I saw the movie of this concert (well, most of it!) when it first appeared in cinemas around 1972/73. My girlfriend at the time was only 15 and under strict instructions not to be home late, so watching the end of the movie would have meant we missed her last bus, but we pushed it as far as we could and left the cinema only about 5 minutes from the end of the movie and ran all the way to the bus stop. Of course, I've seen it in its entirety a number of times since then, and now I always watch it from beginning to end. That girlfriend has been my wife for the last 42 years, so there's no reason for us to rush outside before the end!

[@DarthVader-km6ku]

I saw them live about six months after this was filmed at the Manchester Free Trade Hall. The movie wasn't out yet, but when it came out I took a 30 mile bus ride to go to the movie theatre that was playing the film. I was sitting about 30 feet from them when they played this. I just couldn't believe the sounds Gilmour was getting out of his guitar. He was just so damn good, even at that age (50 years ago in six days time) There's a very good bootleg here on KZbin of the show I was at (March 30th). I was younger than this young man hosting the video here. Imagine what that did to me. It changed my life. It's great to see their music still slaying a new generation of fans. Oddly enough I think my generation knew we were lucky. Our whole lives rotated around music. Little wonder.

[@simonleveille5714]

Water was the brain, Gilmour the heart, Mason the structure and Wright the cement! My take

[@willcool713]

I think this is Pink Floyd at their most self-aware. They knew they were timeless. They saw that realization trigger Syd Barret's complete descent into a madness he'd only had difficulties with previously. That loss triggered greater revelations, I'm sure, But they saw their moment very clearly and this was them singing to an archeological amphitheater that dates to two millennia before. They are performing to the ages, consciously, openly. The sheer gall. Literally heroic music.

D. Mont - Until quite recently I did not even know that such a thing as "reaction videos" even existed. I grew up in an era of slide rules and punch cards. We did however have vinyl, reel-to-reel, and other analog recording/playback media. There, I'm now carbon dated. I have (had... wait for it) every PF release available since their collaborative conception, beginning with their first official release 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn'. In some cases I have 2-3 copies, particularly the early work, including original vinyl artwork on the internal sleeves. I've read many comments to your reaction videos about you discovering, exploring and ultimately appreciating the true artistry that you have found. In particular, the comments from many of us long time 'Animals' of how refreshing it is to witness someone discover this music for the first time. I absolutely agree, but I would like to add; I sometimes go 3-5 years without immersing myself in their gift to humankind. When I do, and after having accumulated just a few more life experiences, the music is altered slightly in my mind to include those "new" memories. Although the music is the same, it can seem like a first time experience. What these gentlemen did will be remembered for centuries.... My (then) 12 year-old-daughter, who is now on a path to begin her medical research residency, would thumb through my boxes of LP's, sometimes asking questions for hours. I got her a super cheap low fidelity portable turn table, and she never looked back. I gave her my entire collection to enjoy and pass on to future generations that I will never know; with the caveat that it never fall into the hands of a future rogue family crackhead that will pawn it for a bag of blow.... With your willingness to explore such diverse tastes, you have discovered an amazing thing that I'm sure will last a lifetime. There is so much more out there to discover. Enjoy the journey.... As a recommendation; if you ever have an opportunity to listen to some of this music with analog playback, it will absolutely blow your hair back. Digitized playback is good and certainly convenient, but the difference in quality is like the difference between night and day.

Dang, first reaction video I've ever watched and this was great, exactly how I felt when I first heard this. Exactly on point about the video too, way ahead of it's time, and right about how they just went out and showcased their talent. I remember when the Beastie Boys did a sort of tribute to this on Check Your Head, with the video for Gratitude, which was what first turned me on to look for the VHS of this concert back in the day.

[@nickshaw6085]

Dude!!! Thanks for sharing this moment! Love how your head bobbing goes harder as the song progresses. ❤❤

[@midlifecrises2350]

Am working my way through your reaction video's & find myself coming back to this one often. In my opinion Pink Floyd is the greatest rock band of all time and Echoes is their masterpiece. Rogers Waters built each song the way an architect would build a cathedral. Outstanding & meaningful lyrics, so many levels and no song is rushed. Each song allows time and space to drop into it's meandering journey with each band member beautifully showcased. Even after David's guitar solo's he always turns the song back to the band so the journey can continue. They built in subtleties such as who sings what verses depending if the song called for David's clear & pure tone, Roger with his unique, hollow and sometimes haunting voice and Richard with his raspier tones. David and Richard in particular, bounced off each other so beautifully. Each song IS a wandering experience and it is an honor to live on this crazy rock... barreling through the emptiness of space as the same time as Pink Floyd was creating their art. It is timeless music.

[@nostrilnick]

[@asstin18]

This live show, is from Pompeii. 2000 years ago where Mt Vesuvius wiped out an entire civilization overnight basically and the volcanic ash preserved the dead bodies and turned them to statues almost. So it's like they're performing to the dead "statues" of pompeii. Also, the amphitheater is the colleseum where gladiators used to have their tournaments and even had a famous riot that happened there. Ads to the mystique and deep mind fuckery of how amazing this performance is. Also worth noting this album performance is on Spotify and its definitely worth listening to while fucked up on edibles or LSD

[@MrTech226]

In 2016, David Gilmour came back to Pompeii at the coliseum for a live concert this time with a live audience with his solo band. Some members of his solo band played as part of Pink Floyd. Since, Richard Wright passed away years ago. I think David is still playing. While I don't know if drummer, Nick Mason joining him or retired. Former member and founder of PF, Roger Waters still doing his solo stuff too.

One thing about this particular recording is that you really can't work out which is the most predominant instrument, as all four seem to be upfront and central to the entire experience. All four are assaulting your mind all at once. They all come together in some kind of perfect harmony of pure groove. Even the groove is indefinable as you can't think of anything that ever sounded quite like it, or indeed anything like it. Even more astounding today, as nothing ever has sounded anything like it since.

SUPER REACTION BRO ! When, I first looked at you, I didn't believed you could be a PINK FLOYD FAN! 😂👍SORRY! I'm a French white man, you're black, and with the kobe Brian's T shirt, MIckael Jordan on the wall, the hat, the gold neckless, I thought I liked rap music! 😂👍I like all styles of music, but, I, finally, was shocked to see how much you understood that music! Like you said, IT'S A TRIP, A TRAVEL! And, the funky part! 😂THAT PART HAS NOTHING TO DO IN THAT PSYCHEDILIC SONG! And, the images of the Roman ruins, and the volcano, are so perfect on that music! And, who's making a live performance, with no audience?!... YOU UNDERSTOOD HOW MUCH THAT BAND IS CRAZY! WE ARE SO MUCH DIFFERENT, BUT WE LIKE THE SAME KIND OF MUSIC! THAT'S WHY I LOVE SO MUCH MUSIC, IT'S REUNITING THE PEOPLES! 😂👍Listen, to the 2nd part, at the and of Pompeii! PEACE FROM FRANCE BRO! 👍😂✌️🎸🇫🇷

With that ENORMOUS stage rig they ran in the old days, listening to them live back in the day was absolutely visceral. It went right through you.

[@adrianfoote8281]

Back before decent pa systems were a thing they just had to use walls of amps. Fun fact, loads of bands throughout 80's and 90's used big walls of fake amps just for looks and only 1 would be real which was used as an on stage monitor.

I've been listen to Floyd for 40 years and it never gets old!! Love you reaction!!

[@krisdoggett483]

Nice reaction, man. You definitely need to hear the studio version of "Echoes ". It's over 20min but well worth the time. In fact, I love the idea of you reacting to the entire albums. Meddle was their fifth studio album and it preceded Dark Side of the Moon. If any band deserves full album reactions it's certainly Pink Floyd (I'd also throw Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull & Yes in there too) and you really seem to enjoy this great music. Peace & love to you.

They were not fans of loud audiences. They were the classical performers of rock. They had nuances that had to be really listened to.

You have got to listen to High Hopes live at Gdansk. That's one of their masterpices also!

[@mearthfromearth806]

haven't seen you in awhile, I hope you are doing well. I watch all the Pink Floyd reactions, but yours are my favorite.

[@78twood]

Lol you’re right!! The GOAT ! Pink Floyd created their own category of music 😎💜🥰

[@robborra8071]

You made the comment about playing in front of the fans live, that was the brilliant works of Floyd, Pompei was leveled by a volcano centuries ago all killed... so technically they are live just no people to watch... how do you not love Floyd's thought process, brilliant I might add..

Ни хрена не понимаю по английски, но не это неважно. С Беларуси.Уж как 70 лет. Пинки это космос. Дети четырех ветров Лежбище времен и народов. Эта музыка делает нас братьями и сестрами.

[@KardashevIII]

It is so nice to see a young person (I have two sons 26 and 28) like music from my teenage years. Floyd is certainly one of the best!

[@paulnamana1573]

Know how you feel shine on you crazy diamond was my first floyd (and first smoke) couldn't believe the sounds I was hearing. This was the day pop died for me at 13 years old.

[@davidboivin7996]

Sitting in a room with a few friends , puff puff pass and Pink Floyd. It was the 70's. 😎

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

This was made in 1971 or '72. They played years later @ Pompeii again, but I like this one best. Looking forward to your continuing Pink Floyd journey.

[@matthewklein7311]
