This song is from the Meddle album, it is before everything you've heard so far - 1971. This is the album and the song that they found their Pink Floyd sound. The 'Dark Side of the Moon' would come out 2 years later, and the rest as they say, is history.
The Arena is a protected historical site so the permits and red tape involved must has been a monumental headache, then they had to hand carry all the equipment and electrical setup into the arena, no vehicles allowed. They wanted to play to the ghosts and lost souls so they made it happen.
No band in the world like Pink Floyd, this is 1971 and these guys are in their mid 20's! I've seen Pink Floyd live in 1980, part of their "The Wall" world tour. It was the most incredible, phenomenal live performance I've ever seen in all my 68 years on this planet! And I've seen most of the great Classic Rock bands of the 1970's, no one is on Floyds level imo, no one! Great reaction man. Here's something for you to check out,... David Gilmour, (PF guitarist and lead singer), live in Gdansk Poland in 2006,... with Pink Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright, playing "Echoes" both parts 1 and 2 consecutively. Incredible live performance! Both Gilmour and Wrigh are in their 50's in 2006. Sadly, two years later co-founding Pink Floyd (in 1964), band member Rick Wright died of cancer in 2008. here's the link to that performance,... ruclips.net/video/EMneCi9F_UQ/видео.html
The younger DAVID when I was in high school the words- music- clicked and my soul was lifted- 50 plus yrs later I’m still moved By this man 👨. Love him and the way his guitar 🎸 (slide) Sings to us/ me.
This was the first musical thing in my youth that taught me to be patient and just let an extended improvisational jam go on and on and enjoy it. It led me to Grateful Dead and Eventually bands like Phish that are renowned for super lengthy grooves and jams.
I first saw this video around 1980. It just appeared on a local channel at 2AM on Sunday morning. The entire clip was played and then the channel signed off. I was blown away. Back then, at least where I lived, it was a mish-mash of programming starting at 1 AM. That slot was usually filled by The Midnight Special or Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Anything after either was pot luck viewing. The recording and editing of this clip is spectacular.
You have done well, Justice. Most young adults would have no idea about Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius. This was 1971, and they played the whole Meddle Album, not just Echoes. The soundtrack was released in 1972 and the movie in 1973. As good as this is live, they continued to get better and add more to their live performces culminating in the 1994 tour now known as PULSE. You mentioned this is your first live experience of Pink Floyd.......anything from Pulse will leave you speachless.....Comfortably Numb is probably the worlds favourite LIVE performance.
Gilmore makes the guitar sing like an albatross. Bass and drums craft the heaving waves. And then there's the magic of Wright on the keyboards. A rock concerto.
Best version is David Gilmore" Live at Gdansk". The last time Dave said he will ever play it do to his friend and co-writer Rick Wright who die shortly after.
Thanks man! That was my suggestion in my last comments! Glad you liked it! 😀It's actually from the album Meddle, which you haven't reacted yet (I think). It's prior to Dark Side, The Wall and Animals, so a little bit darker and rougher on the edge, but it's in this era where they really experimented before "settling" with their more known style that came with Dark Side of the moon. This session was actually filmed in 1972, and Dark Side of the Moon was released in 1973, so they were in the process of recording it at the time. And btw, like others said, it's only the part 1 of Echoes. Cheers from Quebec City!
@@carolricard1903 The acoustic version? Wth are you on about?... Just say you don't like Echoes loll... The original studio version is hands down the best ever, but I suggested Live at Pompeii as a whole with the interviews and Ummagumma tracks as I thought the visual might be interesting to react to. But on second thought, he should probably react to the studio version.
That’s only Part 1, buddy. You need to finish it up with Part 2. Echoes (studio version) is from the album Meddle, which came before DSOTM / WYWH and Animals. Love your reactions!
And they were only about the same age as you when they were doing this! ECHOES from the album Meddle was the great transformation track from really early "experimental 60's" Floyd dominated by Syd to the more commercial David/Roger/Richard/Nick line-up. Dude you can pick ANY Pulse track BUT I would pick "One Of These Days" also a Meddle track. It's mostly instrumental but letting instruments "sing" is where Pink Floyd shine!
You did the right thing by standing and jamming out ,great reaction ! . I listen to this while mountain biking ... It can get pretty hairy...lol ,im 58 trapped in a 18 yr old body and i love it !! 😜🌞🔥🍊🕊️
David's wife Polly wrote a song called Louder Than Words. It is the last song on the last Pink Floyd album. For me it sums up what they did as the most incredible team of musicians. They may bitch and fight but they damn sure can jam.
You just reminded me how much I love Meddle the album this is from!! Before Meddle they did an album (the one that got me into Floyd actually) called Atom Heart Mother(no I don't know why nor why the cows lol) There is a long track on that (from memory its called mothers milk?) and you hear in that the birth of Echoes.... Both tracks I love! Not everyone likes Atom but I really do. I saved up the money I earned after school to buy it blind cos of the cows on the album cover ;-) I NEVER regretted it and still have all Floyd albums on vinal oddly I managed to keep the records in mint condition even after all these years. I still think it sounds better, or maybe different, to cds lol. Have subscribed and thank you for reminding me I love this track. Oh Live at Pompeii was also made into an album and video, might be on cd and disc to now.... not sure if you know but Floyd re-did this I think around 2014? They are absolutely as good then as they were all those years ago. Just such a shame 2 have passed now.
They weren’t even famous when they did this, at least not the US. Dark Side of The Moon came out two years later. But they already found their groove here, obviously
Listen to part 1 and 2 of echos at Pompeii together of this song as the studio version is both together, but the song is off the album meddle witch u should also listen to
This is actually one sing thats over 23 minutes long that has been cut into. 2 parts. The album(studio) version is just 1 song not. 2 parts. Absolute brilliant tune though...meddle is a great album
There’s a Live at Pompeii video that has this plus several other songs from before The Dark Side of the Moon. There’s also some preliminary footage of Dark Side. At least there is on my copy. But I’ve not watched it for a long time now.
The song wasn't over you missed half of it. We had what was called records back in the day. And they had two sides and you had to flip them over. The song actually ends the way it started with a pan out instead of in. You really need to finish the song you missed out on all the spirits that were trapped at Pompeii ascending after the performance centuries. Here's a hint before listening to a song check on how long the song lasts.lol I don't care I've heard the song thousands of times. But you missed out on the experience. Oh well it's your journey. The other thing it wouldn't have happened if you'd listen to Pink Floyd the way it was sort of meant to be there they are called concept albums for a reason picking and choosing songs in the middle of an album is like reading one chapter out of a great novel no context to what you're listening to and you're ruined the plot have a good day and learn
The tongue is to avoid heavy "essing " that is avery loud "s" sound whch many picks pick up with singing ,,Later came electronic de-essing --Only one singer in duo neads to do the " s" sound,
I think someone has a video up with both parts back-to-back. I wish reactors would find that one instead of this one. This one cuts off right before my favorite part.
Yeah I hate that it's split in half in this video. The first experience should be the studio version and the live at Pompeii should be second but I get it everyone wants to see them live. This video cuts off right at a really cool transition (not your video but the original release) I think and it ruins the experience in my opinion.
Why is everyone doing this song live , STUDIO VERSION IS 50% BETTER THAN THIS . Floyd wernt good live untill 1974 Dark Side Of The Moon tour . This is my fav track ever of Pink Floyd ive followed them since 1972 when this album came out Meddle . Cant listen to this version
A bare chested long haired Gilmour is the epitome of a Rock Guitar God: an almost perfect manifestation of the ideal
Agree 1000%
Yum yum.
Oh yes
He definitely was my teenage crush
never heard it all explained from that view point ....., well said ..., i think .
This song is from the Meddle album, it is before everything you've heard so far - 1971. This is the album and the song that they found their Pink Floyd sound. The 'Dark Side of the Moon' would come out 2 years later, and the rest as they say, is history.
I totally agree.
YES.
You're hooked!!
But in the best possible way ever.
Peace and love.
The bass rhythm is a slinking beast and the guitar is a screaming monster
There’s a Part II. A MUST listen!
The Arena is a protected historical site so the permits and red tape involved must has been a monumental headache, then they had to hand carry all the equipment and electrical setup into the arena, no vehicles allowed. They wanted to play to the ghosts and lost souls so they made it happen.
NOoooo. It's NOT OVER......Keep going to Part 2
BTW one of the Riffs from Echoes (it's more clear in part 2) was stolen by Sir Andrew Loyd Webber for the stage show theme The Phantom of the Opera 😉
It's on their album "Meddle."
No band in the world like Pink Floyd, this is 1971 and these guys are in their mid 20's! I've seen Pink Floyd live in 1980, part of their "The Wall" world tour. It was the most incredible, phenomenal live performance I've ever seen in all my 68 years on this planet!

Check out "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" from the same Pompeii film.
You reminded me I love that to!! Wasn't it off Pipers at the Gates of Dawn?

such a particular song in such a particuar place...Pink Floyd always so high in musical sky
listen to part 2 it is just as great

Never seen them live.
But the pulse concert is really a treat.
From one justice to another, this is a banger song and appreciate you reacting to one of my favorites!
Gilmore makes the guitar sing like an albatross. Bass and drums craft the heaving waves. And then there's the magic of Wright on the keyboards. A rock concerto.
The real Pink Floyd🤘
Meddle is the album with this song. Its worth a full listen. Quite out there but still top notch rock and roll
Best version is David Gilmore" Live at Gdansk". The last time Dave said he will ever play it do to his friend and co-writer Rick Wright who die shortly after.
Pink Floyd reactions brought me here! Keep up the good work! 👍🤘
Give a listen to "One of these days" little brother! it will blow your mind!
The best part is it's not over. There's a part 2, which is just as amazing. Go check it out.
Gotta do part 2 of this! 🔥🎸
just remember those guys are in their 20s yep around d your age
yes that's right David Gilmour was 25 and the other 3 around 28. Amazing

Yes, meddle part B , they went from acting psy lads to pure musical , timeless geniuses . This song flipped the switch
Been waiting for you to do this one 🇬🇧

This is the song they said they found their sound. I’m sure you’ve heard the next 15min of that song by now. Lol
Echoes choes choes choes choes
Listen to part 1 and 2 together it’s one side of an album. You will love it.

,, Nobody there ,, just a 1000s of ghosts from distant past
Exactly, I think it’s cool how they performed there
Day 4 of asking for Led Zeppelin II or Heroes by David Bowie or even the full Meddle album or even the Wall.
would you like speakers like those in your living room. that only pt. 1. there is a pt.2 meddle
Catch Dave Gilmore, “live in Pompeii” (2016) for an update on him.
