Early seventies....A dark room.....floor pillows.....good speakers.....good friends......good grass....good trip.
Same except my uncle's room and black lights. I was just a kid so wasn't smoking. Yet!
And a couple lava lamps
Yep take me back plz lol
@@mikeyrebs8259 LOL
@@kierstenridgway4634 oh yeah. Black lights of course
For 23 minutes and 31 seconds the world was good - COVID was gone, racism was gone, inequality was gone, Illness was gone, poverty was gone and politicians were honest. I think I might play it again.
nice.
Agreed but politicians were never honest. Just sayin
@@PortugueseKeto
Should read: ', poverty was gone and all the politicians and lawyers were dead.' When does a politician stop lying?
But yes, music is a great escape sometimes.
@@nelsonx5326 all politicians should be quarantined or marooned on a deserted planet

I'm sick of them. They are working on creating a new government agency that spies on Americans. Because a couple hundred over excited pissed off Americans stormed the Capitol they want to spy on all of us. They can't imagine it might be themselves they should take a hard look at.
Besides that, they have gotten weird. They are leaning towards communism. Where ever there was communism the people suffered oppression and poverty while the government lived like kings. I don't like it.
Floyd don't write songs. They make masterpieces.
Echoes, as Roger Waters declared in an interview, was the attempt to describe “The potential that human beings have for recognizing each other’s humanity and responding to it, with empathy rather than antipathy.“
Namaste.
The echoes of us in each other
Waters is a stupid lefty....sorry but its true, which are the same stupid people that are creating a dictatorship these days.
@@rondegroot1508 Yeah i wish people like him followed his own advice instead of participating in this social puritanism in our society. I’ve heard him in interviews label entire groups of people “extremists”. Part of empathizing with people is also having compassion and not assuming people you don’t understand are just “bad” people.
…..Still an amazing song though
Sadly, David Gilmour has said that he will not perform this song live after the passing of Richard Wright.
I think Richard Wright was often not recognised for the huge part he played in the music of Pink Floyd. Without this talent and contribution many tracks would have been nothing. David Gilmour is a master with the guitar but I rate Richard Wright equal on the keyboards.
@@Michael_Sparkes I couldn't agree more.
@@Michael_Sparkes Any colour you like!
The back and forth between Richard and David at the end before you get sucked into the vortex, along with the heaviness of the subject of the song makes this some of the most intimate playing ever. It’s like losing your musical soulmate. I understand why he won’t play it again.
I seen them do this live back in the day, it was incredible.
With all today’s technology not one person on this earth can challenge this....... this is musicianship and an example that less is more and not 1 note is wasted. God bless Floyd and all the space candidates who ride their ship. Salute.
Try Octavarium from Dream Theatre. It's inspired by floyd but completely different. From classical flute to an amazing bass solo to Irish to a small metal part. There's so much in this song - definitely an experience.
'God' has nothing to do with it.
@@williamwallace5857 Gawd then.... It's an expression, not a literal command but you know that and being facetious is all part of your game I suppose.
@@Sandkasten36 if I recall, David Gilmour produced their music...or am I confusing them with someone else?
@@alexchurchill8602 Just in case you were serious.
Best reaction ever. ‘What can I say? There is nothing to say.” I buried my Dad yesterday. After being consumed by a roller coaster of emotions and the planning of the military funeral and fighting to get his nursing home bills paid I finally arrived here. And this song just made me right. Thank you.
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...when you world turns to shit and you've had a crappy day, you come home, pour a scotch (or similar), or glass of red, drink that offing it down. Then, pour another, woof that down too, then pour a third one and go turn off all the lights. Put this Pink Floyd record on. Go find a bean bag or deep leather couch, put your headphones on and sink down into your chair, close your eyes, sip away the final drink, and let the music sooth your soul !!!
My sincere condolences, Glenn. I am totally with you, since my dad past away last week by Corona. His service was last tuesday. This music, like most of PF is thé way to come to yourself again after the inner fight of dealing with your emotions while having to go through the drill of organizing a farewell in these awful times. We could not be there not support my dad on his final departure. He died all alone! Because of the contamination risk. I have never, never felt as torn apart inside. It is something I wish no one has to go through!
@@j.k.1963 oh.....my heart aches for what you went through. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences.
God...I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. I’ve been there...including the military funeral. It’s so hard.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Thank you for your kind and sincere words, they are heard. 💖
The harmony between Rick Wright and Dave Gilmour's voices is something magical and totally ethereal, but trying not to sound like a broken record repeating all the other comments but Live in Pompeii is epic dudes
The beef I have with the "Live at Pompeii" version of "Echoes" is that they cut it up in two parts. Why, for heaven's sake?
@@BaldJean Yes, totally agree. Annoying isn’t it?
_Remember That Night_ version SMOKES _Pompeii._
Cha Ching !! You read my mind ! Pink Floyd "Live In Pompeii", then Gilmour there with an actual audience, was it in 2016 ?
@@geofftestpilot9076 spot on considering his age at the time (70) his performance in Pompeii 2016 was imperious, the whole concert was amazing
I’ve come to regard this song as the greatest rock song ever, not the best, or biggest hit etc, but greatest in terms of the sheer breadth and epic scope of the concept /vision realised so well, the audacity to write a rock song about evolution, spirituality, the eternity of time and life etc and have the music perfectly match the lyrics - just wow, what a song and what a band!
For me its the best song ever released , the creative genius is just sublime. Imo this is the greatest song across all genres.
Definitely the Greatest, no song is as epic.
Have you ever heard Nightwish’s song about evolution “The Greatest Show on Earth”? If not check it out. Pretty epic too
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV I agree but also check out Nightwish “ The Greatest Show on Earth”
Yes
If anything, 23 minutes is a very, very short amount of time, to tell the entire story of the universe.
Which this song does. THAT is how good Pink Floyd were.
I've been listening to that song for almost 20 years now and I still cannot fathom how it was made by just four dudes, somewhere in England in 1971.
4 young creative minds plus talent, but in a certain time & space==THIS music❣️
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
First time I heard this I was ditching school and got stoned, I decided to check out the brand new portable Stereo/ record player system (our first) and headphones my dad bought. I grabbed one of my sisters albums at random, (and her stash), Ran the headphones out of the window, and was reclining on a lounge chair on the back porch smoking another joint, relaxing in the sun, when this song came on. 50 years later I'm still at a loss of words to describe the experience, except to say I immediately became a lifelong fan!
Same here my brother
You can listen to this a thousand times, still won't be boring, not a bit. This was the golden age of rock for sure.
What a fantastic time to go through my teens.... Timothy Leary was influential.
@@danchristopher7957 Timothy Leary? As in Moody Blues?
A masterpiece, 1000 light years ahead of its time.
Check out the Pompeii live version. Early 70’s. No audience but all the ghosts would have been thoroughly entertained.
The best version .At Pompeii .
@@TheXopony amen.
Absolutely the appropriate background for this song!
The best version.
Waters bass is utter wickedness.
"but all the ghosts would have been thoroughly entertained". Love It!
My dad bought me this LP in 1972 after seeing a film called "The Silver Surfer " about a dad and a son making a surf board and the last 23 mins was the surfer surfing with a cam underneath the board and this was the music . So we stayed in to see who did the music and it was Pink Floyd , im 60 now and been a life long fan , Thanks guys
I was 16 years old the first time I heard this at a friends house after school. I'm now almost 65 and I still get goosebumps. To think this came before Dark Side Of The Moon. Incredible. This track isn't for you guys today to understand - Wait a few decades at least, and then you'll realize this is "Echoes" of your life past.
This **has** to come before Dark Side. Dark Side can't happen without this song and the tours where they refined it (as 'Looking Through the Knotholes in Granny's Wooden Leg'); that's where the band really found their sound.
Jim, I'm 62 and just like you, I heard it at a friends house too. Where the hell have all those years gone??
@@cloudcoveredmoon0015 I know exactly what you mean...& "Time" on Dark Side Of The Moon, really does now mean so much more - as does "Echoes"
@@jimled50jl49 Definitely. Do you hear the seagulls and crows in 'Echoes'' Jim?
@@cloudcoveredmoon0015 Yes, of course. It's amazing what you do hear on headphones with a lot of Pink Floyd. Brick in the Wall album version cracks me up. Lol
This song is the upper most any human can go in terms of creation. There's no match, no substitute. It is the highest level of music human can ever reach.
Piano/Organ, Guitar, Drums, Bass, and lots of other instruments and sound effects combined and played perfectly. Lyrics is perfect. There really are no words in human language to explain it enough.
Genres covered: Art Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Experimental Rock, Space Rock.
This comment is overrating. You should listen to oriental music
Echoes is a soundtrack that doesn't need a movie - Pink Floyd lets you write your own stories, and create your own cinematography in your mind (and it can be different every time - it's up to you). They will NEVER have an equal - EVER.
Muy cierto. NUNCA NADA ni NADIE alcanzará la genialidad de Pink Floyd🙌
People wanna pay thousands to travel to space one day.... Pink Floyd been giving it to us for free for yrs..... Shit takes u to many dimensions lol... Superb as usual lads.. Awe the best
2001 A Space Oddesy, Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite / Echoes?
Will change many lives and views on.... EVERYTHING. Stanley Kubrick loved Pink Floyd. Hence Dr. FLOYD in the film. (Clavius Pandemic)
This was made, created, without computers or any other digital devices. I'm 64 and i,m so thankful I grew up with this music. Totally changed my life. I get so much pleasure out of seeing a young generation discovering this music for the first time.
My youngest son was conceived while Pink Floyd played in the background.....he is now as big a fan as I am! This music is timeless and will always be heard....pass it down to the younger people., folks!
And to think that this song is 50 years old!!! 50 years!!!
The song that defined Pink Floyd and their future iterations of music.
I respect how much pink floyd there is on this channel
The best "song" ever made period
This is when Pink Floyd became the Pink Floyd we all know and love. From 1968 to 1970, they searched and searched for their sound. They hinted at it, and had great music and moments along the way. But Echoes is when it all those ideas clicked. Great reaction guys!
I was fortunate enough to live a five minute walk from Blarney club, which at around midnight became the UFO, my brain was still feeding on the Stones the Who etc´, and was a bit confused as to what was taking place, of course it was the Floyd and Soft machine, had an inkling something new was on the horizon, and it took a while for it to sink in, and sink in it gradually did, Echoes being one of those defining moments.
This album preceded Dark Side of the Moon. Their earlier albums were experimental in sound but here is where they finally unleashed their potential and found their identity in music. The rest is history. Truly the most original and iconic band in the past, present and future. Great reaction guys.
*Obscured By Clouds* was released after *Meddle* & before *The Dark Side of the Moon.*
Bro wots... uh the deal
I love how you said "...from the beginning..."
This song is about evolutionary biology on earth!
Everything y'all said at the end is true...it's about Evolution of man from single cells!
That we are all connected and the same.."..and I am you and what I see is me."
I legitimately think that this song should be sent into space. There really aren’t too many things like it out there
"Echoes" is the peak in the field of music
If memory serves me right, this was the first song I heard from Pink Floyd. I recall the evening at a friends house with a group of teenagers. It blew my mind, still does. There are a lot of great Floyd songs but this one is a true masterpiece. I feel it best reflects their brilliance and creativity.
The 70s . A decade where people stayed in their home almost 24/7 listening to amazing albums with songs like this. Talent was so thick....never run out.,,,so blessed I was one of them.. lol
The transition into Roger’s funky bassline gets me everytime
To try and describe or define this song in mere words is to diminish it. All you can really do is feel it and surrender all your preconceptions about music to it. True Masterpiece.
P.S. Happy 77th Birthday Drummer Nick Mason of Pink Floyd today!! 🧁 👁️⃤
Happy birthday NICK !!!
A little like hearing Magical Mystery Tour.
got to meet Nick when i was 15 in 2003. great bloke!
@@gdkey8025 lucky guy!!
Echoes is the masterpiece that gave all the component parts of Pink Floyd a chance to shine!
“I am you and what I see is me”...the line perfectly explains the outer body experience of the song
I was so excited you guys finally did ECHOES! Oh my God, it is the song that saved 2020 for me, I can't think of a week I haven't played it since I rediscovered it last year. When I was younger I wasn't ready for it. But now I feel the completeness of it, the story, the universe within it.
The lyrics are so sublime, deceptively simple, some of the most beautiful poetry ever written - what a way to describe the morning rays!!
"Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning"
And then to end with the lonely call across the sky from the same window - it's perfection!! I love that it begins as an exploration then ends in a room but looking back towards the sky, the universe, as the winds start to pick up, and yes that is the wind but also a vocal. Wow.
I have been oscillating between the Pompeii version and the Gdansk. The Pompeii version is visceral, raw - Gilmour is almost stalking the melody as he plays that grungy part after the first verse then goes on a full assault. It STILL makes my arms go into goosebumps. I love the way Wright and Gilmour sing together in this one too, their beautiful youth just glows, and Mason goes full beast mode on the drums, it's astonishing! The director's cut of this video is my favourite, it's breathtaking.
Then.... Gdansk! For a while I couldn't listen to it as it's sad knowing it's the last time Rick and David performed this together. But oh what a beautiful ode to their friendship - the musical conversation they have in this, the years and years that have elapsed and the level of virtuosity - the subtlety! The ending is truly truly one of the most satisfying, nuanced pieces of music ever, a quiet letting go, a gentle yet assured statement.
And then for fun - well you have to just enjoy the acoustic Abbey Road version - I love watching the other musicians in that one as they seem to be exploding with joy to be playing with the masters. I know I would be too! :)
I'm so happy that reaction videos like this share the love of this song and it's so wonderful seeing so many hear it for the first time!
Ohhhhh shit
Now do it again but at pompeii!!!
Also notice that the album cover is an ear, if you didn't already know
Pompeii is the best!!!!!!!
Pompeii is incredible - Gilmore's guitar truly soars ! - Remember there are now 2 @ Pompeii - as Gilmore returned recently for his solo concert....We are talking about the first time with Pink Floyd....The new remastered version on dvd doesn't split it into 2 parts - finally !
Try Echoes in this video:
m.th-cam.com/video/fwdKFSEe2uY/w-d-xo.html
... video that IS NOT mine!
yes, Alfie-next has to be the live in Pompeii version!
Definitely. The wind blowing as they sing is iconic.
Live in Gdańsk (Wrights last performance) is the masterpiece for me, even above Pompeii
Yes!!
I fully agree. The last mintes of Gdansk is so emotional and beautiful.
@@0gkmedia0 my god those last few notes.... knowing they were his last takes it to a whole new emotional level.
@@alexchurchill8602 agree. but even if Wright would still be amoung us. The magic that Wright and Gilmour put to Echoes in the last part is amazing. Of course, knowing it was the last ever performance makes it for fans even more emotional.
@@0gkmedia0 you’re a good person. I like you.
The thing I love about echoes is the way it builds up at the start, then quietens in the middle, then builds up for ending, a master piece of a song.
Gilmour said that the piece was a conversation between his guitar and Wright's synth, when Wright died he stopped playing it live, check out Pompeii or the the version from Gdansk, both awesome
My Father when I was 10 11 12 around 73 ? would play this as background music during Halloween kids didn't know what the they were listening too as the walk up to the door .. lmao
Man… I’ve listened to various forms of this song about 30 times in past the few days. My dad died a couple of weeks ago, and he got me into Pink Floyd at a young age. I’m just floating trying to find meaning and this song is part of my healing. I’m watching lots of reactions of it, seeing what emotions it sparks in people. I love your reaction to it. Thank you.
It's Art that you can listen to
Absolutely fantastic reaction, thank you for doing my favourite Floyd song justice
I always took this as an undersea journey. From an emptiness in the beginning, to discovering the life at different levels (albetross on the surface to caves on the floor, experiencing the ebb and flow, to gulf streams, to an exhilarating rising to the surface at the end. This has been my favorite song for over thirty years! Beautiful reaction, thank you!
I love the long, slow descent to deep into depths of the ocean, the sounds of the mammal songs, feeing the unnerving pressure of being at such a depth, then gradually returning towards the surface, the scary nerves melting away into a calm and relaxing state of excitement, ever further towards the surface until you can hear the sea birds at the surface, then the magnificent, explosive crescendo, then back into the vocals the finish the journey that you never want to end.
Man you have a way with words...
One of main aspects to floyds music is they are very patient, not in a rush to impress you, it just draws you in slowly and makes you glad you are alive to hear it
Those ping sounds on the keyboard are alluding to ASDIC [“Anti- Submarine Detection Investigation Committee,”] which was a form of sonar equipment used to detect u-boats in WW2. It's not often a piece of electronic gear gets named after the committee that promoted its development. My late father served on a frigate that used ASDIC to hunt u-boats.
One of the main riffs was pinched by Andrew Loyd Webber for the stage show The Phantom of the Opera.
When asked why didn't PF take ALW to court, Roger Waters said "life's too short" 🤣
The sound effects / sound scape in the middle always makes me think of the millions of years after life first started in the oceans but before the arrival of man.
Finishing with a reminder that all of us are related.
But then Waters went on to take the other members of PF to court for continuing to use the name Pink Floyd after he left the band. Go figure!
He also made reference to ALW with a pretty scathing lyric in “It’s a Miracle” from Amused to Death.
The best musical performances reach into you and affect everything - your intellect, your emotions, your memories, your imagination....everything. Echoes does just that!
The g says echoes is his fav song of all time... m subscribing!!!!!
Yet another Pink Floyd masterpiece-I am being redundant-Pink Floyd=masterpiece.
Pink floyd's music is whatever your mind and soul want it to be.Mood also changes your perception of it too!
Absolutely! Art validates itself to the individual, not necessarily to the intent or specific sensibility of the artist. Even Roger waters reinterprets his own lyrics over the years. I've often heard him say what he *thinks* certain lyrics mean as opposed to any set in stone meaning. And they're his lyrics!
Davids and richards mind meld, two musicians one heart beat...!
Everyone's saying live at Pompeii, but live in Gdansk is spectacular as well even though it's technically a david gilmour show
Watch this song synched to the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. That's a trip.
Yep, that's it: th-cam.com/video/rn7MmS3vazU/w-d-xo.html
FINALLY
Guys this masterpiece si the besa song of the band, and should enter the best songs of rock of the history ❤️
Echoes Live at Pompeii 1972.... You are gonna love it BTW THANK YOU FOR THIS. WE LOVE YOU DUDES 🤘🏽
My all-time favourite. To me, this piece of music is basically a descent to the hell and the darkness, a journey into the suffering and tribolations, and then an ascent from the deep abyss to the stars. Hell, purgatory, paradise. A sort of Dante's Divine Comedy in music.
OMG Yes!!!!! Live from Pompeii is an absolute must! David Gilmore & Richard Wright on vocals, how mesmerizing ♥️🎶🎸🎤♥️
I love your smile when David Gilmour starts to stroke the strings at 2 minutes in, then onwards. I think you guys love Pink Floyd almost as much as me. Almost, because I started listening in 1970, never stopped.
Hey guys you should see this live in gdansk Richard Wright and Dave Gilmore. It’s awesome I think it’s the last time they done echoes together before Richard died. You can get it from TH-cam.
It's just glorious! And no, it's not a song, it's a sonic poem.
PF music is timeless, Echoes takes us on our own journey, everyone has a different experience when listening to this brilliant song, thanks for playing Echoes 👍
Absolutely perfection
For me, the single high note Wright plays on the piano, which very faintly "echoes" via reverb (I think) in the background evokes sonar on a submarine. The "calls" in the abstract section harks back to the opening line about the albatross, and I picture those giant sea birds crying out to each other up in the sky, while the listener is deep within a cave along the shore, so the calls are muffled and distorted.
And, by the way...
...thank you, thank you, thank you for not pausing the song. If any song deserves to be played straight through, this is the one!
Agreed it’s always my favorite song. Truly a masterpiece. Ultimate relaxation, hypnotic, breathtaking. Shut off the world and absorb!
This album came out early in my junior year at university. We were sitting around and had a smoke or two and listened to this tune. It was probably already 5 minutes over when one of the guys just said "oh wow man, what kind of journey was that?" Yes sir, that was and still is one heck of a song, an absolute masterpiece. Rock on people!
I've always thought of this song as being about being emotionally or spiritually lost before finding your way back again. Opening with the sonar pings of a submarine, like someone feeling their way happily through life, hitting a their stride, before getting lost in the abyss of inky black nothingness, and then finally, sending out those sonar pings and getting a faint return (you can actually hear the return signal), finding the light again, and the way home. Perhaps it is an analogy for the journey of our lives, the confidence of youth, the crisis of middle age, and the contentment of one's senior years.
Sometimes, during the "lost" section, I also picture the Dali-esque landscape of a sun-baked, barren desert, populated with strange, distorted creatures, random rock formations and abstract shapes. It's amazing how everyone hears something different. I've heard people say they feel lost in a jungle, or on a strange planet, or floating in space, or deep in the ocean. One reactor even said it sounded like peacocks mating. Whatever the case, it's a masterpiece, and if that wasn't clear on your first listen, you need to listen to it again and again.
That is pretty close to what Ifeel from this masterpiece. Your description is vivid and journey in itself- well said.
The band struggled for a few years after the loss of Syd Barrett. I think this album is when they became the band we know and love. This song is almost a microcosm of that struggle. The song started beautifully, descends into the depths of Hell, and when it emerges they are the fully formed Pink Floyd.
The opening 90 seconds is the purest crafting you will ever hear and it get better after that.
As an Old Guard of pink Floyd's music I am so happy to see this renewed interest. The albums before "Dark side of the Moon" are finding their way into the light and ears once again. "Echoes" is one o my favorite songs I remember when I first heard Meddle and how revolutionary it was to my conscientiousness. Of course we smoked a bit first so....
Your reactions are so honest. I could tell that the song had an effect on you, it touched you and evoked emotions inside you. I feel exactly the same. Makes me cry a lot. Words can't describe the feelings and it helpsme healing. Looking forward to experience your other reactions. 🙏🏻
The thing with the strange sounds guys is that 30 years after the release of the album, it became widely known that this is how planet earth sounds outside of the atmosphere...
You 100% need to do the live version of this from Pompeii, absolutely incredible
I recently ran across your channel and I must say y'all are a refreshing kind of music reactors. It's nice to see y'all discovering the music I grew up on. When I say music today has lost its talent and originality, I mean to say it's a lost art, I fear. Not to sound like MY grandmother, but very few musicians have this kind of talent or vision anymore. 🤔
Stranger in street: What genre is Pink Floyd?
Pink Floyd: Yes.
This piece feels like rising out of deep murky water onto a jagged landscape of dense, cold fog and then ascending up into a wind funnel...I didn't realize that the 'creatures shrieking in the fog ' was accomplished by Gilmore playing slide guitar with a volume pedal until I saw live footage of him duplicating those eerie monsters!! incredible!!
Hey guys. I have loved Pink Floyd for at least 35 years. I have somehow never heard this song. Thank you so much. Keep on reacting Brothers. Love you guys. It's obvious you are true music lovers. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
The best way to watch this is to see them live at Pompeii!!
Super reaction dudes! I think, even, if you were, first, speechless, you, finally, said everything! The greatest thing about PINK FLOYD, as all the great bands, is that you can hear, what you want! One of you, heard the wind, at the end (which is the truth), the other one heard voices! And, yet, you're twins! 😂You should be hearing the same! 👍😂So cool! Same for the lyrics! Everybody, can take the lyrics, and put there on their own life! So, everybody will explain that differently! That's the genius! Super reaction BRO! You should watch to the Pompeii version of ECHOES! With the images of the Roman ruins, the volcano, it's absolutely, perfect, and, it's another experience! And, the live at GDANSK, version, is, absolutely, incredible! The last one, Dave Gilmour, played it with Richard Wright, before his death! They're the 2 guys, singing together, on that song! But, they are talking together, with their instruments, like if they knew it was the last time! JUST, PHENOMENAL! Peace from France guys 👍😂🎶✌️🎸🇫🇷
Every time I listen to this song I always manage to find a new layer that I've never heard before, whether it be a very soft rhythm guitar in the background or just a different layer of Ricks keyboard, I always hear something new
Out standing even for pink Floyd. Any yet again another music form the 70's.
I concur, I don’t think these guys were born of this planet. They came from somewhere else, the truth will come out one day! Great reaction - do the Pompeii version now!
It's Echoes, the weird sounds have to be whales communicating and if you listen close you can hear the submarine ping and return ping. Watch a clip from Crystal Voyager with this song, you will see the whales, amazing!
Actually it is a sound David Gilmour accidentally discovered he could make with his guitar. See th-cam.com/video/OEd9Fu-xWgw/w-d-xo.html for example.
the first note you hear (the “echo” sound) is a piano run through a leslie case (a pair of spinning horns designed for hammond organs), something that had never been done before and the engineers at apple studios had to create a way to do it, and did thankfully :)
Apple studios. Abbey rd maybe?
Funny thing about Pink Floyd, a lot of people think it ALL started with Dark Side and ended with The Wall but ofcourse they had many albums well before that. Some of the very early stuff is unique,interesting and unforgettable. But,they really started cooking with Atom Heart Mother, Obscured By Clouds and the BRILLIANT, Meddle !....Good choice to do Echoes......but don't forget Careful with that axe Eugene .
Personally I thought they really found their sound with the "hard hitting" live versions from their existing catalogue on "ummagumma". I am yet to hear better versions of astronomy domine and careful with that axe. Not a great album overall but it contains some absolute gems.
Going to by honest, my favorite Pink Floyd albums are in order Division Bell, Animals and Meddle. They just speak to me in a way nothing else does.
I think part 4 of saucerful really was a vision of their future
Saw this years ago, had to come back and find this to watch you guys again-probably my favorite reaction video on YT 😄🤙
One of the defining artistic accomplishments of the 20th century.
Apparently The section where it gets all swelly and atmospheric and you hear those near little "dolphin" sounds i like to call them. That is done through David Gilmour's guitar. He sets his guitar unit up with the wah peddle plugged in backwards which creates that iconic seagull/dolphin sound.
This is the song that PINK FLOYD found their sound. Dark Side was to follow this album and we know what happened then. To the top!
Everybody gets a year older.
But nobody flies around the Sun.
The first time I heard this song, when the chorus reprised at the end, I literally looked up and went "Oh my GOD!"
I watched a documentary on pink floyd, they came to the conclusion that this song was about the evolution of man, how we came from the sea onto the land. Some of the lyrics would further substantiate this claim examples being "And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb toward the light" also halfway thru the song there is a section that sounds almost sub-nautical if you know what I mean. Then it slowly builds up to a climax once again. You're right, this whole thing is a journey, the journey of our evolution! It is a masterpiece!
A day in your life. Your started with a slow heartbeat it escalated thru the day, then sleep and dreamed, the heartbeat started again, then you woke up and started the day again, what could be more pleasing but to have a heartbeat.
Look at the left guy's face when the vocal got back. That was exactly my face when I listen to Echoes for the first time
Absolutely gorgeous, again!!! Wow you guys know some really good music!!!!
Has there been any other band in the history of Rock that has been able to pull off a 20+ minute song since this masterpiece? If so I's like to hear it.
