A tribute to Pink Floyd founder member Richard Wright, who passed away Monday 15th September 2008, aged 65, after a short battle with cancer.
Features Richard's last interview of September 2007.
"Summer '68" remains in my Top Ten Pink Floyd songs.
Richard Wright is truly missed. He was a great guy and attributed many great songs to the Floyd legacy.
Rogers ,timing and punch, gilmour, Melody, feeling. But Wright.. structure of harmony architectual musical genius.❤
There would have been no DSOM, Animals, Wall without Roger's idea of such albums in the first place, there would be just ...well nice feeling
This is an outstanding documentary about Rick! He was so underrated as a musician and overshadowed by Roger and David. Rick and David worked so well together and brought out the best of Roger’s lyrics. Wright and Gilmour meshed together for the post-Syd Barrett Pink Floyd. Rick is certainly missed my Gilmour and all the Pink Floyd fans
On the contrary he was very much overrated.
@@timcoakley5498 You need to get off this thread. Why are you watching or commenting if you are not a fan???….Whatever! Nothing good to say?….stay silent. That’s the problem with this world today everybody NEEDS to have an opinion.
Have just found this. It's beautiful. Rick has always been quite shy (maybe by the circumstances) but he seems more comfortable in this interview. Such a sad lost
Richard Wright had a very cool way of making unusual chord progressions work in a way that you don’t fully notice how unusual it all was. the best examples i can muster are the last movement of saucerful of secrets, also the chord progression on the long outro of Cirrus Minor. most notable was his inclusion of a chord he heard on miles davis record and slipped it in between the end of the “chorus” of Breathe and ties it into the main theme or verse , like couild you imagine that song without that chord? it’s a defining moment in shaping the pink floyd sound or style post syd and like Richard Wright pushed the boundaries of modern rock music with a sneaky jazz chord melting the song together…RIP Richard Wright, your part in the greatness/grandeur of floyd sound is still being unfolded today, mainly because he carried himself in a very quiet, humble manner.
un grande musicista di cui si parla poco, un vero peccato averlo perso prematuramente
Thank you very much indeed for the opportunity to hear this very last interview because we cannot hear this log now in Japan. I am quite happy to hear the voice again!
He never was treated well enough to his efforts! A shame they contracted him as session musician on albums & not as a full member. Maybe contract issues...but they should have been more nice & thankful to all his good work and personal inputs... finally David did that. Sad he died so shortly after. They were a good team playing together! Left me devastated because I knew... without him PF are definitely on the way to die. David & Roger can't with each other anymore. RIP Richard. RIP Pink Floyd. 😢
Most of the vibes that you can feel in your body & hear while listening is coming from Richards experimental use of his organs,pianos & keyboards! The other instruments went the same way but didn't reach that incredible vibrations...pluckering basses,incredible drumming,very much rythmic & joyful! But the magic mystic atmosphere was made by Richard. That made me addicted to Pink Floyd! It's how they were sounding! And as Richard was explaining...it was very much like pictures that were painted with their instruments! Syd brought it in. He was a lot about sound & painting with words. After Richard was the inventor of creating soundscapes...imagine PF without him... impossible! Had been a good modern blues band perhaps,because David was a great guitar player! But all the records could never have been made without Richard Wright. Personally I see him as the biggest talent in the band. Up with Syd. I wish there had been more solo albums of him though. He's my favourite...also the most intelligent & friendly of the band!
Светлая память замечательному музыканту. 🌹
Gracias por compartir esta maravillosa entrevista a Rick, y permitirnos viajar y revivir momentos memorables!!!!!!
Rick siempre estaras presente en nuestros ❤ ..creaste sonidos magicos..gracias infinitas!!!!!
Descansa en Paz👏👏👏❤
Didn't know how painful the Wall period was for Rick Wright. Creativity was stifled. Interestingly, the Wall period and subsequent "Pink Floyd" albums lost a lot of the original magic that happened when they were all equal members like DSOTM, Meddle, Obscured By Clouds, Wish You Were Here. That was "The Pink Floyd Sound"
The Division Bell was the most collaborative album since Wish You Were Here.
Sir Right Wright u one hell of guy ! RiP, and we will always love ❤️ u.
Beautiful tribute,thank you very much.
This is great, I just wish this covered my favorite PF album “Wish You Were Here” - it was also Richard’s favorite PF album.
Rick Wright era o membro do Pink Floyd que eu mais admirava. O que ele tocava nos teclados era especial e tranquilizador.
Thanks for posting. I miss him every single day.
Great by all means 👌👍💕💫
Couldn't get more free than the studio sides of Ummagumma!
Arnold Layne live was amazing
Totally agree. I watched it over and over…it sounds exactly like the recording, even though Rick sang….what makes it even better is the visual. Actually, I think I’ll watch it right now. How lucky we are that we can do that. 🙌🏼😍😍😍
Thank you for taking us so far.. retrospectives aren't enough..even a gorgeous as this to touch the impact ✨️ you have had on us. Always with want of more..
Beginning of Echoes great eerie sounds taken from Penderecki score for The Saragossa Manuscript movie
Good job!
Mi sono commossa tanto ascoltando questo bellissimo tributo, grazie di cuore caro "nipote" :) ♥
Fantastic video man. You really should have put Any Colour You Like in it though.
Great work nipote
❤❤❤❤
one of my fav musician's time flys by
Years ago i heard a rare and early floyd song but don't know the title. If anyone knows this song,please let me know. It's sung by Rick or Roger and is around 6 minutes long. There's a baroque style pipe organ with a Bach-like melody,upbeat and dreamy. There's also a psychedelic middle 8 guitar solo with dreamy sounds and a theme about a man who reminisces about dancing with his past love. Snippets of lyrics are;"AS WE DANCE "and"STILL WE DANCE ". Thanks
They did play See Emily Play live in 1967. There's a recording of it live at The Golden Circle in Stockholm.
They also performed See Emily Play on BBC Top of the Pops on July 6th 1967.
@@ChrisStokes07 Yep, didn't they do it twice? Mimed tho' so as you say, performed but not played.
@@ChrisStokes07 that was a recording not live thay never played live on that show in the sixties it was all mime thats all the acts
mimed
So much better pianists, who are arrogant, and sure to be able to play like him, so much musicians, sure to be able to play like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, or Hendrix, Chopin, etc...!😂If it's so easy, why there's only shit music today?😂Playing is easy, creating is something different😂 There was only 1 RICK WRIGHT, the sounds of his keyboard, the melodies, his voice, everything is so unique, Pink Floyd died with him, it will never be the same anymore😢😭
Richard was a beloved person!!!
