My father served in the Soviet army in the year 1980. He was stationed in Stettin/Poland for two years. A mechanican for the Mig-23. He had a good relationship with the political commissar. Every now and then my father would help him with difficult tasks around the polit commissars house. One day the political commissar wasn't in the house and gave my father some order to clean the house alone. My father found a good stereo system in the living room. When he turned it on, there was a Pink Floyd record in the system. He listened to them up and down for hours. He said he had never heard such brilliant music. When the political commissar caught him, he just had a smile on his face and said he could keep listening without fear. It is worth it. My father never stopped listening to Pink Floyd. One day when I was 8 years old he gave me a cassette recorder and a Pink Floyd cassette as a gift. It was the "Delicate Sound of Thunder *Live". Great piece of art. I loved it immediately. 30 years later, I still listen to Pink Floyd a lot, and of course in the car too. At some point when I brought my 7-year-old daughter to school she asked: "Dad, can you please play that one song where the woman sang so beautifully?" She wanted the song “The great gig in the sky”. Of course I turned on the song immediately and had to smile. What a long and winding road this music had. Pink Floyd was passed down in my family like a precious heirloom. Pink Floyd will always have a place in my heart.

I've heard this song hundreds of times maybe more in the past 40 years or so and it still holds such incredible power every time I hear it, absolutely amazing. And in my opinion this performance is by far the very best version. It's so raw, so energetic and powerful, just rips into your spirit like no other. Especially keeping in mind what happened in that very spot 2000 years ago to the people of Pompeii. This is a masterpiece of musical art, that's all I can say really.

I mean wow man listen to those bends too, and the tone of it and the slow melodic sounds, I'm sorry I don't really have words for it honestly. Oh yeah and the composition of this, the key it's in and the chords and Rick's organ of course wow it's so great. This song NEVER gets old! It's rock and it jams out but it's also so beautiful and smooth I don't know how in the world they did this really. Clearly they are all on the same page creatively, no doubt about that.

[@garethfitzpatrick3932]

Mason is vital in Floyd. Seeing him recently with his Saucerful of Secrets tour, it’s clear his hypnotic and imaginative drumming style plays no small part in their sound.

[@trevorjameson3213]

I think part of what made Nick Mason so good is that he was completely self-taught, as said by himself in an interview I saw years ago. I'm thinking that being self-taught allows you to be more creative without a teacher constantly correcting you. I always loved his drumming, especially this more raw, jamming type of thing in Echoes and previous works. Even decades later when David Gilmour hired Steve to be his drummer in modern times, Steve plays in the same style as Nick did later on, like how he played on Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you were here, Animals, and The Wall.

[@Searching4Reason]

One thing I have always loved about their music is that even when there are just instruments playing, it still feels like it's telling a story. They have been my favorite band since the 70's.

[@TheHunterGracchus]

The great Arnold Steinhardt, who played first violin for the Guarneri String Quartet, wrote in a memoire that every piece of music tells a story, even "May Had a Little Lamb." The challenge for any musician is to discover that story and tell it in their own way. In the rock world, the ability to do that is what sets David Gilmour apart.

Indeed. In 1977 I was a teenager sacking groceries at the local supermarket after school and on weekends. That year, I saved all I could to put together the best stereo system I could afford - Infinity Qb speakers, a Dual direct drive turntable with a top-of-the-line Shure cartridge and a Pioneer SA II integrated amplifier that put out a very clean 100 watts per channel. It cost me about $1,200 dollars, which in today's money would be about $6,000. Worth every penny to play music like this.

I've been a huge fan of Pink Floyd for over 40 years. Echoes is on the Meddle album, which was the very first album I ever owned and it is my all-time favorite piece of Rock music. I am thrilled to see how mesmerized you are at Echoes and how you translate your feelings live. It is refreshing to see a young woman be moved so profoundly by a masterpiece such as this one. Good on you for sharing this with the world. A testament to the immortality of Pink Floyd's work. Keep up the good work!

In January 2000, I went to Pompeii for the first time. I had a portable CD player and the Pink Floyd Echoes CD with me. I went onto to the stands of this amphitheater (it was allowed then!) and listened to Echoes remembering the countless times I watched this videos in VHS. It was a wonderful moment I will cherish forever!

[@aybesea69]

You came up on my KZbin from this reaction video. Pompeii is a real treat... the whole thing. But Echoes is the crown jewels. So glad you found it. I'll be watching the channel as long as you keep digging up these spectacular songs like you have recently.

[@Rich_N_1]

This was from the movie "Pink Floyd - Live in Pompeii" by the French film director Adrian Maben which was on general cinematic release in 1972. They managed to get permission from the mayor of Naples, who was a big Floyd fan, that they would close the ancient site to tourists for 6 days to allow for the shoot. This being Italy of course, they had power cuts for the first couple of days so as a result didn't get the full footage that Maben had expected. This was the reason for the studio clips interspersed with the Pompeii footage in Part 2 which were recorded in a Paris studio at a later date. It was Maben's idea to split into Parts 1 and 2, which bookend the movie, normally the piece would be played in one continuous performance. Glad to see you once again so enjoying this music, can you imagine the effect it had on us in the 1970's, there was truly nothing comparable at the time, still isn't really.

[@askallois]

What does Italy have to do with it, as if we are always plunged into darkness because of electricity blackouts. Pompeii is an archaeological site, not an industrial centre, it is clear that the electricity supply was not sufficient and they had to upgrade the lines for the increased use of power by amplifiers and loudspeakers. You paint Italy as a backward country, at the time we even had nuclear power stations. The usual foreign arrogance, you build Ferraris, Maseratis, Lamborghinis, De Tommaso, Ducati, Aprilia, Pagani, Lancia Delta 4W, but you will be remembered for building the little Fiat 500

[@nicoladc89]

1. The Pompei site is not in Naples, is in Pompei. So at least they managed to get permission from the mayor of Pompei, not Naples 2. The mayor of Pompei count zero (and the mayor of Naples less than zero), they asked the permission to the Superintendence of archeology and fine arts of Naples (that is the local institution of the ministry of culture) through a professor of the University of Naples. They were granted exclusive entry to the site for 6 days, resulting in the site being closed to visitors. 3. They didn't have power cuts, simply the electrical system of a Roman amphitheater in which the last show helded was dated 79AD is not the electical system of a modern stadium, it did not have enough power to run all the instruments of the band and all the equipment of the troupe, so they had to connect the system to the town hall with a long cable. Furthermore the band demanded to play everything live, refusing playback, so they had to ship all their giant equipment -including a 24 tracks recording system - by truck from England to Pompeii (this took 3 days). Usually the production of a film makes sure to have electricity in the places where they shoot, before arriving there. But since they didn't even have the money to pay for the hotel, maybe they didn't have any for electric generators. For these reasons they were only able to shoot for 4 days out of the 6 they had available. Where I come from they say "you can't have the chicken, the egg and keep your ass warm"

I think it’s The Wall that scares people away from Floyd.

That was just a little over half the song. There is a part 2. When the band made this video/concert, they opened with the first part of Echoes and closed the concert/video with the second part. On the album, it's all one song that is just over 23 minutes.

I saw them play this live in the fall of 1972 in a rectangular hall in Austin Tx. The acoustics are different in a rectangular hall and in this case they were also experimenting with quad sound. Along with the speakers in front of the audience there were speakers in the back corners of the hall. The sound engineers were moving the sound all around us in a 360 degree auditory experience. This was about 5 months prior to the release of Dark Side of the Moon so it was in support of Atom Heart Mother. They did Astronomy Domine, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Careful with that Axe Eugene and A Saucer Full of Secrets with Echoes being their encore piece. It being the early '70's and this being Pink Floyd, a lot of people had taken LSD for the show. I have never seen so many people being led out by the hand while lost in a total haze. That quad sound just took these songs to another level and could only have been done effectively in a rectangular hall, stadiums couldn't have done it properly. This concert is still my diamond standard by which I judge all other concerts. All done without Feedback suppressors, de"S"ers, any of the supporting effects so taken for granted today. In later years they added backup singers and other musicians, all to good effect, but this was just the 4 of them in complete mastery of the stage. Like I said.... Diamond standard.

[@dhtm3577]

I’m with you. Saw them in 1971 in San Francisco. It began with hearing Piper at the Gates of Dawn as a young teen. I love their early work and those memories. They will always be my favorite band!!!!! Thanks for reacting ❤️🙏

Lucky you, sounds like a great gig! Although they wouldn’t have been touring in support of Atom Heart Mother (Meddle/Obscured by Clouds were the preceding albums) and I don’t think they were playing Astronomy Domine in 1972. They were also playing a nascent version of The Dark Side of The Moon on this tour (that must have been amazing to hear live!).

[@tonyharmon8512]

​@@forsakengardens Echos was the encore song and Obscured by Clouds was released about 4 months prior to this concert. I do remember at least one song from Atom Heart Mother but none from DSOM. It was after this tour that they did their studio time on DSOM so perhaps they didn't try any out early. As to Astronomy Domine, the song was on their debut album from 1967 and was a staple of their shows. I believe they also did See Emily Play. Like I said, just the 4 of them on stage and such an exceptional level of music it was a never to be forgotten moment.

[@forsakengardens]

I think that you’ve either forgotten the DSoTM part of the gig or else missed it. They were playing DSoTM for all of 1972 (first part of concert). Astronomy Domine was last played in June 1971 and there was no way they would have played See Emily Play (was only played live a few times when Syd was still in the group)!! Perhaps you’re thinking of a gig a couple of years previously or maybe you were on some strong shit!! ;)
