It's 1972. WAY beyond time in sound. For ALL decades

[@nickmastro6870]

Intro is a piano amplified through the "fast" setting of a Leslie (rotating) speaker

[@zlatan5799]

The greatest band of all time.

[@roballen5718]

the scary sound, at the end, is a wind machine. if you want to actually see it in operation, check out 'One Of These Days', live at Pompeii, David Gilmour as a solo artist, 2016. glad to see you react to the whole thing. most people just react to part 1.

[@Christopher50now]

It’s also their voices running through effects.

[@roballen5718]

@@Christopher50nowoh. thanks for the info

[@antonellaandreotti2917]

​@@Christopher50nowscala Shepard, credo...almeno nella versione studio

[@Andy-Capp]

I’m so happy you played both parts in one go. So many reactors only do part 1. Echoes is the whole of side 2 of the Meddle album. For this Pink Floyd live at Pompeii show this split the song into 2 parts to start and end the show.

[@OriginalPuro]

So many just listen to one and one song rather than the entirety in one go, as it is meant to be enjoyed.

[@philshorten3221]

That "da da da da dum" was pinched by Andrew Loyd Webber for the stage show The Phantom of the Opera 😉

[@Christopher50now]

I think I remember hearing Roger say it was worthy of litigation but who cares.

[@Enrico.Sbardolini]

@Christopher50now Roger has however well "stigmatized" Lloyd Webber's plagiarism in his song *_It's a Miracle_* m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHW3iKarrqmMiK8

[@annettemoore7264]

If ever there was a universal language music is it..and Pink Floyd are the masters of speaking without words..❤

[@Kotic1959]

"Echoes" begins with a "ping" that was created as a result of an experiment very early in the Meddle sessions, produced by amplifying a grand piano played by Richard Wright and sending the signal through a Leslie speaker and a Binson Echorec unit.

[@philshorten3221]

So after this album (Meddle) which had Echoes as the entire Side 2, they went on to record one of greatest albums of all time The Dark Side of the Moon Best done in 2 hits (side 1 & side 2) because each track transitions directly into the next and themes follow. DSOTM is basically a "Bible" for modern life and worth having the lyrics to hand as concepts run deep

[@lesliespears8918]

Like the Beatles, and Hendrix...Floyd music 🎶 will last forever. Well, 3 or 4 more centuries...at least .

[@philshorten3221]

A little song about all life on the entire planet and how we should be better human beings

[@jamiedimond9419]

"how we should become better human beings"...is cliche Marxist programming

[@MrThumbs63]

and not be a Nazi like Waters.

[@MrSinnerBOFH]

The top of cool is Guilmour playing Blackie shirtless in Pompeii. Nothing tops that. This whole “Echoes” piece is brilliant, specially this Live in Pompeii version. You can feel all their feels in the way they play

[@swfcocs1]

Indeed, especially as Gilmour, in that classic British upper middle class way, will have been pretty nonplussed and whatever about the whole looking like the complete 70s rock god thing 😅 and not caring less about cool is the epitome of cool

[@garrymcculloch2826]

Quite simply.......A MASTERPIECE

[@ahmettahsinertas2652]

Never gets old. Still feel the same old chills when i heard it fırst time 20 some years ago

[@christopherhuot2826]

I first listened to this on an 8 track boom box in the mid 70's 😅

[@scozz6139]

There's no band on the planet like Pink Floyd, they're in a category all of their own! Here's a live video from 2006 Pink Floyd, (actually just David Gilmour and Rick Wright), performing "Echoes", both parts 1 and 2. This may be the last time Gilmour and Wright performed "Echoes" together, Rick Wright died of cancer in 2008. Gilmour said after Wrights death that he would never play "Echoes again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZetpaisdr19nMk

[@greggpangle4385]

When I first head this, in 1990, I wept. I still do. I'm a guitarist. Been playing since I was 5. I'm about to turn 55.

[@NicholasPellow]

Love this performance! You are definately hitting alot of my favourite music from my youth on this channel. The keyboard effect you are asking about is due to the use of a Leslie Amplifier - amp and speaker mounted below facing upwards to a spinning double horn whose speed can be adjusted. My father played with one connected to his Hammond B3 in the 70s when he was playing in bands, the Leslie Amp sat in our house between gigs. It was huge! At least 200lbs

[@deanmccartney5021]

This movie came out in the 70s. I saw it for the first time in a drive in movie theater as a 12:00 movie. Awsum.

[@christopherhuot2826]

Still gives me GOOSEBUMPS 😮😊

[@vicprovost2561]

You should do the whole concert documentary, it is atmospheric and amazing. We were used to 20 minute songs back then my friend, this is a fine example and their are many more, do Close to the Edge by YES and Tarkus by ELP for more utter greatness! Pink Floyd was the best! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@RedPillMode]

Wonderful piece of music. Enjoyed you hearing it the first time 🙂. I heard it about 41 years ago, and it totally blew me away. After a few listens, that is. One of my favourites from PF. Another early epic is Atom Heart Mother. Do that too. Very very different.

[@infomax4572]

Great reaction to a fantastic Pink Floyd supersong from 1971 or 72

[@ianfortier6796]

Gotta hit the studio version of Comfortably Numb (my favourite song of all time), and then the re-edited and remastered PULSE version of the song. You'll see how immense and amazing the visual experience evolved to along with the music. PULSE was recorded in 1994 and the remastered version was released in 2019.

[@65alef]

Il brano originale di studio e dall'album MEDDLE dura quasi 24 minuti ed è un'esperienza che chiunque ama la musica dovrebbe ascoltare almeno una volta nella vita. La bellezza dell'Universo suonata e cantata da 4 ragazzi all'epoca poco più che ventenni.

[@ianfortier6796]

Also, the studio version is all one piece of music which took up the whole of the second side of the LP.

[@brentcarswell8424]

An absolute masterpiece.

[@RoadDoug]

I think PFs first few albums we’re experimenting with different musical possibilities. They found their niche here and exploited it in Dark Side of the Moon.

[@flubblert]

It is a meditation on the evolution of life on Earth. Only Pink Floyd.

[@jeslookn5470]

I saw this film at the theater in 1974. It was not easy to remember the names of the songs, then go to the store to find the albums.

[@jonhenke1504]

The very end has David Gilmour the guitarist and Richard Wright the keyboardist having a end-of-the-day conversation as they part ways until next time! That's the way I always took the ending of this song or actually more accurately stated "piece of music" like a Mozart Requiem or Beethoven 9th symphony!!

[@UngaBunga1966]

Strangers passing in the street By chance, two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me. One of the most profound lyrics certainly in rock history, maybe in music history.

[@brentcarswell8424]

💯

[@jamiedimond9419]

called Gnosticism

[@jennhurl]

"Comfortably Numb" live Pulse Concert. David Gilmour's guitar solo is flawless & iconic. Pink Floyd's music is meant to be felt just as much as heard. Enjoy!

[@gfisfeld]

If anyone else has answered the question, sorry for the repeat. The scary sound at the end is called "A Shepherd's Tone". It's an auditory illusion, three notes played together and the volume of each note alternates from lowest to highest and repeated on a loop. This way you can hear a note "endlessly" increasing in pitch or if you turn it around endlessly lowering.

[@JoneRuiz]

Interesting. I need to find more information about the Sheperd’s Tone. Probably i did learned something like this on modern music theory class but of course, that was long time ago. Your comment was great! Was very easy to understand!

[@Rassskle]

As a classical guitarist I’m surprised by your initial reaction to a 24 minute song. Surely when you play or listen to the Concierto de Aranjuez you want it to go on forever ? I do...... lol David Gilmour treats each guitar note with the same reverence as a classical guitar player....... he is all about tone, duration, harmonics , feel, emotion....... and the silence between notes that add suspense and meaning. First the Meddle album was released , then someone visiting Pompeii realised how the ampitheatre was a perfect setting for a live performance of the Meddle album and Echos in particular. Somehow, they got the governments to allow this concert to take place ( without an audience ) . For electricity they ran a cable from the nearest farm house...... many hundreds of meters of joined cables. The first performance at the original Roman Ampitheatre for over 2,000 years. ( The Coliseum was built more than 80 years AFTER Pompeii was destroyed by the Mt Vesuvius eruption ).

[@Christopher50now]

It’s all one song. Just split for this recording. It starts and ends the Pompeii recording.

[@chac65]

It is a piano played through a Leslie rotory speaker. That is why it has that peculiar vibrato.

[@Rassskle]

Nearly forgot...... this concert was performed and recorded in 1971 , released in 1972 and the film version released in 1973. A few years later , Andrew Webber stole the vocal harmony and music for his own masterpiece, The Phantom of The Opera and became Sir Andrew Loyd Webber. lol

[@1234tori]

first of all studio version - great react

[@voodoochild1975az]

All the times ive heard this song.... And it can still makenthe hair on my neck and arms stand up.... I could say Floud went their own way and werent afraid to break some rules in music.... But its more that they would be deeply offended by the very concept of rules in music.

[@ianfortier6796]

Great reaction, man! Loving your channel! As great as this version is, where it hits at the 19:00 mark and through to 19:57, it hits harder in the studio version. I also prefer the guitar opening in the studio version. This one is strictly slide while in the studio, the slide portion is used for ambience and the intro solo is played the standard way. This version does some things better than the studio, though. IMO, the 2006 live at Gdansk version is the definitive because it incorporates the best of both versions. lol that creepy escalation at the end is Rick's keyboard work, not the wind machine as someone stated earlier. The escalating at the tail end is meant to be reminiscent of the voices of the dead (at least imo), as the song is actually a journey through the evolution of man, along with how we're all different yet descended from a single point in time. Looking forward to more!

[@Enrico.Sbardolini]

The ending (best in the LP ... in which it is also briefly used above) is a very precise musical scheme called *_Shepard Tone_* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone In "modern music" it was also used by the Beatles and Hans Zimmer. In Echoes a glissando of a male choir was cut into a ring and mixed so as to give the illusion of a continuous climb.

[@pandoracorner1]

Listening to Pink Floyd and asking yourself "What's happening?". I've been asking myself the same question for over 30 years and still looking for answer.

[@gbsailing9436]

the audio version is actually better with greater guitar work from David, and greater depth musically from all the band, and you don't have the funny break in-between the parts and it all flows nicely from one part to another - it will put the start of the 2nd part here into proper context. Plus the recording back in '71 what fantastic, great quality. Do you self a favour and lie down in a dark room and listen to the whole thing again. But don't omit to listen to the other side of the album - also fantastic !!!

[@thumpyloudfoot864]

One could make the argument that it gets pretty hot in Pompeii, trust me...

[@ShawnKavanagh]

Echoes when I travel with the Doctor

[@waelhafez992]

just a suggestion read the comments from time to time the whole point is to get feedback from the people who watch your reactions to get the opportunity to learn more but if you're interested only in views then you're doing ok

[@deividasprunskas6689]

Love Your Pink Floyd reactions ,p lease do Atom Heart Mother too :)

[@welshred5995]

i wonder if the sound at the end is the volcano erupting.

[@amnril]

The lighter haired singer, Dave Gilmour is the main singer of this song.

[@johnhickman2033]

You need to up the volume a little!

[@thumpyloudfoot864]

If it sounds familiar its because Andrew Lloyd Weber stole the descending ascending melody for Phantom of the Opera... That man is an absolute menace when it comes to plagiarism LOL...

[@SamValiantt]

In your next video can you say "My name is giovanni giorgio but everybody calls me Giorgio"?

[@drhust1955]

The sounds at the end are distorted voices. Only my opinion.

[@llanitedave]

"Life's too short to bother with suing Andrew f...ing Lloyd Webber". Roger Water's reaction to accusations that Webber had plagerized Pink Floyd's guitar theme from "Echoes" for his musical "Phantom of the Opera." There are differences -- Webber did it on an organ, and it's primitive compared to Pink Floyd's far more complex and developed theme. Still, you'd think he could have been more original, although, if you're going to steal music, it might as well be *great* music. Very well done reaction, BTW.

[@christopherhuot2826]

You're trying to analyze too much, just go with it !!!

[@jonasjohansen8287]

very low unfortunately.
