- Pink Floyd performing at the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii , Italy
he main footage in and around the amphitheatre was filmed over four days in October 1971, using the band's regular touring equipment, including studio-quality 24-track tape recorders. Additional footage filmed in a Paris television studio the following December was added for the original 1972 release. The film was then re-released in 1974
he film has subsequently been released on video numerous times, and in 2003 a "Director's Cut" DVD appeared which combines the original footage from 1971 with more contemporary shots of space and the area around Pompeii

Everyone doing ok? Floyd is medicine for the mind
Damnnn it's true
Always nice to get in some Floyd time.
need the bass solo
how you doing
I'm going to be honest, at first this song was interminable to listen to, after some time, I got hooked and kept incessantly listening to it, something about this song is so beautiful...
I went to Pompei just to stand in the very same spot where they stood. I was listening to Pink Floyd in my headphones, it was absolutely epic! Then I went to Naples and had a pizza.
i was the pizza
@@bebedordecoca rip bro
I went to Florence and on my first night there there was an outdoor cinema playing this concert. Heaven ❤️
i did the same, but my pizza was in Capri.
I piza
This arena was built in the year 70BC just for this performance
totally agree
Oh yes your real smart like hey let's build this because 1000 yrs pink Floyd will play here brilliant lack of brain cells...lol
Ha!
And so worht the wait..
They were planning ahead
I was only in my 20 when this happened. Today I am 70 and I feel the same enthusiasm when I heard this music in this place...
Floyd are timeless, I started to listen to them when I was 6/7. I'm now 46 and love their music more each time I hear them. Their music has literally saved my life on dark, dark days.
@@mrmillton4478 they are indeed, i am 17 and listen to them since i was 13 and dont plan stopping doing it.
Happy belated 70th chap ✌🏼
Six years younger. And same thing.
I ate a panini in that theatre in 2019. My family are from that part of Italy. Amazing video and music!
Outstanding drumming by Nick Mason!
Nick is King of drums..
I couldn't agree more. I wish I had played drums this good when I was a young drummer..... in the sixties!
He's so underrated imo...
This was his pinnacle!!
David Gilmore genius on guitar .
The universe is over 14 billion years old and everyone watching this video was lucky enough to exist with Pink Floyd.
So true, we are truly blessed.
Amen to that lovely fact...been loving their music for about 45 years now..this is my favorite of all their albums,I think.Definately trippy, the accoustics of the empty coliseum are amazing!!!!🥰❤💯
I saw a youtube comment that was so beautiful, it made me teary-eyed. 🥺
A man wrote: "In 1972, as a teenager, I sat in a dark room, smoking a joint, listening to Pink Floyd on my headphones. Here I am, 50 years later, doing the exact same thing. I'm blessed to have lived during the time of Pink Floyd."
Oh so true my friend
Saucers full of secrets...
The sound engineer deserves a Nobel peace prize for this
Probably never see anything like this again...epic song played in an epic place very cool to watch
@radyoaktifayran58 weu. 🌮
they had at least 10 engineers, some of them have their own wikipedia page
The vocals were overdubbed in the studio.
Yes. but he died 2000 years ago!!!
I love how you can click on a video uploaded 7 years ago, of a 50 year old performance, and find comments left 20 minutes ago. :)
Doesnt that just confirm the INFINITE GREATNESS OF PINK FLOYD!

Yes indeed ,but make sure you have headphones on.!
I love your comment. The music is literally mesmerising
@@anyagoodman5408 👍🏻😉
Hm. This is surely one of the best phrases that describes pink floyd that Ive ever read.
How can music like this be written? How far ahead their minds were? This is absolute magic.
pink floyd is a seperate music genre
Yeah, dear ELENA❤ ; YOU'RE SOOO RIGHT!! MUSIC NOT OF THIS WORLD ~ BUT FROM A FAR OFF GALAXY ! ! ! 😊 BERNIE GERMANY (ALSO BOLLYWOOD LOVER 🎉!). GREET YOU / BYE 😊
This was the moment the band really jelled into the perfect unit! Everyone was on their top game! They tried this on Atom Heart Mother, but wasn’t ready yet. It all came together HERE!!
They were out of this World!
Astounding! Miraculous! Brilliant! What talent!
This is the best sounding version of this song......and they did it live......what an amazing band.
They have didn't they? A beautiful experiment
it's great, just a shame they didn't go through with the haunting sea fog part which is supposed to be in the middle ??
shoutouts to whatever engineers set up the recording!!
I know, it’s insane. My favourite version also. 👍
They couldn’t of picked a better place either! Pompeii is very interesting!
I can never get tired of 60’s and 70’s classic rock.
They'll never ever be anything else like it
Rock будет жить вечно.
True, but this is more than that
It’s funny bc I don’t like most classic rock, but Pink Floyd I just can’t resist
ME TOO, my friend!!!
No way to ignore it for someone, who really LOVES music!!!
The older I get the more I realize Pink Floyd is the greatest band of all time
greatest psych rock of all time - no doubt!
This is a fact. I have visions of my entire past present and sometimes even future listening to this band. No other band brings me on a trip that’s even close to what this band does. They’re truly therapeutic legends and will never be forgotten
Time innit.
Timeless
Timeless.
Pink Floyd is not a Band. It’s a phenomenon. Every chord, every riff, every drum beat, every cymbal, every word is a Masterpiece!
I still think pink Floyd are the embassadors of the earth in the universe
@@VSMartins398 so true 👍
Except for a big chunk of the final cut and a momentary lapse of reason
real¡¡¡
Psychedelic. Pink Floyd. There was no music like this on Earth before they came. They are not people of this world. Their masterpiece is inexplicable.
The fact That we still listen to this song 48 years later after its release makes this band legendary
I think its actually 50 years

Greatest performance ever! Just pure genius. Thank you David, Roger, Richard and Nick.
Estimado, vea y escuche Alturas de Machu Pichu del grupo LOS JAIVAS, es tan bueno o mejor que Ecos de PINK FLOYD
And Syd
Pink Floyd was so far ahead of their time in 1970 that they showed the world what a concert in 2020 would look like
Thats really funny...and disturbing. I agree lol
@@cameronlowrey9371 gracefully pink floyd and the jaivas respected each other, both listened to their records.

It`s rather like 2035 than 2020
Who knew ? anything about what has happened in 2020/21.
Most bands play for an audience. Floyd plays for the gods
For sure.
💯
@Caring Mouse Led Zeppelin fan here but this is an absolutely epic masterpiece in music 🎶 🎵
I disagree, pink Floyd plays for the universe
The first time I watched this video, my friends explained it to me while we were eating umm brownies. they are playing for the dead of the disaster at Pompeii (the ghosts obliterated in place without warning). Then my young self was like WHOA (didn't associate the volcano with playing to an empty ancient theater, and then it made amazing sense).
I went to Pompeii few days ago, I put my headphones on and played songs from this concert, TDSOTM and Meddle. Amazing experience, I just felt like I was in 1973, didn't even realize the walk lasted almost 4 hours.
I made the same. August of 2009.
Nice...
Mmmm. Time Traveller! 😃
Ahh headphones yes.!
The thing I find most amazing is that they have plaques on the wall commemorating the great event. The locals remember two times in history...Vesuvius and Pink Floyd.
6:26 has to be the most insane groove I have ever heard. I grew up on metallica etc. and was always a "metal" guy but damn, i have never heard anything like this haha I have been nonstop listening to it all week!
My favorite part too
Just came here to say the same thing. So damn good.
genius bass line
Welcome to the dark side boy’s 🎶
A very long time ago we thought the same too 👍
This is 50 years old. I repeat, this is 50 years old.
And surprisingly 50 isn't as old as I thought it would be😎
I was 13 and had all their albums. My friends thought I was weird. Then Dark Side of the Moon came out and I was cool.
the time is frozen for this kind of art. So deep.
And it has dated very well. Amazing song
Ageless timeless 🌠
My pops died last october at the age of 60 from health problems and this was his favorite song. He tought me about music at an early age and to love the classic rock period and I will listen to this song 5 times a week just to think about my pops, the legend and just how absolutely badass he was! I have my first kid due in about a month and I will teach him to love Pink Floyd as well!
Sorry for your loss, great story
This is probably in the top three performances or songs I’ve ever heard. Im 59 and love music including Led Zeppelin. I would place this in the rotating top three greatest songs I’ve ever experienced.
Bless you my child...
kinda cute
amazing words thank you and good luck to you
Not original comment but still true:
The Romans built this amphitheater so Pink Floyd could play this song in it 2000 years later.
Smart people, they knew what they were doing.
Don't ask what the Roman ever did for us!
"Theatrum aedificamus ut Pincus Floidus sonant"
"Pincus- quid?"
I am Spartacus 🤯
Deep
One of the BEST songs ever! But then again all of their songs are sooo good! I still have this album in my collection. Love it!
Pink Floyd is the music of the universe. A million years later, people will still listen to Pink Floyd's music.
Earth & Earthlings will be lucky to survive another 100 yrs on this 3rd rock from the Sun
Timeless as Bach ad Beethoven!! Can't explain why or what no one flies around the sun!!!

@@jussitikkuri6991 Only at night.
What a phenomenal performance. This was Pink Floyd at their best. No egos, no fighting, just four musicians trying to play their instruments the best that they are capable of. This is history as they will never be this way again. Remember one thing, you can’t change time.
Well, Gilmour and Waters always had ego clash.
you can’t change time, time change you
@ kakyoin donut321 time is a byproduct of the space it inhabits, if the space can be altered the time will also be altered.
@@carbocationful yep haha
Ego clashes made music like this
"Strangers passing in the street, by chance two separate glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me". Wow... just incredible.
They come from the land of Keats, Wordsworth & Shakespeare so...
It’s pissing not passing
@@BlastinRope
News to me &, I'd imagine, them!
I think I saw Waters poo-poo the lyrics in an interview once, saying they were “6th Form”. I think he slightly resents the achievement of the GROUP.
Did you notice that when the lyrics are being sung Rick glances over to Dave 👍 best Floyd lyrics ever, and I don't know know a band that comes close to Floyd.
I'm 26 years old, and I discovered Pink Floyd a decade ago. The only reason I'd want to go back in time is to experience a Pink Floyd concert, both during the Syd Barrett era and after. I'm not complaining about the era I was born in; I'm lamenting what I missed out on.
I’m with you!
Nowadays young people have never heard of stuff before 1980, like Led Zeppelin, brilliant, technically excellent and visionary people. today they listen to synthetic products like trappers that last 3 months, made with AI and autotune.....
I'm 54 and wish the same thing.
Boy be pleased that you were already born on that era.
Go see the Nick Mason tours. It's all pre-DSOTM and Sid stuff.
The empty crowd didn't quite make sense until year 2020. Pink Floyd is truly ahead of their time.
Very clever! "Empty crowd"?!?!
@@carlsaganlives4141 fuck u carl sagan
What do you mean empty? They were playing for all the souls of pompeii... So epic btw
@@steveacosta8568 Actually more like because the acoustics were awesome. Still epic.

Thank you David Gilmour for giving us amazing music and remaining humble
Thank you Roger for providing some of the most detailed and meaningful lyrics ever put into a song
Thank you Nick for being able to stick with the band as it’s only constant member, shining through always.
Thank you Rick for taking the harsh words of roger and dealing with being so underrated despite your crucial contributions.
And thank you Syd, for giving Pink Floyd a life-long legacy and giving them a reason to play.
One of the most sublime comments on the internet. Brought a real innocent smile on my face. An emotion I hadn't had in a long time.
Thank You.
Kylie All are equal parts EPIC
rodger had great lyrics on this one !!!
Kylie , this comment is underrated. Bringing tears to my eyes.
Man thank Pink Floyd both past and present. Their music remains and will remain timeless. Already immortalized by innovation they pioneered and many other bands of the time pioneered beautiful era for music. Wonder what our generation of music will have to say about us rn.
Arguably the best Pink Floyd song ever written. The Pompeii version is so much better than the studio version. Gotta love that bass line towards the end.
Sooo true
Yes. :)
No comfortably numb is their best
So true….hearing Richard and David harmonize at the beginning is sublime.
I say that about almost every Pink Floyd song
This video just blows me away every single time I watch it. This is the best music video ever. If the world around me is bringing me down, this always soothes the soul.
Went to Naples and Pompei with the wife. Visited the amphitheater. The wife said, "Wow, over thousand years ago Romans filled this place". I said, 'Ya, but Pink Floyd played here!"
The day I visited it was feckin closed :( For no other reason than bloody David Gilmour, who was performing there that night (See Live at Pompeii 2017). I had absolutely no idea he was performing and we couldn’t get tickets for love nor money. Whenever I watch this video, I think of me stood outside, arms crossed and annoyed that I can’t see inside of the amphitheater, like a social conservative in the 60s 😂
Ah well. I have a funny tale to tell and I can watch the performance anytime on Blu-ray 🎸 👍🏽
@@liberalcannibal2346 did you hear a guitar in the distance?
The Romans filled it over 2.000 years ago. It was built with the idea that Pink Floyd would play there in the future .
Hahaha.
i'm italian ... and i'm from Rome ... i tell you .... yeah PINK FLYD played there ... and history was rewritten by them in that place , absolutely !!!
When you just go around and around and come back to this masterpiece eventually... There is nothing like this anywhere else man.
Bless you my dude
bless you guys
Yeah I took my sister's and brother in law in I think 1974 whatcha movie about this we all took acid I forgotten

The Romans really knew what they were doing when they built that amphitheater.
A true classic never goes out of style
The Ramon's ?
@@josephchilders8316 Or whoever built that particular amphitheater, i don't know if it was the romans.
Pompei was a city near Napoli, it was destroyed by a volcano, there's a museum were you can see people solidified by the lava
The romans built this amphitheater for Pink Floyd.
ive been listening to floyd for over 12 years, since i was 10, and to this day, when i listen to this stuff i BAWL my eyes out, EVERY. TIME. ive listened to thousands of hours of music. went to college for music theory and guitar. to this day, floyd has some of the most unique, chilling, daunting, and sacred music of any band i have ever heard. i will continue to cry to this song until THE gods takes my life. floyd for life. may we stand on the shoulders of the giants that came before us to see higher than any one before. love to all of you. haters and lovers.
Un pur chef d œuvre inégalable à se jour 💚💚

My dad took me to my first concert and it was pink Floyd. Absolutely mind blowing for a kid, I miss my dad
my feelings
Isaac Harper I was born too late to see them, I just barely missed a cherished moment in history
Consider yourself blessed bud! What year?
Your dad was a fucking G my dude, I'd miss him too. Chin up
Which show/year? My first concert ever was Floyd at county stadium in Milwaukee on September 30, 1987. I was 10 years old and we had field passes so you could walk right up to the stage. Me and my dad!
Those two guys in the lawn chairs under the umbrella can claim the coolest most exclusive concert ticket in the history of the rock n roll.
Right up there with those present at "The Rooftop Concert".
Oh yeah ! How many would have loved to be in their place ? Stand in line !
Tripping
...lucky bastards..
..
I don’t care what anyone says this was Pink Floyd’s best song. This is truly the only song in which all four members are completely in sync. It also blends their psychedelic side with their blusey side. And finally in the words of Rick on this song “We found our feet, we figured out we could do this without Syd.” We got Darkside two years later. To put it bluntly Echoes is Pink Floyd
Cheers Geoff
And it fits with 2001 A Space Odyssey too... Look it up!
And yes, it's a real powerhouse. Like Wish You Were Here or Comfortably Numb.
Exactly. Imagine being in the amphitheatre and hearing the reverb, it would be like ghosts of the past.
@@5Cats i agree! Watched it years ago with Echoes and it worked great! You cue the song right when the title comes up for Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite (the final sequence)
Remarkable words "we could do this without Syd". Syd Barrett was the "genius" of Pink Floyd. PF with Syd and PF without - two different bands. "Meddle" (Pompeii concert based mostly on this LP) perhaps was the border between "Syd" and "non Syd" Pink Floyd. It was both psychedelic (like Syd's music) and modern bluesy (like Waters-Gilmour).
Listening to Pink Floyd brings calm to our soul. In this chaotic world, it is at the end of the night that I have some peace. Thank you for existing and making my existence a little less painful.
I’ve tripped many times to this song, but the fact is no trips are necessary. This song is mindblowing all by itself.
Yes
Indeed 🥸
I agree ☝️
dude the first time I saw this I had just gotten insanely stoned for the first time and I legit felt like the piano player/vocalist was Jesus Christ lol. I was so baked I thought Jesus Christ was a vocalist in Pink Floyd.
Tis a fact of life
The section where Roger and Nick drop into that groove and the camera pans around the back of the speakers as Dave smashes out those power chords is surely one of the most iconic moments in rock. Awesome
I'm just amazed how people studiously & wilfully refuse to even acknowledge a nation that produced the Rock playlist for the planet.... Round the back of the speakers where it said - *"PINK FLOYD LONDON!"*

@@quetshupfa meh
sry to say but with Syd Barrett you would have never heared of a Band called Pink Floyd probably
@fullswing Wish you Were and The Wall would never have been made without Syd Barrett as inspiration and subject.
@fullswing well he means that without Syd there would be no wish you were here and the wall becuase those songs were based on his life. He didn't have a direct involvement with the albums nor did he mean to inspire him but he did when he became crazy. I don't like the pre gilmour albums at all or any of Syds work. But you have give him credit for giving the band the boost at the start.
There would be no pink Floyd without Syd.
There would also be no pink Floyd if he stayed though. (well you wouldn't heard of them)
This is probably the greatest thing ever done in rock-and-roll history. Hands down.
I agree
Too bad it's not even rock and roll
Thats a negatory there son.That honour would be Dylan playing electric at the Newport folk festival in 1965.
This isn't rock-and-roll, this is *art.*
"Probably" "hands down"
The fact that this was filmed with nobody in the audience just makes me adore Pink Floyd even more, it gives it this feeling as if this concert withstands the test of time, creating the illusion that the concert is live to anyone who watches it at any time, as they are the only audience spectating.
It really creates a sense of isolation and creates a focus squarely on the band. Question for you. Have you seen Stop Making Sense, the live Talking Heads movie directed by Jonathan Demme? Though there was an audience in attendance, he made a point of never filming the audience. He wanted the focus to be squarely on the band, not unlike this film. I think stuff like this is fascinating.
Actuality is empty because the authority didn't allowed too many people there, they believed that could mess with the whole historical place
There were 3 people in the ampitheater watching as an audience.
You are all wrong. The concert was for the spirits that haunt Pompeii.
@@charlescarver2623 I do feel that they did the concert for the people that were killed when the volcano erupted. (standing room only so to speak)
I was there today what a amazing experience they have a exhibition and photos for the band i grew up listening to Floyd

And now I have I was filled with some much emotions
Thinking of my late brother who gave me the gift of pink Floyd
Hey stranger, if you read this, an Echo from the past, i'll let you know one thing from your present: You really have excellent taste in music.
I can listen to heavy metal, 46 minute long prog rock songs, and Banana Phone and a song about putting Limes in a Coconut and I get an equal amount of enjoyment from all of them. Help.
@@cancercentral9997 As long as there's no Justin Beiber or K-Pop in that list, you are sane.
@@shubhayubasu7695 I mean, Love Yourself was decent, but most of his songs aren't my cup of tea, or coffee as I drink coffee and not tea. I can say he does have a fairly impressive vocal range, but I don't know how much of that is due to post production.

When your band is so epic you get to play a concert exclusively to ancient roman souls

@Guitarslingin Zombiekiller . . . yeah cool huh !
But perfect for recording with all the reverb under control of the engineer instead of some stadium
@Guitarslingin Zombiekiller . . . ahh the good ol days . . . i remember it like it was centuries ago .
What makes this video clip even more special is the pure osmosis and fun they have playing together
How the hell can only 4 guys create music like this is beyond anything I'll ever be able to understand
and so young to boot!
Create, isnt it more factual to think of it as used to create?
Progressive bands do exist outside of story, just not the professional ones.
Are these frequency patterns to scale?
Think of the materials materials that are Pink Floyd.
Syd Barret might be a schizophrenic.
if you listened to it you could swear there's atleast 8 of em
Lets not forget Nick Mason absolutely slaying the drums during this performance...
yes and a big yes
Yeah! And he also slays a mean apple pie. My fave has to be when the camera pans across his kit and he slams that crash in your face.
probably one of the most underrated drummers honestly
I’ve never liked the drum mix though. Too much overhead and not enough snare. Meaning: It’s all cymbals and not enough beef.
@@adamwilliamson1151 yeah, kinda pisses you off, don't it?
Should be more of a fuss...just then when he thought about tapping that cymbal again, and didn't...
Yeah, the man's alright...
according to the filmmaker, there were two local kids that managed to sneak in while they were filming this concert. he allowed them to stay and watch the entire performance.
That's awesome
Unforgotten Being dont think thats what he meant by “full experience” buddy
@Unforgotten Being Hey, leave those kids alone!
He said they could hide in the 2 bass drums 😂
The legend says that those two kids were in fact the echoes of two ancient roman souls who wanted to witness the legendary band performing where they once lived and played. When the concert was over, the kids vanished without a trace and nobody saw them ever again.
This gets better every time u listen to it
Richard Wright's floating harmonies just makes this. One of the greatest compositions ever.
He was wizard. RIP 😢 🙏
this evening, during quarantine, windows opened on a scaringly silent neighborood somewhere in Italy. I close my eyes and lose myself into my headphones. Into pure bliss. This is my relief. There's still hope.
Well said man...In times like this, music is our only hope. Stay safe. And don't give up on hope 🙂 We all have each others backs in this.
Though I follow the footsteps of David Gilmour as a strict atheist, I'll keep praying for you and Italy.
Alessiucciocaro keep your hopes up!! My soul aches for Italia but you will get through this. The entire world should help. All the best from Romania where things aren’t so bad (yet). X

Please keep safe and healthy, best wishes from Germany.
Stay safe and keep healthy brother, God bless you.
The Meddle album and especially this song.. 9th grade, sleepover at my friends, watching the shoreline across the street, the light dance upon the water.. and her lava lamp. It was sooo cool. 🌠👋
I couldnt get enough of this song.
David Gilmour is why I play guitar. I love this just as much now at 57 and sober as I did at 16 tripping on LSD. Pink Floyd is the only band that can be that great at both of my extremes!
Gotta agree, Dave construction is deceptively simple but produces the biggest music, I'm hopeless guitarist, but Gilmour lets me dream, just amazing 😊✌️
I'm 50 and David Gilmour is my biggest influence on guitar. Him and Jimi are the reasons I'm a Strat man! Love the close up on the fretboard in this video to see the licks!

The combined musicianship of Pink Floyd is otherworldly.
This whole experience is a masterpiece. The music, musicianship, directing, camerawork. It’s a work of art. I’ve listened to it maybe 1000 times and still can listen to it again without wearing it out.
This world is billions of years old.
And we have the pleasure to be here together with Pink Floyd.
I've always loved the sequence that starts at around 6:25. The camera slowly rolling past the stacks of amps and cabinets marked with Pink Floyd London stencils. Such a statement.
same !
Hell yes just awesome 😊
I felt satisfied that I'm not the only one who felt it❤
They were playing for a few, for a short time.
Why arent they touring now? Blackmails fictional and theres so many lies about Syd.

When I was in high school around 1981 or so, 4 of us went to the local drive in theater (Hendersonville TN) to see this movie. We were the only ones there and so no one was working the ticket window. So we went and parked in the center of the parking lot and then took every speaker (100's of them) and set them on the ground pointing towards the car and sat out on the hood with our own surround sound. It was grand.

Ok 👍
Hahahaha. That's unbelievably awesome!!!
Where was there a drive-in in Hendersonville? I live there too! That’s such a cool story!!!!
You created your own little Pompei!
It was on the county line where 31E crosses into Davidson County on the banks of Mansker Creek. Looking at the intersection of the highway and the creek, it was on the SE corner.
Nick Mason, one of the most underrated drummers ever
Stewart Copland, a God in the Olympe of drummers
He's my favorite
Jon Hiseman is also an extremely underrated drummer
Every time the stick goes up, it's a billion pounds sterling
1000%
I'm 46 years old ever since I was 12 this has been my song...........
I am 58 and this is the first time I’ve heard this song and I thought I knew them all awesome song
I'M 69 AND LOVE ALL OF THE ROCK TYPE MUSIC ❤🎉😊!! FAVORITE (NO 1) IS, SINCE MY 14TH BIRTHDAY, AMAZING & EXCITING U R I A H H E E P 😊🎉❤ !!!!!! BERNIE GERMANY 😊
79ers stick together
every single member of this band is at the top of their game here. roger waters is just killing that bass line, the way gilmore just holds every note, shakes the life out of it , gives it a little wiggle and sets it free is just amazing... vicious, richard wright could have been a concert pianist. that organ breathes life into this piece, and nick mason on the drums is perhaps the most underrated drummer in the history of rock
and here's the most ironic part. floyd was as much a jazz band as anything. their less is more approach to music was stunning. nothing overblown, its like they stripped a song down to its very essence its skeleton. they left huge gaps in their music that always left the listener wanting more
in my opinion this was the best band that ever came out of england. a true powerhouse of creativity and craftsmanship
i am so grateful that i grew up poor. i somehow managed to frankenstein a radio when i was a kid. we didnt have cool channels where i was in S mississippi, but i ran a wire way up to the top of a sweetgum tree and could now and again pick up a station out of little rock ak, and another from out in Texas somewhere. from that little home made transistor radio i learned about the king biscuit flour hour and wolf man jack. that little radio was like a time machine, an escape pod. i would lay out in the yard at night and try to tune into the airwaves and thats how i first learned of this band. i wish i were there now laying under the stars ,,, just me and that little radio and my dreams of what could be. i am very grateful for those memories.
You should get your ham radio license. That way you can have better radios and antennas!😃
I concur.
However....
The Beatles are superior.
Tomorrow never knows...
that is one cool story man
Go back and do it....
I concur
The bass line is indescribable, phenomenal.
Roger rocks the hell out of this one. Funky and rock at the same time!
@@ElMariachi555 Unfortunately the speakers got more camera shots than he did.
It's a downright shame Roger didn't get more screen time. His baseline carries this track to such an extent, that it's a sacrilege that he is pretty much left out of this video. Still a sensational track, way ahead of its time, but if feel bad for Roger being left out.
@@jehaande I agree !!
But you described it; phenomenal
Questo filmato l'avrò visto 500 volte e non mi ha mai stancato.... ❤❤❤
This feels like that meme; You may be cool, but youll never be shirtless David Gilmour rocking an epic solo in a Roman amphitheater cool
Most people don't realize how incredibly handsome they all were.
Hahahahahahah, I'm stealing this. Brilliant!
Slash wishes he was Gilmour right there
@@andijw79 Most guitarist wish they could play like Gilmour. I always thought he was the bridge from blues to new wave type guitar playing. Cream to the Cars? Maybe it was the whole band?
I need davids babies
This has to represent some sort of high point of human culture.
mesagoat perfectly worded, both of you.
It was actually around about the tipping point where we began to descend into depraved materialism and lunatic ideology, ultimately leading to mass nihilism. So it could be a high point, in that we may never reach that peak again.
Probably

• LYRICS •
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
No-one speaks and no-one tries
No-one flies around the sun
Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inciting and inviting 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
And call to you across the sky
Grazie mille Marta per il testo tanta luce a te
I do really think that this are the best lyrics in all Pop Rock history.
P.S. thanks a lot ❤
спасибо!
Overhead the Enterprise
Hangs motionless in high orbit
And deep beneath the toiling crews
In labyrinths of jefferies tubes
The echo of a red alert
Comes willowing across the coms
And everything is keen except the Breen
And no one calls us to beam down
And no one forces down our shields
No one hails, no distress calls
And no one warps around the sun
Haunting track. Wonderful keyboards and quite sublime.
I recently visited Pompeii and they have a shrine in homage to PF and this song playing, it was an amazing moment. :)
f***ck dude , many times i haved dream doing what u did , i think is a breathtaking moment.
Woah, that’s a trip!
Same here amazing place much better than cities today. Yep
I visited back in 2019 on a baking hot day in September and yes to hear this played as you walked round the arena was incredible!
Is that true. I would really like to see any image. I really would
Alternate title: David Gilmour challenges the Roman gods to a duel and they don't show up
9:03 he's goin crazy bcz they didn't showed up
lmao
Hahaha
oh, they did, few days ago one father was sending message across the sky to his son to this tune
They knew they had no chance against Gilmour, that’s why they did not come
I googled “masterpiece” and this is where I ended up-absolutely THE best.
Just great! For me there is no other groups so special, so inspiring, so leading, so groundbreaking like Pink Floyd. Just outstanding!
Ok David, Rick and Roger are awesome, but can we take a moment to appreciate Nick's drumming skills?
Not only that, Nick is a gentleman. 👍
The Man has 2 class podiums in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. What a legend.
@@grahamreece519 What does that mean? I think he's the baddest dude out there.
I hear you. Mason is awesome, but can we get some love for Richard Wright, too?
@@anthonybalistreri5226 of course, he's my favorite pf member
I am now 70 and this is my 24 year old grandsons favourite track!
you did well
Liam Kelly good job dad good job, I’m trying to get my 12 year old niece into it
abuelito eres tu?
Your Grandson has been raised with the correct music values.😎
Great work!
4:28 This moment... the beginning of Gilmour's guitar... my GOd, it invades my soul more than the rest of the song and the whole Echoes is incredible!😍💗
friend. best goosebumps moments in my life. and your life.
Same for me, my eyes are full of tears
Absolutely yes!!✌✌
5:33 this part with richard, nick, and gilmour absolutely giving everyone who hears this part a boner
😊
Heard this so many times from last 11 years, still get goosebumps. Its like music flowing within.😊
I like the traveling behind the speakers and the music, it's simply a masterpiece. Timeless.
It’s like they knew it would be a masterpiece!
The fact that there is no one in the audience makes it so much better.
roman ghosts
@@annjmoss9418 Place is fucking packed
it was so it produced echoes
@@najjmx2422 is that fact?
If no one is in the audience, then there is no audience for anyone to be in.
The mixture of David’s psychedelic guitar groove, Nick’s rock-like drum beat and Richards jazz style synth really highlights their outstanding level of musical composition and clearly shows that they’re one of, if not, the greatest artists to ever exist.
People underestimate the groove of Rogers bass, without that it would take a lot of feel away from their songs IMO
@@darraghhenley7528 absolutely, that bass groove is so essential to this piece especially. I think it might even be the most important element for the feel of the latter half
@@darraghhenley7528 i was just about to write the same,Rodgers bass holds the whole thing together and is such a good hook
@@vinny9708 it does bring a lot of the feel to their songs they’re all musical geniuses in their own right and all have something to say and add to the songs you can’t compare them really, I’ll always respect each individual member for their own
YES!!! Well said,Rubin
I know Waters gets plenty of (deserved) praise for his musical writing, but damn, he should get some for his bass guitar skills as well. That bass in the second half is amazing
Pink Floyd is the most atmospheric rock band in history I think. When you listen to songs like these they just fill up your entire consciousness.
This is the BEST song when tripping on acid.
That middle section is the heaviest groove ever in rock and roll.
Some music is able to transport you to other places...magic is there, people either can recognize it or they can't.
Patrick- I get why your are saying that. But early Genesis, RUSH, YES and even some Grateful Dead all have their moments too.
Patrick McCutcheon tool
The lost spirits that walked Pompeii finally got the chance to rest.
100% This is amazing, Falcor 😁
They werent resting while Pink Floyd was playing...
@@JeffreyGlover65 At peace
This theme is similar to the song "la poderosa muerte" , alturas de machu pichu " of the Chilean group "the jaivas. The difference is that the song of the jaivas is the lyrics of the poem by pablo neruda" heights of machu pichu "winner of awards nobeles "
Thats right!
This live version is MUCH better than the studio version. Especially Water's bass!!
yeah it is
I like the last part of the studio version more but everything else is nicer to listen to than the studio version.
Waters bass was incredibly done
Pink Floyd almost always sounds better live.
İs it on spotify? I mean 10 min version of echoes live at pompeii
I could never truly "get" Floyd, until I watched this on television a few years ago & this track grabbed my attention.
I'd always been into the Syd Barrett era, but this track is a piece of pure beauty, genius & the true essence of art in musical form...
In the year 3921 there will be a concert with no audience in the ruins of Washington, DC.
I'm looking at 2021. SGHTF long b4 3921
Change that to 2020
It won’t be as epic as this. No one will ever compare to Floyd.
Maybe Seattle or Portland, Pompei wasn't a so important city in the Roman Empire.
I’d pay good money to witness that...
For me the best band in history of all time.
2nd to Led Zepp for me ;)
@@SoapinTrucker Led Zeppelin are a great cover band...so yes:)
@@SoapinTrucker Somehow I just can't get into Led Zeppelin.
I can see why! For me-
1. The Beatles (can't beat the albums)
2. Pink Floyd (also the albums)
3. Led Zeppelin (should really be the best band of all time but I'm an album guy)
@@bwebb90 dark side of the moon its better than any beattle album
