Hits me right in the heart when DG said without his best friend there is no Pink Floyd. That kind of love, friendship, and respect is so rare these days!

[@tommack9395]

What many forget these days, is the original track all their equipment was analog - they literally made up much the sounds they used ... Wright mic'd the piano into a leslie speaker cabinet and "that sound" in the opening and ending was born, the seagulls sounds in the middle section was Gilmour's guitar plugged into a vox wah-wah backwards and rocked back and forth - the squealing noises. However when they play together Wright and Gilmour played off each other's creativity so well both in inspiration and musically - when Richard would play a seventh within a chord .. David would come along with his melodic lead line and bend it to an ninth and resolve it to a root, and vice-versa super-imposing harmonies, they set the color in the music of Pink Floyd. Like no second guessing they were in the same mind-frame. Btw… Richard Wright sang the lead vocals on DSOTM's “Time” and "Wearing the Inside Out" on The Division Bell.

[@raypearce4777]

I'm 71 next week, and like many other people I find Pink Floyds music brings out the emotional side of me. I have a fantastic family, 4 sons, two beautiful grandchildren (and another on the way!)and a loving wife, but Floyd bring back so many memories of my life, from when I was a teenager through to now. The memories of the sixties and seventies are so vivid at times, and watching this performance with dear Rick Wright and David working so well together, bring those memories flooding back. I find it hard to put my feelings into words, but I watched those last few minutes with tears rolling down my cheeks. Life past can make you so happy, but at the same time so sad. Sorry for being a big softy!!

I don't want to criticize anything. The Wall is fantastic in its own right. A monumental work. Each of us has different taste. I think I specifically love Pink Floyd era where Rick's influence can be clearly heard. Animals was the last such album. (Of Waters era of course. He reapeared on the last two albums, particularly on The Division Bell, but I don't consider those Pink Floyd either)

[@tomyrosicky]

Gilmour brought back Wright to Pink Floyd, don't know exactly how he screwed him.

[@brigand73]

I get the impression Rick was just caught in the middle of Roger and David's feuding. Rick's personality made him an easy target for Roger, and David didn't do enough to stop him from getting the boot (I suspect, I don't know for a fact). After it all went down, David felt guilty about it, and knew Rick really wasn't the cause of the acrimony between him and Roger, and I feel like he has honestly tried to make up for what happened to Rick over the years. Even Floyd's last album, The Endless River, feels like David's way of honoring Rick, and dealing with his pain and guilt over what happened. Of course, this is all speculation on my part - I wasn't there. But either way, I am really glad when Rick parted this world, he and David were truly friends. I have quite a few recordings of the early aughts of David touring, and always bringing Rick along. Gdansk, On an Island, there's a few other gigs out there - all with Rick side by side with David. They even did some of Rick's solo songs on David's tour.

[@ubergrendle]

you mean Richard who was the only member NOT to lose money on The Wall tour as he was playing a session player? The Richard who says he'd have fired himself as he was too preoccupied with cocaine at the time, that cost him his marriage, and was the wake up call he needed to sort out his life?

[@brigand73]

Whether Richard made money off the wall is irrelevant. I doubt any of them were hurting for cash - that's not what I mean by David feeling guilty. Yes, Rick wasn't pulling his weight by his own admission. But Roger was coming to believe more and more that he was the sole reason for Pink Floyd's success, and that he was carrying the band alone - Richard's drug problem made him an easy target. David could still challenge Roger on Pink Floyd's success (Comfortably Numb's solo? Another Brick in the Wall??), but Rick hadn't really produced since WYWH. David, rather than defend Rick's past contributions, and help his friend through his personal problems, let Roger force him out, maybe was even a party to it. And I am sure he felt guilty about it later. I would have. And then we got the hot garbage that was The Final Cut, your album of 100% Roger's creative control.

I was completely amazed. Probably the best from the entire show, definitely for me as I always wanted to get Echoes played at my funeral. Being there was for me one of the musical lifetime events. Something you experienced only once. Something you can't record in any way. I knew that was it, like time stood still and there was only me and the music in my ears. I tasted every note like it was played only for me. Religious folks usually say that was their supreme being. For me that was the supreme music.

On the Island Tour, Echoes was suddenly played in full length at the end! When the first "ping" came, I thought only, "was that a ping? No David will not play..." and then came the second ping with the chords and it became certainty: Echoes live! One of the most emotional moments in my life. This still moves me to tears today. Thanks to David, Rick and Mason (and Roger) for the music you gave us. Ich habe seit der "The Division Bell" Tour davon geträumt Echos einmal Live zu erleben. Echoes ist für mich einer der Musikstücke, die Musik geprägt haben. Auf der Island Tour wurde auf einmal zum Schluss Echoes gespielt in voller Länge! Als das erste "Ping" kam, dachte ich nur, "nein David wird doch nicht etwa...." und dann kamm das zweite Ping mit den Akkorden und es wurde Gewissheit: Echoes live! Eine der emotionalsten Momente in meinem Leben. Dies rührt mich bis heute zu Tränen. Danke an David, Rick und Mason, für die Musik, die ihr uns gegeben habt.

That's why Echoes is one of my favorite songs, it really gives Rick his time to shine and shows how insanely talented he actually is. Richard Wright gives Pink Floyd their unique sound, without him, it wouldn't be Pink Floyd. Rest in Peace Rick, you absolute legend.

I like that: "A very real part of me." When I was 13, I hadn't been much into music, but was a sleepless, aggravated and energetic kid with ambitions much greater than my town. So much so, I often found myself in trouble and having addicted parents, raising myself. When the time came to go off to foster home, I had no idea what I was to do with free time and thought now would be the time to get into music. I stole my mothers double cassette, "The Wall" to bring with me in hopes to remind me of "home" and learn music... I've never looked back since. That album, and in particular this band, has gotten me through a very troubling part of my young adult life and is a part of me. It is without a doubt "Avery real part of me." To this day, next to prayer, I look to Pink Floyd to bring my spirit into focus so as to allow me to deal with some of life's most troubling aspects. God bless Pink Floyd.

Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me The sheer beauty of the lyrics and music of ECHOES transformed me.

When I first heard this in 1978 it completely changed the way I understood and appreciated music. It expanded my world in so many ways. And now 43 years later I am still deeply moved every time I listen to it (which is often). It is one of the great gifts to humanity.

Very well said. I am in awe of David Gilmour. Brilliant voice and the very best guitarist. And such a nice human being.

I've been a Floyd fan since 1971 and David Gilmour's reaching guitar still makes my heart soar through the heavens, and brings tears of joy to my eyes.

I'm 58 , started listing too Pink Floyd when I was 12 and still one of my top five bands , I hope to live to be 70 or beyond and listen too this classic group.

[@dennisduncan9695]

Am 71 and still love P.F. especially this. So much touching of the soul.

[@markprior2278]

Gilmours guitar and Wrights keyboards always complemented each other superbly, as did their voices.

I discovered Floyd in my late teens {many years ago}. My son discovered them in his late teens {he is 30}. I listen to these gentlemen nightly, with a snifter of cognac. Last night with my ear phones on,my son asked what was listening to,after I replied he smiled and said "After all these years. they are still on a whole fucking other level". Indeed they are ~

Out of the many, many versions of this masterpiece this one really stands out....

[@KavehNouraee]

Knowing that this is the last time this song has been or will ever be played live is beyond emotional for me. It's a damn masterpiece.

[@williemammoth11]

I continue to love the absolute hell out of this. Rest In Peace, Richard Wright, and thank you.

[@annickmeulebroek7166]

With tears in my eyes i watched and listened to this performance, magic is the word, as if as they knew it was the last performance. Music that stands forever and ever ......

[@julianaugustus1788]

The last 5 minutes are so emotional, melancholy, passionate and epic all in one. RIP Rick Wright!
