Have you ever noticed the presence of Echoes in the Wall? I know of only two bits, so tell me if there are more: First one is the Echoes opening "ping" note during the Hey You bridge, just before the final lyrical verse. Second, during the next song, Is There Anybody Out There?, you can hear a short sample the similar sounds of the Echoes (middle part) "screaming creatures" in the beginning of the song, during the vocals. Of course, I was a little "trippy" when I first noticed it. But I've never seen any other Floyd fans acknowledge this.

Thumping, wailing, wild rock, (One of these Days) and smooth, gentle, thoughtful pieces (A Pillow of Winds, Fearless), the upbeat, sort-of "popsy" tune (St Tropez), and whatever the bluesy, doggy Seamus is...LOL.

Interesting video! I first heard about Pink Floyd when a video game magazine referenced a soundtrack to a game as sounding “like a Pink Floyd album”. That was in 1994, around the time of Pulse. So I began saying I was into PF, without having heard their music. It wasn’t until 2003 that I got Dark Side of the Moon on CD, as well as The Wall, that I actually listened to the band. And I can’t forget watching Live 8 in 2005 on television, with the band reuniting for the first time in more than 20 years, because if I am correct, A Momentary Lapse of Reason in 1987 lacked Roger Waters, leading many pundits to call that particular album “Pink Floyd Lite”!

Saw PInk Floyd on the DSOTM tour Sept ‘72 they played the album or most of it anyway but the closer was Echoes which just blew the audience away. At the end the band just disappeared and when the lights came up they were gone. Eight thousand people filed out of the Coliseum in complete silence, stunned by what they had just seen and heard.. .oh, the light show was mind boggling. Years later i thought that i had just imagined the audience leaving in silence but then in ‘86 i was playing in a band with a guy who had also been at the concert and we compared notes and he mentioned the same exact thing. Complete shock and silence after the gig. Next to seeing the Beatles that concert was the beyond description. Truly stunning.
