I can't even count how many times I've heard this song. And I get the same feeling every time.
I bet I'll have the same experience with many of their songs, including the unbelievable Us and Them which may be my favorite so far...
Floyd live in Pompei ,,is the single handed most powerful thing inhave heard in Music ,,they are beyond God's
Which same feeling? Can you describe? Or anyone else?
I felt like I was in another galaxy/dimension, and also roaming through the pits of hell at the same time in sections!!
One of the best ways to understand the musical relationship between Dave and Richard is by listening to the outro. the call and response
One of my fave parts, can't wait to see it again in Gdansk.....
I love your set up.
A million bright ambassadors of morning! way to go!
Best piece of music ever written, timeless beauty
Not sure how I missed your reaction to this - great! Thanks for sharing. 👍
Floyd is not a band, they are an experience!
I have no words for this,how many times have I watched& listened to this, countless… absolute pure talent& genius ❤🙏
Yep we can say we lived in the time of musical gods, we lived in the time of Pink Floyd.
Really if you think about it, how many legends lived at the same time as us? It's brilliant because I can't imagine it ever happening again in future generations...lucky us!
great react - thanks
Thank you so much 1234tori for watching and for your comment!
Bass and the drumms makes the music , my Dad teached me ... cause he was a drummer in early '60 and song the 2. voice same time ... yes , a lefthander he was , they are always special ... and when they are allways unice
and remember the time this vid was made ... like Paramount Picture Quality ... outstanding
I saw this film in a movie theater when it was initially released. Seeing this film is what prompted me to go see Pink Floyd live in concert (twice).
Must have looked and sounded great on the big screen!
Glad you appreciate Richard's contribution to PF sound! Highly underrated yet so much a part of it! Without David and Richard, Pink Floyd would not be! Seen them live many times over 50+ years and there is no band that compares! Truly insane talent they all had, especially coming from 60s with essentially a totally new genre all their own!
So wish I could have seen them live at some point now, but wasn't in the cards for me. Can't wait to hear more from Richard!
@@retroreactions.... For a very sort of modern sounding Pink Floyd check out his solo album "Broken China". I wish he could've been around longer bcuz he was honestly the glue that held the Floyd together! His other solo album from '78, Wet Dream is a very laid back and cool listen. Some of it has some feel of WYWH type stuff. Love them both. In the 80s before he rejoined Floyd he did some almost techno kind of stuff called Zee. It's very of its time and nothing like Floyd, but since you seem to like synths alot I figure I'd mention it. 👌 👌 Identity it's called. A little cheesy compared to today's standards, but it's worth peeking at it, a little.
👍😎 I saw them twice, 75 & 79 in Los Angeles. Seen a lot of concerts, they are the best, hands down.
Sweet, didn't know Richard had any solo albums...curious, are PF fans mostly also The Who fans? Strangely that band has not been mentioned even once in my many comments. Were they even prog?
@@retroreactions.... The Who pioneered the "Rock Opera" with their epic story in the two LP "Tommy". The Pinball Wizard! That's one of those things that you really have to listen to in it's entirety. Many of the instrumental passages are definitely in the prog vain for sure. Briefly it's the musical story of a young boy who has a traumatic experience as a little boy and becomes deaf and blind. In his 20s he finds that he has a knack for playing pinball. He beats the world champion and becomes this cultural/religious leader (after his brain switches his senses back on after a different trauma, so to speak). Tommy is one of the most important albums of the past 60 years easily! A few years later The Who did another one called "Quadrophenia". Another great album that borders on prog for sure, but The Who were also pioneers of hard rock! That's really what they're most known for. Pete Townsend was the Roger Waters of The Who writing most of the words and music.
masters of there domain !!!!
Well, I'm 60 now, and have heard this as well as so many other FLOYD pieces about 400 Gazillion times! And I still love them! Pink Floyd has had a huge impact on my life ! I just take for granted that so many people have never heard PF yet! I can remember when this came out! WOW! Time flies!!
Yes, I don't know why I never got into their music. I guess I was saving it for this channel haha! Yes time flies quicker than ever now...thanks for watching :)
Same here. I bought the SOYCD album in 1979 and I still love it from the first sec to the last sec 🙂
It's a perfect album!! Have a nice day Jessi and Snoop!!
It is amazing how 4 guys could create such a vast array of sounds, and assemble them in such a creative and wonderful way.
It was their destiny, and the whole world can benefit from it...
Progressive rock at its ultimate best.
The Live At Pompeii is a full concert and a whole video. They did this for the audience of all the ghosts of Pompei who were buried by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD (yeah, almost 2000 years ago). That "mud" was actually lava bubbling up.
Amazing piece of art!
What a brilliant idea to play in an ancient site like this location in Pompeii. Innovation and Pink Floyd seem to go hand-in-hand.
Totally! Proven many times in many ways...
Hope you’ve had a chance to watch this entire concert. Echoes is the front and back bookends of the concert.💗
Running a daily channel plus work and life if a bit chaotic! I have not, but hope to someday!!
@@retroreactions.... I fully understand!!! There are other things much more important.❤
:)
Dave's solo on this performance is probably the best ever of Echoes. That one note he brings up high near the beginning of the solo is the key to opening the inter-dimensional doorway in your soul. I've probably seen this video a hundred times and I never get tired of it. 👌 Set The Controls and Careful w/ That Axe are really great on this too. Much better than just the regular studio version. Rock on! 🤘 🤘 🙌
Nice, thanks. Def want to see more from Pompeii...
The performances of "Echoes", "A Saucerful of Secrets", and "One of These Days" were filmed from 4 to 7 October 1971.
Like the use of a ancient gong in the Preamble to Echoes.
It would have been one of the instruments in Pompeii when it was buried. And one those people would have heard.
The spirits were at rest in the Coliseum when Floyd was there.
✌️
🤠🏞️🐂
Hey Brandon... new subscriber here; found you thru this video. Well done! One of my absolute favorite songs, full stop. Glad you appreciate PF's artistry too. You mention other tracks from Live at Pompeii... I highly recommend the version of "Saucerful of Secrets" from the film, amazing keyboard/organ work by Mr. Wright. Lastly, perhaps consider my all-time favorite PF song for one of your upcoming reaction videos: Atom Heart Mother Suite (1970). Looking forward to more of your reactions, particularly to PF. Happy listening!
Hey Chris, welcome and thank you so much for subbing! Thanks for the suggestions. I know I'll do Atom at some point. That's the one where they used an orchestra right? Orchestras are a huge love of mine, especially when mixed with rock and other genres. Hope you enjoy the journey!
The part that you want is the 'theater' version of Pink Floyd in Pompeii Echoes Pt 1 - that's the one everybody likes -with a very slow and wide pan in on the group and with only a few cut away shots from the group - it is much superior !
Thanks!
PF at Pompeiiiiii.... This music is not from our world... This is universe......
It's not just "Echoes", this whole pseudo-concert to the ghosts of the Vesuvius victims was absolutely brilliant! The Pompeii rendition of "A Saucerful of Secrets" always takes my breath away. It's Pink Floyd going beyond Pink Floyd, so as to say! The full documentary (when DVDs appeared, it was my first one!) also has some precious moments, like takes from the recording of "The Dark Side of the Moon" (including a guitar riff that in the end didn't make its way into "Brain Damage" and you wish it had).
The Pulse concert ...😳 Dark Side of the Moon 👍 I got the album Meddle of my brother for my 11th birthday, 1971..😊 he took me to see them for the first time in 1974 for my birthday again, the Dark Side of the Moon tour Empire theatre Liverpool UK
Amazing memories for sure!
@@retroreactions.... I've been stoned ever since and I don't even need a pot, just put Floyd on.😳....🙄🤣🤣🤣
Exactly!!
@@retroreactions.... have you ever made a spliff, got stoned, then seen the pot you didn't put in still on the table? 😳 I have.. 🙄 I blamed Floyd for that one.. 🤣
Hahaha, PF...mood altering music since 1965! "Spliff" sounds like a song title from Genesis LMAO...
having already done the studio version, you're going to want to check out the live "Comfortably Numb" Pulse version from 1994. It is truly epic!!
Oh yes I did watch that on my own and cried! Perfect in every way. I gotta remember that I can watch the live versions here as a reaction too haha..
@@retroreactions.... wow, missed out on a lot of potential subscribers on that one.
Darn!!! That's tragic haha, but such is life. I'm beyond grateful for the growth I've had here in the first 3 weeks!
Pulse has a long setlist right? So I'm sure I will react to others...
@@retroreactions.... Just because you’ve seen it surely you can still do a reaction. Explain you liked so much you wanted to share, or is there some kind of reactors law. Lol.
There was some footage that somehow got lost or erased. I think that’s why you don’t see Roger so much. But what wasn’t lost was footage of Nick on drums. Which someone works out amazingly, because you don’t see him so much in other videos. You can really see what a beast he was on the drums at this time.
Yes, he's amazing also!
You simply got the wrong version of this movie - there are two versions. You want the paired to essence 'Theatrical' version . The one you watched was terrible - with too many added images, as a CD it comes with two CDS , you would want the second version .
23 years after Pompeii, 3 of these 4 guys (Wright, Mason, and Gilmour) performed every song at the 1994 Pulse Concert. 45 years after Pompeii, in 2016, David Gilmour returned to Pompeii at age 70 to put on one hell of a brilliant show.
All the early Floyd video with Syd involved a lot of animated video walking around antics.
Hi. Nice to see you appreciating the sound track to my youth in the UK, there were some truly amazing bands around in those days, all worth checking out. As has been mentioned earlier this video is part of a movie made for cinematic release by the French film director Adrian Maben who was a fan of the band. It was his idea to film the band in the ancient Roman Amphitheatre in Pompeii, (which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 79 AD), there are other songs available on RUclips from this movie and it was his idea to split the song into two parts which "book end" the movie, whereas in a live performance it would be played straight through without any split. Anyway he managed to get permission to film for 6 days during which the site would be closed to any tourists, however they lost 2 of those days because there was a cut in the electrical power supply meaning he couldn't get all the footage he required. This is the reason for the footage of the band playing in a studio in France which is included in Part 2. Another live performance you might be interested in was from 1970 on a US tour, the band set up their gear in the Fillmore West Auditorium in San Francisco, again with no audience, and which was filmed by a local TV station. David doesn't look entirely at ease because at this time he was just playing Syd Barrett's parts rather than creating his own. I've included a link to "Astronomy Domine" which pre dates "Echoes" but remained a part of their stage show until the end. I love Nicks drumming in this track, as I do in the video you reacted to here. He really was seriously underrated as a drummer, but there you go. ruclips.net/video/5uj8IIzbrv8/видео.html
Thanks for all the info Rich. Love hearing Pompeii concert facts. I also heard they had to run a power cord all the way from the town center or something, and that a few kids snuck in and were allowed to stay! I think I saw a clip from that San Francisco session, I think it was part of a 1994 PF documentary I watched last night.
Love the bit in part two where Richard gets incite and invite the wrong way round and David has to adjust, he just looks at Richard and smiles.
Fabulous isn’t it.
I was lucky enough to see the ‘One Night Only’ Cinema showing of David Gilmour’s return there in 2016 with his Band to put on a amazing Show. This time with a audience. Amazing.
I’d say you need to listen to a few more of Pink Floyd’s Classic Albums before you watch that though.
🎶❤️🎶
Oh so Pompeii 2016 is available to see online? That's exciting!
The last part of this song always reminds me of David and Richard walking down the street and where it comes to a Y as they have a conversation kind of saying see you later until next time and they continue the conversation as they get farther apart until they can't see one another anymore. That's what it always seemed like to me with David and Richard having a goodbye conversation until I see you next time! A brilliant way to end a brilliant piece of music that I really believe is up there with Mozart's Requiem, Beethoven's 9th Symphony and it'll be recognized as such a thousand years from now!!
Can't remember the exact year I think it was 2006 when they played this live for the last time live in Gdansk Poland! They really did it justice there too it's one of the best sounding live recordings I've ever heard of the song!! You should at least watch and listen to it on your own it really is a great version of this song and sadly the last because David said he would never play it again without Richard! One last comment, you should listen to the song "A Boat Lies Waiting", that was written by David as a tribute to Richard Wright not too long after he passed! It's a beautiful almost requiem as a tribute from David to Richard!!
Wow great info and imagery...Oh yes I will doing Gdansk soon on the channel! Thanks.
👍😎 YA You need to
Any time I listen to echoes I’m reminded of how much Andrew Lloyd Weber owes to Pink Floyd for coming up with the theme to phantom of the opera
Totally!!
and they went back to , for give their last concert in Pompey they closed the circle like they did start it so long ago ... 😂
Thought you might like that!
This was a full length movie that featured other songs from the album 'Meddle' as well as brief interviews with the band and some in studio segments of them laying down tracks for some upcoming album they were working on that was soon to be released called "Dark Side of the Moon". For many of us boomers this movie was the way most of us were exposed to live Pink Floyd since they never appeared on American television throughout the seventies while at the height of their popularity. The movie was shown at midnight in movie houses all across America every weekend for years and years. When VHS became mainstream in the '80s I believe this was the first film I ever purchased. And then of course the compact disc when disc players came out, and then eventually the digital version. It's been a long history indeed with this band.
Oh Dark Side of the Moon...I think a few people have heard about that album LOL......I've been attending live shows since 1990 and love watching concert films. I would have loved to watch this in a cinema! Well as I say, better late for me than never!
@@retroreactions.... check out react to 'Time' studio version from Dark Side of the Moon. Brilliant.
Yes, that's coming soon I'm sure, do you vote for studio or Pulse version first?
Oh so you think studio version first right?
@@retroreactions.... yes always the studio version first. So you can get the full original production and sonic experience. Then you can compare it to the live version later and with pink floyd, be pleasantly surprised.
👍😎 Good job, enjoyed that. Can tell you need more Floyd in your life. Trust me, listen to Wish You Were Here (album) start to finish without pausing. Enjoy the ride. Then answer this … Could Depesh Mode do that to your soul? No clue what you have done already, going to look. 🖖 32:31
Nice, glad you liked. I've just been at this 3 weeks and I know I need work on my delivery, but I really try to get lost in the music then give an honest intelligent response. Thanks for watching and commenting!
if i heard this for the first time, i would also say this is art at its pinnacle. but this is only the second beginning, the start into their progrock/classical phase (after their psychedelic phase). my personal floyd-pinnacle comes 6 years later.
Interesting....I bet it's all great but in the end I'm sure I'll have my favorite "eras" too...
👍😎 Dude, I’m a big Pink Floyd fan. This is my favorite song. Enjoy real reactions, gonna give it a shot. Don’t screw it up. 0:09
Playing for all the ghosts Just imagine the people who used to sit in that arena and be entertained two thousand years ago. And how it all ended.
Yes, the whole thing is just chilling and epic in scale....
I really appreciate the music era you play on your channel. Can't go wrong with Pink Floyd! I heard the album "wish you where here" -75, 10 years old. My friends older brother played it over and over...loved it! It would great if you would react to anything by "Led Zeppelin" & also "the Rolling Stones". Some epic music for sure!
Take care ✌️ -subbed of course!
Thanks so much attaC for your support! Is there anything from Led that you recommend that has great keyboard work?
@retroreactions
ruclips.net/video/kW3xDZrlBQs/видео.html
John Paul Jones is nothing but a musical genius.
✌️
Edit: ruclips.net/video/ZCPdXdTX8BA/видео.html
I think my first Led is coming later today!
I rember going to see this at a midnight showing in the Aberdeen Capitol. There were a surprising
number of people turned out. You can imagine the stink of hashish in the air. it was pretty much all hash back then
EPIC!
You have to check out Dave Gilmour live at Gdansk version. Best version by far
I reacted to it already! Amazing and very touching as you'll see...
I think you may have been listening to this song at 25% slower than regular speed because I noticed it's running a bit slower. I've heard this song hundreds of times.
Strange...don't know what the uploader did.....
I’ve watched a lot of Pink Floyd reactions before. Being a big Floyd fan I see a lot people reacting inappropriately to the point of embarrassment. Also their comments tend to be over the top like
they’re experiencing accidental nipple expose from Taylor Swift in the nose bleed section at one of her concerts.
I’m not sure what your name is but I must congratulate you on your precise examinations on both the audio and visual summarising of live Echoes. Your comparisons to the studio and the Pompeii versions were simple and well researched. I could tell that you’re an actual fan. I didn’t feel embarrassed watching you watch the clip unlike the other reaction folk making me squirm in my seat and reach for the off button. Your calm demeanour makes the experience all that better allowing viewers to enjoy the video without the host dominating with unnecessary comments and fake tears.
Well done mate! I’ll watch you again.
Wow, thanks so much Paul. That kind of compliment means the world to me, because I'm very new at this and I know I need more polishing, but I'm trying hard to give great, intelligent and watch-worthy reactions. Don't want to sound too monotonous in my delivery, but several people said they've enjoyed my vibe, so that's great. I appreciate the kind words and your support!
@@retroreactions....
Thanks for the return message.
Have you had any requests for the legendary band King Crimson? They have been playing since 1969 up till recently.
Here’s and example of them in more recent times ruclips.net/video/3028oDEKZo4/видео.html
Their catalog is vast and spans genres so if you’re interested I could point you in the right direction. Take care mate. PB.
Hi Paul, the name has popped up and so far only Ladies of the Road and Sailor's Tale on the list. Any other that you think might be up my alley?
Kanye West sampled ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ for his track ‘Power’ without permission from Robert Fripp (King Crimsons leader and guitar professor)
@@retroreactions.... Here’s the present day Crimson in all its glory live ruclips.net/video/3028oDEKZo4/видео.html
I recommend listening to the studio version first of course.
Out of interest it’s worths researching the great Robert Fripp. He’s a guitar virtuoso and all round eccentric fellow.
Pink Floyd, they fly humans to Mars befort nasa
YES! Thanks for watching Rachid!
Doing a great job Mr Retro, just an idea for your devoted fans.
Use the video clip for the big screen and the smaller screen pushed into a corner for yourself.
Always respect the appropriate laws and the music tax police though..... cover yourself first or they might block you. lol
Would be nice, but I have to be careful on RUclips to make this content transformative, which includes me giving commentary before, during and after, and visually making myself the greater percentage of what is seen...Thanks for watching and commenting Kent!
@@retroreactions.... Yeah...... I know the rules are not for your or our benefit.
A backlash from letting lawyers become judges and politicians. lol
May you react to David Guilmour ( and Richaed Wright), Echoes, live Gdansk? Thank you.
I did already! It's up on the channel, hope you enjoy :)
@@retroreactions.... i did watch now. Thank you.
Thers about 5 songs in the middle of the two parts of echoes. Film is like an hour and 20 minutes long.
Questa versione è stupenda ma ti consiglio di guardare Echoes live Gdansk
Ciao! L'ho appena fatto e quel video è ora sul canale :)
Whoever edited the two parts together put the entrance and exit clips on the video, they're not on the concert film.
Story goes that the film from Rogers dedicated camera was corrupted, hence his limited appearances
Dave and Rick's voices blend so perfectly that it's easy to confuse their harmonizing with times that it's just Gilmour double-tracking himself, which was done quite often as well. I have one minor criticism of the LaP version of Echoes, and I suspect it's more of a mixing thing than a performance flaw; Nick's cymbals are so forward and "bright" that I really have to train my ear to listen past them. It might just be a "me" problem, because I've yet to hear anyone else ever mention it. *shrug*
Didn't notice that...but I agree about their voices, like I couldn't tell who was singing which line, I assume David sings the lower part, just because that's usually how it goes but let me know...
@@retroreactions.... Dammit, someone validate my criticism! lol No, that's great, glad it doesn't stab your brain like mine. Regarding harmony, you are right on the money, but they did occasionally switch roles. On the Gdansk performance I believe that was the case, but as perfect proof of the premise, I actually can't say with certainty.
Nice, excited to see that performance...I sent you a nice Depeche recommendation list in case you hadn't seen it!
@@retroreactions.... yep, all over it. Very excited to finally give them a chance.
Woohoo, close your eyes and escape with them!!
this sounds a bit different from the Pompeii version I have a dvd. i wonder if it is a different mix.
No clue here...I picked it mainly because it was parts 1 and 2 combined in 1 video... :)
For more visual insight into their sonic creativity (plus another musical masterpiece), check out another cut from Live in Pompeii 1971, A Saucerful of Secrets: ruclips.net/video/cEfS98F89Ho/видео.html
Be sure to see this full version and not just the "Celestial Voices" cut, which is beautiful but incomplete.
Thanks Jim!
If you want to get a handle on David Gilmore's quest for TONE, you should check out the intro and outro of their song 'SORROW' from the Live concert in 1994: "Pulse". Although the whole song is a BANGER from start to finish with an epic solo, the intro sound will just blow your mind!!! See it here: ruclips.net/video/JdPTec5ADFE/видео.html
I've seen people react to that version (Sorrow)...do you think it's better than the studio version?
@@retroreactions.... OOOOOOOoooooooohhhhh YEAH !!!! Too true! The studio version is great. The live version at Pulse IS JUST HUGE!!!
Great to know. It's on my list!
@@retroreactions.... Well make it FAST DAMN IT!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@retroreactions.... If you're going to react to it, put it up on a big screen at home and turn it up LOUD!
hope you won t stop there !? hope you play more of that live album ! great songs right there ! i see 38 views in 1 hour ? Lo
L that s what i got in 1 year ! LoL Don t stop ! keep on rocking ! I tried to post some Joe Satriani but RUclips didn t allow me to play it ! that s the problem with some bands ! they copyright 100% ! but i ve seen guys play som Satriani on youtube ! i on t know how they did it ! 😵💫
Oh trust me this is all a big welcome shock to me. I worked so hard and poured my heart into my other channel, and it took 10 months to get to around 408 subs there, and this one is gonna hit 408 subs by tomorrow after just over 3 weeks! I'm also not used to getting so many comments, so I'm on cloud 9 meeting and chatting with all you great people. This is what I always wanted from RUclips...Yes, copyright is a tricky thing here...
Hmmmm…do you think PF might usurp Depeche Mode as your fave? 😉
sooner or later they will, i presume 🙃
@@geraldherrmann787 me too
Nooooo never haha! Can't fathom that ever happening. Odds are greater of me hitting 100K subs one day on YT ha! DM has been my life since I was a preteen basically. But PF is carving a space right at the top quickly for me!
@@retroreactions.... I’ve only heard a couple of DM songs. Tell me two I should listen to that you think will give me their true vibe. What I’ve heard I liked. Oh… please, btw. 😁
Hmm a tall order, but I can do that easily... can you tell me the ones you've heard?
This isn't the best edit, someone put both parts seamlessly, its on youtube as well. Waters never performed the song solo after the splitup. Gilmore wont play it without rick wright. He actually died before the Gdansk version was released.
Song got laid to rest with Rick. I think that's very appropriate due to that special end section....
Your video screen is so small you are losing a lot of effect
Thanks for the feedback and for watching.
in case someone doesn't know Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroyed by the eruption of the nearby Vesuve volcano in 79AD, so this explains the gasses coming out of the ground en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eruption_of_Mount_Vesuvius_in_79_AD. Pompeii ( maybe the amphitheatre too ) had to be excavated
