This is the climax of a Saucerful of Secrets. The applause was as Richard Wright took to the huge Albert hall organ and more as the orchestra filed out in full dress, then the choir. It was a mind blowing finale...
Genius! Something tells me for these guys to create something so well orchestrated at such a young age, they must have come back from a previous life.... I listen to this while I work some nights for hours strait, over and over..... love it!
thanks for this. I was at this one. it was the last date of the tour rick wright had a gold and black waistcoat on and played the halls organ here. they let off pink smoke at the end
AMAZING... People saying that the first part of Saucerful of Secrets is a racked don't understand it, IT'S a song that hasn't come out yet, that's how far ahead in time they were.
To think this was recorded in 1969.well amazing..Great recording, don't forget the PA systems in those days were less than perfect.proves how good the acoustic's are in the Albert Hall.
Nice versión i have never Heard it before. Maybe it could be more interesting if the voice of Gilmour was the principal voice in the chorus part..... i Heard SOS when i was 15 .... now im 44.... and the part of the voice of Gilmour is the best part of any PF´s song. I used the climb a mountain in the middle of the valley with my walkman and Heard celestial voices in the top of the hill...... this experience for me was incredibly and made a part of myself, a part of my soul, a part of my personality.... SOS is the most important song (See me Feel Me too) in my whole life. When im at my office..... i turn off the lights and play ummagumma versión..... the last part of Gilmour´s entonation its so exciting for me......
We all have our memories of the wonderful original Ummagumma double Album. Reminiscing, it always makes me smile. I was listening to 'Saucer' on the then just released album when a couple of the other guys in the accommodiation started running around banging on everyones' room doors shouting 'There are Zebras in the garden of the house across the road - No, *really* there *are* ' My terse reply was to the effect 'Yeah right. Look I'm listening to Pink Floyd ....... and they should attempt an act which is probably physical impossible'. The following day's Blackpool Gazette (the local paper), front page, had photos of four Zebras which had escaped from nearby Blackpool Zoo being rounded up.
La voz de Gilmour es lo que hace tan sublime el final de la canción... la sensación es tan idescriptible que faltarían palabras para explicar lo que hace sentir esta canción cantada por Gilmour.
L'ho trovata quasi per caso, anche se "Saucerful" è sempre stata la mia magnifica ossessione (per me le più belle versioni restano quella al Civic Center di Santa Monica del 23-10-1970 -sul bootleg "Creatures of the Deep"- e quella di Ummagumma), ma questa, che ho sentito stasera, è ancora qualcos'altro, così non l'avevo mai sentita.....
They did? They released multiple official versions. You have the studio version, the one from Ummagumma, and Live in Pompeii. Perhaps not this specific version, but multiple ones either way.
How wonderful to hear this rarity after all the decades of rumours! thanks so much for posting! One can see, as one suspected, the linear progression to ATM, suggesting that Geesin has less to do with the ideas than he claims. Who scored this? Suspect Mr. Richard Wright. Any info to the contrary? yours, gratefully,
Esta obra de los Floyd es una de las más sublimes composiciones que haya podido haber escuchado en mi vida.... No obstante el fondo o "motiv" trágico de su origen, creo que es fuera de serie... Toda la vulnerabilidad de la condición humana expresada en un lenguaje musical grávido de llanto por la antítesis entre lo deseado y lo dado: la muerte, el fracaso, el peso de una(s) realidad(es) descansadando en nuestro ser, es decir, socavando la fragilidad de lo que nos quedó luego de la irreversibilidad de lo dado y cuya verdad nos recuerda que la perecibilidad es humana y que la temporalidad es la brasa de nuestro gerundio.
This version is amazing, the orchestra is spectacular. But nothing compares to live at pompeii version, the voice of david gilmour at the end of the song is something different atmosphere, exciting. * The funny thing is that david gilmour only returned to royal to recording Remember That night, all the fault of the cannon at the end of music!
Plusieurs versions de 1970 et 1971 sont bien meilleures que celles de UmmaGumma et Pompéi (qui m'apparaît bâclée). La plus longue et la plus riche, en 1971, dépasse les 20 mn ! Le thème de Celestial Voices y est repris 7 fois.
Cette version existe sur plusieurs pirates relativement faciles à trouver sur le net (Ici par exemple : www.guitars101.com/forums/tags/pink%20floyd.html). Elle est à la fin de la suite conceptuelle "The Journey" qui comprenait "green is the Colour" (renommé "The Beginning"), "Careful With That Axe Eugene" (renommé Beset By The creatures of the Deep", "The Narrow Way P.3", "Pow R Toc H" (Renommé "The PinkJungle", "The Labyrinths of Auximines" (inédit en disque), "Behold the Temple of Light" (inédit en disque) et ce final "Celestial voices". L'ensemble durait, selon les concerts, de 20 à 30 mn. L'autre suite jouée sur scène à la même époque était "The Man" qui décrit la journée d'un homme ordinaire,avec le lever, le travail, le thé, le repos, l'amour, la nuit et ses cauchemars...
I don't like the beginning of Saucerful of Secrets, but the end part is great. It's a good thing I stuck through that racket the first time I listen to it.
On the "A Saucerful Of Secrets" album ? This was only the first studio version, and it was bound to evolve later. An early and shorter version of this exists on bootlegs, it is called "The Massed Gadgets Of Hercules", and it is yet a beautiful babe announcing what it would become 3 or 4 years later...
Why do they keep clapping seemingly at random? As cool as this is, I think I like the studio version better. There's a point in the recorded version where all the bass just drops in at once and just vibrates your whole body. I keep expecting that bass and it never comes. Still, just this chord progression is amazing. There's something so haunting and magnificently desolate about it.
Probably is there, but the microphone and tape machine probably just didn't pick it up. I have owned some late 60s cassette recorders and they have a pretty limited frequency range.
@@laurensvisser7623 I think I listened to this song more on vinyl than any other format. I was obsessed with this record when I was young. It's so dark. The darkest work of an already dark band. Recorded during a very dark time for the band. But I digress. I'm not sure if that's the case here. I can hear bass. I just can't hear the moment when the bass comes in and the intensity increases. It's more a mournful but linear journey than the crescendo that leaves you in stunned silence in the original. But still very cool.

Imagine having created this
#1 best band in the world ever so far

Wow! That one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard!...
Yes! I was looking for this version, and found it here. Great! I like to know all variations of "Saucerful.."
Incredible song and so few know it.
AMAZING...
People saying that the first part of Saucerful of Secrets is a racked don't understand it, IT'S a song that hasn't come out yet, that's how far ahead in time they were.
Très très fort... J'aime beaucoup...
Incredibile questa versione ....
La più bella mai ascoltata ...
Grazie
The best instrumental version from one master piece of PF even now today.
Once clapping is/was enough, indeed
To think this was recorded in 1969.well amazing..Great recording, don't forget the PA systems in those days were less than perfect.proves how good the acoustic's are in the Albert Hall.
Extraordinaria versión, desconocida pero no menos melodiosa y bella...para escucharla y disfrutarla!!!

Celestial voices on the top of the mountain wow man i hope i could do it.

thank you. It looks like Atom Heart Mother. Nice to hear it.
In the words of "Little Alex" "Gorgeousness, Gorgeousity," "Purest Heaven"
Incredible, didn't know this existed...thank you!
+atomi62 welcome

This is only the 4th part of the Saucerful of Secrets suite, need to hear the first three before this!!!!
+Mark Ebersole They only played the fourth part as the finale to their "The Man and The Journey"-suite.
never heard this before' Thanks for posting......
ECCELLENTE, SUBLIME, DIVINA!!!
Beyond beautiful, why didn't they record it properly and release it? 'Celestial Voices' indeed!
They did? They released multiple official versions. You have the studio version, the one from Ummagumma, and Live in Pompeii.
Perhaps not this specific version, but multiple ones either way.
avrebbero potuto pulirla e inserirla nel box the early years!!!
Fabrizio Villa e vero
Adding the trumpet/sax after choir as ending makes it quite toppy.
+pieter spaans i see what you did there :DDD
Toppy,youd never heard of it till Pompeii
The orchestral arrangement sounds like Ron Geeson to me. Roger worked with him on ‘Music From the Body’ and the ‘Atom Heart Mother suite’.
No, it was Richard
When Rick got to play the massive pipe organ in the Albert Hall.

+thewordofgord Norman Smith, their then-producer, conducted.
Themselves
CELESTIAL !!!!!!!
Drop some blotter and sit back boys...Its gonna be a long night.
That’s a cool lyric
Wow, pipe organ version!
Secrets!
Hey... the beginning of SoS (at least the Ummagumma version - the original is quite dull) is some of the most impressive racket one will ever hear!

Respekt auch für diese
Version, oder liegts an
der Tonqualität ?
The choir line is the same as David's from the live at Pompeii, different tempo with minor variations but otherwise the same.
8:57 Die Kanonen!! :D
oh jo, ich glaub danach gab es hausverbot bis zur tour 94/95 :D
If the world war III happens, this should be played after it.
Racket? That's Brahms! Brahms' Third Racket!
went they banned after this? smoke bomb?
yep, these were cannons
This version is amazing, the orchestra is spectacular. But nothing compares to live at pompeii version, the voice of david gilmour at the end of the song is something different atmosphere, exciting.
* The funny thing is that david gilmour only returned to royal to recording Remember That night, all the fault of the cannon at the end of music!
Originally titled The Massed Gadgets of Hercules"...the Pompeii version is the best recorded and probably the definitive version.
Sid Buckland still prefer the Ummagumma version.
Pompeii
Ummagumma version is definitely the best there is

grandiose, mais introuvable en disque ?
Hélas non.....

i dont understand why the version of this on the released album is so plain and boring. this is how it should be. or even the umma gumma version!

It's called evolution
clapping is very annoying but great performance

8:56 and someone shot that falsing female Singer.
