You know that if you're going to play early Pink Floyd material, I'm going to be here. Roger Waters based this song on a poem, but I can't remember who the author of the poem was. This was featured on their second album, "A Saucerfull of Secrets", which was the first to feature David Gilmour as lead guitarist.
A good reaction. You should try " Careful with that axe, Eugene " from the same concert. When Roger Waters start to scream in the middle of the song, that´s rock history!!
50 years ago they said no-one would be listening to that in 50 years time. Well, I still am and I'm so glad so many others are still discovering it. Timeless.
I saw this performed at Wembley Arena in London and he managed to light a circle of flame around the rim of the great gong, which somehow died away as the music faded. it was unforgettable, and remains my favourite Pink Floyd piece. The 'Satan' you mentioned by the way, is not that, but is the face of the Medusa, from Greek-Roman myth, and its head has been cut off by the warrior Perseus, who is holding it up, with his shield on the other arm. He does not look at that face, or he will be turned to stone! So he pops it into a bag and covers it quickly and uses it to defeat some other monster later.
The greatest live performance dvd ever in my opinion !! If you have never watched it i recommend buying it and watching the directors cut version. Well worth the money and time spent.
Pink Floyd changed my view of music way back in 1973 when I heard Dark Side Of The Moon for the first time. Until then I had only heard AM radio top 40. When David Gilmour played his solo in Time I was hooked! They played this concert, w/o people, in the ruins of Pompeii, that was destroyed by a volcano. The entire concert is amazing! Another great earlier song, that has everything, except lyrics, is Atom Heart Mother Suite!
Good Lord! The perfection of this video (at the time it was made) is simply stunning! And you're right Kali, the drumming captures the magnitude of the pictures they are showing. In point of fact, there is a good video of a Syd Barrett led Pink Floyd performing this song at some venue several years prior.
@@KristinKali You usually do. I can't see why you would think otherwise. Humility is a virtue, yes. However, disrespecting your intelligence is ...well, disrespectful. :)
Used to see them regularly in the late sixties in London. They played at middle earth and various colleges. Favorite was the Crystal Palace garden party in 71 I think. They played Echoes for the first time and I seem to remember a thunderstorm. I think Mountain also played. Check out the garden party site for recordings and photos . There is a lake in front of the stage which had inflatables hidden. A lot of people ended up in the lake. Also first time hearing Its all too much by the beatles. Totally fitting for the occasion
Hola hermosa - Yeah that's a wild and hypnotic ride. The drum beats from Nick Mason are trance like and tribal - of course you picked up on that and the music and melody has a heavy middle eastern influence. If you like this one you might also like 2000 Light Years from home by the Rolling Stones. It isn't as epic a composition as this piece but it is a good example of psychedelic / space rock. Hope you and the fam are all doing well. Been catching up on your videos but haven't had the chance to leave a comment in a while. Much love
Although this was included in the Live in Pompeii film this here was actually filmed/recorded on a soundstage in France and then added to the Pompeii film. One of the clues is all the studio lights behind the them here. At Pompeii they did not have all those lighting rigs nor the extra a/c power to spare that they would have required.
Pink Floyd is one of the greatest rock bands of our time keep listening to more Floyd and you'll understand them better a cool song to listen to and I think you'll dig it it's called The Nile song enjoy it
Pompeii was an Italian city that was covered by ashes and lava from an eruption of the vulcano Vesuvius in the year 79. At the end of the 16th century remains of the city were discovered. Pompeii is on the Lists of World Heritage Sites.
The excavation of Pompeii (and Herculaneum, which suffered the same fate) was a pivotal time in European culture. The discoveries were followed closely and kickstarted the Neo-Classical period in Art and Architecture which dominated European culture until about the middle of the 19th century. Herculaneum and Pompeii are of the utmost importance in the cultural development of the West.
This is Syd Barret's Pink Floyd.Syd was a singular personality in the 67 scene in London.He embodied the sound of this because his goal in life seemed to be to go beyond mundane reality in his imagination,with the help of psychedelic drugs.He did just this and went down the rabbit hole with Alice,that is flipped out.he could not function after that and had to leave the band.Comfortably Numb and shine on you crazy diamond were both about him.
The full movie "Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii" is available on Hulu. British progressive rock in the ruins of a 2,000 year old city! Quite a bit of interview time in the movie as well......check it out if you get the chance!
With this song, I always think of Rush's "Cygnus X-1" from "A Farewell to Kings" which is a prelude to the album "Hemispheres." In fact, I heard the latter before ever hearing Pink Floyd's early material. However, I like to imagine a link. A hand-off from one Prog band to another.
A great performance by all, but I would single out Nick Mason as being totally "in the zone" with his performance on drums. I believe that this was one of his personal favourite pieces.
Read about the fate of Pompeii , A Roman city covered with lava and ash over night preserving all including the people cased in lava, PFs visit there inspired them .. The murals and statues are very much preserved , A human city frozen in time,
You would probably like the whole film which this was, Probably only in an art cinema, But it has some conversation with the PF which is worth hearing, If not film library and head phones, I saw it in a cinema at that time and it was **** ++
They use Pompeii as the backdrop, people who were covered in lava and the murals; Roman gods were of course the Greek gods with a different name. But it sounds middle-eastern to me too, so Cleopatra was not that far of I think. Would also be a good nickname for you: Cleopatra.
I really respect the early Roger Waters/Syd Barrett work of Pink Floyd but it can get a little too far "ou there" for me haha. When David Gilmour joined, to kinda take over for Syd who was no longer functional on stage because of his LSD and mental issues, the potential was incredible. But, Syd continued to slide and it became a sad story for him. Roger Waters was afraid to fly, which was mentioned in the lyrics of many Pink Floyd songs, along with losing his father in the war (loss and war being major topics of his lyrics throughout the years, which got to a point where it annoyed the other band members). The Pink Floyd story is VERY interesting. There is an 80 minute documentary that sums of the issues/story-line really well. TH-cam link is: th-cam.com/video/HxCFla0bXlg/w-d-xo.html
👊❤️😳🗣ByrneZ... swear you are the “Cheat Sheets” for me on TH-cam! 😂😀 what would I do without you? You can see the struggle I have with #GeniusMusic is very nerve racking for me... but familiar? And ByrneZ and a few kind others give me these gems to arm myself! Thankyou! Thankyou! 🥰

Probably either Xanadu Kubla Khan or Yates walk softly because you are upon my dreams
Ronald! I am so glad you are here for it!! this was a masterful body of work! and THANKYOU for telling me what you know! :)
I Ching I think. One song that Syd Barret wrote also was derived from I-Ching.
A good reaction. You should try " Careful with that axe, Eugene " from the same concert. When Roger Waters start to scream in the middle of the song, that´s rock history!!
Check out Echoes live at the Gdansk concert.
Pink Floyd is like listening to a sci-fi opera every time. And you never know when, or if, it will end.
Texadan!!! you are spot on!! (per usual) :)

@@KristinKali No. The Directors cut is inferior. Watch the original concert film in the features section.

Pompei Is in ITALY .
That’s why they were the best!!
This is pink Floyd's love song

I am glad you enjoyed that Kristin, it is an amazing version, you should listen to all the tracks from Live at Pompeii, it's a great experience.
Pink Floyd , la mejor banda de todos los tiempos , saludos desde Chile .

👊❤️🥰🗣Thankyou Hermoso!! So good to see you! And yes... as per usual.. I was blown away by Pink Floyd! They are outta this world!
The sun is freaking me out it looks like it's wrapped in a big old girder belt I'm about to spaz out
Like they say you don't need weed to enjoy Pink Floyd, you need Pink Floyd to enjoy weed 😉 😏
OMG pure art.
Remember one more. " one of this days " live from Pulse `94. Enjoy!

This was Pink Floyd at their absolute apex as a band.
Ummagumma was their best LP, for me. Space Rock/Progressive music.

Steven!! of course you would give a very insightful comment...Thankyou... I am glad to see you... please stay safe
A great performance by all, but I would single out Nick Mason as being totally "in the zone" with his performance on drums. I believe that this was one of his personal favourite pieces.
Rightfully so.. a masterpiece in my opinion
Read about the fate of Pompeii , A Roman city covered with lava and ash over night preserving all including the people cased in lava, PFs visit there inspired them .. The murals and statues are very much preserved , A human city frozen in time,
the "Sunshine" movie producers lost a hell of an oportunity to use this song in the movie, given it makes perfect sense to be there.
It is a soundtrack for a movie, that you build with your imagination.
The DRUMS it's Amazing in this Song
You would probably like the whole film which this was, Probably only in an art cinema, But it has some conversation with the PF which is worth hearing, If not film library and head phones, I saw it in a cinema at that time and it was **** ++
4:10 That face in the top left looks to me as a mask that was worn to show different emotions to ancient audiences.
👊❤️😳😳🗣Whoa! Thankyou for that!! I was way out my league for PF!! (Still Am)
Hi Kristin, you haven't done ECHOES yet...
floyd are explaining the fermi paradox
don't worry one day you're controls will be set for the heart the sun let's hoping it's the good plane
pink Floyd and a hot babe what more does the world need ?!
Don’t ever pause ! Listen to whole thing first, please.

That is not the original video, all those space and sun effects are add by someone else, this song is mystical
suggestion, Tangerine Dream , Encore
