13 years ago, i was a very lonely boy of 16 years old, i had no many friends and a lot of my days i spend in loneliness. But a god day, a boy that i knew from high school, invites me to his house. When i arrive his house, other boys was there, watching this DVD and this song was the most memorable thing of that DVD. I had no friends, but that kids, from that day to today, are still my best friends.
If you put aside all the noise effects and other show-offs, this music is colorless, boring, empty and forced. You too, knowing the basics of music theory and having some studio capabilities, can come up with something similar. Pink Floyd try, but can do little.
@@avant_excursion I beg you not to delude yourself. You are certainly easy to fool, you are naive. The group "Pink Floyd" has no equal in deceiving ordinary listeners. They know how to effectively present emptiness and nonsense, like no one else, and make good money.
@@zotron9228 True! DSOTM is my favorite album of all time. It's the pinnacle of their songwriting AND musical talent. It's a shame it all had to change...
Yes Oh Yes. Among so many other qualities, this one seems to be a bit under the radar. You just don't realize it until you realize it. They have managed this throughout their career. The last thing I want to do is slagging of other bands that used to make 20 minute long songs, but it's an art in itself and almost no-one pulls it off quite like PF. It's not restricted to longer songs of course, their pacing is just as exquisite in a 1 minute song. It all flows so naturally, nothing forced, exactly like it should be. (which is probably why it takes a while to realize they have that quality).
I’m 54 and only thought Floyd was only the Wall and Dark Side of the Moon. During Covid I went down the PF rabbit hole and I’m still there. This group is so much better than I’d thought.
My dad is 74 aswell and is more into Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and George jones, it’s wierd how 2 ppl both born in 52’ can have such different music tastes, but to me all music is magic, it depends on the mood and situation. I really like country music ( NOT THE NEW GERNE) when drinking etc and Pink Floyd like this song when I’m all alone in my man-cave, no lights on just letting my mind flow to exotic destinations (no I never use drugs). Even classical music is a breeze when trying to solve a code bug
He is for the simple fact that he is often deemed as useless and untalented. However, it takes great talent and skill to mention this groove at the beginning for so long without making mistakes.
@@jagdeepkaul1261 Rick had basically stopped contributing by the time they made the Wall. He had a heavy coke habit, was distraught over the end of his marital relationship and was tired of dealing with Roger's ego. Rick later said that Roger was extremely difficult to work with. Anyway, Roger told him to start contributing more or he was out. Well, Roger kicked him out. Interestingly, Rick was the only one to make a substantial amount of money from the Wall because he was kept on in a professional capacity for the live performances of The Wall. So that was the last Floyd album Rick worked on until David hired him back a few years later, after Roger was gone and the court battle for the right to retain the name of Pink Floyd was over.
Well, they tried commercialism. The thing is that they literally could not replicate Syd. Then, after that they stumbled a fuck ton until they found something that worked.
@@suezuccati304 That's total BS. You obviously know nothing about Pink Floyd. This was recorded 4 years after Syd's departure. They were such a successful band, that some business man had the good sense to invest a bunch of money to send them, their crew, and all of their equipment to Pompeii to record them without an audience. David played with Syd long before there was a Pink Floyd, or even The Tea Set. He was the perfect replacement. Syd wrote some great song, he was innovative, and definitely deserves a lot of credit. But he also wrote some quirky pop songs, that the rest of the band moved away from. They were successful without Syd, while his own solo career took a dive. I don't like saying negatives about him, but to say that the band suffered without him, is pure ridiculousness. And let's not forget, David played on half of their 2nd album, so giving Syd all the credit for their success, just doesn't make sense.
You are very wrong. If you put aside all the noise effects and other show-offs, this music is colorless, boring, empty and forced. You too, knowing the basics of music theory and having some studio capabilities, can come up with something like this. Pink Floyd try hard, but can do little.
I'm in the Anfiteatro now, in Pompeii. Standing exactly where they played it. Listening to this, headphones on. Full volume. Managed to do it at 35. Its never too late. Pursue what's meaningful to you. Take care
Was Wright even using a synthesizer at this time? It looks like B3, Piano, RMI organ and some effects. I don't even see a Mellotron….Amazing colors and textures he got out of his rig....Brilliant Keyboardist and composer. RIP
The Pompeii version is truly miles above the namesake album one. The contrast between the chaos and the latter harmony through organ is simply beautiful. Like a musical expresion of alchemy.
Yeah the studio is a bit lame, still great but I'd listen to this or Ummagumma version before that. They were still in the shadow of Syd Barrett back then who I thought was quite overrated
Live at Pompeii is Pink Floyd at their best, A Saucerful of Secrets, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Careful with that Axe Eugene, and Echoes, brilliant, just brilliant
Echoes in Pompeii could be the greatest musical work, video work, harmony and a tribute to the grave of an ancient city. I get the feeling the spirits of the dead are in complete heavenly bliss. Imagine if Floyd just dropped from space and played this stuff for the Roman's in the amphitheatre.
David Gilmour didn't need a sound tech guy. He got down on the ground and turned all the knobs and pushed buttons and stomped pedals and everything himself. Very talented group of people composing and playing melodic sounds. my favorite band of all time
@@garyclark9185 pre-dark side floyd was some weird and amazing stuff, so awesome a band came around and made that music for us to enjoy. So glad these guys were born and especially Syd Barrett. Without him there would have never been pink floyd, and the music they made after he left was all basically based on him
James Silva I’m in the middle of reading inside out by nick. He Rodger and Richard were in the group with many people at first and Syd eventually joined. I never knew that. So far it’s an incredible book.
That’s what I was thinking about just now. Those guys were among the luckiest sons of bitches to have ever walked on this earth. I would kill to be in their shoes
Funny that you say that. Waters said it was a metaphor for war. First part is the build up. The second part (Mason) is war. The third part is seeing the dead. The last part (Gilmour) is remembering the dead.
There were three or four kids from the area that snuck in to see what was going on but they got caught. Just when the roadie was going to boot them floyd said they could stay if they were quiet. They were there for the duration. Lucky bastards.
At first there was chaos, the song was finding itself in all the mess! After the chaos came beauty, and beautiful it was! This song is like the creation of earth! First Chaos and after beauty.
To answer your past high ass, which may still be high after 2 years, as far as I remember you weren't that far off. This song is about a battle. First part is the battle itself, and the chaos it brings. Second part is all the dead souls getting their peace after the battle.
Rick Wright is definitely one of the most under-rated keyboardists... the raw plaintive beauty of his playing on this song combines perfectly with the other musicians. Transcendent.
You can just tell that every single one of them is having so much fun with this song, especially Roger with his gong. You can practically see it on his face how excited he is to use it! 😂😂
Richard wright bringing the calm after the storm is absolutely one of yhe greatest things i have ever heard... like w all Floyd, i have to stop, close my eyes, and let my soul take in its medicine.
When i listen to the first five minutes of this, i often imagine Pompeii and his citizens during the Vesuvius eruption of 79 a.c, the absolute chaos and madness, very powerful.
Peace Harmony he's probably the worst drummer of that era, just listen to Bill Bruford (King Crimson), Charles Hayward (This Heat, Camberwell Now) or the king : Christian Vander from Magma
I love Bruford and Vander, but their approach to drumming is very different from Mason's; sometimes simplicity and groove is just as impressive as virtuosity.
i should listen more carefully then, but Pink Floyd is always a bit overrated for me, even if they have some very great melodies. Bands like Henry Cow deserve more attention in my opinion.James Sudimak

Truer words have rarely been spoken! Saucerful of Secrets may have been concieved in 1968, and recorded here in October 1971, but it still touches us today, more than 45 years later. And, it'll continue to do so for another god-knows-how-many-years... Cheers:)
I really fucking enjoyed that, when i was a youth, i couldn't get my head around saucerful of secrets, but now i COMPLETELY understand this amazing piece of music, geniuses...
Its the most underated concert in human history... No crowd just the band and history at that time writing new history for decades. The right place and time made it a masterpiece
Classic rock song videos are a feast for the eyes as well as the ears. Is it just me or does the long hair add something to the video? They look so cool to me! Genuine rock stars!!
De lejos mi canción favorita de Pink Floyd, fue la primera que escuché y me llevo a otros mundos, sus dos partes son bestiales, a cual mejor... Sencillamente perfecta de inicio a fin!!! Saludos desde Bolivia
Nick mason such a mvp... damm these guys were on another level... richard wright was at his best, guilmour and waters looked so young!! this is awesome!! i love it,
Richard Wright was the glue, the cement that kept togheter continental masses from drifting away. Then, after and even now, they're monoliths of musical poetry
Magic. The last two times I saw this video I couldn't help crying. I believe there's a secret message behind this song, and whoever is able to uncode it will arise with understanding and raise of conciousness. Love them all... sublime.
I think that is about get much bad in life and the things start to change to good feelings, intenses and good feelings about everything, in a transcedental level moment.
Esta canción se me hace muy parecida a la vida misma, empiezas en un caos armónico y poco a poco las emociones se funden en la voz celestial de la existencia.... Lástima que Roger Waters no la interpreto hace dos años cuando estuvo en Colombia... creo que Richard Wright vivirá en nosotros cada vez que escuchemos su teclado en nuestros corazones.
I recently watched this video while tripping on shrooms. One of the most holy experiences I’ve ever had. From the first second until the last second I felt myself living through the music. Every closeup of Dave or roger I felt that I was connected to their consciousness at that exact moment. I felt the thoughts they were thinking that led them to each strike of a cymbal or each strum of the guitar. A religious experience.
I think its great therapy to get the anger out. Iwould love to buy a gong and beat the shit out of it.My neihbors might not like it too much.But if it works for me I don't care.
It's difficult to explain Pink Floyd to the new generations. you need to have experienced them. evenings with pink floyd background music until you drop. after sunsets, after sunrises.......Life.....
David Gilmour and his bare feet in the dirt sitting on his butt playing awesome slide Rodger Waters jumping up and down hitting that brass Nick Mason killing it on the drums
Best version of this song I've heard them play. Gilmour is the reason I fell in Love with this band. But the band is just fantastic...that is really what I think. And that's why they're the greatest. And Nick Mason was the greatests drummer of all time...the man was a living metronome. Never missed a beat. Not even Pert or Roach or Bonham can say that.
Gotta love Pink Floyd. Mason, Gilmour and Waters stick you in a Blender and turn it on 10, then Richard Wright puts you on a fluffy cloud with his calming keyboards.
Growing up with this music. Now I'm over 60 y.o. and still believe they brought us the magic of impovised and melodic music like no other could. R.I.P. RIchard.
One of the best, powerful, and forgotten music of P.F. is. Once Gilmour said, they would never play this music on concerts, because the people did't understand it. Yeah, you must listen to all the long of music and you will be able to understand it. But the hope to perform it is gone away forever.
Floyd has the unique ability to establish the greatest feel and groove in music history - no matter what they're playing. No doubt one of the best bands anyone will ever hear.
Me and a friend used to improvise, playing like we were at Pompeii, with the sun at our faces, just letting our shit coming out and fusing in chords and rythms. those were moments where I really felt free in my mind and so excited because it sounded so good. I reeally miss those times. I love you Hector, wherever you are, my crazy diamond
I still love to watch my VHS tape of Live from Pompeii and I still get excited and that gut feeling of being on a rollercoaster when I watch them play... The Floyd will outlast time...

I really fucking enjoyed that, when i was a youth, i couldn't get my head around saucerful of secrets, but now i COMPLETELY understand this amazing piece of music, geniuses...
"A Saucerful of Secrets" was titled "The Massed Gadgets of Hercules" in its earliest performance and became a Pink Floyd live staple from 1968-72.
I always thought that was a totally cooler name for this song, but saucerful of secrets works just as well.
Its the most underated concert in human history... No crowd just the band and history at that time writing new history for decades. The right place and time made it a masterpiece
The crowd was there. The souls of the Romans who died in Pompei.
Can't find another version of this song that captures the pure talent and beauty that is Pink Floyd. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful in caos! Thats Whats is! A universe creating Life in The nothing.
There’s a 1969 live one that’s great
I like the all inclusive lyrics which mean we are gathered here today to sing and play in Pompei. It’s going to be a beautiful day. Okay.
David Gilmour´s wordless vocals seem to call out to the cosmos in both agony and wonder.
Classic rock song videos are a feast for the eyes as well as the ears. Is it just me or does the long hair add something to the video? They look so cool to me! Genuine rock stars!!
De lejos mi canción favorita de Pink Floyd, fue la primera que escuché y me llevo a otros mundos, sus dos partes son bestiales, a cual mejor... Sencillamente perfecta de inicio a fin!!! Saludos desde Bolivia
Saludos desde la paz, que bueno que escuche buena música
Otro paceño aquí celebrando este temazo
Saludos desde Costa Rica mis amigos latinos 🤟🏻
Nick mason such a mvp... damm these guys were on another level... richard wright was at his best, guilmour and waters looked so young!! this is awesome!! i love it,
RIP Richard Wright for sure.
David Jon Gilmour's use of "Glissando" and the "Binson Echorec", techniques taught to him by "Syd Barrett, are extraordinary!!!
I highly doubt syd taught David anything but you may be right
Richard Wright was the glue, the cement that kept togheter continental masses from drifting away. Then, after and even now, they're monoliths of musical poetry
I discovered this video in college (which was over 10 years ago) & I've only just found it again after all these years 😊
Sturatevi le orecchie questa è musica al 1000/ 1000
I wish there was this level of cinematography given to the same era King Crimson 🌞👑
+Randall Schoverling That would have been awesome. There is almost no footage of King Crimson's early line ups.
well..nice idea
Perhaps the most creative, but under-appreciated, song by Pink Floyd.
Magic. The last two times I saw this video I couldn't help crying. I believe there's a secret message behind this song, and whoever is able to uncode it will arise with understanding and raise of conciousness. Love them all... sublime.
Gino Funes it certainly does feel profound. the sounds present are extraordinary 💻✨
This is God's voice. No one can understand it, but they know it's beautiful.
EDIT: I just typed out what Floyd meant by each section of this piece, but.... why spoil it, you know? Leave it open to interpretation. :)
I think that is about get much bad in life and the things start to change to good feelings, intenses and good feelings about everything, in a transcedental level moment.
It's one of my various visions while a have been listening this song
I'm going to see Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets live in concert tomorrow night in Minneapolis, and I have to say I am very excited about it!
Esta canción se me hace muy parecida a la vida misma, empiezas en un caos armónico y poco a poco las emociones se funden en la voz celestial de la existencia.... Lástima que Roger Waters no la interpreto hace dos años cuando estuvo en Colombia... creo que Richard Wright vivirá en nosotros cada vez que escuchemos su teclado en nuestros corazones.
I recently watched this video while tripping on shrooms. One of the most holy experiences I’ve ever had. From the first second until the last second I felt myself living through the music. Every closeup of Dave or roger I felt that I was connected to their consciousness at that exact moment. I felt the thoughts they were thinking that led them to each strike of a cymbal or each strum of the guitar. A religious experience.
Lástima! nunca más veremos a estos cuatro genios tocar juntos
Sebastian Licona não chore por ter acabado, sorria pois aconteceu
Pezzo grandioso che ascolto da piu di 50 anni e non mi stanco mai di riascoltare Grandiosi Pink Floid Grazie per la vostra musica immortale
This band isn’t bad. I hope they get a record deal someday.
they have to improve a lot tho
@@Israel-jr5ks there's no presence of israel, even pink floyd members say that their self
Imo the band is just fantastic that is really what I think!
@@DaPeanutButteroh by the way which ones pink?
😂
'Floyd's own style of 'Jazz', just before it transforms into a rare, almost metaphysical state of emotional and resonant musical bliss.
Gets me every time! That feeling you get from hearing this is indescribable.
Why, out of the chaos, comes this beautiful melodic masterpiece, brings tears to my eyes? Because I know it's sheer genius!
Wow. What a trip. Roger Waters beat the living shit out of that gong.
I think its great therapy to get the anger out. Iwould love to buy a gong and beat the shit out of it.My neihbors might not like it too much.But if it works for me I don't care.
It's difficult to explain Pink Floyd to the new generations. you need to have experienced them. evenings with pink floyd background music until you drop. after sunsets, after sunrises.......Life.....
David Gilmour and his bare feet in the dirt sitting on his butt playing awesome slide Rodger Waters jumping up and down hitting that brass Nick Mason killing it on the drums
Don't forget Rick. Lol
50 aniversario. Esta pieza es una obra cumbre de la psicodelia.
This song always gives me chills when I listen to it. Pink Floyd is just so awesome to listen to. Also, R.I.P Rick and Syd
Best version of this song I've heard them play. Gilmour is the reason I fell in Love with this band. But the band is just fantastic...that is really what I think. And that's why they're the greatest. And Nick Mason was the greatests drummer of all time...the man was a living metronome. Never missed a beat. Not even Pert or Roach or Bonham can say that.
This is an avant-garde masterpiece. Beyond perfect...
Gotta love Pink Floyd. Mason, Gilmour and Waters stick you in a Blender and turn it on 10, then Richard Wright puts you on a fluffy cloud with his calming keyboards.
This is the heaven on the heart
RAPAZ ISSO É ETERNO COMO TODO BOM ROCK IN ROLL. COMO UM VINHO, UMA CACHAÇA, UM WHISK OU QUALQUER OUTRA COISA QUE QUANTO MAIS VELHO MELHOR.
There will never be another great group like Pink-Floyd again.💯🤔🤔🤔🤔!!!
Damn. Just Damn. What a journey this was. I felt like i was traveling through space. Masterpiece.
Growing up with this music. Now I'm over 60 y.o. and still believe they brought us the magic of impovised and melodic music like no other could. R.I.P. RIchard.
One of the best, powerful, and forgotten music of P.F. is. Once Gilmour said, they would never play this music on concerts, because the people did't understand it. Yeah, you must listen to all the long of music and you will be able to understand it. But the hope to perform it is gone away forever.
Best version without doubts Harmony in the chaos Nick absolutely amazing ! All together they were the MUST!
This live at Pompeii version of Saucerful of Secret is simply a great masterpiece, It results so magic and powerful. Live at Pompeii the greatest gig
have a look on TH-cam at METAL GIRLS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
The final part of this version, is the epitome of blending of philosophical thinking with music.
Floyd has the unique ability to establish the greatest feel and groove in music history - no matter what they're playing. No doubt one of the best bands anyone will ever hear.
ME ROMMMPE LA CABEZA, MIRA ESA BATERIA DE OTRO MUNDO NICKKKKKK DAVID TE AMO
Pink Floyd's music will carry on for a 1000 years and beyond just as Pompeii legacy has.... LONG LIVE PINK FLOYD!!!!!
Me and a friend used to improvise, playing like we were at Pompeii, with the sun at our faces, just letting our shit coming out and fusing in chords and rythms. those were moments where I really felt free in my mind and so excited because it sounded so good. I reeally miss those times.
I love you Hector, wherever you are, my crazy diamond
Really Love this Version of a Saucerll of Secrets, Nick Mason what An Amazing Drummer underrated Mike London UK
STFU….the entire band was bc nobody knew who was in it
puta que maravilla , es como un viaje por el universo
francisco alvarez lo mismo digo ❤
Así se debe sentir el paraíso😇
francisco alvarez. No es Como, ...ES UN VIAJE
y sin vuelta a atras
I still love to watch my VHS tape of Live from Pompeii and I still get excited and that gut feeling of being on a rollercoaster when I watch them play... The Floyd will outlast time...
I can't believe it started out with "badududududum dadadum tishh" and ended with "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH"
