You can watch them playing "Echoes" Live in the ancient Roman Amphitheatre of Pompeii 1972 There's a Part 1 and a Part 2 No Audience, No Lights, No Pyrotechnics and a Dave Gilmour with No Shirt. Gods playing to the Gods!

[@stereo999]

on the vinyl record Seamus closes the first side and then Echoes is the entire second side

[@lutherfloyd597]

Love this one, wish you were is their best

[@markastyan]

Their debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is very unique and weird and is interesting to listen to

[@pigonthewind7908]

Suggesting Brian Eno “Here Comes the Warm Jets”, “Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy” and “After Science”

[@pigonthewind7908]

These albums come from 70s, alongside Another Green World

[@CoolcatzCorner]

real

[@David-iv6je]

To me, Another Green World is one of the most unique records of the 70s. I think it defined Eno's future and caused him to move away from glam.

[@pigonthewind7908]

@@David-iv6je one of the most unique album ever

[@David-iv6je]

@@pigonthewind7908 Yup. Though I also love 1981's record with David Byrne. And even the 90s record with John Cale, which is much poppier (if that term can even be applied.) Eno is unique.

I REALLY LOVE WATCHING YOUNGER FOLKS LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM FOR THE FIRST TIME!! I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM FOR AT LEAST FIFTY YEARS!! BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT ECHOES FOR A MINUTE!! FOR ME, THE OVERALL PICTURE THAT I GET IN MY MIND FROM THIS SONG IS PREHISTORIC EARTH 🌎. FIRST OF ALL THE INTRODUCTION WITH THE SONIC PING, BUT THEN THE FIRST VERSE PAINTS A PICTURE OF PRIMITIVE EARTH AND LIFE COMING UP FROM THE PRIMORDIAL SEAS!! "OVERHEAD THE ALBATROSS HANGS MOTIONLESS UPON THE AIR, AND DEEP BENEATH THE ROLLING WAVES IN THE LABYRINTHS OF CORAL CAVES! THE ECHO OF A DISTANT TIME COMES WILLOWING ACROSS THE SAND AND EVERYTHING IS GREEN AND SUBMARINE!" THEN THE NEXT PART IS LIFE FIGHTING TOWARDS THE LIGHT COMING FROM THE DARKNESS OF THE PRIMORDIAL SEA! "AND NO ONE SHOWED US TO THE LAND AND NO ONE KNOWS THE WHERES OR WHYS, BUT SOMETHING STIRS AND SOMETHING TRIES, STARTS TO CLIMB TOWARDS THE LIGHT!!" SO THAT SETS THE TONE, IN MY BRAIN, OF THE IMAGERY OF PRIMITIVE EARTH! THEN YOU GET INTO THE MIDDLE PART OF THE SONG AND ALL THE STRANGE SOUNDS THAT SOUND LIKE JUNGLE SOUNDS, AS YOU POINTED OUT ANIMALS!! I KNOW THIS COMMENT IS LONG BUT I MUST TELL A STORY SINCE YOU ARE A YOUNG MAN PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT OLDER THAN I WAS WHEN I WENT TO SEE PINK FLOYD IN 1975!! YES, IT WAS THE SEVENTIES AND NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE WAS A FAIR AMOUNT OF DRUGS AVAILABLE, INCLUDING LSD!! PINK FLOYD HAD JUST-RELEASED DARK SIDE OF THE MOON THE YEAR BEFORE BUT THEY WERE STILL PLAYING A LOT OF STUFF FROM EARLIER ALBUMS!! SO I DID MY ACID AND STARTED TO FEEL THE EFFECTS AND JUST AS I WAS REALLY STARTING TO FEEL THE EFFECTS THEY STARTED GOING INTO ECHOES!! AT THAT TIME, THE ALBUM (DARK SIDE OF THE MOON) WAS RECORDED IN WHAT THEY CALL QUADRAPHONIC SOUND!! THE OUTDOOR STADIUM VENUES WERE SET UP THE SAME WAY WITH TWO BANKS OF SPEAKERS ON THE STAGE AND TWO BANKS OF SPEAKERS BEHIND THE CROWD ON THE FIELD TO GIVE A FOUR SPEAKER EFFECT, PRIMITIVE SURROUND SOUND, SO TO SPEAK!! WITH THIS THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE SOUNDS MOVE AROUND THE ENTIRE FOUR SPEAKERS SORT OF CIRCULAR LIKE AND GIVING THE ILLUSION OF SPINNING!! SO, IN THE MIDDLE OF ECHOES, WHEN THEY DOING ALL THE CRAZY SOUNDS, THEY STARTED SPINNING IT AROUND THE SPEAKERS AND AT THE TIME I WAS PROBABLY PEAKING ON MY LSD TRIP AND THOUGHT THAT THE STADIUM WAS A FLYING SAUCER GETTING READY TO LIFT OFF INTO SPACE!! I KID YOU NOT!! AND JUST WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE MY MIND AND START FREAKING OUT, THEY WENT BACK INTO THE MORE MELLOW PART OF THE SONG THAT I RECOGNIZED!! IT'S ALMOST AS IF THEY HAD PLAYED IT ESPECIALLY FOR MY TRIP!! ONE OF MY GREATEST MEMORIES OF SEEING PINK FLOYD!!

[@possumsattwilight5331]

i really appreciate your takes on some of my favorite albums, it feels honest and sort of a breath of fresh air from other channels. one suggestion i have is Oneohtrix Point Never. Daniel Lopatin basically birthed vaporwave with his work before OPN and has since exploded and has been producing for artists like The Weeknd too. I'd highly suggest R Plus Seven or Replica.

[@Cypmongolien]

replica is a must listen

[@David-iv6je]

Shine on You Crazy Diamond is obviously their masterwork. Tough to listen to the song contiguously, since it bookends the album "Wish You Were Here."

[@SagarSinghUK]

my favourite pink floyd album! would recommend PJ Harvey’s ‘Rid Of Me’ or ‘Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea’ :)))

[@specificocean77]

Atom Heart Mother is a solid listen too especially since you seem to be into more mellow songs. It follows the same format as this one, with a side long epic like Echoes, and one really strange track like Seamus...

[@justinjames2436]

alans psychedelic breakfast?

[@specificocean77]

@@justinjames2436 exactly lmao

[@glennbrock6560]

I think they were trolling us a bit with Shamus, but they were kinda showing their range on this album, From the hard banging One Of These Days, right into their softest and most beautiful song they could make sith Pillow of Winds, to show that side of themselves, then Fearless is kinda an old folk song. San Tropez, some sort of Jazzy calypso, then their dog singing the blues..and of course, then we are on liftoff into another realm with Echoes

[@LaMarcGasoldridge]

You gotta check out Apostrophe by Frank Zappa. You'll have a lot of fun listening this album, even if jazz fusion or Zappa isn't your cup of tea

[@79BlackRose]

Really interesting to see & hear your reaction to this album. Regarding human interactions, that is the subject matter of Animals. It is my personal favourite album of theirs. A marriage of lyrics and music.

[@DocHikes]

Can't go wrong with Pink Floyd. I've seen Roger Waters live twice now- both times at Newport Folk Festival in RI. Definitely do it if you get the chance. It's amazing!

[@IloveBROCOLIS]

I was waiting for this reaction!!

[@anmts5565]

you HAVE to do animals next🙏

[@CoolcatzCorner]

[@David-iv6je]

This is the album where Gilmour became a guitar god. Hard to say what happened to level him up, but you can hear him smoking over and over on this album: slide, acoustic, and straight up half-time electric blues solos. I'd be curious if anybody know what influenced him to create his signature style here. Because it is him for the rest of his career and there were only glimmers of it before this album.

[@CoolcatzCorner]

The lack of modest mouse is killin me. Love your channel though

[@nothingreally6680]

long drive is stunning, though i wish it included edit the sad parts

[@CoolcatzCorner]

@@nothingreally6680 right on. Edit is my favorite MM song

[@glynjones2587]

Another great reaction mate. 👍🏻

[@mawtymawty9010]

Echoes was my favorite song until I heard Close To The Edge. I know you like powerful male vocals, so I'm just gonna keep suggesting Superunknown by Soundgarden. Some say Badmotorfinger is their best album, but they really mean Superunknown. Chris Cornell had quite possibly the greatest voice of any rock singer

[@CoolcatzCorner]

real

[@IanHillan]

Seconding Superunknown. That, Ten and Nevermind were all on constant repeat for me in the early to mid-nineties

[@stellar_jay]

New sub! Echoes is probably my favorite Pink Floyd song such a journey!

[@louisbhtanner7503]

Nice! What a great album and reaction

[@musicaddict5076]

We used to listen to this camping with a boom box and some hallucinogens. Good times. Great album.

[@fishblades]

My favorite Floyd album. It's the middle ground between the old and new in their catalog. It hits the psychedelic and pure musicality perfectly. It's funny you were a bit scared of echoes when it's by far my favorite Floyd song. Beautiful melody and.lyrics veering into abstract painful noise and back again. One of my favorite pieces of music ever.

[@Unknownfrencghost]

I love how this video is shorter than Echoes, would recommend Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, very weird album but its one of my favourite Pink Floyd

[@Cypmongolien]

aint no way this is one of my fav album ever! echoes gotta one of the bes songs of all times

[@pigonthewind7908]

Recommending PAWN HEARTS by Van Der Graaf Generator

[@thatsharakiri178]

that whining on echoes is produced by putting your guitars input plug into the output, then the output into the next part of the signal chain, one of the loudest things you can produce with a guitar

[@keithmorrison8373]

Yeah not exactly a great sound admittedly that part is kinda bad actually screw it its horrible

[@resiseven7407]

​@@keithmorrison8373nah it rocks actually

[@keithmorrison8373]

​@@resiseven7407 that was 4 months ago and yeah i agree now its actually cool was in a bad mood that month

[@themindblowing826]

As far as a PF recommendation goes, do listen to Atom Heart Mother, my favourite PF album aside from DSOTM I also once again recommend A Towel Blanket is Peaceful by Kaneko Ayano

[@robertweisberger1612]

YES!!!

[@user-jf1ib2ml8c]

Please listen to Ummagumma by them. It's a double album (live and studio) that has much more of an experimental taste than their other stuff and also has sort of a spacy and refreshing sound, I guess.

[@sadi0807]

better to listen when more experienced with pink floyd, the live record is amazing but the studio part of ummagumma is very hard to like

[@solofrag3454]

@@sadi0807 several species is a masterpiece god dammit and I won’t let anyone tell me otherwise

[@itsberzerk9279]

Echoes is literally perfecr

[@philshorten3221]

A couple from an "older" Led Zeppelin / Pink Floyd fan Led Zeppelin "Since I've Been Loving" live at Madison Square Gardens 1973 Pink Floyd "Comfortably Numb" Live Pulse Concert

[@torna2508]

I know you're making prog rock reviews lately, but if you ever want some indie weird pop music then you gotta try pop food. It doesn't make sense at all, but you HAVE yo try it.

[@nikolanikolic1366]

Oh interesting pick!

[@spicymeatball0688]

have you listened to radiohead

[@smags1082]

Ok Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows

[@ryanmcbride3806]

listen to a moon shaped pool

[@nikolanikolic1366]

Id like to recommend the album Paralellograms by Linda Perhacs.

[@keithmorrison8373]

I am pretty sure the guitar squeal on echoes is indeed ment to sound like an animal or maybe a whale song of some sort

[@PJ-se6ue]

This album is so goated

[@jimschroeder1176]

Mike Oldfield - Crises

[@joopnoop9343]

the live version of echoes they performed at the ruins of pompeii is fucking god teir its the only version i can listen to ong probably my favorite pink floyd song

[@keithmorrison8373]

Seamus is funny it just sounds like the spongebob music

[@crackbaby4444]

I suggest you listen to Mount Eerie - A crow looked at me. Trust me, nothing can prepare you for that listening experience

[@alexandredincao3645]

The cover of the album is an ear.
