+Ethan Olson This was the song that Meddle really needed to be considered one of the greats, up there with Animals and WYWH (not quite the Wall or DSTM maybe).
I have to disagree on that point. Their old label, Harvest Records, put out a compilation in 1970, Picnic - A Breath of Fresh Air, and the short version was included on it. From there, the song grew into this 10-plus minute-long beast live. It's a shame they never revisited it in this form. Then again, with enough live recordings of it floating around, perhaps its better off this way. It IS a shame this song faded into history, eclipsed by later works, if you'll pardon both puns.
eso la convierte en una rareza, en parte del mito! una pieza digna de ser considerada "obra maestra" pero solo queda en el relato de los que lo vivieron o lo pudieron documentar! Legendaria banda Pink Floyd!

Thanks for putting Embryo on U-Tube - what memories - I travelled to London to see the Floyd in concert in 1971. They finished the set with Embryo. They liked the special effects even in those days. It was dark, and there was a large pond in front of the stage, dry ice was thrown in, stobes were put onto the water, and a huge octopus emerged, very slowly, while they played Embryo. Absolutely stunning - I went out and bought the "Works" compilation the very next day!.
WTF ar u kiddig me right now!!!??? people must have been losing their minds, an octopus?!? its stories like that which make me want to just throw my hands up in the air. I know the past wasn't perfect but oh what amazing live music I missed. Please let me know if there are any other details you can recall, just an incredible story.
YES! Who woulda "thunk" it? A collector of very fine Automobiles, that He has no qualm about racing, himself-! A Pilot of Airplanes as well as amazing helicopters- (He also taught His Wife and Son to fly! They have their Pilot licenses as well! ) And a cool breeze Person all the way around- I am consistently impressed....
1971 was the year that Pink Floyd peaked for me, absolute legendary tracks came out from that period, including all of the BBC recordings of which changed my life. thanks for posting!
I've read that the original 1968 studio recording was slated for inclusion on the studio half of Ummagumma but was left off as it was deemed not to mesh well with the rest of the material.
In 1970 Their Record label `HARVEST RECORDS ,It was a shorter 4 & a half minute version from ` PICNIC, A BREATH OF FRESH AIR 'ALSO it's on A compilation- WORKS from 1980,I still have my original cassette I bought back then ROCK ON FLOYDIANS, PEACE✌🎶🎵🎼🙂💜❣
I don't often comment about videos but this is absolute MAGIC, I would love to own this. I'm a huge fan of Pink Floyd and I never get sick of hearing them no matter how much I play them. They are TIMELESS

This song reminds me of the first trip listening to The Floyd in my mate John's place. The music was coming from every part of the house, it was like being connected directly to the band, no separation just sound flowing into the depths of our endless consciousness.
I had a double bootleg album of these BBC recordings called the Floyd's of London. Unfortunately all the tapes I made and the albums went by the way side😪😪😪. I wore them out. God how I loved Tripping to them. Thanks for sharing this Treasure with all of us.
Absolutely stunning. I can't believe I'm hearing this for the first time after getting into Floyd 35 years ago. They must have far more brilliant hidden songs that lay unreleased for decades than most other great bands have well known ones. Before the Early Years box set, it must have been a matter of sonic archaeology to dig them up.
they were here on youtube, a lot of them. and a lot of them were removed around 2014-15 when those automatic music uploads were implemented on youtube (the ones that say "Provided to TH-cam by...") Sad because a lot of them were not uploaded after. However there's a lot of ROIO (Recording of Indeterminate Origin) and Bootleg websites where you can even find lossless versions (pink floyd roio, Think Floyd, etc)
@@ParkingLotStudioGames Thanks, I'll have a look around. There's already a lot of amazing Floyd obscurities on TH-cam and it's astonishing to know there are even more out there.
My lord I cant believe that people who say they are FLOYDIANS say they have never heard this SONG before? I was partying to this when I was a YOUNG teenager, but first heard it when I was about 6 or 7 my 16 year old uncle had it
ouah !!!!le summum du psychadelisme!!!!!aucun autre groupe ne peux nous transporter ainsi dans une autr e dimension!!!!!!50 ans apres et toujours inegalable et inegale!!!!!intemporel et tout simplement magique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Badass. Now if the ultimate Pink Floyd fan 1967-1972 approves of this, I can add another song to the playlist for Clarice the Pink Floyd loving feral cat 😺🐈 I'm going to have to search more Pink Floyd BBC 😎
pink floyd is the most innovative band ever existed in the history of music and one of the few bands which achieved to create sound which belonged entirely to them. a person with the aim to understand them, which i believe our lovely uploader has done that too, must listen to them over an endless amount of time. i suggest you to do that too.
Wonderful to see such a GREAT band acknowledge that LIFE BEGINS in the womb and as such deserves protection and consideration of the potential that life has.
The version on "Works" is a shorter, incomplete demo. Which was originally released 13 years earlier on a Harvest Records sampler album titled "Picnic-A Breath of Fresh Air"
Apparently, this was supposed to be the long piece in place of Echoes on Meddle, but the latter replaced it. I don't know where, but I've read once an analysis where the guy argued that Echoes lyrics and music was also about an embryo, but a bit more hidden in symbolism. The deep sea imagery would represent the womb and the idea of "primordial waters", and phrases like "I am you and what I see is you", "Help me understand the best I can" would imply a sort of mother/baby relation and the need to go out in the world. The final verses, with imagery of a window and "sunlight wings" that is "inviting and inciting me to rise" and conclude with "no one sings me lullabies, and no one makes me close my eyes, so I throw the windows wide, and call to you across the sky" would represent the birth. Also, Rick Wright's back vocals aren't always the same lyrics as Gilmour's, and I remember from the analysis that these were even clearer in this embryo thematics, but I can't find it anymore. Musically speaking, the part of "'the whales" would represent the womb, and the big build up after lead to the birth. So basically, the reason why it wasn't on Meddle was precisely because Echoes was what replaced it.
Best period art P.F -is heavy pseyshedel rock before1970 ,and brilliant in corona number Embrio, after - replaing and electronical flactuactions(pulsactions).
All im sayin is that around the 6 minute mark it feels like peak trip. The way the tempo drifts away, and its just roger repeating the same note. And then dave with the echorec and beautiful chords. But they aren’t a drug oriented group, you can trust them.
Just imagine how epic an album Meddle would have been if Pink Floyd did a studio recording of this song and put it into the album
Thats almost exactly what I say!
+Ethan Olson Yeah... But Meddle it's already epic!
+Gabriela Martins would be even MORE epic though.
+Ethan Olson This was the song that Meddle really needed to be considered one of the greats, up there with Animals and WYWH (not quite the Wall or DSTM maybe).
Side 1 One of these days - A pillow of winds - The embryo
Side 2 Echoes
The greatest band ever playing live like absolute masters. My favourite Floyd track ever. Genius.
one of the best Floyd songs. it's a shame it was never released on a studio album.
+GunsGifts Galleries
A 4 1/2 minute version was included on the "Works" anthology in the 80s. A classic case of too little, too late.
I have to disagree on that point. Their old label, Harvest Records, put out a compilation in 1970, Picnic - A Breath of Fresh Air, and the short version was included on it. From there, the song grew into this 10-plus minute-long beast live.

Yeah it should be on Meddle
@@moefoe413 Floyd were pissed it was released without their knowledge and consent. Any theme worked on in the Works version got pushed to Echoes.
eso la convierte en una rareza, en parte del mito! una pieza digna de ser considerada "obra maestra" pero solo queda en el relato de los que lo vivieron o lo pudieron documentar! Legendaria banda Pink Floyd!
roger is fucking sick with bass here
+Ulysses M. Very true. I absolutely love Roger's bass playing from this period of the band.
He's very precise with his notes. .
Absolutely the whole band is on point
8:00 love how Roger digs in on the bass as the intensity builds up. The band was on all 12 cylinders for this performance.
Nick Mason , if you're here...please add Embryo to your setlist with Saucerful.... and get Dave!!!
And get Roger. This bass line is killer.
fantastic idea. You listening Nick.
@Ferroequus Domain He should be brought back from the grave then.
A masterpiece pretty unknown for the masses, better that way.
Its not as unknown as 'We're the Fishes' (and all we do, to swim around is all we do etc) ...........
Had it in mind that's Floyd - Can't find it *anywhere*
Thought 'Was it Syd Barrett then' - Ditto / zilch
Is there anybody out there ~ With enlightenment on this?
"The masses" LMFAO
You're so right. Most of the young fans haven't ever heard of this song. They don't know anything before The Dark side of the moon.
@@igalflint Bit of a generalization. Plenty of young people love Floyd and know their material very well.
@@babboon5764 It's Syd Barrett. The song is Terrapin, and it's on Madcap Laughs.
Holy shit, Richard is superb here! Amazing! The master of keyboards, indubitably.
Wow, Roger's bass sounds awesome here, gotta love that P-bass tone, and his line is rocking.
think it's fender p- bass
I'm not exactly sure when Rig stopped using his Rickenbacker 4001, but it was either that or his Fender P-bass.
He stopped playing the Rickenbacker 4001 in early '68
P-Bass....the FIRST electric bass....when anyone says "P-bass" that's worth their salt.....it pretty much goes unsaid knowing that it's a FENDER.........
Yes this is a Fender Precision bass
that bass line!! PINK FLOYD IS THE BEST
Highlight of the song for me
It's simple music though.
Roger Waters play a Rickenbacker.....
It's a very basic bass line.....

All is love
Is all I am,
A ball is all I am.
I'm so new
Compared to you
And I am very small.
Warm glow,
Moon glow,
Always need a little more room.
Waiting here,
Seems like years,
Never see the light of day.
All around
I hear strange sounds
Come gurgling in my ear.
Red the light
And dark the night
I feel my dawn is near.
Warm glow,
Moon glow,
Always need a little more room.
Whisper low
Here I go,
I will see the sunshine show.
all is love
Come drifting around my ear*
Moon gloom, not moon glow. See, it rhymes with room.

An opening so badass it could only be Pink Floyd
This is for sure one of their best songs EVER. The question is why they never included this in a studio album. (?!?)
Why should they? Money? Its out there buddy, enjoy.
I've read that the original 1968 studio recording was slated for inclusion on the studio half of Ummagumma but was left off as it was deemed not to mesh well with the rest of the material.
@@Huhujadu because a good sound quality version of this song, that isn't only 4 minutes long, should exist
Is included in Atom Heart Mother, they used to improv a lot anyway, there are plenty of live version, hundreds and hundreds
And the answer is because they did not.
I was great with Echoes. Embryo never released only BBC recordings so it's like a new old Floyd. I was excited to find it 🎉🎉🎉
Gilmours playing makes the goosebumps bleed into my core on this song!
In 1970 Their Record label `HARVEST RECORDS ,It was a shorter 4 & a half minute version from ` PICNIC, A BREATH OF FRESH AIR 'ALSO it's on A compilation- WORKS from 1980,I still have my original cassette I bought back then ROCK ON FLOYDIANS, PEACE✌🎶🎵🎼🙂💜❣

This is David’s best tone as far as I’m concerned... incredible sound especially with the tremolo + echo in the middle section
It is
THIS SONG FUCKING ROCKS. WOULD HAVE FIT PERFECT ON ATOM HEART MOTHER IN PLACE OF THAT ACID BREAKFAST SHIT
Oh maaaaaan, I love Embryo but that psychedelic breakfast is awesome too... I think embryo would fit perfect in Meddle...
totally should be on Atom Heart Mother!!!!
Fuck you for saying Alans psychedelic breakfast is shit. Its beautiful
