Pink Floyd -"Echoes" Pompeii

Pink Floyd performing at the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii , Italy
he main footage in and around the amphitheatre was filmed over four days in October 1971, using the band's regular touring equipment, including studio-quality 24-track tape recorders. Additional footage filmed in a Paris television studio the following December was added for the original 1972 release. The film was then re-released in 1974
he film has subsequently been released on video numerous times, and in 2003 a "Director's Cut" DVD appeared which combines the original footage from 1971 with more contemporary shots of space and the area around Pompeii

• LYRICS • Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no-one called us to the land And no-one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no-one calls us to move on And no-one forces down our eyes No-one speaks and no-one tries No-one flies around the sun Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes Inciting and inviting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no-one sings me lullabies And no-one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky

The song is weak and mediocre. No development, monotony. It’s not difficult to come up with this kind of music; you don’t need any talent or skill, you only need basic knowledge of music theory.

Went to Naples and Pompei with the wife. Visited the amphitheater. The wife said, "Wow, over thousand years ago Romans filled this place". I said, 'Ya, but Pink Floyd played here!"

[@liberalcannibal2346]

The day I visited it was feckin closed :( For no other reason than bloody David Gilmour, who was performing there that night (See Live at Pompeii 2017). I had absolutely no idea he was performing and we couldn’t get tickets for love nor money. Whenever I watch this video, I think of me stood outside, arms crossed and annoyed that I can’t see inside of the amphitheater, like a social conservative in the 60s 😂 Ah well. I have a funny tale to tell and I can watch the performance anytime on Blu-ray 🎸 👍🏽

Lyrics : Overhead the albatross Hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the where's or why's But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb toward the light Strangers passing in the street By chance, two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can? And no one calls us to move on And no one forces down our eyes No one speaks and no one tries No one flies around the sun Cloudless everyday You fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no one sings me lullabies And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky

I don’t care what anyone says this was Pink Floyd’s best song. This is truly the only song in which all four members are completely in sync.

Remarkable words "we could do this without Syd". Syd Barrett was the "genius" of Pink Floyd. PF with Syd and PF without - two different bands. "Meddle" (Pompeii concert based mostly on this LP) perhaps was the border between "Syd" and "non Syd" Pink Floyd. It was both psychedelic (like Syd's music) and modern bluesy (like Waters-Gilmour).
