution to music, in particular Rock music, they quite rightly have earned their place in history.
Herman Munster l
Well- think Felix Mendellsohn wrote Romeo and Juliet Ballet music as a teenager, Mozart was writing masterpiece operas in his late teens, early 20s--- there is something about the energy of youth that drives some young people to do amazing things! You don't edit yourself as much and you don't develop the self-doubt that sometimes comes with older age and you don't have the same responsibilities (family, career) -- you can experiment and have time to do it!
Yes, and the Beatles created their whole work in just 8 years, while they were in their 20's.
Not to take anything from the four members of Floyd on DSOTM, but a major shout out needs to go to Alan Parsons. Don't think it would be the same album if another produced it. He has some epic ideas. Love the idea of all the clocks going off on the Time track.....
Anthony deville , Alan Parson did not produce the record. He was the sound engineer, but I think your point still stands. The sound is exquisite!
I have to say it!
I love Roger's nose 👃🏼
I do too! I don't want to sound weird, but I want to go back in time, and poke his nose. 👃🏻
Bet you get a lot of Coke up that hooter
Joella Z jew
Paul Davies haha
@@pauldavies8638 after losing Syd, you can bet they stayed away from the more powerful stuff. use your head.
Love the way he says "Don't worry about that". Don't know why.
"Christ! where'd rock n Roll be without feedback?" I love him:')
I like Roger small laugh at 1:47.
Abonanno24601
ahahahahah ^^
Why didn't they keep Dave's guitar licks during Brain Damage? I never thought the song could sound better but then I hear that. Must of been Roger's decision to edit it out. LOLOLOL
Erin McGee Lolol, when I'm in times in trouble, David Gilmour comes to me with, "don't worry about that" 😅
Roger sounds so young
He was 29
How young
David was so high that day
Michael Greco How do you know that ?!?!
+Michael Greco +joj Aktekin Well, it's the same interview where he looks totally blazed and tells the interviewer that the rumors of their drug use are vastly overrated, "You can trust us," while smirking. And his eyeballs are seriously...pink.
well of course
@@floydpink4416 "hOw dO yOu kNoW thAt?"
Jesus Christ ive never seen anyone more baked than David in this footage....
Look at nick masons eyes at 3:30
65 years old and still consider Floyd best of all time.
Can't wait for this album to come out....... cool vintage vibe.
It finally came out 🥳 can't wait to see what's next
david is so high
You think? lol...yeah I'm sure he was. 😏
R : Maybe they said that, but here he’s high like a comet.
R probably away from chemicals, but they smiled weed as seen on many videos clips from the live at Pompeii set.
That's what I was thinking too. Not super high or anything, but certainly not unaffected by some moderately mind-altering substance.
robert daniel He is so stoned in all of this footage lol
Is it just me or would anybody else love to hear a longer version of that guitar snippet starting at 3:45? It sounds incredible.
Beautiful band..
Sadie Ragusa ... Not so bad yourself darling
Richard Deane This is a 3 year old comment. What are you doing?
EDIT: It has now been 4 years.
Relatively Cool i always wonder
I fucking love Roger's voice! OMG!
Gilmour has the sweetest sounding tone. Clever bastard. Most of it is in his hands but his tone is fairly consistent no matter what he's playing through. Love that Lewis guitar!
If Roger was annoying here imagine him during making the wall
If Eddie and The Hot Rods hadn’t already penned it, the Wall should’ve included Beginning of the End. Never liked the album. Quite ironic it spawned a hit single and one of their best creations.
Anyone else find it interesting that they seem to have such high pitched speaking voices, yet David and Roger typically sing more baritone? Shocked me a little
Partly because the microphones that were used back then to record regular speaking voices were of relative low quality compared to what they used to record their singing.
The pitch is edited, you can tell because Brain Damage sounds half a step higher or so.
What a gift. Thanks for sharing!
Where would rock n roll be without feedback?
It's not like they were recording Link Wray covers.
Can you please tell what does this meant ?
I love the thought of people in my age range (23) diving into the deep and mystical depths of Pink Floyds music.
a reason Roger might be so dominant here is that he wrote and recorded virtually the entire demo for DSOTM, so like a great film director, he pushed all the players to their very best and they produced a masterpiece and, as was said, arguably the greatest rock album of all time
Balls.
Kurt Borchers I thought that was for the wall. In DSOTM, you can clearly hear more contributions from the other members, like Great Gig and Us and Them were basically Rick's songs
Nope
Kurt Borchers DSOTM wasn't really Rogers baby, although he was sort of taking on the role of band leader at this point. As Rick wrote "Great Gig in the Sky" and all the music for "Us and Them" which is one of the album's absolute standout tracks, I'd say that it is very much a band effort.
Edit: Felt Puppets Missed your reply saying the same thing!
Best Pink Floyd Video with a live Interview ❣️ It's great hearing DSOTM & seeing David recording in the Studio,
Love you David🎶 and those Jeans💕🇬🇧
Every young band today should watch this to realize how far from greatness they really are.
I’ve never seen David with such glazed eyes. My favourite guitarist.
2:20 -- what went through my head was "look at that vein!"
Their infighting and their arguments is the best proof that each and everyone of them truly cares about the *top* quality of the product they all want to produce. Perfectionists can be difficult to work with but they certainly deserve every cents they make from their audience.
Its so fucking beautiful see Rogers & Gilmour Speaking :')
Veo estos videos y de verdad, me enamoran cada vez más de lo que ya estaba por Pink Floyd
waters is such a legend
'Without Gilmour they wouldn't have sounded the same'
or
'With a different guitarist, Waters would have a broken nose'
1:47 I love Roger's squeal, i watched it several times!
i envy them so much. They were such a great musicians and they lived in really great times.
Irving Berlin said once that lyrics make a song a hit, but the music gives it its lasting quality. “Dark Side...” is a great example, you could take out all the lyrics and just listen to the instrumental and be really moved emotionally.
Tbh I feel like it's the opposite, the music makes the song a hit. How many times has someone really thought a song was a bop and then heard the lyrics and were surprised that's what the song was about? The lyrics, at least to me, are what give a song it's lasting quality well after the magic of the music has died down.
its awesome to watch people that are in the moment of creating something great...
I remember buying this album when I was about 14 and finding out my mom was listening to it more than I was when I went to school.
Aye my moms raised me on floyd too. Cheers.
david's play is just BEAUTIFUL
" Don´t worry bout that. Christ ! Where would rock´ n roll be without feedback " :-)
Song still gives Goosebumps! What a wonderful group!
Is it just me being old, or do those guys look WAAAAYYYYY too young to have accomplished what they did with that album?
Regardless of the answer to that , let's thank our lucky stars they did ! Life shaping music for me anyway ! NEVER been a day that FLOYD couldn't fix 😃
Like The Beatles with Sgt. Pepper's?
How old were they?
they werent that young. they were close to 30 years old
Marcus Doyle around 25
Roger was on point when he said it matters what moves you in the music.
The guy knows his shit.
What an amazing album and band!
Yeah and then Waters turn himself in a joke. Since then (thr wall) his music doesnt move me
@@Watcher4111 but it moves me
This is from the documentary film "Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii." I still have a copy on VHS. Wish I had a VCR to play it.
I have that on dvd, its still out there i would imagine.
Scott Paules me too. Great movie. Echos part 1 is my fave ,when Rodgers plays the best bass line I’ve ever heard!
The whole of live in pompeii is here on youtube no need for a vcr
I love David's grin. Like @ 3:55. He's such a sweetness.
alot of floyd fans went either Waters or Gilmour. this video shows why i went Waters but i love them both.
Went Waters too....
david wrote all the melodies on dsotm. roger only wrote lyrics. all the roger demos were made after the band demos. david wrote all the music. david gilmour is pink floyd
@@wickedhouston5538 funny 80% wrote by waters use even wikipedia :D
Just take a look at the work/songs/albums waters made after leaving Pink Floyd.... CRAP!
@@PedroBeckGCosta another funny boy 😁😁😁
what would rock and roll be without feedback...
2:08 Gilmour showing us who’s truly got the biggest guns in the band (literally and creatively)
Incomparable genio : ROGER WATERS 💛 te amooooo!!!!
pink floyd eclipses any musicians today in pure musical geniuses and enjoyment and remains the standard for bands that are *in it* for the music and historically penetrating musical perfection
loooove you Roger!! ♥
When it comes to music..despite all the music we have today, i always end up listening to Led Zep and Pink Floyd. Both have their own uniqueness and style..which i cannot compare. But their music never failed to elicit somekind of emotional reaction to me.. These are,a bunch of lads with god given talent and skills working their ass off to make brilliant music for us to enjoy and it seems like we just can't get enough of it.. !
Every great band has a great ego / personality driving it. It's apparent that person is Roger Waters
fuck off ya wanker! its Floyd!
Ego is never great
@@greenspaces4683 Yet, 'ego' was obviously a distinct ingredient of this album, so actually, 'ego' CAN be involved in making something great. Hold on, I thought you said 'Ego is never great'? How wrong can you be, lol.
here comes the torrent of angry roger vs david comments
Hmmm. Roger Waters had the better overview about the artistic concept but in terms of musical details Gilmour was the man! This kind of ego clashing was good for the Pink Floyd and their musical quality. Maybe it was something difficult for both...
Roger knows his shit
Some of the most influential men that have graced the planet where high school and college dropouts. None of The Beatles,Stones or Zeppelin graduated from University. They were young and busy making rock-n-roll. Elvis,Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix no college so that's not true. Some of em might have gone for a semester or two then left. To become musical legends, most of the greatest comedians sans a few like Robin Williams.
Brian May is an astrophysicist... Just saying.
Not many times one have the opportunity to watch a masterpiece of album being produced. Amazing.
I seen Roger in Hyde Park london, a few years back, it was brilliant, what a guy
"In the finished article, the only thing that is important is whether it moves you or not; there's nothing else that's important at all."
I want this on a T-shirt 👌
Roger had such a great speaking voice before all that smoking took its toll.
The discussion about disagreement within the group was prophetic.
David is high as a kite
This has always been one of my favorite parts from Live at Pompeii. So amazing to see studio bits of the making of one of the best albums ever produced.
"where would rock n roll be without feedback" well said Mr Gilmour
I'm so glad I wrote this song and let them take credit for it. You're welcome, everybody.
Roger's so breathtaking in Amy manner.....!
pink floyd, the one band that i can say changed my outlook on life, their music will never grow old
Until today when I hear Brain Damage I expect to listen to David Gilmour's arrangement on guitar.
but it's there. i can hear it!
I love seeing the guitarist jam trying to come up with a guitar solo. Seeing the birth of a solo is awesome to hear.
Haha "where would rock and roll be without feedback"
Roger! Genious
Why did they not use Gilmour's guitar fills in the final recording? They sound amazing!
UN1888 They're absolutely sexy
david wrote all the melodies on dsotm. roger only wrote lyrics. all the roger demos were made after the band demos. david wrote all the music. david gilmour is pink floyd
@@wickedhouston5538 wtf XD
Good question they are amazing
Sounds better without them tbh
PURE GOLD. This footage really captures what made the post Syd Barrett Pink Floyd into the most respected rock band of their era. The quickest sharpest creative mind in the business working with the most feeling guitarist around backed up by the simple mechanical beat of a vintage car enthusiast. What a shame then that the magnificent Richard Wright was not in this clip, he the creator of the giant smooth swelling sea of chords on which Floyd melodies so effortlessly sailed into our lives.
Why are people surprised that the camera studio footage was "staged"? Do you really think they would have agreed to have crews install tracks and have movie cameras rolling around in the studio while they were in the middle of recording an album? Do you really think the camera and crew are totally silent as they move?
I've always been of the opinion that the scenes you are referring to (which were added to the "Live at Pompeii" film for its 1974 re-release) were actually filmed AFTER "Dark Side..." was recorded and released and they were simply filmed, mucking about with the 16 track, allowing David to record some off the cuff but pretty spectacular guitar solos over the already completed album. But it's still a fantastic thing to see. Anytime I can see a young Dave Gilmour make an electric guitar come to life, sounding almost like an extra vocalist, I am happy. He is without a doubt my favorite guitarist ever.
NothingHereToSeeMoveOn
That’s was very informative. Thank you.
Realmente una Joya... una gloria Pink floyd, espectacular esta filmación......!!!
back when david and roger didnt hate each other
Feels like a real life spinal tap, so passive aggressive love it
David gilmour the sexiest man ever..
My favorite song. This is a gem. Thanks for the upload.
It wasn’t until the band broke up that I became aware of Roger being passionately opinionated. You can sure see evidence of that in this video.
Drove the band to success though
A leader knows what he wants.
