WOAH!!! Rapper FIRST TIME REACTION to Pink Floyd - “Echoes” Pompeii

[@Thor_7577]

Love it when people say Pink Floyd is one of my new favorite groups. Welcome friend.✌🏻😎

[@johnthomas1422]

Pompeii is known as one of the most accoustic ancient theatres to ever exist. Pink Floyd worked with Rome so that they could take advantage of the acoustics of the amphithetre and decided the best way to do it was to hold a live concert, but don't invite any fans. That way, they could have a studio sounding live album, and they recorded it all on video as well. Live at Pompei (pom pay) was pretty much a 1 of a kind idea by pink floyd to produce a live experience that everyone can experience at home. They were innovative.

[@HUEnshiro_do_Norte]

"Live At Pompeii" blew my mind when I watched this 15 years ago. I believe that is one of my top five personal cinematography milestones.

[@ARCE_ANGELS-en4pg]

dude that is my favorite live performance of pink floyd ever, it was 1972 live in Pompeii and its beautiful

[@MrsCRN_esq]

Another one I’ve been anticipating your reaction for. I love seeing young Pink Floyd, especially the beautiful David Gilmour ✌🏻💕

[@PradaWest]

Added!

[@peardrop61]

You pronounce it Pom pay. No one had performed here in 2,000 years until Pink Floyd did it. Echoes has a part 2. Ghost of the people that died here from volcano in 79 A.D. You could go to the movies and watch this concert. There are more songs.

[@PradaWest]

Ok thanks 🙏🏼

Great concert movie with clips of them in the studio recording Dark Side of The Moon.

I've watched that concert so many times it's so amazing,im sure you can see the whole thing on KZbin

[@mrcatsuit]

Why criticize his pronunciation of pompei? Was that necessary?

[@norahdenovan8658]

I know this backwards I’ve watched it so many times. It is a masterpiece , but you have to watch part 2 as well. An old Floydian here of over 50yrs. Like so many, I had the Dark side of the Moon poster on my bedroom wall. They will be played forever 🙏❤️ If you have not done The Pulse concert, then it’s a must 👍

[@ewilde1968]

I saw Floyd play in Montreal in the 80s, with both Gilmore and Waters. They timed the show to open with Echoes just as the sun went down. It was beautiful. It was weird. I loved it!

[@Sean_est76]

Pink Floyd are Superb

[@philshorten3221]

BTW back in the day, we had a Yin and Yang of Rock We had Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin Deepest darkest blackness vs pure brilliant white. Some argue one is better than the other, personally I found having these opposites brought a balance to my little universe and still do! Check out, Led Zeppelin "Since I've Been Loving You" live at Madison Square Gardens 1973 😉

1st time watching this.i was only 1yr old when this took place.loved Floyd for many yrs but really got into their music in my teens.lately tho ive been down a rabbit hole of all the great artists from this era and its brilliant to hear good music.no autotune! Oh and phones at concerts either! Ty Prada for your reaction as always ❤

[@andyb1653]

"am-pith-eatre" And yea, these places all had similar architecture. They had that shit down to a SCIENCE. Back when these places were intact, the acoustics were damn near perfect. You didn't even need a sound system, everyone in the stands could hear the performer crystal-clear.

I had forgotten how much I love this album. I’m going to listen to it tonight. Don’t know how much you have listened to but “Wish you were here” is my favourite album.

[@Frank-pe9pk]

I was a junior in high school when this came out. I have followed Pink Floyd back when Syd Barrett was still around. David changed everything.

Nice reaction. A classic. Anyone who would go to see Pink Floyd or Queen definitely would see YES and a song called Roundabout off the Fragile album. Enjoy ✨️🎶✨️

[@Dutch1961]

Pink Flod never thought of themselves as 'a band'. Their goal was to create audio-visual spectacles. That's why their live performances are epic.

[@johnnygaspari5805]

it's not the Colosseum, that's in Rome, the video was shot in the amphitheater of Pompeii. All Roman cities had an amphitheater like the Colosseum but smaller. the filming was also done in the Phlegraean fields in Pozzuoli near Naples which is a volcano under the city where hundreds of thousands of people live and which the ancient Romans called the devil's house because of the sulfur that comes out of the ground

[@LVVMCMLV]

1971 was the best year for music...

[@Momshouseofchaos]

After you watch Part 1 and 2 of the Pompeii performance of Echoes, be sure to check out the final time Echoes was performed in 2007 or so. Richard Wright, the keyboardist died shortly after that from cancer & David Gilmour, the guitarist has said he will never play it again because it woukdnt be the same without his friend. The final performance is especially incredible because as the two play out the final few minutes of the piece, its as if two old friends are having an unspoken conversation covering a lifetime using only their instruments to speak. Its absolutely beautiful. I'd also recommend checking out two versions of their song Saucerful of Secrets. Listen to the version from the album of the same name, and then the version from Pompeii. The first 2/3 of the song is instrumental, but the vocals from each version give a different vibe from each other. Its hard to choose a favorite.

[@Lue-eye]

On The Turning Away (restored version) Live. You’ll love it 🎸

[@guimagsantos]

Voices: David Gilmour (guitar) and Richard Wright (keyboards); Roger Waters in bass and Nick Mason on drums. Location: Pompeii, was an ancient Roman city near modern Naples that was buried by a volcanic eruption in 79 AD, preserving its ruins. Basically, Pink Floyd just went there and checked out the acoustics of the ancient theater and filmed it, made it rock your ears off. 💥

[@keyrat1753]

Please check out Part 2 of Echoes live in Pompeii (1971).

[@tommc3622]

Part 2 might actually be.... better? The building of tension is masterclass. (However, the funk section of part 1 is hard to beat, and the prolonged intro in this version is also just sublime. ) ... You must listen to the whole piece.

[@jim1125-cv6yg]

This is the first time on video that this song was played. Advice to the last time was going to be ever played as Rick (keys) death. Dave said he always felt that Rick and himself talk to each other with their instruments. This was the first time anyone perform in the theater since 79 AD and Dave return in 2016 (solo tour ) HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT ****. " In any Tongue:" 5 A.M. with the volcano at the start in the background into "Rattle That Lock" ending with Comfortably" Which has 125 million views on You Tube.

[@Wikid_Media]

Pink Floyd and Yes's music is already considered the new Mozart Bach and Beethoven of the 20th century by some.

[@Wikid_Media]

I never understood how someone could like music like this and yet still get into listening something that sounds like you're listening to a clock tick like rap? Rap is not even music because they don't use instruments, they use drum machines to press buttons to get repetitive beats and they pull levers on sequencers and sometimes scratch albums with a stylus. It's robotically timed like a mechanical clock and is repetitive and redundant as can be, everything is digital today. And something that is mechanical and robotically timed is not human or natural. Music like this is natural because it's syncopated beats which means it's organized chaos coming from instruments where the timing goes by the beat of the musician but in such a way that it makes sense as long as everything is in key. Music like Pink Floyd's always sounds like a story being told. A collective piece of music that reflects the chemistry of four guys coming from their instruments out through the amplifiers. Rap music can make you stupid if you listen to it too much because repetition is an excellent form of mind control that will give you a short attention span because the beats are too predictable, then since your mind already knows the beats and doesn''t have to cognitively process anymore of the music (but it is not music) then your brain goes into a semi-conscious state which is the equivalent to being hypnotized. And that's exactly what the government (who is supposed to censor what we listen to) likes so the masses can be more easily controlled.😂

The craziest part of this video is that Pompeii died in a day. I wonder how many citizens bought tickets to the show? Once excavated Pink Floyd played a concert to the dead still laying there in the form of stone. It was a long wait, but the show finaly arrived.

[@maxnovax3948]

Just FYI it's pronounced Pom-pay; and you're right, it is another Roman Coliseum. The city of Pompeii was buried by a volcanic eruption about 2000 years ago. It preserved everything like a time capsule. Cheers.
