Pink Floyd - Echoes Pompeii pt1 (REACTION)

And people never give Nick Mason the recognition he deserves on drums, he can be a beast

[@RobXHEphotosPs37.29]

Nick Mason's drumming is outstanding!

[@neilj6322]

“David Gilmour is such a good guitarist” ahem, Gilmour is the greatest of all time. Nobody and I mean NOBODY can tell a story like he does on the guitar

[@vashna3799]

Agreed, my favourite guitarist

[@jakubtrnan9666]

I agree, but spell his name right next time...

[@KamalaToe]

God bless Leo Fender for inventing the Stratocaster so Mr. Gilmour could master it....

I wanted a guitar for a x-mas when i was kid. I'm 100% sure, guitars want David Gilmour for a x-mas

Get the spelling right bro. The MAN is the greatest guitarist music has ever known...!

I was 23 years old 48 years ago when this came out.... Still one of the great riffs

The Beatles: hey wouldn’t be cool to give a concert on a roof? Pink Floyd: let play in an old coliseum, on thousand of ancient Roman souls.

[@johnmccullough6540]

My favorite live performance of theirs. Hoping for part 2 and/or “Careful With that Axe Eugene” from the same show! 🔥🔥✌️

[@xyzdgthereal]

And/or Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun :)

Careful with that axe and one of these days are my favorite from live at Pompeii

As someone commented before, playing in an empty stadium for a future audience.

I always thought of it as playing to an ancient audience that are there in spirit only.

Gilmore screaming to the ghost of Pompeii with his guitar, Epic!!!

[@mhlevy]

Years later, David Gilmour recorded another concert at Pompeii. After Pink Floyd's final break up, RIchard Wright continued to perform and tour with David's solo band. You'll notice (especially in part II) a direct interplay, sort of a conversation, between guitar and keyboards. But after Richard passed away, David vowed to never perform Echos again, since that "conversation" was so personal, so the last recorded performance was at the "Live at Gdansk" concert video. So in the later DG concert, live at Pompeii, Echos was noticeably missing.

[@sting64az]

I have that DVD David Gilmour "Live" at Pompeii....I read that they used the beginning note to "Echoes" in the beginning part of the show?...

[@patrickrasmussen2666]

You guys got me watching the entire concert at Pompeii and I'm ok with that :)

[@paulr935]

Can't believe y'all didn't comment on sexy shirtless Dave Gilmour

[@gcasse71]

Paul R 🤩

[@southbayspike]

They recorded a whole concert here, not just echoes. It is fucking fantastic start to finish. They split echoes into two parts, so you may want to find part two to react to. Roger did get his jab at Andrew Lloyd Webber, though. Listen to his song It’s A Miracle from his album Amused To Death, and you will see what I mean.

[@darthqui-gon5986]

My favorite version of Echoes. And maybe my favorite Pink Floyd song of all time.

[@bt9762]

One of the greatest bits of music created

[@ginawhoever9734]

the way this song goes from so smooth and almost relaxed to an almost haunted sound... just even Gilmour's guitar goes from so clean to so screaming.... feels like as they are playing the literal atmosphere/history of *that space* and what happened there like takes them over... and takes over the music. i mean, how *could* you be as in tune to everything as Pink Floyd were and *not* have the haunting history of that place influence you as you express the music as purely as they did?

[@amandatibbs5541]

*gasps*! Haven't even played the reaction yet....dinner with the hubby 1st. I can not wait to plug in my headphones and see this! Epic? I think so....they have so many beautiful songs, my favorite band of all time. Now I have to hurry and have dinner so I can boogie with yall ♡♡♡♡♡

Dude so stoked you guys did this song and especially this version!

A four-piece playing live in a ruined Roman amphitheatre in 1971. And making THAT sound! 50 years later, I still can't process it. Long after we are gone, unlike Mozart, this will still be a source of mystery not mimicry.

'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun', Live at Pompeii is ultra atmospheric.

Just one thing Phantom Of The Opera is from 1986 and Echoes is from 1971, so guess who copied who

[@TheCornishCockney]

that wicked bassline from Waters,out through my massive Mission floorstanders,it pounded me in the chest,love it.

[@stuartcousins9269]

Another song from "live at Pompeii" that you might like to try is "Set the controls for the heart of the sun".

[@XL1Fe]

OH MY GOD.Never saw that coming.This was the song i started to fall in love with pink floyd back in high school.Also the song i listened first time i got high on weed lol.It was the best trip ever...

[@sydIRISH]

Greatest. Band. EVER.

[@jakehunt3392]

David Gilmour pokes fun at Andrew Lloyd Webber in an interview & said “Let’s call it sub conscious plagerism “ than was asked if PF got paid for it & Gilmoir replied “You’ll have to ask my lawyer” 😂 Oh btw...”No one flies around sun “

[@RyanAcidhedzMurphy]

Today, with all these "experts" helping people sue big names for millions over tiny snippets that kinda, sorta sound similar... they'd have had no problem suing him. Back then, suing someone for using a run up and down the chromatic scale in a similar way might not have been winnable. The only one who knows for sure if he'd ever heard Echos, is Webber. Yes, it sounds very similar. Yes, Webber has been known to lift bits from other piece of music, but only classical pieces that are no longer under copyright. Bottom line, is that it's just running up and down the notes of the chromatic scale, and the way it's played is actually pretty different.

[@stevenmurano7863]

When i was in high school there was a theater that would run midnight shows...rock n roll related movies. went and saw this movie. mind BLOWN

[@rhwinner]

This is really the only decent live footage from this period of their careers, just before DSOTM hits....really gives you a sense of how great they were before that landmark album. Part II of this song was hindered by technical difficulties and much of the footage was taken from a studio performance and superimposed over the original audio.

[@russellellis6136]

Sista! You are hilarious! What a great song and hypnotic!

[@kevroy5685]

DUDE!! You gotta listen to Pink Floyd One Of These Days live from Pompeii. Great for all Drummer fans. Nick Mason kicks the songs ass!!

[@realKytra]

Best Reactions channel! Love Pink Floyd and I think Sistah would love High Hopes :D

[@henriheiskanen8919]

Absolutely. From live recordings i would recommend the live at Gdansk version (includes Dave's best slide guitar solo IMO following by an soulful acoustic guitar outro) which has such a nice sound quality

[@bighupp3081]

when they were done recording they left the equipment there. when david gilmore went back in 2016 he had the same equipment repaired and used it,

[@ThePablo1961]

One of the few 'I wish i would have been there' moments, in that ancient amphitheater when this was being recorded. Before they exploded with DSOTM . Pure Floyd.

[@EireForTheIrish]

Go there sit down and listen to it on headphones, I was there last year and it was an amazing experience standing where it was recorded. There's a great tribute to Floyd underneath the Amphitheatre too, well worth a visit....

[@palantir135]

Echoes is my most favorite song of Pink Floyd. David Gilmour, in 2016, did a 'live at Pompeii' concert. You have to see that too.

[@amandatibbs5541]

So good!

[@antoniomaraspin]

They were walking across many areas (and just as many phenomenons of volcanism) around Vesuvio, one of still active volcanos in Italy, which stands near Napoli (you called it Naples).

[@henrikeatworld]

You would not believe me if I told you how many times I've watched the Live at Pompeii dvd, I probably have the world record, which is in no way healthy, but I just love it so much. Pink Floyd is an addiction to me.

Wolf, David Gilmour came back to the Coliseum in Pompeii back in 2016 for a full concert stop.

This is the first reaction I’ve ever watched from you guy and I loved it! You guys are awesome and gained a new fan. I’ve also seen a few more reactions and I’m them I seen your reaction to deep purple child in time and I loved it but may I suggest you listen to the live version I honestly believe with all my heart you guys will enjoy it more. Oh and please give us the second part 2 echoes because it’s a beautiful song and it’s a must listen to song well all of there songs in their entirety please

[@lasviasirrah6888]

Gotta be my favourite Floyd recording, maybe because I have recently come across it. But damn this song makes you float away.

[@amaliagrassi6870]

It makes me laugh. I have only watched a few of your videos, mostly the Pink Floyd ones but each time I watch I feel like i'm sitting in a lounge with you two opposite just chilling to the music. It amuses me. Makes it fun. Good company! I enlarge the screen on my iMac and it really is like you're right in front! Great reaction to an outstanding performance.

Some say we had the best music in the 70's. They are correct. But, this kind of music lives forever and is still revered and enjoyed by all ages. I am glad to see reaction videos for this reason. It gives rebirth to songs so that new generations can hear and enjoy them and continue to pass them down throughout time. Epic.

[@killmelemmy2170]

One of the best « songs » ever written and played. My favorite from the Floyd. This bass, organ and guitar will always kill me.

[@grandymommy4531]

You gotta do part 2 now. Also there is a vid out there of the last time David Gilmour and Richard Wright performed echoes together before Richard passed. It is really good but sad, too. Thanks for doing this.

[@johnmrog]

In agreeing to do the Live At Pompeii movie, Pink Floyd made the director/producer contractually agree that they would NOT overdub the live music scenes with studio music. What you see of the band's performance exactly conforms to what you hear of the band's performance because it IS the band's performance.

[@floydzeppelin9317]

You have to do Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond pt. 1 or 2" next. Also, the group Rodrigo Y Gabriela did an amazing cover of Echoes for their newly released album that you should check out as well. Interesting to hear this master piece played by a Mexican guitar duo on classical nylon string guitars. Brought tears to my eyes seeing them play it live.

[@adambrensen7090]

These guys were reading classic literature and mythology and then creating the soundtrack to them while inserting their commentary.

Great upload guys, the best version of this song. Side note: people bag on Waters because he's not Jaco or whoever, but I love Roger's bass playing to death.

[@direnova6284]

I feel the same, also I've always been surprised that Nick Mason doesn't get more credit for being a very creative drummer.

[@beatnpotatoes]

[@alexsaucedo8032]

Great song. Love me some PINK FLOYD. rock on 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@dragutinlusicic1257]

something wonderful, I listened to that song so many times when I was in the army on night duty (it kept me going). I always wanted to learn to play that harmony of tones with gentle transitions, and now that I've retired with a rather meager equipment, I think I've improvised those events in the song quite well. When I see that, I feel somewhat exalted, I think of the bass parts.

[@iglolangnesias5976]

I saw this concert in the cinema in 1974. It was insane...

Pink Floyd juuuuuust before they broke through in the States (and worldwide) big time with their ''Dark Side Of The Moon" Album. Before DSOTM they sold VERY little Albums here, and got virtually no radio airplay at all that I recall. They were known, yes, a little bit...very little known stateside when they filmed this, nevertheless this is classic stuff and truly legendary.

[@jotwee63]

A classic. I grew up with that ❤️

[@rstarguitar5350]

This album especially this song is when Pink Floyd became the Pink Floyd of today this was magical for its time and for all time it just goes to show how good these guys are and if you ever had any doubts about Dave Mason this will erase them quick he’s phenomenal here along with the rest of the band what a blending of voices what a beautiful coordinatedwork of Art

In Water’s song It’s a Miracle off Amused to Death he has a great line about “the piano cover falling and breaking Andrew Lloyd Weber’s fucking fingers.”

[@pyschoman9450]

there IS a dvd of this show at Pompeii live look it up !

[@WELLBRAN]

For those that did not grow up with this music and groups it's hard to comprehend ..us oldies just find it amusing that younger people didn't know it existed . Or could be played and written even.

Echoes was actually made by Floyd many years (comp. 71) before Phantom at the Opera (comp.85) !! - so Andrew Lloyd was shopping at Pink Floyd !!

[@richardperreault4976]

It is absolutely necessary to put everything back in its time. It is absolutely necessary to listen to this recording in its absolute context!. . . . What was it?. . . . . We were emerging from a frenzy that the Beatles had generated only ten years ago. What are we talking about? Commercial melodies, without pretension, but which opened the floodgates to the concept of a group. . . Above all, for having personally experienced it, this fashion which relegated Elvis to the background, i. e. THE LONG HAIR! The Beatles, in my opinion, will go down in history as the ones who finished breaking the wall that Elvis had started to blow up. Then comes, during these years, Pink Floyd. . . They are really the ones who blew up the glass ceiling. . . With them, it became. . . Universe is no limit. . . But not only their universe, but of all those who will be able to follow (Genesis, the Who, Metallica etc. )

[@souldreamer9056]

Regarding Cinematography; Each shot is allowed it’s time. There is no rush. We watch Dave for a while, then Rick for a while, then we slowly Pan from left to right, etc. No need for 4 edits per second. I find this so soothing. I’m curious if I’m alone in thinking this, and if anyone thinks we’ll ever see a revival of this style. This applies to nearly all concert movies up to the early 80s. Woodstock, Last Waltz, Queen in Montreal are examples. By the time I was a young teenager in the 90s, the “quick edit” style was already in full motion. To me, that style was the norm. The first concert movie I saw without those fast edits made a strong impression. To me it felt new and refreshing.

[@kevanbodsworth9868]

It was and is a movie to be seen in cinema back then.. PF in studio , and relaxing in the canteen is pretty funny, I wish I could find a cinema showing it today,
