Pink Floyd is without a doubt one of the greatest classic rock bands of all time. They began in the 60s with Roger Waters on bass, Nick Mason on drums, Richard Wright on organ and Syd Barrett on lead guitar and vocals. Syd was the band's leader and chief songwriter in the early days, penning their first singles Arnold Layne and See Emily Play. This would lead to the release of their 1967 album Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Their live shows were equally inventive incorporating unique light shows. However due to Syd's intake of LSD mixed with a breakdown involving schizophrenia, he would gradually be pushed out of the band he fronted, being replaced with David Gilmour on guitar. This would become Pink Floyd's classic lineup with Roger taking more of a songwriter role. A Saucerful of Secrets was the only album to feature all five band members. More came out in 1969. Pink Floyd was still finding their voice, focusing more on albums rather than singles. It was on Ummagumma where concert versions of Astronomy Domine, Careful with that Axe Eugene, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and Saucerful evolved their sound. The studio disc contained experimental tracks. The album sold well proving there was life for Pink Floyd after Syd. In 1970, Atom Heart Mother proved to be a success with the 23 minute instrumental suite orchestrated by Ron Geesin. 1971's Meddle would turn out to be an important staple for the band with the rocking opener One of these Days I'm Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces, featuring a rare spoken vocal by Nick, Roger's echoing bass line and Dave's Slide Guitar. The flip side, another 23 minute piece, Echoes, featuring Dave and Rick on vocals, is often regarded as Progressive Rock's finest moment, from the opening ping of Rick's leslie piano. They would also perform both these songs along with earlier classics Live at Pompeii. The Obscured by Clouds soundtrack appeared in 1972 with tracks like Burning Bridges and Free Four. However 1973's Dark Side of the Moon would become one of the most successful albums of all time, staying on the charts for nearly 13 years and still a best seller today. Roger's lyrics dealt with the evils of society driving one to madness, while the music was nearly one entire inter-connected piece (making it difficult to separate for a playlist or a best of / greatest hits compilation). Still standouts like Money, Time and Great Gig in the Sky are favorites among fans. Their 1975 followup Wish You Were Here, featuring the opening and closing piece Shine On You Crazy Diamond (a tribute to Syd Barrett who even showed up at the sessions), is thought to be equally great, if not greater, as Dark Side. But tensions between the band were beginning to rear their head. 1977 saw the release of Animals, likening three animals: Dogs, Sheep and Pigs to various classes of society. Roger became the band's main frontman and sole songwriter with Dave occasionally sharing the mic and writing credits. Tensions grew during the tour when Roger ended up spitting on a fan in Montreal and coming up with the idea for The Wall to separate himself from the audience. 1979 would see the release of The Wall, the album and later the tour and film. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 became their best selling single and Comfortably Numb remains one of their most popular tunes. But it nearly broke up the band as Roger fired Rick for lack of output, creating a greater rift between him and Dave. 1983's The Final Cut was Roger's final album with Pink Floyd before he officially left, leaving Dave and Nick to reunite with Rick for 1987's Momentary Lapse of Reason. Roger sued to break up the band, but failed to do so instead focusing on his solo career. The Gilmour led Floyd would produce 1994's The Division Bell, a return to form for many fans with Rick now sharing vocal and songwriting duties again. It wasn't until 2005's Live 8 concert when Dave, Nick and Rick reunited with Roger for a short set giving closure for many fans. Syd died in 2006. Rick died in 2008. The album The Endless River was dedicated in his honor. Pink Floyd's legacy has continued to inspire fans and aspiring musicians, myself included.
I would say that Echoes is the song where David Gilmour finally comes into his own as a guitarist. We've seen hints of it on Atom Heart Mother, but on Echoes we see the first time when he paints landscapes with his solos.
That would be The Narrow Way from 1969's UMMAGUMMA.
@@bobbybishop368 I disagree. While certainly a good song, especially considering the rest of the album it was on, it's not really that outstanding from a guitar point of view. I don't even think the song has any solos on it.
@@CristiNeagu agree to disagree. I've been listening to early Floyd for over 40 years now and I'll stand by my comment . The outro solo on part 3 paints a spectacular landscape.
Yep! He sounds like he's finally off the leash
@@CristiNeaguthe best part of the narrow way IMO is just as the song is beginning to fade out. In the last minute of the song Gilmour throws in some low gutteral blues licks that really are a small indication of what he would soon blossom into.
Listen closely to the last minute of the song, it's there. : )
Do you like Pink Floyd?
Their early work was a little too psychedelic for my taste. But when Meddle came out in '71, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. They've been compared to King Crimson, but I think Floyd has a far more lighter sense of humor. In '73, Pink Floyd released this; Dark Side of The Moon, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Brain Damage/ Eclipse ". Two songs so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about someone losing their mind and feeling small in the scope of the universe. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.
Hey, Paul!
Careful with that axe, Patrick
Try getting a reservation at Pompeii now, you crazy diamond bastard!!!
Well Celestial Voices will be played at my Funeral.
@@bderrick4944 You stole my comment! 😂
The best non “golden era” Pink Floyd album, it’s great, One of these days is such an ominous opener and Fearless is soooooo good and definitely underrated! Echoes ofc gets all the love as it rightfully should too
Fearless may be the most underrated gem in the entire Floyd catalog.
This began the Golden Era!
That ascending riff in Fearless that feels like its decending is one of the best things I've ever heard.
Love that song too!!
(One of these days)
Echoes literally saved my life, the arpeggio at 18:14-18:44 is the best piece I have ever heard
Yes amazing. Sounds like angels descending from heaven and forms the perfect entry point back into the verse. The greatest piece of music ever written.
That section gives me frisson every time I hear it, no matter how many times I've heard it.
Obscured by the Clouds is so underrated. I love it. Free Four is one of the best songs they’ve ever done.
And David’s solo on Stay. Great album.
“OBC” is very underrated, I agree. Song many great songs. “Wots, Uh The Deal” in particular is absolutely fantastic. Beautiful even.
Echoes is a song that basically encapsulates existence as a whole; it all starts in a vast darkness, with literally no sense of direction or purpose. But eventually, all it takes is one simple anomaly to completely break through and become much more than what it was expected to be.
It's Pink Floyd's Bohemian Rhapsody.
Love Guy Pratt. He’s essentially an official member of Pink Floyd, taking Rogers place as bassist. He’s been their touring bassist and sometimes vocalist since 1988, and is the bassist on the Division Bell.
He also plays in Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets.
And more hé has NO ego prob !!!!
“One Of These Days” sounds to me like a violent thunderstorm all through the night with nothing but destruction and then “A Pillow If Winds” is a new day with the sun finally breaking through the clouds indicating that the terrifying night is over. Very peaceful morning.
Now we're finally into the golden age, even though I would personally consider Atom Heart Mother to be the start. It's fascinating to see the progression from Ummagumma to Atom Heart Mother to Meddle. Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother both had the individual members writing their own material, while Atom Heart Mother and Meddle both have 23 minute long songs taking up an entire side of the record. And during this sequence of albums, they would refine their sound and become more cohesive as a band. Even though they're still experimenting with sounds like on Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother (with Seamus being the most "UmmaMother" sounding piece), it's obvious that Pink Floyd is maturing. The jams on Meddle are incredible. Even on a laidback song like San Tropez, there's still that awesome jazzy piano jam from Rick. It's rare for a Pink Floyd song to have such a relaxed and upbeat feel, and that's what makes San Tropez one of my favorite songs in their catalog. And I haven't even gotten to the big one yet. Echoes is a masterpiece, plain and simple. The 23 minute epic proves that Pink Floyd could carry on and then some, even without Syd Barrett. The build up, the iconic descending riff, the thought provoking lyrics, the funky jam, the scary as hell whale sounds, the return, all of it is incredible. It deserves to be in anyone's list of top ten Pink Floyd songs (or top ten classic rock songs in general!).
Overall, I'm not sure if I'm a bigger fan of Atom Heart Mother or Meddle. I would give both albums a gold fish, but picking the superior one is tough for me. While Echoes is the superior 23 minute track, I prefer the other songs on Atom Heart Mother over the ones on Meddle. Summer '68 in particular is amazing and also in my top ten Pink Floyd songs. I'll call it a toss up for now, but I love both albums and this is when Pink Floyd really got good and proved themselves to be an amazing band. The entire decade of the 70's for Pink Floyd might be the best streak of albums for any classic rock artist. From Atom Heart Mother to The Wall and every album in between, all of them are incredible in my eyes.
Do you also plan to cover Relics, their compilation album? There's an exclusive song on that album called Biding My Time, and that's another one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. I love how jazzy it is, while still having an essential Pink Floyd jam to it with a killer horn section. Either way, I can't wait for your video on Obscured by Clouds, which is definitely one of their most underrated albums.
On relics, my favorite is Julia dream :)
Biding my time is brilliant and was going to be on Meddle. Julia dream is also great song but the band always hated it
Meddle is a top 3 favorite Pink Floyd album for me and never tire of it.
Hell yeah man Meddle is Top 3 its condense, betufal albums with the expermention of theere mire lived albums and pchydelicness of the early early work of them hell if this is some one's favorite Floyd Album i can totalily See why
Echoes and One Of These Days are perfect, the rest(Fearless, Pillow Of Winds, Seamus) are also great.
I LOVE THIS RECORD
Just picked this album up at a record store in Longmont, Colorado called Vinyl Cafe for $23. Condition is VG and Tony, who was working the shop let me play it before purchasing. No skips and the vinyl is really clean. I ended up buying 15 albums for $139. Great albums by The Kinks, UFO, The Cult, 5th Dimension, Hugh Masakela, Ahmad Jamal, Lynyrd Skynryd. This place is a goldmine of great value!
We climbed the side of a mountain in the middle of our city one day all on LSD, laid down under a tree, looked out at the city and listened to Floyd all day, including Meddle. Wonderful experience, can confirm!
Giving Meddle a goldfish. The first album in classic era for a reason
Standouts: Echoes, One Of These Days, Pillow Of Winds, Fearless, San Tropez
you forgot seamus
@@soulofglebb Seamus was the song I listened to the most in 2021, according to Spotify... lol
@@soulofglebb (that’s the dog)
I’ve listened to Echoes literally thousands of times, so I can completely relate to your getting wrapped up in it! I really enjoyed your take on the song, and your passion for this music really shines through!
The cover is a photo of a hippopotamus' ear underwater! The football crowd chant was recorded at Anfield, Liverpool's stadium, and The Kop Choir (The Kop was the end of the stadium for home fans) even released a couple of albums of recordings of the songs the crowd regularly sang at games.
Without Meddle, there won't be Dark Side of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, and other future Floyd albums. My favorite tracks are Echoes, One of These Days, A Pillow of clouds, and Fearless.
A Pillow of Clouds? 🤔
There's a video on TH-cam that syncs Echoes with the final 20 minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey and it's EXACTLY as amazing as it sounds! It's a video that everyone NEEDS to see!
It was this album....the moment I fell in love with the band.
Me too!
A Pillow of Winds has been my morning alarm for years. Best way to wake up.
this album on 8 track in a car at night while on acid was like riding a speedboat into the solar system. the only way to track time being the music itself. ah, youth.
Echoes is my favourite piece of music of all time
Valid
One thing I've never heard mentioned is the lick Gilmour repeats as you are coming back into the 2nd main part of Echoes. It's incredible. It may be one of the best, most majestic guitar licks in the history of rock.
I never understood why Echoes was never mentioned in the "best guitar solos" group that inevitably goes to Comfortably Numb.
This one's up next in my Floyd discography tour. Excited to hear it after the last two haha.
Meddle is personally my favorite album by Pink Floyd and one of my favorite albums of all time
my favorite track on Meddle is "One of These Days", but other favorites would be "Fearless", "San Tropez", and "Echoes"
To be fair its a bangin album and i do agree its a top 3 Pink Floyd
This was the start of a new era for Pink Floyd and after this every album turned to gold.
I love this album with all my heart and soul. The album that makes me really love Pink Floyd.
Echoes is my favorite Floyd song, my Quadraphonic version ripped from the early years never gets put away, and since I found and ripped the 5.1 Meddle hidden in the early years also..
This is the album where Pink Floyd went on a set direction and it’s definitely my all time favorite album by them.
Fair its does slap and i would argue its a top 3 Pink Floyd Album
I've always considered Meddle as highly under-appreciated by the world... If nothing else (and it's really EVERYTHING ELSE!), it gave a beautiful insight into the breadth of Pink Floyd. I know, that I've played San Tropez and Pillow of Winds to people, and they've had NO IDEA it was Pink Floyd performing... in which lies its intrigue and elegance. Cheers!
Not enough can be said about how magical that song is. I can't believe that people don't like the "experimental part!". my favourite version is live at Gdansk. Sadly, the last ever live performance before Rick died.
I agree about the Live in Poland album(Pink Floyd was ALWAYS popular in Europe - and the USSR, too); the little piano and guitar call and response, right before the tune swirls to the close - with the echoed piano "Ping" - is poignant.
MEDDLE Is one of my favorite Albums, Been a Fan since I was 9 yrs old, with Syd 1967.😊❤
Fearless is the song that got me into Pink Floyd :)
Same for me. Dark Side as an album was always played everywhere, but Fearless was the song which caught my attention at the start for me.

My favourite pink floyd album meddle ❤
I honestly like the Pompeii rendition of Echoes a lot more. Then again, that whole PF concert is just an obe
Stay tuned…
@@JTCurtisMusic You going to be doing Floyd in Pompeii?? Now we’re sucking diesel!!
Something tells me you wont be disappointed with the next video.....
The same goes to One of These Days.
Recently finished my collection of all Pink Floyd golden era records. Thinking I might try for Meddle next. Echoes is an awesome song
echoes on acid is indeed very awesome
Atom Heart Mother, side one on acid is amazing!
Incredible piece of magic. My favorite. Great vid, cheers.
Awesome comments. Love Meddle
I regard Meddle as my favourite Pink Floyd album. It contains three of my favourite songs, One of These Days, Fearless, and Echoes. I was late in discovering the band and it was The Wall which opened those doors and I immediately went back and bought their earlier albums. I have to admit that I've outgrown the relentless pessimism that pretty much defined the band from Dark Side to The Wall and I've grown to appreciate that period in their history when they were experimenting with various sounds as they were looking for an identity after Syd Barrett left. It's very hit and miss but there are many gems to be found and they recorded some of their most beautiful songs. I like to call this their "psychedelic folk" era and it was not yet the sounding board for Roger Waters ' neuroses and hang ups that it would become. This was music for the mind and Echoes paints these phantasmagorical images that can be interpreted many ways. I agree that Seamus is the weakest track but it could have been worse and they included Mademoiselle Knobs instead, which I'd nominate as being among their worst recordings and can only be found on the Pompeii film. But if you play the albums in chronological order you can see that evolution that blossomed with Meddle. I am a fierce defender of this albums of the late 50's to about '71 or '72 with the release of Obscured By Clouds. They take a lot bashing, frequently by the band themselves, but I prefer them over the relentlessly grim albums later on.
Enjoyed this thorough analysis of what is now my second favorite Pink Floyd album, after 'Wish You Were Here' (I should note that I'm not a particular Pink Floyd fan, though I acknowledge their importance, influence, and undeniable artistry). Despite the epic scope and avant-garde wizardry of "Echoes", I'm especially impressed with "One of These Days" (almost heavy metal in its power) and also especially appreciate "Fearless" (even "Seamus", which I agree is the album's weakest track, has a charm of its own).
There is an interesting animated short from 1972, called 'French Windows' (directed by Ian Emes), which uses "One of These Days" as its soundtrack. It's a haunting film, and is a noteworthy precursor to the music-video genre that started to develop later in the decade.
I wasn't doing anything one day so I decided to go on a walk in the woods and listen to this album, It was my first listen and it felt so amazing, especially when echoes came on.
It’s one of my favourite Floyd albums - restful (in the main), inventive, and as just about everyone says, the start of Pink Floyd’s classic period. It’s a very cohesive album.
Fearless was the song off Meddle that blew me away as a young kid. I disagree about Dave's voice on it; I think it's one of his most beautifully sung songs.
And NEVER understood why Echoes isn't mentioned in the group of "best David Gilmour guitar solos" songs!
The Live at Pompeii ( early 70's ) version is mindblowing !
I heard San Tropez once as elevator music... except it wasn't elevator music. It was the ACTUAL track. All I could think was, "Cool!" and then, "I'm getting old."
Great work. I absolutely love this album.
Echoes is utterly amazing, As for Pompeii it's genius, I could never tire watching it.
The law states that once you start to listen to Echoes you aren't allowed to stop until you've finished the entire track. :)
If your copy is all scratched up I highly recommend the reissue,it’s quiet vinyl and it sounds great. I have a first press of meddle and the reissue gets close👍
I will never forget that night in 1978 when it was me, a good set of headphones, the tail end of a really great inner journey and Echoes. It has been a musical touchstone, a happy place for me ever since.
Nice review, thank you. Meddle is one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums. However, I may one of the few fans who prefers side one. Echoes is indeed a great song signaling what Floyd would become in later albums,but the tracks on side one, often criticized for being a loosely connected pile of throwaways by some, shows a range and diversity of style rarely seen from Floyd. One of these days absolutely rocks, Pillow of winds makes me think of the early days after meeting my wife, Fearless has some of my favorite lyrics and is my favorite song to play along with (once I learned the open tuning), San tropez is a great unexpected blues tune, and Seamus is hilarious. I could only aspire to write any one of these songs, and listening to them makes me happy.
Thankyou for your great analysis. I love meddle. It is my favourite.
Can’t wait
The household objects thing was in 1975 and the elements they did make were worked into the intro to shine on you. Crazy diamond.
Actually they tried the Household Objects idea a couple times - Before Meddle and revisited it before Wish You Were Here.
My favourite album meddle
Nice review of a great album. One morning, i was 10 years old, my dad drove me and some classmates to school. It was winter, so it was still dark outside. Meddle was playing on cassette. We where still sleepy and didn´t payed much attention to the music. When the creepy part of Echoes started, my dad turned up the volume and said "beware, the witches are comming". We kids got pretty scared. My dad just laughed.
Dude you are spot on with your reviews
For me "A Pillow of Winds" is one of the greatest things Pink Floyd ever did. Such a perfect song.
In the "greatest year in rock history"-1971- Meddle kind of got lost in the tremendous avalanche of incredible albums that year.
Released 11-11-71.
Thanks for pronouncing Astronomy Domine correctly!
Greetings everyone from the Dark Side of the Moon. Syd's up here too and he says Hello.
What makes Pink Floyd ahead of its time was its ability to take the Opposite ends of the musical spectrum around at that time (blues rock and jazz) and fuse them into a genre all its own and this can especially be heard on Meddle. A modern example of this would be BabyMetal with the fusion of pop music and metal. Bob Marley gave Caribbean/Latin/African rythmes a folk music sound. Then there’s Santana rock-Latin fusion
Very hyped for obscured by clouds their absolute most underrated album
great vid as always JT
I think I made a pretty good playlist, which I call "Childhood's End" after the Obscured By Clouds track, that serves as a good way to hear elements Pink Floyd were showing over the three albums before Dark Side of the Moon of just where they were going. Echoes was absolutely a big part, but they had already developed a pretty good toolbox.

It's difficult to choose, with so much great work to narrow down from, but I would put Echoes as my favorite Pink Floyd track. Not a perfect track, not part of a perfect album: Dark Side or Wish You Were Here. But a track that has pulled me out of the depths of the black dog ever since I was a teenager. Dark room, perfect stereo, lying the wrong way round on a bed with legs up against the wall. Transcendental.The 'whale song' section is crucial to the whole track as it gives room for the finale.
This is my 4th favourite album from Pink Floyd, I love the into of One of these days, San Tropez is another one of my favourites and of course Echoes (which I consider to be my favourite song behind Shine on you crazy diamond (Pts. 1-9) )
Am I the only person who genuinely loves Seamus? The lilting piano and guitar with the harmonica paints a beautiful picture of lazily relaxing in a hammock watching the sunset in the country. The only thing wrong with it is that its not long enough. And people put this track on par with the McCartney's Wild Honey Pie...
One Of These Days is my (second) favorite piece off Meddle. It opens up Space Odyssey so well, really sets the overall tone of the film once youve seen it already. And when it cuts to Pillow -- you're excited about your next two hours.
Echoes merece la creación y otorgamiento del Premio Nobel de la Música. Sobre todo la versión del recital en Gdansk, creo que en 2006.
My friends sister had the LP in ‘72. We’d steal it as it’s still my favorite PF album. That one section in Echoes still scares me 😮. I remember hearing it at 10 and thinking that must be what a bad trip sounds/feels like.
Dude, I’m loving these videos. I think you should definitely do something about Steve Marriott. The small faces and Humble Pie were absolutely incredible and overlooked
Echoes is where they became Pink Floyd.
Great reviews thus far. I’m in agreement with about most everything you’ve said. Pink Floyd is my favorite band but yes most of their early work post Syd is not worth listening to up until Atom Heart Mother and even that one is inconsistent quality. Meddle is when they achieved a high level of greatness that they maintained for years.
Love Echoes, it does take you somewhere, no acid needed. Seems like the past around 79 AD !
Fantastic video
I was definitely looking forward to this review! Awesome analysis!
the doctor who bit!
JT, I doubt you'll see this, but please know, we floyd superfans thank you for producing this niche content for us. We love it, and please keep it up!
Maybe I'm crazy, bit I find their first five albums their most creative, direction less can produce beautiful things!
one thing that's interesting about Meddle... if you ask a person from the UK what the cover is, they say AN EAR... in the US, the pressing process here had problems with the colors on the cover. so it came our as a bland blue... and the instability of the ink and tendency to fade in weeks... left it impossible to really see
One If These Days is the greatest Floyd opener for me. If you can lure me in with an opener like One Of These Days I am sold right away. I can go on about this track and how much it has stuck with me since I first heard it. May be the Floyd song that got the fandom running. I still remember the first time I heard it well over 35 years ago stealing my brothers Meddle cassette tape intrigued by the cover. Never been the same since even though my bro beat the crap out of me for stealing it. Well worth the beating
Nothing needs to be said about Echos which has never been said. What a masterpiece.
Entire album is tight. Agree with pretty much your entire review. Love this album so much.
Oh and it’s my go to Nick Mason album. Nick never gets enough love.
Used to Listen to the album in 1972 a great album I am 69 years old and still listen to the album with all of the Pink Floyd albums
Side one is just the warm up band for side two.
"Hooray I awake from yesterday, alive but the war is here to stay..." - Hendrix: "1983, a merman I should to be."
Yes, Pink Floyd based Echoes on the melodies and the structure of that classic Hendrix song. Listen and compare.
I have to agree on the GoldFish! This album is truly a phenomenal to listen to but however, the last 2 songs before Echoes aren’t quite as strong and interested! But regardless, no doubt that Echoes is a brilliant masterpiece, also One of These Days is a true epic rock n’ roll instrumental! As well as A Pillow of Wind and Fearless.
Y'know. After you get these done, i think you should do a king crimson listing
This is personaly my ravorite Floyd album, it's not their best but is the one i come back to the most.
By the way, if you ever get a chance to listen to the quad mix of echoes give It a go, it's very 70's and little gimmicky but it's also really good. You can find It at a reasonable price in one of the individual releases of the Early years set
Atom Heart Mother is a fantastic album. I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan; I think that David and Rick just locked together. Echoes, Fearless and One of These Days are the heart of the record. Meddle is out of balance but Echoes really made the album.
A pillow of winds is much better than dear prudence. Your reviews are cool and I wonder why they did you’ll never walk alone. Roger is an Arsenal supporter
"one of these days I'm gonna turn you into a little pizza" - Nick Mason
After listening to meddle for the first time. I want to get a vinyl copy of it
I was lucky to find one a while ago, I have not seen it in any record stores recently, good luck finding one, and I do want to say One Of These Days is awesome on vinyl, but I do have a scratch on the wind.
I found a original vinyl album of Meddle at a Lifeline store about six months ago, it cost me one dollar.
I gave it to my friend who is a big Pink Floyd fan.
@@billyjoechambers8494 one dollar! That’s cheap as crap! What currency because that could be more than I’m thinking.
Those echoing whale sounds always reminded me something you might hear on a dark and foggy night on the Scottish moors. To me, they are haunting. I'm not sure I'd like to roll with them on a heavy acid trip. That sound setting would be more than a bit freaky.
I am a big Football (Soccer) fan and my favorite team is Liverpool and I love Fearless because of that, You'll Never Walk Alone is the best anthem in Football, so it works so good with Pink Floyd music, tho Roger is a Arsenal fan, a rival of Liverpool, I love the version of Nick Mason too, amazing song 👍
My wife's favorite pink floyd album. Other then piper
My favorite Pink Floyd album.
pillow of winds and fearless are possibly my favorite Floyd songs.
Shrooms and live at Pompeii literally puts you at the center of the Universe. I’m not lying, everything Grateful Dead should have been.
I admit I never tried watching it on Shrooms. Last time I tripped, we were listening to Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life - which was still amazing.
