FIRST TIME HEARING 'Pink Floyd - Echoes (Live at Pompeii 1971) | GENUINE REACTION

[@jhobs909]

I love technical guitarists but Gilmour just picks the right notes every time. His solos are always perfect without all the fast playing . However, in this song he shows he can be quite technical on the guitar. He just makes every note count.

[@Logan9Fingers]

Not just the right note, he finds the tone, and oh my the timing!

[@paulwebster3417]

This is an absolute masterpiece. Floyd is not a band they are an experience. Enjoy your floydgasm.

[@qwill8254]

Ahh the floygasms

[@anandasmom]

😊

[@ran_4_short]

And I have enjoyed many!

[@gerrydantone6834]

Pink Floyd requires patience. They take their time in developing their lyrical and musical ideas. It's all worth it.

[@sheilahasson-uz7uk]

Looks like you went down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole you will never be the same

[@sheilahasson-uz7uk]

David Gilmour is the best and always will be

[@danp.2510]

“There’s nothing being said, but you can understand it. It’s still speaking to you”. You just perfectly explained Pink Floyd!

[@norahdenovan8658]

Well for us old dudes who have been Floydians for over 50 yrs, it’s magic to see young people reacting to genius 👍

[@stevevasell429]

Watching a bright young man reacting to an amazing piece of music which i have enjoyed for years ( i am 68 ) and seeing you getting into it and savoring every note, and obviously appreciating it at some deep level, for some reason lifts up my spirit. Thank you man for this!

[@TURTLES_FOR_LIFEEE]

Yes, I'm your age. I love these Youngsters Listening a lot to Pink Floyd and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Both mind expanding Music... 🙂

[@mja4wp]

I agree...it's a pure delight to see these young turks getting turned on

[@robrob7400]

I as well am the same age and enjoy so much seeing the reactions- funny after 50 years this music still feels new

[@olissime01]

Who the heck can play like this nowadays ?

[@devanandalovefoundation47]

​@@olissime01Eminem. Lmao

[@ASTROBOYUFO]

There is music.. and then there is Pink Floyd!

[@qwill8254]

Ain't that An Axiom ❤❤❤❤

[@davidfrancis7594]

Nick Mason (the drummer) just played this song again in Pompeii a couple months ago with his band, now age 79. OMG.

[@dysfunctional4341]

NOOOO I MISSED IT

[@ki1r0ywashere]

Good for him. He got shafted by Pink later.

[@devanandalovefoundation47]

Is there video of this? Gordon Bennett.. out with it man!! :)

[@banjomaker13]

Saw them in Glasgow last year. Best concert I’ve been to.

[@kenford4798]

No-one knows how to take their time like Pink Floyd, they take you on a journey and bring you safely back home with a soft landing. Pure magic!

[@peterbrennan7111]

Pink Floyd has never been so much a song, as a journey.

[@suedobson6962]

Now go listen to echoes live from Gdansk. Mind blowing 40 years later.

[@ignaciopillado6778]

Yeahhh

[@BLew657]

The last 3 minutes of live in Gdansk. Knowing that was the last time they played that song together 😢

[@strangelove1970]

Echoes live at Gdansk IS a MUST. The last time they played that song together.

[@debnbhuy]

So glad to see someone so young ...to me anyway ! (I'm 62 ! ) has fallen down the rabbit hole of Pink Floyd !! Enjoy it young man ! Nothing like this is out there today !

[@markbennett2284]

Pinkfloyd, in my opinion, is the greatest band ever, I have had the absolutely amazing pleasure of seeing them live twice, amazing ❤

[@Nikki-l5p9y]

Same. And just this last October I got to see David Gilmour with my family at the Hollywood Bowl. He was amazing! Well, I should say, they were amazing. The band was tight! The lighting. The sound. The effects. Just amazing!

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Pompeii, Italy, 1971. The guys were in their 20's. I never get tired of this performance. I was so lucky to have been at the right time and place for the best music, imo.

[@humboldtharry1289]

I’m with you, all my life and never tire of it. After all it’s art, no different than a great painting or sculpture. Odd ending they added, still getting used to that to be honest

[@tommyrawlings3046]

Their greatest accomplishment ever was this song at Pompeii..... astonishing!

[@theOriginal-SukieJones]

just imagine .. tripping .. pink floyd was our drug of choice

[@richardhooser5096]

My 19 year old brain was literally blown away back then. It still is to this day. All I can say is thank you Pink Floyd!

[@BobberRider]

I'm 60 years old and I'll suggest that one can appreciate Pink Floyd without weed, but one cannot appreciate weed without Pink Floyd. 😎

[@mar10dg]

Hahaha, that's so true! Gonna put it on a decorative tile and hang it on my wall! 😃

[@ozymandias1030]

Listen to Shine on you crazy diamond next. That song is truly a masterpiece 💎

[@rff2552]

Absolutely

[@Trucker231610]

And be sure it's the Studio Version.

[@davidboivin7996]

In its entirety Parts 1-9 🔥

[@mja4wp]

It sounds like a Masterpiece because it is...this quad...they are cold stone genius killers....

[@justabloke1806]

Sitting on a beach fishing by a campfire while enjoying Mary Jane and Jim Beam in far North Queensland Australia 40 years ago listening to Pink Floyd for the first time. Was one of my fav moments in life.

[@PixelVibe-RGB]

Hello MollyBoyTV, You were wondering how they managed to produce such sounds, here's a clue: While playing around with his keyboards, Rick decided to amplify them through a Leslie rotating speaker. One particular note stood out very clearly. Dave called it "a strange resonance... kind of a feedback thing... Ping! A complete accident. We said 'That's great!' and we used it as the start of the piece."

[@wendellmcqueary8624]

You would not believe the technical and political hurdles they had to jump through, in order to make this production come to life. They had to bring EVERYTHING with them, and not even leave footprints when they were done. But it was SOO WORTH IT.

[@angelagraves865]

Echoes is definitely a masterpiece. Although I love all versions of it I think I like the studio version best. No matter how many times I hear this song I feel the anticipation and suspense. I love how it picks you up and eases you into a wild ride, full of ups and downs and all arounds, and then sets you gently back down at the end. I'm very much enjoying your reactions. 💗🤘🏼

[@martinellis7156]

I agree about preferring the album, but I also really like the Albert Hall performance.

[@fatimamccullough120]

Two or three centuries from now, if humans are not extinct, I believe Pink Floyd’s Echoes will be be considered in the same class as the composers and musicians in the Classical group. I think there will be other artists and musical pieces but Echoes will hold a special place.

[@0gkmedia0]

Great you reacted to that version. But there is one version that is superior to all. It was performed by Gilmour in Gdansk in 2006. It was the last time performed then because Wright died some time after that concert in 2006. And I think most people that experienced that Echoes version understand why Gilmour said that he can't perform Echoes withput Wright. Enjoy the Pink Floyd experience and have fun!

[@angelagraves865]

Yes, Echoes in Gdansk is very beautiful. 💗

[@davidnorth4703]

Agree it is a beautiful version, but Nick's drums on this come through better than Stevie D's at Gdansk. We are lucky to be able to choose 🤩

[@simply_psi]

I would not say Gdansk is vastly superior it is just different, that is what I like about Pink Floyd's music it is complex and clever, but provides enough space to enable vastly different performances to be made without changing the fundamentals of ths songs. Both versions are great, but one thing Gdansk misses is Nick's subtle yet powerful drum work

[@kenford4798]

Yes l agree. It's an even better version if you can imagine such a thing!

[@bdpeters]

Sorry, but nothing tops this original for me.

[@kaypoling66]

Pink Floyd’s slow intros are like foreplay. Then more and more intense until…..eargasm!! 💋

[@cherylthomas2204]

My favorite pink floyd. Never heard a reaction to it

[@ericsandi6619]

Great video bro. Your initiation to Pink Floyd is complete. Your life will never be the same. I listen to them every day and have loved them for decades. Brilliant, brilliant musicians.

[@angelagraves865]

Same. My day doesn't feel right if I don't listen to a little Pink Floyd. 💗

[@matthewbossenger5087]

Is that really what you think?

[@llanitedave]

@@matthewbossenger5087 By the way, which one's Pink?

[@burn0050]

Live at Pompeii was my first experience of Pink Floyd “live”. There is something so haunting about being in Pompeii that adds to the performance. And the music is simply awesome.

[@riff8114]

They Play for the Ghosts and the Gods here.....Perfection

[@donnagonatas3155]

You really need to listen to the entire Dark side of the moon because it's basically one song! Each song just rolls onto the next song. No stopping and starting. This album was on the charts for over 200( not sure the exact number) but it's still selling. Amazing album!❤️

[@bryandamkaer3646]

In 1968 I discovered Pink Floyd at 5 years old and haven't looked back. They have always been my favorite band overall. It warms my soul to see a young man as yourself enjoying the songs of old from another time. Welcome to Pink Floyd. This performance was part of a film / movie created in 1972. Two other albums were also produced while at Pompeii.

[@willpatterson4866]

I watched this when i was tripping over my own shoes. This would have been amazing to listen too live. Beautiful

[@johnsmith-lu6sv]

You have a lot to look forward to young man keep reacting to pink floyd

[@mikes6457]

that first solo Gilmour played was God tier. he was the all time great for tempo and making you FEEL.

[@devvetomoon777]

DOGS and ECHOES are the 2 greatest song of Pink Floyd 10/10

[@RR-pw5nb]

Once in awhile me and my buddies would get ripped and then put the headphones on and listen to ECHOES.....ah the wonderful days of youth......

[@tommyrawlings3046]

This song at Pompeii is probably the greatest Floyd song ever Floyd does not make music, they create Magic!

[@mrwhite292]

First band I saw live, simply awesome

[@derekdamms7380]

CAN YOU JUST TRY AND IMAGINE THE WORK THAT WENT INTO MAKING THAT. ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED NEED AWARDS

[@paniranii]

This song is the masterpiece and I am listening once or twice a week for 46 years since I was 14

[@duncanny5848]

Well done for getting part 1 and 2 together. Most reactors just do part 1. I never tire of hearing/seeing this marvellous initiative in musical mastery. Pink Floyd are one of a kind.

[@keyrat1753]

There are 2 drummers in the Pulse Concert. The older drummer (wearing a long-sleeved white shirt) is Nick Mason. Nick is the drummer in Pompeii. Richard Wright is T he keyboardist in Pompeii. He is the older of the 2 keyboardists at Pulse. David Gilmour is the Pompeii guitarist, and he is the lead guitarist and vocalist at Pulse.

[@neillenet291]

The other guy was a percussionist

[@MartinMcMartin]

Amazing how many epic level musicians came out of the U.K.

[@keyrat1753]

Echoes live at Pompeii was filmed in 1971. 3 of the 4 guys performing in Pompeii went on to perform 23 years later in 1994 at the Pulse Concert at Earls Court, London.

[@Frank-pe9pk]

A buddy of ours has this dvd, along with Pulse. They have a home theater with awesome sound system and large screen. It’s like you are there.

[@belgarionbob]

Pink Floyd live in Pompeii was made as a feature film to be shown in cinemas to reach a winder audience. Anyone could go to their local cinema and for the price of a cinema ticket got to see a Pink Floyd concert. I saw it when it came out at my local Odeon.

[@yvesblues560]

Another recommendation from this Concert could be Careful with that axe Eugene although the hole setlist is a joy

[@james_alan]

A good pink floyd album to react to first is dark side of the moon. Their masterpiece

[@Maxsmell100]

They have many masterpieces tbh

[@valeriunichitean302]

This song is simply one of the monumental achievements of humanity. Not of prog rock, not of music, not of art in general, simply just that: one of the few reasons we've actually managed to justify and honour our usually miserable existence in this universe. ✨ Sending love from Romania! 💚🇬🇧🇷🇴

[@mporter2059]

The entire movie of this is well worth watching

[@Ki11erAce]

Nick Mason was a wonderful drummer. Maybe wasn't as technically accomplished as a Neil Peart, and not the reckless abandon of a John Bonham, but he found the sweet spot in the middle. Really enjoyed reading his book, "Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd".

[@humboldtharry1289]

A performance for the ancient spirits. They got a damn good one

[@neillenet291]

Pink floyd knows how to build anticipation

[@AlbertVargas-ww1pd]

Awesome, a kid like you knows a classic. One of the most beautiful songs ever. Kudos

[@shervinvakili2626]

I like that your reaction is genuine. Got to have soul to get the soul.

[@banjomaker13]

I saw Nick Mason and the saucer full of secrets last year and Nick was still banging away on the drums at eighty years old. The full two hr gig. Great stuff.

[@TCFire-i4c]

To think, I was 11 when these geniuses were doing this! It makes me feel so small, like they say you feel when you see the Grand Canyon. Makes you wonder what Beethoven or Mozart would say? Or the ancient people who filled that theater? Just the idea is genius, and I can't believe all the massive equipment!!! Timeless, who can touch it even after all these decades? What minds, how much work and sweat to achieve perfection in all they have done!!! They take us outside the elementary things, into the universe and inside ourselves. It was great watching your reaction and thanks for doing this! 5/29/24

[@flubblert]

This used to play at midnight shows in the United States throughout the 1970s. It's how a lot of us got to see what they looked like for the first time. I think you're ready for "Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-5" next. studio version. Another masterpiece. You're definitely starting to get it now. This goes Way beyond traditional pop music. Pink Floyd are in a class and genre all their own. 👍

[@angelagraves865]

Followed by Shine On You Crazy Diamond pts 6-9

[@flubblert]

Avoid the video version please, for the full Sonic experience 🙏

[@brettv5967]

Midnight movies were so fantastic. We usually got this concert or Song Remains the Same or Heavy Metal or The Wall.

[@flubblert]

@@brettv5967 yep, or "Rocky Horror Picture Show". "A Clockwork Orange" ran for a long time as well.

[@roddiener1235]

You know why it 'sounds' like a Masterpiece? BECAUSE IT IS!!!!

[@777edmatt]

Do yourself a Big favor and also watch the live version in Danske Poland! It is the last time this song was ever played with keyboardist Richard Wright who passed away from cancer not too long after! Excellent version also!

[@Trucker231610]

What do you mean back in the day😂😂😂 Today TOO!!

[@johncassles7481]

This is one of my favorite as well. True masterpieces like this can only be born from the love of the craft.

[@scozz6139]

Another great reaction ma!, Actually this Pompeii Concert was in 1972, the song is on their 1971 album "Meddle". I think "Echoes" takes up all of side 2 of the album. Ok the band members here in 1972 are the 4 guys who really made Pink Floyd into one of the Greatest Rock Bands in history! These 4 guys made up Pink Floyd from 1968 to 1985,... Dave Gilmour, joined the band in 1968, (guitar, vocals),... Roger Waters, co- founder of Floyd in 1964, (bass),... Rick Wright, co-founder, 1964, (keyboards, vocals),... and Nick Mason, co-founder, 1964, (drums). Roger Waters, one of the driving forces of PF, quit the band in 1985, the remaining 3 Pink Floyd members continued on as Pink Floyd until Rick Wrights death in 2008. So from 1985 till 2008 there were only 3 members of the band. The other singers and musicians you see onstage like at the 1994 Pulse Concert, (part of "The Division Bell" World Tour), are Pink Floyds touring band for that tour. It was a massive tour, 112 performances in 68 cities, in 17 countries! It was the largest tour of its kind, at the time. "Echoes" was a special song for Gilmour and Wright as they always shared the harmonized vocals, but sometimes they would switch off who was singing the higher part and the lower part of the harmonization. In 2006 they performed both parts of "Echoes" at a concert in Gdansk Poland, I believe it was their last performance of the song, as Rick Wright died two years later from cancer. Gilmour had said at the time that, without Rick, 'He would never play the song again',... Here's a link to that Gdansk "Echoes" performance, in 2006 Gilmour was 60 years old and Wright 62. Nick Mason didn't make the tour, so they had a stand in drummer they had used in the past. So there is only Gilmour and Wright from Pink Floyd. Check it out it's an historic version of this Masterpiece! .... kzbin.info/www/bejne/e37RlnafbquSi7M

[@Nikki-l5p9y]

Yes. The had that idk the word, symmetry, synchronicity, telepathy, intuition with one another. A knowing of where the other was going to go. I don’t know if anyone knows what a deep loss that was for Dave. Recommend listening to A Boat Lies Waiting, that he wrote for Rick. It’s achingly beautiful. The live version with Crosby and Nash is just amazing.

[@shemanic1]

I watched this aged 23 in a cinema in London large screen, not long after it's release, a memorable occasion. All power to you for exploring this epic music.

[@parthahowlader747]

Last 3 minute of this song is the greatest thing that happened for the mankind! Magical band.

[@txhesser]

Sorry but there is nothing, absolutely nothing cooler than David, shirtless, 1974 in this arena, playing this song.

Ain't no sorries about it. You damn right! 💜🤘

[@ritagryphon222]

Nice reaction! I love PF - great great musicians. and I love to see someone discover their universe. You tried some Pulse pieces but I think Another brick in the wall and Money could be something for you.

[@venusmc2824]

Love your reaction to this Masterpiece🎸🔥!!!

[@tristanblackmore9772]

Check out One of These Days, also from the Pompeii video. Mason is tearing the drums up, loses a drumstick, grabs another and never musses a beat.

[@Nikki-l5p9y]

Yes. Came to say the same thing. I always love hearing it because during the concerts it’s when the pigs came out!

[@detroitlady7201]

Im patiently waiting to watch you react to "Shine on You Crazy Diamond " written for their former bandmate Syd Barrett. Truly another masterpiece and one that all us old Floydians love watching you youngsters react to! Guitar god David Gilmour will leave you with mouth wide open as he always does! I think you're ready for it now that you have seen the insane talent these guys had!

[@alphaandomegaministry2718]

You showed a lot of respect for these four musicians. It is a MASTERPIECE - one of the greatest works of this millennia and the last millennia. On par with Bach Toccata and fugue in d minor - another piece of music that will send you off this planet it's so good! Both very different granted.

[@mikejacobson14]

This is one of my favorites. And you're right. It is a masterpiece. Pink Floyd has many. One of the three greatest bands ever.

[@mikewatts867]

You should also watch David Gilmour doing this live at Gdansk, with Richard Wright. They are the only two of the four at the performance, but the most important two from this particular track. And it features members of Pink Floyd's touring band in later years so it can be rightfully called Pink Floyd. There are three versions of this song that are equally epic for slightly different reasons. The studio version, this one, and David Gilmour live shortly before Richard Wright's passing. I actually like the latter the most because David and Richard had such perfect interplay between them in those last few minutes. David always called this song a "conversation between him and Richard" (yes with Roger's lyrics of course, and Nick's drumming is stunning in these early versions). But after that Gdansk performance, and Richard's passing, he retired this from ever performing it again.

[@joycekunzelman7435]

Glad you listened to the full live song from Pompeii. The studio version on the Meddle album is also very good.

[@yvesblues560]

Thats where its at, doesnt get better☀️

[@derbyphoter]

Out of all the Floyd music this is and has been my favourite since I was around 13 when I first heard it I'm 68 in April 25.

[@guitarman8462]

The " ANIMALS " album will blow your mind .

[@scotttrainer9704]

Pink Floyd was like nothing before or since. A total mind trip of a wonderful journey. While I don't condone the use of drugs I'll just say during the 70's LSD was popular and totally changed the journey they took you on. ✌

[@Sindamsc]

Much appreciation for reacting to a full version. The ending conversation between guitar and keys is awesome, I'm glsd you appreciated it too. I still love studio version more, but it's a very complicated song, and seeing it's played with just 4 musicians is something special. I'm 31 now, and I've heard it for the first time sround your age (I guess). Since that, I'm used to listen to it almost everyday, it's my morning routine song, so I've listened to it for several thousands of times and I can't stop 😂

[@Nikki-l5p9y]

Nor should you!

[@davidboivin7996]

Pink Floyd soundscape masterpiece 🔥

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction my boy!! This has LONG been my #1 Pink Floyd song, and one of my top versions as well - that raw sound & acoustics in the Pompeii amphitheatre is/was incredible! (Other favourite version is David Gilmour Live In Gdansk - it was the last performance of the song before Rick Wright's passing (keyboardist of this epic masterpiece), and thus it was the last time Dave has performed it since!) Masterpiece doesn't do this song justice, but it's the word we have! HIGHLY suggest Dogs, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all parts), Welcome To The Machine, and pretty much ALL of Dark Side Of The Moon. Can't go wrong with Floyd!! Cheers!

Hallo lad. Welcome to the music we grew up with. They were innovative, talented not to mention the lyrics. You have so many bands to listen to. As i said, welcome and enjoy. Dave south africa.

[@JohnSmall314]

"Masterpiece" The term was used for apprentices in olden days. When they reached the end of their apprenticeships in say carpentry, goldsmith, or some other trade, they had to produce a masterpiece to show they had become masters of their craft. Roger Walters described Echoes as their masterpiece, the point when they transitioned form being apprentices to being masters of their craft, He said once they'd done Echoes it was like "right lads, we're no longer apprentices, get your aprons on, we're going to do Dark Side of the Moon now" As for how much money was put into the performance. Probably not much, they already had the kit for live shows (hence the words on the kit "Pink Floyd, London") they got an invite from a film director who was impressed by their music. "Come and play this music to the ghosts in Pompeii, they haven't had a show for 2000 years", so they set up their kit, the cameras started rolling and they played. The also did other PF tracks, at the same place and time, "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", "Saucerful of Secrets", for example.

[@michaeldransfield8775]

I know I'm a bit late to the dance... There's a version out there where it's the last time David Gilmour and Rick Wright, the keyboardist, played together before Rick's passing. It was from a concert in Gdansk. Highly recommend.
