AMAZING! Pink Floyd - Echoes (Live in Pompeii 1972) | Reaction

Who else could perform for all of the lost souls of Pompeii.

Fucking awesome

It was their anti Woodstock statement.

Agreed! Only The Floyd!

I've heard the concept is that it's their answer to Woodstock

[@neoaeonmusick]

Well there's pink fraud The Division Bell in a momentary lapse of reason then neither new song for Ukraine I find Rodger Waters albums just as good if not better than Pink Floyd but they are more than the sum of their parts

YES THEY ARE

[@the13thhourmusicexperience14]

No argument here

Exactly 💯 Pink Floyd is Only One

[@jaquestraw1]

Have heard this a thousand times. I have goosebumps again 💜

[@lubos1207]

This is real art! I love how all four of them shared their work. Gilmour in the guitar solo, Wright in the beginning with the mysterious keys, Waters on bass in the "funky" passage, and Mason perfectly rhythming this entire song. I love that guy! And the atmosphere of the empty ancient Roman amphitheatre is fascinating. I could watch this every day over and over again...

One more thing to think about - this was 1972 !!

[@kennethmardis2132]

Was 19

[@grantdumas4076]

Be sure to check out the other half of the song. The album version is over 23 minutes but for this concert/video, they opened with the first part of Echoes and finished with the second part.

[@jonkwape3097]

The second part is just magical.

[@mst5g826]

IMHO, Pink's best album all the way through.

[@RabbiSteve]

Totally. Important to listen to the entire piece. All the pieces of the entire “suite” compliment each other so much. “Echoes” is my favorite Pink Floyd piece. And the album on which it first appeared, Meddle, my favorite album.

[@RabbiSteve]

@@mst5g826 totally agree. Meddle is my favorite of theirs. And that’s saying something, because I have been a fan of theirs since 1972. Saw the Radio City Hall midnight show debut of Dark Side of the Moon. And they performed “Echoes” at that show also. Along with some of my other favorites: “Set The Control For The Heart Of The Sun”, “Careful With That Axe, Eugene”, “Obscured By Clouds”, “A Saucerful of Secrets” (I think that tour might have been the last time they played that last one live). First set ended. They left the stage for a break. And came back and did the entire Dark Side of the Moon album. And their encore was “One of These Days”. Still one of my top 5 favorite concerts of all time!

[@Mark-om3cl]

Richard wrights piano playing was damn awsome. Himself and David had such a great thing when playing there instruments, they just bounced back and forward with cool riffing parts.

[@tpatt525_Tiff_]

When I was a teenager (in the 90s) my grandaddy gave me a record player. I went to a used record shop and bought the Meddle album bc I love Pink Floyd (a gift from my parents). This song was on the B side of the record and I would listen to it on repeat at night while I slept. ♥️♥️♥️

Saw them in 77 in Chicago at Soldier Field. Great concert, may be the best outdoor concert I ever been too.

[@flubblert]

'The World Series of Rock' concerts at Soldier Field 1977. One night devoted exclusively to Pink Floyd Animals. Missed that one, but promised myself it would not happen again given the opportunity. Saw them in Chicago in '88, and back at Soldier Field 1994 (Pulse). Lucky enough to realize these were not just concerts, but history being made.

[@216Numbskull]

@@flubblert The 1977 Pink Floyd tour was in support for the "Animals" LP, no doubt. But, it wasn't 'exclusively devoted' only to the "Animals" LP that night, NO sir? I also went to the Pink Floyd-World Series of Rock concert in Cleveland @Cleveland Municipal Stadium in a record setting crowd attendance of over 83,000 fans. Now, Floyd did come out & play the entire "Animals" LP front to back with props of a giant pig balloon that came over the crowd & other ballooned animals on stage. However, after Floyd played "Animals," they followed that up playing the "Wish You Were Here" LP in it's entirety too! Along with a couple encore tunes from "DSOTM." Even though most of us know it as the Pink Floyd "Animals" tour, or "Pink Floyd-World Series of Rock" tour. It was actually called the "In The Flesh" tour, due to the "Animals" LP not selling as well as they expected. Either way it was definitely 1 of the greatest concerts I've ever seen, & it truly was history in the making at the Cleveland show for various reasons. Not to mention getting to see & hear Pink Floyd play 2 entire LP's at a outdoor stadium concert for $10.50 a ticket, pretty f%$kin cool! ++Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul++

My uncle knew me & seen my love for music & my love for playing guitar. Plus, the fact it was the 70's & me an intercity kid with street smarts, it was all good. They still did their thing getting high, drinking, & tripping, but I also had 80 some thousand other people watching out for me too! That's just the way it was back then, especially a concert like Pink Floyd. Good people, good times, & good music! I was all about the music then, even though I still got a contact buzz, there was no escaping that, even being in an outdoor stadium, ya dig? ; ) Blah,haha!! PEACE 2 U my friend.

A very famous writer "borrowed" some of this music for a very well known musical and it cost him a pretty penny in court. When you listen to most of the other Pink Floyd you can hear references to this music. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I can't think of another band that would go to such a place to record music along with the accompanying echoes without an audience and to use what they learned and produced in all of their music that followed.

[@78twood]

My man! So I hadn’t heard of Pink Floyd before Dark Side of the Moon. Echoes is off the album before Dark Side. Absolutely my favorite jam by Pink Floyd and all the band members played flawlessly together!! David’s guitar playing in the second half is INSANE! I saw Dark Side of the Moon in 1973, Tampa Stadium.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Playing in an ancient empty amphitheatre for the ghosts of Pompeii, Italy where a volcano destroyed the city in 79 AD. After Rick Wright (keyboards/vocals) passed away in 2008, David Gilmour (lead guitarist/vocals) would no longer perform Echoes. There is a part 2 of this song btw. Pink Floyd just released a new song: "Hey Hey Rise Up" in solidarity with Ukraine. David's daughter in law and grandchildren are Ukrainian. Pink Floyd is nothing short of brilliant.

[@turokforever007]

They did have one fan watching. He ended up working for the tourist board. And helped David out when he went back again

[@Kommencentz]

They should do a song about Ukraine's Azov Battalion's war crimes in the Donbass region that is on the Russian border dating back to 2015 up until the present and their ties to neo-nazie's. 😲 How far the mighty have fallen and the antiwar people of the past have drank the kool-aid of the war profiteers. 🙄
