hi guys!! glad to see you are enjoying this video, maybe you will enjoy also listening to The Embryo by Floyd check it out: th-cam.com/video/YaprUQnS3DA/w-d-xo.html
I couldn't take your comment for granted either. I took my Telecaster off, placed it in it's stand and had to reply. Thank you for reminding me of the gifts we have received.
@Jeremy Marple...Do you realise your comment is now just over say bout 3 years old. I agree with the other 2 replies and all they say. Jeremy, I ask you this question; Do you know where the inspiration was found to create this exstrodenary song? It's just as amazing as the original version, plus all the other versions that follow. Thank you for the very meaningful words you gave to all of us, reminding us to never forget. Take Care and Be Well. D.J.G. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
This is an incredible performance and arrangement. Just WOW! Funny how everyone on the comment section is praising Gilmour but few mentioned Wright's organ playing on this performance. The melodies, harmonies, counterpoint, timbre, patience, accompaniment etc..., just wonderful to sink my ears into it. The way he lifts Gilmour onto a floating cloud, with so much feeling. Never overplaying. Super soulful and gentle. Just listen...
I was lucky enough to be at the recording of this song back in September 1971 when I was a mere 17 year old. The performance took place at the BBC Paris studio for the In concert programme hosted by John Peel. This was their opening number and the concert also featured One of These Days and Echoes I regularly attended these John Peel hosted concerts which were recorded on Thursday evenings and broadcast on Radio 1 on Sunday afternoons. Amongst the other bands that I saw were Rod Stewart and the Faces, Deep Purple, Supertramp, Fairport Convention, Humble Pie, Roxy Music, T Rex, Family, Atomic Rooster......plus many many more. A fantastic time and all for free as tickets for BBC recordings were complimentary. All you had to do was keep writing in to apply, include a stamped addressed envelope and four tickets would be sent to you by return post. Amazing!
I used to listen to the Peel Sessions in Paris in the early 80s. That guy did more for music than many. I heard Tears for Fears before they were even out of England. I can't believe you were at that recording session. That is hard to top for me. Good to hear. Thanks
+Asmita Verma You're S0 right! Seen them live 1987, 1988, 1994, Waters The Wall 2012, Four days David Gilmour live in Chicago! He will be playing this I think! In US set list, if so will put video into group "Into The Floyd" on Facebook! Come join the fun!
Gilmour has a heart and soul when playing Guitar. He describes a story in the solo. Others just play riffs. Its a major difference. I try to do that in my own, but who knows. Gilmour has been my inspiriation
You read what he says about his style, he wasn't the fastest player or anything like that . It's the emotion that comes from his playing, so expressive full of emotion.
David played a solo on these early BBC recordings that drove me for 20 years. I never forgot what could be done. I will never forget. I still play guitar still, and I still relish in these recordings. They remind me of when I was wondering what the hell is he doing. I know now, but it never changes the magic.
Perhaps -technically-. Mason isn't the most "trained" drummer... (He even admits to having zero training)- But- He -feels- the music and gives the music such a perfect heartbeat, that it is just a perfect, crisp part of Pink Floyd--I find His playing amazing........
I'm a huge Gilmour fan but I will readily admit that the band worked because of the four of them. Pink Floyd officially died with the passing of Richard Wright. No one will ever fill his shoes. R I P Richard
could not have said it better. Just listen to the difference between Fat Old Sun and the work on The Wall and Final Cut where Rick's input is minimal or non-existent. You can hear Pink Floyd's dependence on Rick's input to make the band "Pink Floyd"
after listening to this i went outside and saw the sunset. i sat for maybe about 2 hours playing this song over and over in my head. my mother was busy cooking, dad was working, my sister was studying and all that i wanted to do was die listening to this song while staring into the hazy gaze of the sunset wondering whether mankind will ever realize whats truly important. then the fat old sun fell as i cried thinking about this.
Life is truly important and our planet, happily there is great hope for our planet despite the current situation. Our Creator has designed our planet to survive and life upon it will survive, it's wonderful to observe the genius of God's creation and appreciate his many wonders. I have always loved this song as well as Grantchester Meadows on Ummagumma as well as others.
One of my favorite Pink Floyd performances. But I must add that this song would not be as great as it is without the exquisite Richard Wright. His contributions to PF are often overlooked. God rest his talented soul.
ive never overlooked him or anyone. without rick there couldnt be a floyd and roger was just ignorent asf back then. i love rick on every single album and he truly made some master piece work for them. endless river really shows his side of floyd expecially on side 3!!
I love their interwoven instruments- Roger's bass leading the dark tunes alongside David's amazing guitar.. Richard's amazing keyboards spinning in and out... All strongly/softly by Nick's on pointe drumming... I've loved this music for 50+years..! ❤️
Pink Floyd are probably the only band that can consistently make live versions of a song better than the album, this and Echoes at Pompeii being the best examples of that theory.
It just fills my heart with joy. The band that brings me joy, accompanies me in times of desparation, gives me hope and makes sure to let me know everything will be fine. I can't see myself without Pink Floyd
When David Gilmour puts on his duck face I can just close my eyes and feel his soul ooze out through the strings. I don't know that I can say that of anyone else, and there are a lot of great artists out there. Gilmour is truly in a league of his own.
He really is. Different level than anyone. I've seen lots of great musicians, live, and he is just alien. I've seen Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Billy Gibbons, Buddy Guy, Carlos Santana, Phil Keaggy, B.B. King, Warren Haynes, Stevie Winwood, Jerry Garcia, and many many more play live. None of it ever was 1/4 as great as David Gilmour.
Out of all the time and places I could be living in this wonderful universe, I'm thankful I live during a time and place that I can listen to this masterpiece..
Yes, Imagine. I am you and you are me...😮😊😊😊 And everyone else. WE are all one...❤ Coneectet to ore with the source 😊 I am German and i am learning English....❤ And i Love the world and Pink Floyd....😂🎉😂😂🎉😊😊❤🍀
This one of the few examples, where the Pink Floyd re-invented a song especially for the live performance. It is more rock-oriented, it is more room for improvisation. Pink Floyd are the masters of dynamic rock performances. Sometimes very lyric and tender and then again explosive-ecstatic
This song was considered for Floyd's "Best of" album "Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd 2001". Gilmour confirmed it in an interview and shared he made a case for it, but no Atom Heart Mother songs are represented on ""Echoes". When Floyd's manager, Steve O'Rourke died in 2003, "Fat Old Sun" and "Great Gig In The Sky" were played by Gilmour, Richard Right and Nick Mason at his funeral. High praise indeed.
Here's the paragraph from Wikipedia. Gilmour liked the song so much. He wanted it on the Album. O'Rourke didn't want the song on the album, but I take he liked the song and it meant a lot to him and the band.
jsvkia1 From Wikipedia - This song was one of several to be considered for the band's "best of" album, Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd (2001), as remarked by James Guthrie, the producer of Echoes. Gilmour himself confirmed this story on Johnnie Walker's Radio 2 drivetime show in 2002 that he had made a case for this song to be included, but was out-voted and the album Atom Heart Mother goes unrepresented on that album. "Fat Old Sun" is perhaps best described as a pastoral, a hymn of praise to the countryside (as several early Pink Floyd songs were, such as "Grantchester Meadows" from Ummagumma and "Green Is the Colour" from More). The bell sounds heard at the beginning and the end of the song were later used again in "High Hopes" from their album The Division Bell and in "Louder than Words" from their album The Endless River. When the Floyd's manager, Steve O'Rourke, died in 2003, Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason played "Fat Old Sun" and "The Great Gig in the Sky" at O'Rourke's funeral.
Lady BlackstarDust And it’s such a beautiful song. Last thing at night or on a Sunday morning. Classic Floyd. Davids voice on Remember that Night (I think that’s when he played it) was amazing.
I'm so far up David Gilmour's ass that he could play one note and I'd be like "holy shit that was the best thing I've ever heard 10/10". So THIS is just perfection to me.
I'm absolutely obsessed with Dave too, but don't let Rick Wright go by the wayside here. He is phenomenal on this particular rendition of this fantastic song.
Bainbridge 40...That's F_cking GREAT❗ Love ur honesty through ur HUMOR❗....💯Very Funny my friend, Thank you...D.J.G.🔺™ BRAVO....!! Keep Listing I'm pleased you enjoy the music❗❗ Take Care and Be Well..🇬🇧🇺🇸🌍™
His voice and playing was the voice of god to me. I had all this u tube stuff on bootleg when I was 13 or older in 1983 plus or maybe a bit earlier but since I was 7 I used to listen to obscured by clouds before going to 2and or 3rd grade
This version it's just glorious. It takes everything that made Fat Old Sun an amazing tune and magnifies it. Stretches it. It's just pure genius. Wanna listen the song note by note? Go listen the godamn album!
He just has such a gorgeous voice and style… and his guitar playing? well lol we don’t even have time to get into all that here… for me he’s the ultimate, the epitome of masterclass. Timeless and bursting with talent. 🤍 He sings like an angel
Without doubt the best live version of FOS ever recorded. And one could argue the BBC 1971 recording is the best ever live recording of the band - it is all amazing.
I've been listening to Floyd for damn near 40 years. I have heard a lot of their songs, but Fat Old Sun is still my favorite. What a great song. Peace!!!!
Fat Old Sun & Echoes. A pair of tunes from almost 45 years ago, that are still in a league of their own, or better yet, different ballgame all together. Just beautifully crafted and perfectly composed pieces, from the only band that could ever deliver such works.
best FOS version ever...b-y f-a-r-!!!! Hope more Pink Floyd fanatics would hear this rendering from the Atom Heart Mother classic...classic and amazing!
Had taped this on a cassette back in 1991. Would get home from work in the summer and as the Mrs was preparing supper would take the 4 kids on a 1/2 hour ride on the surrounding country roads west of Roseville IL. This was the 1st song played in that 1984 Dodge P/U. Windows down cassette player turned up and cruising 35-45 mph down country lanes. I'll never forget it. Kids ranged from 13 to 3 back then. 3 oldest definitely remember those evening drives, the baby not so much. But they are Good memories for me of the music and my alone time with my 4 children.
@@briansutton3088 well, Gilmour and basically every guitar player thought Hendrix was from snotjer planet on guitar so he probably was heavily influenced by him
You hear David growing increasingly frustrated and nervous with the vocals until he hits the guitar solo where he stomps the song in outrage and comes back with a victorious return, freshly charged.
I know someone has probably said this before. weather your favorite band member, Pink Floyd would not of made the impact they have without all of there talents together, yes even Syd. So stop arguing and just sit back and enjoy the music for what it is, and that is a work of art.
Su musica original y fina. Amo a pink floyd.Los 5 son lo maximo, cada uno en su momento como un engrenaje. Por eso llego hacer una excelente banda.Desde Mexico mi admiracion.
Actually this particular version as done 9/30/71 At the Paris Theater in London. The set was........... 1. Introduction 2. Fat Old Sun 3. One Of These Days 4. Echoes 5. Blues
indeed, another reason why he is my favorite, to hear his mastery on the newer dvd's especially of this song, but i think one longs to hear this as well, he was charming in his younger experience.
Richard Wright is the heart of this, at least to me. HIs playing and use of keyboards really makes this stand out. This was hardly using any Buchlas or Moogs at the time. Lots of ring modulators and loops. Wow, the rest of the and is so great, too, but Richard really plays the daylights out of that Hammond.
I could listen to this 5x in a row. This performance has got to be one of the high water marks for one of the best rock bands ever. Absolutely other-worldly. Pink Floyd 1st in space!
Had the very distinct pleasure of attending back to back David Gilmour concerts in Toronto Mar 31 and April 1st 2016 and the version of Fat Old Sun was mind blowing. The man is still so very much on top of his game. (entire concert was amazing both night)
hi guys!!
glad to see you are enjoying this video,

I like "Librest spacement monitor" much more but yeah studio version is great too
So these were studio outtakes pre-Atom Heart?? Sounds like 1969-70??

Caw job
PiNkyFloYD, thank you sir! Can one still get these old albums please??
This version of Fat Old Sun always helps me calm while having panic attacks, it's like the sounds connect to my soul and erase the bad things
Pink Floyd and music are the best companions on a cloudy day, on a bad day
bravo

Correcting my reply from a few minutes before,it was in'72 at D.U., Denver.
I am literally crying.. I forgot how good this feels, to get consumed by the talent of Floyd

To have seen Roxy Music at that time and place is beyond cool.
You lucky bro, i wasnt even alive in the 70s but I saw david live performing in vienna in 2016
Back in the 80's, we would have gotten two trains, 4 busses and walked 10 mile to hear this if we knew somebody, who knew somebody, who had a copy.
Pink Floyd is literally the most impossible band ever. Making their own live versions sound better than the studio ones and shit. Pure genius!
+Asmita Verma Can I just say that you look so cute and have great taste as well!! Kudos!! ;)

My absolute favorite version of this beautiful song! David, as always, sounds magnificent, but RICHARD!!! The man just.....SHINES!!❤❤
By far, the best musical band ever assembled. Their music is timeless, where each generation continues to discover this band's beauty.

You read what he says about his style, he wasn't the fastest player or anything like that . It's the emotion that comes from his playing, so expressive full of emotion.
Doubt it

An amazing guitarist and vocalist, Gilmour is exceptional and I have always loved this song.
One of the finest versions of Fat Old Sun.
James Ratto la mejor versión creo
+yonathan sinfonia Será? Cada una tiene lo suyo, yo no me quedaría con una en especial.

Dear richard wright.
i hope u'r in heaven playing keyboards to god
rock in peace

His heaven full with white snow and keyboards faraway from Roger...
what's with roger ? :D
Hesham MoHameD Roger just throw him away from Pink Floyd.
@@angeld9997 What about Jon Lord?
Another classic from their greatest period that demonstrates just how important Mason and Wright were to their sound.
Anyone who thinks Mason Or Wright were not important is probably a Roger or David fanboy.
Perhaps -technically-. Mason isn't the most "trained" drummer... (He even admits to having zero training)- But- He -feels- the music and gives the music such a perfect heartbeat, that it is just a perfect, crisp part of Pink Floyd--I find His playing amazing........

There will be a time when good music will rise again , I hope.
Amazing how this started as a blues song performed almost by Gilmour alone in the studio, and it became a full band prog performance live.
Pink Floyd are probably the only band that can consistently make live versions of a song better than the album, this and Echoes at Pompeii being the best examples of that theory.

He really is. Different level than anyone. I've seen lots of great musicians, live, and he is just alien. I've seen Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Billy Gibbons, Buddy Guy, Carlos Santana, Phil Keaggy, B.B. King, Warren Haynes, Stevie Winwood, Jerry Garcia, and many many more play live. None of it ever was 1/4 as great as David Gilmour.
Amen.
Out of all the time and places I could be living in this wonderful universe, I'm thankful I live during a time and place that I can listen to this masterpiece..
David was still young, and developing his style back then. But yet he still can bring a tear to the eye. He is amazing, and a great man.
This is the best version of Fat Old Sun I have ever heard.
Absolutely amazing
50 years today!

Gilmour's guitar is perfect, almost heavenly, Richard's work flawless, but no one talks about how fucking amazing that Roger bass sounds.
This one of the few examples, where the Pink Floyd re-invented a song especially for the live performance. It is more rock-oriented, it is more room for improvisation. Pink Floyd are the masters of dynamic rock performances. Sometimes very lyric and tender and then again explosive-ecstatic

Patrick B Second only to the solo on Time imo. Why do guitar solos hurry? There's no need, no need at all. We all have ... time ...
Oh wow.. I just found this, and it's just absolutely incredible! I had no idea this version existed. Fantastic !!!!
"The Embryo" live recording of that period is equally STUNNING. Search for it ...
I have been looking for this version of this song for many years now, and I finally stumbled upon it, at long last! Thank you, rock gods.. Pink Floyd
His phrasing is second to none. Every note perfectly placed.
Without doubt the best live version of FOS ever recorded. And one could argue the BBC 1971 recording is the best ever live recording of the band - it is all amazing.
Pink Floyd es súper adictivo quien escucha Pink Floyd se engancha hasta la muerte!!!!!
I've listened to this song in many forms. This has to be the best version I've ever heard. WOW!!!!!
🤝❤️👍👍👍 It's stunningly beautiful and very mesmerizing! Brings back the best memories of my life! Bravo! 🙏💫
I could listen to his voice for eternity. I love this version. I adore Pink Floyd. Perfect Sunday jam 💚

Fat Old Sun & Echoes. A pair of tunes from almost 45 years ago, that are still in a league of their own, or better yet, different ballgame all together. Just beautifully crafted and perfectly composed pieces, from the only band that could ever deliver such works.
Epic track. One of my favourites.
Wow...this is an incredible find! Thank you for uploading such a fantastic live version of this great song!
This is pure poetry ...rather than enjoying its more about feeling it.
This is my favorite version of this tune. Had it on a bootleg LP years ago.
Fellow Floydians, May I ask You, HOW COULD SOMEONE GIVE THIS MASTERPIECE OF MUSIC A THUMBS DOWN???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
They must have "Brain Damage"
Best version of fat old Sun
best FOS version ever...b-y f-a-r-!!!! Hope more Pink Floyd fanatics would hear this rendering from the Atom Heart Mother classic...classic and amazing!
What genius music. Gilmour is the prodigal son of the heavens don't know what gets him when he's got the guitar
A true summers evening chill out tune. Performed by one of music's legendary band's RIP Rick Wright an integral part of Pink Floyd's sound's 🎉🎉
Nothing else even comes close to the Epic beauty that is Pink Floyd!

Kids ranged from 13 to 3 back then. 3 oldest definitely remember those evening drives, the baby not so much. But they are Good memories for me of the music and my alone time with my 4 children.
Una de las canciones más hermosas de los Floyd.
La capacidad de ponerte nostálgico es increíble!
Soy Floydiano de corazón!
that first guitar solo at 420 is fuzztastic. David Gilmour played with so much soul.
Beautiful song. Perfectly encapsulates the feeling of watching a setting sun.
Travelling without moving.
Richard at his peak, the key solo is heaven and a perfect example of the Floyds melting magic... eternal Grace, r.i.p. Rick
It's my favorite version - thank you
SONG! Pure feeling, sharing is simple fantastic!
Rick and Dave are both great in this performence..
Course, it is one of the best performance of this song.
Such a beautiful and peaceful song with and awesome Hendrix style solo, perfect!
Gilmour style
@@briansutton3088 well, Gilmour and basically every guitar player thought Hendrix was from snotjer planet on guitar so he probably was heavily influenced by him
Una delle mie preferite! Questa versione è meravigliosa. Che nostalgia dei Pink Floyd e delle emozioni che ho legato alle loro canzoni. Li amo!
You hear David growing increasingly frustrated and nervous with the vocals until he hits the guitar solo where he stomps the song in outrage and comes back with a victorious return, freshly charged.
THERE IS PINK FLOYD AND 5 MILES AWAY THE REST OF THE MUSIC

well well said
You mean 1000 miles
I live in the Pink Floyd universe
nice birthday present for myself. Thankyou
What a gem, Dave Gilmours soaring strat always takes me to a special place. Only Dave could write such a beautiful verse about a nightingale.
Couldn’t agree more, exhilarating
It's no wonder that David Gilmore was called the greatest guitar soloist in Rock n Roll. What a virtuoso!
I love PF live and extended versions. They added so much more to already great songs. This and Childhood's End are my favourites.
unforgettable performance, I think the best one.
This audio was posted on 2010 sep 11, on my 41st year old birthday...Not a coincidence!!! I love Pink Floyd!!!
Like a soft psichedelic lullaby this song free my mind
Hope you don't mind, but I have to steal that. A soft psychodelic lullaby!!!!!
He played this in Chicago 2016 gave me goosebumps and eyes tear up it was that powerful. Just wish Richard was there.
I know someone has probably said this before. weather your favorite band member, Pink Floyd would not of made the impact they have without all of there talents together, yes even Syd. So stop arguing and just sit back and enjoy the music for what it is, and that is a work of art.
music is an art....
Faross indeed, bro.
Yer but Sid was only their for the first two albumns and then he left to join another band or something I can't rememember
He psyched out with drugs and mental issues and Gilmour joined full time
Well maybe to you, but to me he joined another band and thats why I don't like him or Def Leppard. I guess we are both right in our own minds.
Su musica original y fina. Amo a pink floyd.Los 5 son lo maximo, cada uno en su momento como un engrenaje. Por eso llego hacer una excelente banda.Desde Mexico mi admiracion.
Great version of great song. Thanks very much
First time hearing this, I'm gonna have to play drums to this Saturday
sem palavras para ouvir tanta emocào. 43 anos a tras
The studio recording was already great but this one tops it, marvellous!
Actually this particular version as done 9/30/71 At the Paris Theater in London. The set was...........
1. Introduction
2. Fat Old Sun
3. One Of These Days
4. Echoes
5. Blues
This is beautiful!!
pre-dark side of the moon david gilmour doesn't get enough exposure... one of his best songs and one of his best guitar solo's!
So so true
indeed, another reason why he is my favorite, to hear his mastery on the newer dvd's especially of this song, but i think one longs to hear this as well, he was charming in his younger experience.
Richard Wright is the heart of this, at least to me. HIs playing and use of keyboards really makes this stand out. This was hardly using any Buchlas or Moogs at the time. Lots of ring modulators and loops. Wow, the rest of the and is so great, too, but Richard really plays the daylights out of that Hammond.
this such a great 1 by the 1 & only....I have never heard this version before...and it"s LIVE back when this came out, 70" or 69'
I could listen to this 5x in a row. This performance has got to be one of the high water marks for one of the best rock bands ever. Absolutely other-worldly. Pink Floyd 1st in space!
Had the very distinct pleasure of attending back to back David Gilmour concerts in Toronto Mar 31 and April 1st 2016 and the version of Fat Old Sun was mind blowing. The man is still so very much on top of his game. (entire concert was amazing both night)
Seen him in Chicago, April 8th! Mind/body numbing!
Shame he skipped over Edmonton between Vancouver and Toronto. That pissed me off rightly.
Love you David.
