That's a simple but effective way to rate their songs! Pink Floyd's music often transcends traditional ratings, don't they? Unique brilliance. 🎶 Thank you for watching!
My favourite song ever written. Roger Waters is absolute lyrical genius. The last verse always had me goosebumps. Cloudless everyday You fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no one sings me lullabies And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide Call to you across the sky Anw, Great reaction sir.
A+ bro . one of the best live shows ever done.... no over production to distract from four pieces in perfect arrangement. no lights or glamour except for the music. They made sure as part of the production that all the footage would be truthful and actual of each song. very good stuff. As for each artist playing, I feel that Richard wright is forever under-rated. his effects and timings are superb throughout, simple yet punctual and efficient, as well as his general song arrangement, his pacing and construction, as he did most of that work for the band until toward the end. Waters bass is very gratifying and solid as a rock. This was his first outing as the band lyricist. still washes of Sid blended in there somewhere too. But he certainly did a great job of sacrificing himself during this workout of a song, with at least two super speed burn runs...very good. Of course David Gilmore delivers most of the surprises, and some of his solos move me to higher levels of attention. Especially the second half of his first solo. However Nick Mason is the king of this song. His fills and placement is unlike so many normal drummers.And we get to see him, which is not the case later in the careers. For much of the song he was emphasising the tension perfectly with a nice stick flip during the back end of Gilmore's first solo. very stylish move to be doing live, truly authentic. All that with a dirty walrus moustache!! fully sick bro haha xx
It's true, Pink Floyd's performance in Pompeii is legendary, with a raw and honest presentation that lets the music shine. Richard Wright's contributions often go overlooked, but his precision and creativity are essential to the band's sound. And Nick Mason's drumming, complete with stylish stick flips, adds a unique flair that elevates the entire performance. Plus, can't forget David Gilmour's soul-stirring solos! It's a masterclass in musicianship all around. And yes, that walrus mustache adds some extra flair! 😄🎸
Dave Gilmour sings lead, Rick Wright provides harmony. Because of the way it was edited, most get fooled. A great example of not always believing what you initially see.
Interesting, seems like DG and RW did a lot of heavy (rythym, lead and soul) lifting in the early musicality for PF. No offence to Nick Mason. And RW? Genius level song writing, although very dark. But that was the times. Thanks for the intel and watching.
Told ya! lol, as others will tell you, there is a part 2 as well. Your description of what the song means is exactly what Roger said it was about. Human connection. I recommend also listening to the studio version. I always thought this song sounded like the beginning of life, coming from the ocean, finding connection with other humans-our innate need to connect with others. I guess I went a little too deep in my interpretation, lol. But that is what PF does and why they are the best band of all time.
@pommie5093 - You're not alone in your interpretation. That's exactly how I've always interpreted the meaning of the song as well. I've always felt the middle section of the full version is actually a look back to primordial times. Ancient seabirds calling to each other and winds blowing through a 100ft tall cliff in the form of a cul-de-sac. Then with the climb and crescendo leading into the second verse, is a fast forward through time, back to the present.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Pink Floyd's music really dives deep, doesn't it? I love how their songs can mean different things to different people. I'll be sure to give the studio version a listen too. Keep on rockin'! 🎸 Thank you for watching!
I totally see what you mean about the middle section feeling like a journey through ancient times. Thanks for sharing your interpretation! 🌌 Thank you for watching!
The opening was cut a bit, there's that single piano note that sounds like sonar repeated with what sounds like random piano notes until it builds into the melody. Lyrics start with "everything green is submarine" and goes onto "climbs towards the light" seems to reference the beginning of all life on the entire planet. Then jumps to the "strangers passing in the street" where we can see echoes of our common ancestry in every other person, that we are all deeply related to each other. Then we have the instrumental that eventually breaks down into Part 2 with a really abstract sound scape maybe representing time without human beings before we come back to the need to open windows and call out to each other. So just a little song about the entire history of the human race and how we should strive to be better humans beings.
That's a brilliant analysis! It beautifully captures the depth and complexity of "Echoes," highlighting its evocative storytelling. Thank you for sharing your insights!
I had to laugh Larry when you said it's quite empty they might renovate it later. Larry it's an historical roman amphitheatre and has remained so since roman times. Pink Floyd were given special permission by the local mayor to actually even play there.
They (David Gilmour) played there again in 2016 with an audience. It had to be renovated in order to accommodate a live performance with that audience. This went through my head as I was initially watching. Thanks for watching.
You still haven't heard the whole thing. There's a part 2 to this. Or you can listen to the entire 24ish minute rendition all at once on the Meddle album. Truly is a masterpiece.
I had no idea until the comments started rolling in. I'm def. going to take a deep dive on this entire performance. Thanks for the insight and watching.
Historical site, no vehicles allowed, everything was hand carried in through that one small entrance tunnel. A lot the original film was misplaced/lost during the trip back to London hence the incomplete weird transitions and editing and lack of Roger in the scences
You need to go back and really carefully watch when David Gilmour is playing the guitar at the beginning and they have that split screen with him and Nick Mason the drummer, right in the middle of playing the drums he flips one stick in the air catches it on the fly & just keeps drumming like nothing happened!!
Had to have a laugh when you said take note fellow guitarists. I did take a note back in the seventies it was one of the first songs I ever learned how to play!
Andrew Lloyd Webber ripped off the main riff of this song for his musical "Phantom of the Opera." PF didn't sue him, although they could have. This was actually filmed in '71 and released in '72; it's an entire performance. Filmmaker/director Adrian Maben arranged for Pink Floyd to play at the ancient amphitheater at Pompeii. As you can see, the result was legendary.
That's an intriguing connection! It's fascinating how music can inspire across different genres (legit or not). Pink Floyd's performance at Pompeii is indeed legendary. Thank you for sharing this insight!
Wow, that's quite a behind-the-scenes story! It just shows the lengths they went to for their performance. Thanks for sharing that interesting tidbit! 🎸 Thank you for watching!
I only have 3 ratings for all Pink Floyd songs. Good, Great, Masterpiece.

Cloudless everyday
You fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise

Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
Call to you across the sky
Anw, Great reaction sir.
Yes, this is indisputable. It's stunning that PF went on without him with some little success. But, PF with his writing are unbeatable.

72 the year i was born : ) love pink floyd
What a great year to be born! Pink Floyd's music is timeless, isn't it? Thanks for sharing!

@@ianfortier6796 Exactly!! So glad to find someone else who had the same thoughts. Thank you for your comment, it means a lot!

@pommie5093 you're welcome! Reading you had the same take meant a lot to me as well. It's sort of a validation. 😊

i love it! you should watch their live version of "one of these days" too live at pompeii, there maybe the greatest drum play of Nick Mason
Thank you for the tip. This is new territory on my end. I’ll definitely check it out.
I was going to recommend the exact same thing! One Of These Days for sure!
you got the meaning on point man, well done.
Thank you, I was skeptical of my idea 💡 - thanks for watching 😁
Wow. Sublime.
Perfect word. Thank you for watching!

Nick pulling off tricks like that without missing a beat:) Thanks for pointing out those little details! 🥁 Thank you for watching!

The Venue had insufficient power for what they needed. They had to run a 1-mile cable from the town hall and paid security guards to guard it
Wow, that's quite a behind-the-scenes story! It just shows the lengths they went to for their performance. Thanks for sharing that interesting tidbit! 🎸 Thank you for watching!
you have to try "live in Gdansk" version🖖
Agreed, just scratching the surface. Thanks for the intel and watching.
Scusa, non conosco l' inglese , ma spero che tu mi capisca , dovresti guardare la versione di Gilmour di Gdansk è semplicemente eccezionale
Grazie mille per il suggerimento! Cercherò sicuramente la versione di Gilmour a Gdansk. Sembra eccezionale! Grazie per aver guardato il canale! 🎸
There's a big ol bunch of this song missing
Part 2 coming soon. Thanks for watching.
You only did half of the song. There is a part 2.
You're absolutely right! Part 2 will be fun to cover on this epic journey of the song in its entirety. Thank you for pointing that out!
That’s only half the song.
You're right! Thank you for highlighting that! I've got more 'happy' work ahead with part 2
