    One of my most favorite tunes from Pink Floyd. Personally believe this has about every element of a "rock song" even though I do not describe Pink Floyd as rock. It's mellow, it's hard, It's funky, it's psychedelic. Incredible keyboards, super funky bass, soul touching guitar, and scorching drums. Pink Floyd's music touches my soul. It paints a "Soundscape" of emotion ... sad ... sweet ... mellow ... mind blowing. It takes you on a journey. Even the lyrics would make "modern philosophers" cry, as they have meaning and purpose. Remember; this tune is 50 (five decades) old, and is better than 99% of the shallow mind-numbing pop which is considered music today. Thank you for your reaction, very similar to mine.

  • @simply_psi

    A point on the harmonies in this song between David Gilmour and Rick Wright, they were so in sync with each other the when Rick Wright died David Gilmour would never perform the song again as he said it would not be the same without Rick.

    I discovered this album in 1972 just before dark side of the moon came out! This song blew me out of the universe!! The end of it always seemed to me like David Gilmour on guitar Rick Wright on keyboards having a conversation kind of saying to each other I'll see you later and getting farther apart as it gets quieter. A great piece of music up there with Mozart's Requiem, Beethoven's 9th Symphony! Music like this will live on way beyond our lives!!

    On the original album [Meddle] this track is recorded as a single piece, occupying an entire side of vinyl. For the filmed version here, recorded live at Pompeii, it was split into two sections, book-ending the movie, hence the apparent disruption in the middle.

  • @TheKeeperoftheGarden
    @TheKeeperoftheGarden ปีที่แล้ว +21

    I'm a Classicist (hey, nobody's perfect!), so I feel obliged to help you put a few elements of the video (and the title of the track) in the right context. Strangely enough, I discovered "Echoes (live in Pompeii)" many, many years after I started listening to Pink Floyd back in the mid-1970s. I will always regret not having had the chance to go to one of their concerts. But I digress...
    The more I listen to and look at "Echoes (live in Pompeii)", the more I love it, the more details I discover in it.
    Pompeii was a very rich and prosperous Roman city, where lots of Romans had a second house and spent their free time, far away from Rome, which had become very crowded and very unhealthy by the start of the first century CE. Pompeii lies not too far from present-day Naples. I totally recommend a visit to its ruins. Why? Because such a visit may teach you more about how ancient civilisations managed to rise (and fall...), how they were able to make unbelievably beautiful art and architecture, how they had superb engineers who knew how to build roads, bridges, aqueducts, palaces, sewage systems, harbours, etc., all without the use of steam engines, electricity, or computers (actually, the power of steam was known already to the Greeks, centuries before Pompeii flourished - but I'm digressing again).
    Pompeii, like Herculaneum, another city close by, fell victim to a huge eruption of the Vesuvius (a volcano that is still alive, sleeping, and waiting to erupt once again, one day...), in 79 CE. Its citizens had been warned, several days before the actual eruption, by tremors, by smoke coming out of the volcano, and especially by their pets (cats and dogs) who started to be very nervous and eventually ran away. The only dog that remained until it was too late to leave, can still be seen, in Pompeii's museum, where a cast was made of the poor creature when archaeologists discovered it. Its owner had put him (or her) on a chain... Dozens, if not hundreds of mortal remains of human beings, can still be seen there also. Actually, most of the time almost nothing is left of the dead bodies, but archaeologists know that often they find hollow spaces when they excavate the houses in Pompeii, which they fill with plaster and then remove as casts in the shape of human bodies. We see them as they were at the moment of their death.
    The whole of Pompeii (which is, some three centuries after it was first discovered, still only partially excavated) is a treasure trove for archaeology, history of art, and history, because it was "frozen" (or rather petrified) in time, the moment the eruption happened. We actually have a contemporary, and "live" report of when and how the eruption happened, by a famous Roman author, who witnessed the whole event, from the other side of the bay, not far from present-day Naples. He saw how thousands of people flocked to the harbours and beaches, hoping to escape by boat. Many were saved, many died...
    In this video, we see Pink Floyd performing "Echoes" in the arena of the amphitheater of Pompeii. In that very spot gladiators would fight. And no, most of the time not "to the death", because most of them were highly trained and expensive fighting machines. Hollywood exaggerates so often when they show you Antiquity... It's actually very strange for Classicists to see how nowadays the "thumbs up" sign is everywhere and always interpreted as meaning "I'm happy with that! Great!". The "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" signs originate in Roman amphitheatres and gladiator "games". However, they were never used by the Romans the way they are used now. Hollywood, yes, again, is responsible for one of the biggest misinterpretations of sign language in the whole of human history. First, the "thumbs down" sign was unknown in Roman times. And second, the "thumbs up" sign was never used the way we use it, literally on the contrary! In fact, when the Emperor or his representative was asked to decide over the fate of a gladiator (something that happened a few times but much more rarely than films want you to believe), and wanted the winner of the fight to kill the loser, he would hold up his closed fist, with the thumb inside it, and then flip the thumb out of the closed fist. "Thumbs up" actually and originally means something very negative! But again, I'm digressing...
    The "faces" (sculptures) you see in the video, are probably to be found in the Odeion or theatre of Pompeii, another building that you can visit. You will never forget a visit to Pompeii, as it was not really destroyed by the eruption but covered in burning ashes and pumice, many metres high. That makes visitors able to walk in the paved streets, visit the rich houses, the forum (market place), some temples and sanctuaries, and yes, some brothels too. There are wonderful wall paintings to be seen, preserved with their original colours, looking brand new, mosaics, and a few years ago a pub and snack bar was excavated, where even some of the food was preserved...
    During the video, you see two other places, where the members of the band can be seen roaming around. The first place is called the "Solfatara" (NW of Naples). Its name refers to sulphur, which is one of the ingredients that a large number of smaller and larger hot mud "springs" spit out (as you can see in the video). I visited that place many years ago and it's absolutely out of this world. You step on very unstable "ground", which is actually more like hardened mud, and the smell of rotten eggs is everywhere (chemical reactions of the gases in combination with the oxygen in the air). The other place in the video you see, where the members of the band climb up and go down from, are the slopes of the volcano, the Vesuvius.
    The whole video makes me think that the title of this long track refers to the echoes of the people living and dying in Pompeii, some 2 millennia ago, echoes of the art, echoes of the things that happened there. Echoes, memories, melancholy... pain for the beauty that was lost. Echoes of time, echoes of voices, echoes of songs, echoes of everything that happened there.

And watched it ................... I just love that you did the complete thing, as well as the complete "Shine on you crazy diamond". Interestingly, most people stop after the first half, though they seem to love it. But the second half is essential in both songs, and as you know by now, there´s not much repetition, just innovation.

    I am so glad you heard that.
    I wanted to share a sentiment about this particular song.
    On December 24th 1999 a famous polish music journalist, translator, writer Tomasz Beksiński ended his life. He was a son to a famous polish painter Zdzisław Beksiński who was murdered a few years later.
    In one of his last auditions Tomasz lists all the things that made life worthwhile. Among things such as Monty Python, Twin Peaks and Apocalypse Now was this song. Most notably the guitar solo in the second part. I think we all know what he means by that. It's an experience you should have.
    I was born on the same day as this man. I feel connected to him somehow, spiritually. I think.
    'Echoes' is a absolute diamond of a piece. It's somehow beyond words.

    I think I have found a new favourite passtime, it's watching you listen to Pink Floyd, you are like an amplifier for how I felt when first listening to all these songs. I particularly liked the part when you discovered Pink Floyd were from London, the pride in your voice as you found out these musical geniuses were British was awesome. I think you'd like One of These Days live from Pulse, Comfortably Numb Live from Pulse, Sorrow Live from Pulse, Run Like Hell Live from Pulse all great.

      @@EnglishSaxons Globally, British is a more recognised enthnic origin than English, however both are acceptable ethnicities for someone who was born in England. But I guess based on your name you don't think anything that happened to this country after the Viking invasion counts for anything. The amps also said Pink Floyd London but none of the band were actually from London, again theynused London because it was better known internationally than Great Bookham, Edgbaston or Cambridge.

    Welcome to the music of my youth. This piece is 50 years old now, and yet still before its time. It's great that you recognise the genius in each and every one of them. David Gilmour for his emotional guitar playing, Richard Wright for his mastery of the keyboards, Nick Mason for keeping it in the zone with his drumming, and Roger Waters for his bass playing, and who also wrote the bulk of the Lyrics for Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Listen to the Lyrics of "Time", "Brain Damage", "Wish You Were Here", "Comfortably Numb" and "Us and Them" (possibly the most sublime anti-war song of all time). And then marvel at how much insight they had for guys who were all under 30 years of age. They are individually brilliant, but together there is a synergy that makes Pink Floyd much greater than the sum of its parts.
    David Gilmour is now 76, and still doing great gigs - check out his Pompeii 2016 performance. Roger Waters is still touring although his voice is now shot. David lost his hair and kept his voice, and Roger lost his voice but kept his hair. Nick Mason is 78 and also still touring as "Nick Mason's saucer full of secrets". Sadly Richard Wright died in 2008, and in a tribute, David Gilmour said that "he was our George Harrison", who was widely acknowledged as the greatest all-round musician in The Beatles.

    I've listened to/watched this song hundreds, maybe thousands, of times and it hits just as hard now as it did the first time. I've watched this reaction at least a half dozen times already. I am you, and what I see is me.

    Oh man, I haven't listened to this in 3 decades. And yes, we were stoned. And listened to it for the first time up in the redwoods above Santa Cruz (California). Yes, using the old, "boom box." 😂
    It. Was. Transformative.

    This was in 1972, but your Brain explodes when you listen and see the final performance DAVID GILMOUR - ECHOES (Live In Gdańsk) 26.08.2006 with Richard Wright, before Richard tied, David Glmour say ather the Death of Richard, that he never play the Song again, that means "Final Performance". It is a Live Concert and the musical quality and performance are unmachted. No other Band can compare with Pink Floyd and "echoes " live in Gdansk is the Crowl Juwel of the entire music history and industry, unbelievable and incomparable. Because Pink Floyd is the "Greatest Band of all Time"..... Greetings from Germany

    Keep in mind Waters & Gilmour we’re 25 & 27 years old in 1971. I don’t understand how people that young can write and perform music with the depth to evoke such a strong emotional response.

    Pink Floyd play music that creates musical mind-scapes. The better your imagination, the more real are the images in your brain ! And every time you listen , you see a different mind-scape !

    I came across your reaction to Hi Ren, since then I have been jumping around your other reactions, rediscovering songs that I haven't heard for a long time and new ones that I haven't heard before, I'm enjoying the journey so much. You describing PF as music which is like a painting, it completely resonated with me. The best thing of all is seeing other folks connecting and sharing memories of how they felt on hearing songs for the first time in the comments. Thanks for triggering the memories, the new finds and the fantastic reactions of you living and feeling the music in your core! Great stuff! 👍 Can't wait to see you diving deeper into the back catalogs and exploring all the different genres that are out there. Buckle up, enjoy the ride and take us with you! 😊

    Pink Floyd is my favourite band and am glad you’re enjoying them to. Pompeii is an amazing performance, despite the last part of the song being cut off and put latter on the video performance. If you looking for other high quality long songs, you should check out the band Yes. Yes’ Close to the Edge, from the album of the same name is an incredible song.

    I've watched every Floyd reactions you've made, man... thousands of times, seriously. High Hopes is the best of them, by far. But this song is the best piece of music ever written in the history of mankind. Never lets you down, always lifts you up!

    Jony, my dad has seen Floyd 6 times in their prime. Back then concerts were like going to a symphony. You sat and listened to the entire thing... no cheerleader stuff or choreography. Also as soon as the house lights went out everybody sparked spliffs so their was this stoned vibe that everybody was sharing. The sound and lighting were always state of the art. Also the sound went into Quad during various parts for dramatic effect.....the keyboard would go around the stadium or voices or birds would go from side to side. It was a spectacle and a fully immersive experience. Back in the 60's and 70's the popular drugs were cannabis and psychedelics and their music reflected going on a "trip". Echoes was structured like a symphony with 4 parts. Glad you could enjoy and appreciate Pink Floyd and the where they could take thought feeling and emotion and the human experience. Stay cool and open and enjoy......:)

    Sitting just waiting for it to get to the funk part so I can watch his mind melt. Pink Floyd could lay down some funky stuff when they wanted to.
    Yes, Pink Floyd is from London👍
    I also heard that their original lead singer, Syd Barrett, was one of the first to sing with a strong British accent. He didn’t try to hide it at all. Most of these guys are from Cambridge, and I guess they have a certain accent, and wasn’t ashamed to use it.

    playing to the masses of souls who once were there. Deep and Funky, one of the best live gigs ever!! no frills, no big crowd, just pure live four piece progressive rock! It was filmed in October 1971, released 1972 as an arthouse move. legendary timeless human art!

    FYI
    Pompeii was an ancient Roman city that was caught when a volcano erupted and buried people alive. the city was discovered and excavated this is where they played the song hence the destruction and echoes of the people that lived and died there.
    Pink Floyd is deep.

    I was lucky enough to see them live in '95 for the pulse concert. The greatest experience of my life. Pink Floyd is the greatest band of our time. David Gilmour is our generations Mozart. Everytime I hear a Floyd song I feel the way you do, I cant explain it either, its deep in my soul.

  • @johnmonticello1400
    @johnmonticello1400 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've watched this video at least thirty times since it came out. The moment he realizes the song is almost over, loses his shit, and hangs on every last note is this most real response of any reactor on the internet. I may not like every thing you do, but you hit the right spot more than you miss.
