    This was a work of art in every sense of the phrase. Wow. The direction, the music, the setting.. it's all magic. Pure Pink Floyd magic. I felt like TOTAL shit before the video started and by the end I didn't even know which way was up. Insane.

    Pink Floyd at Pompeii has been described as ‘Gods playing to the Gods’. It is a masterpiece. They were also playing to their legions of fans all around the world, most of whom only got to see them through this film. The film played at midnight in movie theaters all across America, all through the 70s and 80s. Long before TH-cam it was how generations of fans were introduced to them live. Many would go every weekend seeing it dozens and dozens of times, forming small communities of like-minded folks who couldn't get enough of this amazing new avant-garde sound. You're seeing now why they are considered so influential in the evolution of rock and popular music in general.
    Great reaction. Love what you said about them making you think about things that their unique brand of music seems to draw out of you. That is their superpower. Creating an altered and higher state that doesn't necessarily require drugs to get you there.
    Sophisticated, complex, big boy music and lyrics representing a significant next step in the evolution of both the band and rock and roll in general.
    Might want to check out “Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-5” next, studio version first. 👍

      I noticed recently that there's also an earlier live tape of the song - they played it live in Montreux in September '71 - NOT at the Jazz festival (where they had played the year before) but at a festival for modern classical and electronic music, just *before* the Meddle album came out. So that was a show with a different kind of audience than they would normally have at their concerts - but it went over beautifully, they got a standing ovation for Echoes! 😊
      Very interesting tape here of the entire show here (nearly two hours, I think it's from a live radio broadcast). Echoes is the opener: th-cam.com/video/Ft9xfHVeTaM/w-d-xo.html

    • @louise_rose

      Yes, this song really merges bluesy exploration with a deliberate effort to build a clear sonic structure on a large scale...The theme of absence and reaching out for loved ones who may or may not be there, it has that in common with "Shine On" four years later, and I figure this 1971 epic was also a necessary preparation for that other masterpiece.

    Richard Wright with his keys contributed a lot to that spacey sound of Pink Floyd in the earlier days which today is sometimes a little bit overlooked. Listen to "Set the controls..." live on Ummagumma - it really feels like flying around in your spaceship between the sparkling stars, so etherial. No other keyboardist sounded like that. He rather was on the classical and jazzy side - maybe the more straight and rocky style of the later years wasn´t quite his anymore.

    The whole concept of this video is intense, when you think of Pompeii, and what happened there, a whole populace killed by a volcanic eruption. Was this an eulogy? To the impermanence of their lives, or all of our lives, as we go about our days? Unknown. It has always hit a mark of some sort in me, though. Whose echoes? Theirs or our own, at some point in the future?

    Pink Floyd is on a level all their own, their compositions are an Experience, like a Play or a movie. And their live performances were head and shoulders above all the other great bands I grew up listening to in the late 60s and 70s.
    I saw Pink Floyd live twice, one time was "The Wall" world tour in 1980, that Show was the most incredible performance I've ever seen, of any kind, in all my 67 years on this earth!
    "Echoes" is just one of their masterpieces, Dave Gilmour sings the higher harmony in part 1, while Rick Wright sings lower part,... then they switch in part 2,... Gilmour singing the lower harmony and Wright's singing the higher part.

      “Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet,
      And I am you and what I see is me" - Echoes
      @flubblert's response prompting me to expand a bit.
      Having an awareness of the lyrics definitely adds meaning, in particular to the dual vocals. Whenever I listen to this song, I get a heavy impression of that duality. There's a storyline interwoven about recognition of another person, of the ties humans have to each other, in the face of the echoes of history. As the song progresses, we weather through that nightmarish middle part, the shadows of death and of doubt, and find our resurgence in the rebirth of part two, which starts
      "Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes, inciting and inviting me to rise"
      And then ends,
      "...and no one forces down our eyes, and so I throw the windows wide and call to you across the sky"
      I always get a strong sense of two souls, however they might be related, following each other and remaining together across space and time, in different instances of history. In the case of the victims of Mt. Vesuvius, that might look like that classic trope of lovers, or a mother and her baby, holding each other one last time before death inevitably comes. So despite the tragedy of their circumstances, the love that exists between the living is the one consistent theme that, despite the odds, pulses itself awake time and time again throughout the echoes of history, and creating an unbreakable bind that even death ultimately has no power over.

    I first saw this performance, the entire one in fact, over 30 years ago when I happened to see it on laserdisc and decided to buy it and give it a watch. I was a Floyd fan by then but wasn't as familiar with their earlier, pre-Dark Side work, and had never heard of this performance.
    It blew me away and to this day I'm still not sure how to react to it other than damn, this is about as good as it gets in the rock genre. I thought that then and still think so now. Even the Beatles, still my favorite if just barely over Floyd, Zeppelin, Hendrix and the Allman Brothers, couldn't top this.

    It was so cool discovering 'Meddle' when I was 15. I only knew 'Dark Side Of The Moon' by them and had never even heard of 'Meddle' until my sister bought it in 1975, long after it had come out. Back then, long before the internet, you didn't know everything about every band out there like you can now. Most of the kids my age hadn't known about Pink Floyd until 'Dark Side Of The Moon' came out in 73. This song is an entire side of an album! The other side of Meddle has some great stuff too. The album starts off with 'One Of These Days', one of their best, and 'Fearless' is another of their best songs (for my tastes). I can remember learning how to play the verse and main riff of 'Echoes' on the guitar back then, loved playing that on my no-name guitar and cheap Wards amp. This album was a big turning point for them, even though it wasn't a big commercial success. Like someone mentioned, they showed 'Live At Pompeii' at theaters back in the late 70's, I remember seeing it. They used to show rock and roll movies at some theaters later at night. Me and my buddies would go and sneak beers in with us. :) Saw that movie, a Jimi Hendrix documentary (fantastic stuff), The Stones 'GImme Shelter', Zeppelin's ' The Song Remains The Same', a few others.

    Imho the 4 genius Floyds wrote with echoes the greatest piece of art ever... Even a portal for a journey to yourself, its like a high magic connection to the secrets of life, as you said, life changing potential, watch it again and again you will find evertime something new besides inner peace

    When I was young back in the 70s before I got married and had a family, some friends and I used to have a smoke and listen to this in a room with the lights out and we were transported to another world through this incredible music. Those were the days man ✌️🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸

    One of the greatest musical events ever by anyone, such a great and out of the box concept from 1972. Those bands you mentioned had similar incredible concerts that conjure up an intensity very few can match. This song is also legendary on the original Meddle album and closed many a Saturday Night party back in the 70s. You can also see the last time it was played in concert when David Gilmour had Richard Wright in his touring band for the On An Island Tour and they did that album plus a large set of Pink Floyd Clasics, including Echoes in Gdansk, Poland in the shipyards where the 1980s freedom movement to raise the Iron Curtain in the Communist Dictatorship started. So the concert was poignant on several levels and they did a 26 minute Echoes that was magnificent. Check it out, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

    Initially didn't know what to expect from "Drummer Reacts," but have been loving your knowledgeable commentary. Don't worry about age 30 coming round, it's 60, 70, and beyond that are scary. Despite all that's wrong in the world, be happy for living today--life expectancy at birth probably averaged only ten years for most of human history!

    I find that slow horizontal dolly shot around the speakers really creepy for some reason. It's like Kubrick shot this. I really like the "funky" part of the song. It probably goes for about 5 minutes and it's just one chord, but I never get tired of it.

    Brilliant. Hope you get to treat yourself to the Original Studio Version of ‘Echoes’ too. From the 1971 Album, ‘Meddle’.
    ‘Echoes’ was my first listen to Pink Floyd, in that very year, 1971. I was 15. It’s one of my all time favourite pieces of music.
    David Gilmour of course, returned to this Pompeii Amphitheatre, in 2016. I sent you a link for ‘Comfortably Numb’, from that incredible Show, in your ‘Comfortably Numb’ Video, from a few days ago.

    I personally believe that Meddle is Pink Floyd's most intimate album. Such an incredibly emotional selection of songs. I remember my friend getting the album, and encouraging me to listen to it, but I had no interest. Then one day...BOOM! I dove into this incredible journey of the mind, heart, soul, and psyche. Ever since, this has been my favorite PF album. Haven't seen Pompeii in a while. Thank you for taking Curabell's request!! And congrats on the 10K subs!!! Breathe in what life is sending you...

    Not only did they have to get permission to do this, I'm sure there was "red tape", but when the equipment crews got there....no electric outlets. I think they had to use a trunk power line that ran across the ground and they had guard the trunk line for the couple of days they filmed.

    "for the spirits who inhabit Pompeii"... nicely said! monster performance and film... proof that you don't need a shirt to play guitar. could you imagine Hackett or Fripp out there, nips exposed to the fresh air. amazing piece of work, as usual thanks for the excuse to revisit, and it adds a lot to see an open-minded and open-eared soul discovering it. btw, the YT channel/dude Polyphonic did a really nice short film on this song. worth checking out.

    Congrats on reaching 10k! I heard you say that Echoes was the last PF request you've received. Not sure if you meant Patreon or not but I am here to tell you that you have merely scratched the surface with PF. So many masterpieces to go! You listened to a bit of Dark Side of the Moon-the album is one of the most iconic albums ever made for a reason-every bit of it is genius. Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall-all masterpieces. I can't recommend them enough. You might have heard the songs from these albums already but in case you haven't-there is so much more to go!

    Maybe I subconsciously heard the singles “Arnold Layne” or “See Emily Play” on the radio, but I only really noticed PF with this concert film, which was confusing to me as a teenager at the time, but also fascinating, including the setting and landscape (visited it later). “Dark Side” came out a little later and from then on it happened to me.
    The volcano Vesuv near Naples erupted in 79 AD and buried Pompeii.
