Vin you nailed it when you said "no one is on their level.", midway through the reaction. No one was. Save perhaps Tool, no one ever has been. Can you find other individuals in music you might say are more musically talented? Sure. It's personal preference after all. Can you find other bands or individuals who might create more poignant lyrics or have a better stage performance? Same answer. But can you find another band that cranks out Music, Lyrics and Performance at that level and for that long? Try. I mean, good luck. This is a 23 minute song. There is no second song. You just listened to half of it. Who else is pulling that off? In 1971 no less. Just crazy when you consider what other music was being produced in 1971. They literally are their own musical genre`.
To answer a couple of your questions, this performance was actually part of a documentary about the band. There were several songs and band interviews as part of the documentary. I bought it years ago. It's great.
Filmed in Pompeii, Italy (whispers of tax reasons were behind it being moved from London) and because it's just a really cool idea to film there in front of no one outdoors in an auditorium like that.
This song is just about human interaction and connection. Roger Waters was a great songwriter. The rest of the songs on the "Wish you were Here" album you will really enjoy lyrically. This one lyrically is pretty obscure but as they went on, his lyrics became much more cynical and sophisticated.
Oh and yes... vocal and musical style was copied heavily. Have you listened to Queensryche? It's basically theft.
The guitar sound is just David Gilmour. The guy's just a genius. The most emotive guitar player to ever play I think. If you start looking at the body of work and consider what he's done here and on some of the songs you've reacted to.... the solo on "Time", "Comfortably Numb", "High Hopes", "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" etc. He even managed to make "Breathe" sound like a lullaby as the song lyrics were written as a dialogue of parent to child. He's just brilliant. Underrated. But a Legend to those who know.
Wait until you hear "On the turning away". Solo at the end gets a tear almost every time from me,
Can’t believe I just read it all, what the f... is wrong with me
@@omarpuga8298 XD
@Al Bradley You seriously think Vin knows anything about music itself? Anything at all? He's "just making money" here, dude. Keep that in mind. He has 8 kids already (no abortions yet) and the wife sure looks chubby af and most importantly, both of them have been consumed by greed. I think they teach their kids the same too (as they're "home-schooled"). So yeah, he is as dumb as my 6 year-old niece who believes Ariana Grande is a legend.
@@omarpuga8298 Why on Earth did you do that?
@@johnwescott3846 Dude... be a little less toxic. These 2 have sat through a TON of music and given their best honest reaction. They don't know everything about music, especially music that was made before they were born and they have never really claimed to. To each their own opinion, but these 2 aren't dumb. If you think that, then you haven't paid a lot of attention. The personal attacks though.. that says more about you than them I'm afraid.
Never gets mentioned but Rick Wright's keyboards are superb all through this.
For real. Gilmour even said he will never play this song live again without Rick
Richard wright was the most important member of pink Floyd, his touch only put the magical feel in their songs
Shows how ignorant people are. It's very annoying that Richard Wrights contribution is so often overlooked by casual fans. And by the way it's also annoying that all these reaction videos are on Echoes while all the other songs on Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii never get any reaction video!
The vocals?
I see that you didn't realize one thing:
Pompeii was a wealthy ancient Roman city, but 2000 years ago, Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the city under 4 to 6 meters of volcanic ashes. Largely preserved under the ash, the excavated city offers a unique snapshot of Roman life, frozen at the moment it was buried, and an extraordinarily detailed insight into the everyday life of its inhabitants.
If you search for images of the city, you will notice citizens frozen in position, like statues, under a layer of ash.
And this show was performed there, with no audience, because all the souls of the citizens were there, with their bodies frozen in time.
yeah dude, nailed it
Been there, amazing place, one of the best places I've ever been to
Pompeii and Herculaneum (which suffered a similar fate) were excavated at the end of the 18th century, Their discovery kicked off the Neo-Classical movement in Art and Architecture in Europe right through the first quarter of the 19th century. Both sites have enormous cultural significance.
U mistaking the actually numbers are 14m - 22m measuring from street. U forgot the fact that Pompei was rediscovered in the 1700 & for 1500 years people they built houses on top of the ruins, that shoes you how deep underground the ruins where.
@@gennarosperanza7810 cool to know, my sources were not accurate
David described Echoes as a musical conversation between himself and Rick Wright (keyboards). When Rick passed away, David no longer played Echoes.
The last time we saw Rick, was on tour with David and they did Echoes. It was beautiful.
@@mgordon1100 I read somewhere in a article before the release of David Gilmour "Live in Pompeii" that the first note of Echoes was played either during the intro or somewhere during the event as a remembrance..
He played it at the Albert Hall without Rick
@@markstedman8186 When?
That was in Gdańsk.. the best performance ever especially at the end😢
I love the reactions of this performance, everyone ask "where's the crowd?"
DEAD ~2000 years ago
I always love when people react to this version, because as Rock drummers go Nick Mason gets very little love, and I think this shows how excellent he is. He normally plays pretty slow and relaxed but when required to turn it on he really can. Plus you got to see them in thier youth :)
Yeah this is definitely one of his most bombastic performances. I forgot how big he gets here. Really good.
Not enough people listen to early Floyd to appreciate him. Mason is excellent.
This is def one of his best performances in my opinion. @John Oaks, Very little listen to early Floyd. It's a treat to hear their progressions.
completely agree!
Yeah, that’s why I prefer the first half of echoes from this version, and the studio version for the rest
Echoes has it all. Great musicianship, vocal harmonies, lyrics, crazy space rock sections; it's really the total package.
It is kind of a relationship song. It's more about the cosmic relationships between every human being. How we are all connected to one another on a cosmic level. That's how I've always interpreted it.
Yeah, you're right. I heard Roger say it's about us all leaving the sea to live on land and how we should all feel empathy for all our brothers and sisters.
We are all echoes of each other, but we have different experiences and could show each other what we have learned?
Yes that's how I understand it and I think it's beautiful. Because of its place in time and when I first heard it Echoes is my favourite Pink Floyd piece
Echoes is that rare kind of song. You don't listen to it, you simply cast off your earthly distractions and let it transport your spirit into the beautiful ether
Last year I turned 50 and I had mushrooms for the first time in my life and watched the this with the full concert. It was the best experience in my life. The Band came out of my big TV into the room and played just for me. It was already my favourite PF song but I will never forget that night as long as I live.
Rip to one of the best pianist ever
He can very well be placed up there with the likes of Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman.
R.I.P. Richard W.
@@fonsecorona don't forget john lord
@@raymondwirth89 Oh that's right...For a Purple fan, inexcusable omission..🤔..My bad..
@@fonsecorona don't think they have done dp highway Star would be good
@@raymondwirth89 yes...definitely yes.. 👍
This song never gets old. David Gilmour is GOAT 🎸
"Nobody is on these guys level"..
Yes indeed.
Now you are trapped into doing the second half of this performance. Get after it!😜
Another 125dollars 🤑🤑🤑
The most gifted musicians ever,✌👊
Performing for the ghosts of Pompeii, the ancient city in southern Italy that was destroyed in 79 AD by the volcano Vesuvius. An amazing show. Sori will need to watch it again with her eyes open.
Almost 50 years ago. Musical giants played for long lost ghosts in an empty ancient amphitheater. The gods wept at the beauty. I've listened to this hundreds of times and it always touches my soul.
Echoes is probably my favourite song EVER and IMHO you have to listen to the studio version first at least three times before you can give an opinion,then listen to pompeii.
What gets me is that a lot of people think Floyd only started out with DSOTM when in fact they did so much great music before that.
The whole Pompeii concert is a religious experience. Should binge the whole album IMO.
Talking about David Gilmour's voice, watch a saucer full of secrets on the same Pompeii tape. Gilmour literally justs say ahhh the whole time and it sounds amazing
Wright's voice is blended with Gilmour's.
Its not really about romance its about human connection more generally.
I'm probably projecting way too much, but I always felt that playing in an empty amphitheater in Pompeii, a thousand years after that eruption was also a way to bring out the echoes of a distant time. I really like that cut to the statues and figures before the beginning of the singing, as it brings out the history of the place and of the people towards the light. Apologies for my poor English, I hope this was still understandable
Actually 2,000 years after the eruption of Vesuvius; 79 AD.
@@marymargaretmoore9034 I stand corrected !
@@BenCasariego I liked your comment tho.
@@marymargaretmoore9034 Thank you, I thought I was maybe going a bit far with my thoughts about this live performance. But I find this place so haunting, it fits really well with a song like Echoes. Anyways, I need to work a bit more on my maths, it can't hurt !
@@BenCasariego No worries; I agree! This performance is a favorite for sure.
Man that perfomance from David is for the aeons. Playing like a God, for Gods, while looking like a God himself.
Live AND in 1971... no Auto Tune or any of that shit, just genius talent. Thanks for this you two!
This live version is amazing, but cuts out some 15 minutes of instrumental that's on the album version, which takes up the entirety of the B side. It has a final verse & chorus:
Cloudless every day 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
And call to you across the sky
Vin is right, Meddle was 2 years before Dark Side of the Moon, with another album Obscured By Clouds following it and preceding Dark Side.
Part 2 has the rest
@@robertschneider1977 The problem I have is the way the mood is destroyed by splitting the song into two pieces. This version is great to see the band, but I always recommend the studio version as a first listen.
@@jimj9729 i know. I wish someone would go splice the two videos together into one.
I hear what you're saying about the mood of the song, but it wasn't meant to be heard this way. As a film, it's meant to be watched in its entirety, then Echoes closes it off in the end, panning away from the band, as they panned into them from the start.
@@mgordon1100 I agree with you if we're talking about the watching the movie, but the song itself was originally meant to be experienced as one listen. Those who react to the studio version seem to have a much stronger emotional response than those using this one as their first listen. Don't get me wrong - I love this performance! I just don't recommend it as a first listen. I think PF did a better job of splitting a masterpiece with Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
i cant wait for them to react to careful with that axe eugene (hopefully one day)
If you have 125 bucks, you don't have to wait...
Nikolas Stampolidis yeah but it better be the Pompeii Version also. Studio version isn’t as good.
The Celestial Voices part of Saucer from this same concert is also well worth the watch/listen
Don't you mean, one of these days? 😁👍
Proves that Roger Waters created the metal scream
VOICES FROM HEAVEN
You should check out the Live in G’Dansk version of this song. It’s awesome and the last time Gilmour and Wright performed it together before Richard died
Yes, I thought about suggesting the Gdansk version too. If Sori and Vin ever get around to it, I think it's good that they've seen the Pompeii version first, as it makes that last Echoes performance of Gilmour and Wright more emotional
The Gdańsk version is awesome, but they won't do a song twice.
LOVE that version.
@@mgordon1100 They haven't even done this one once yet!
@@mgordon1100 they did comfortably numb twice 😜
It's about life evolving and how we all have a common ancestor.
The reason this part doesn't end just abruptly, as being part 1 of 2, is because it's a film. The film bookends with Echoes. If I remember correctly, this part goes into an interview or a studio session.
Timeless progrock one of my favorite Pink Floyd song❤❤❤❤❤❤
Roger Waters actually did accuse Lloyd Webber of stealing his phantom of the opera score from this
Webber totally nicked that riff.
"Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theater
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lid comes down
And breaks his fucking fingers
It's a miracle"
@Absintholic 999 Roger hates Webber. Lol
The entire live performance is amazing guys ☝️
It sounded like phantom of the opera because Andrew Lloyd Webber plagerised pieces of echoes.
I was standing there at that location back in 2009. I saw this Pink Floyd video long after. It was eerie knowing I was in a place with so much history.
Half way through don’t forget to enjoy the rest of the song
Yes, the part before the last verse is magical.
Don't forget to pay for it
This film is the definition of magic and perfection. You must see the whole thing, or at least part 2 of Echoes. The also show clips of the making of Dark Side. The line up is what most people think of as Pink Floyd - their original bass player, but with Dave replacing there original singer. There is no one in arena and that was the point. They are the first band (entertainment) to play in the arena in 2000 years. It was their answer to all the big concert films that were being release in that time. Rodger Waters was (or is still) suing the Phantom of the Opera for gleaning that progression. If you do watch it, watch the original film. There is a newer edit that has lots of space stuff in it which I think detracts from the music. I have seen Floyd 8 times, with and without Rodgers, and this is still the greatest performance. I thank God every time I watch it that it was made.
Best Pink Floyd song.
The whole Pompeii concert/video is absolutely amazing. You should definitely watch it front to back.
Echoes is simply the best song of history of human being
They are that good. Love you guys
If you watch the actual documentary Pink Floyd at Pompeii you'll see them in the studio working on parts of Dark Side of the Moon.
Finally, you guys have to now do the rest of this performance....you will not be disappointed....its a must
Excellent music choice. Echos is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs and in my opinion the most important song they did. After being on a kind of a drift for a couple of years after Syd was gone, this song defined the new floydian sound that would be carried on and perfected during the 70's. Simply a masterpiece.
new floydian sound begin from careful with that axe, Eugen and Atom Heart Mother, IMHO
Song is not over
Sori is absolutely right. It's about empathy, for everyone around you.
This is a masterpiece! So good to see it here.
My favorite PF footage!!!🎸🔥🤘💯
You just saw a rare video (via a proper "film" crew) and view of the original lineup (post Syd Barrett), just the band jamming with no accompaniments, four guys doing genius musical things.
David Gilmour (guitar, vocals)
Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals)
Rodger Waters (bass guitar)
NIck Mason (drums)
Pompeii is a roman ruin and at the time probably couldn't handle a crowd. Since then modern Pink Floyd was able to host a full concert there as well as a David Gilmour show where only people were only able to fill the arena floor, the venue probably has been restored to a point to have this happen.
I see this not being the full version was already covered!!!
IT's a MUUUUUUST!
I *love* the way y'all react to things, & as I'm currently homeless & in a shelter I think of y'all near every time I eat...
Pink Floyd are gods, this song is the best thing i've listened to...and im only 31.
You finally got it with the evolution aspect, well done 🎉
The lyrics of the second verse are according to Roger Waters about “the potential that human beings have for recognizing each other’s humanity and responding to it, with empathy rather than antipathy“, and he describes it as forming the basis of his own philosophy. I haven't read anything from him about the first verse, but you seemed to get the crux of it. I won't spoil anything more before you've had the chance to hear the rest of the song.
I presume the bit about the albatross is a reference to the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
@@donaldb1 Possibly or just trying to evoke the oceanic/costal feel and theme
"Strangers passing in the street......"
Was actually Roger Waters expressing empathy.
You must of been ripped writing this. Because I am right now, and read that last sentence logically as well. Then read it again as if I wasn’t baked and it still made sense.
That a reaction my boy feelin the pink floyd groove right there!
Greatest live performance by any band ever....
Great reaction again. You've got to see part 2 now.
I have the director's cut of Pink Floyd live in Pompeii on dvd, the full version of Echoes is truly epic !
Perfect music! Masterpiece!
This is what I would call their classic lineup, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright and Nick Mason. This is the lineup that created dark side of the moon, wish you were here, animals and the wall.
yes!!!!! this is phenomenal
One of the things I like is that you never cut your videos. Regards from Spain.
The Floyd's history has always been about the music and not them. They generally do not appear on their album cover art (except Ummagumma where they are effectively on display individually in the construction of the album). Here, they play in an amphitheater to no one. From their first days they developed their light show as something to hide behind. And then The Wall where they used a surrogate band and hid behind a wall. This movie, Live At Pompeii, was really the first time an audience got to see the band playing at a venue and in the studio. My understanding of the song and I think I have heard Roger use the term "empathy", i.e., connecting with others, which is an idea that runs through all of of the post-Meddle albums.
i agree. at the beginning, they were very shy. you can't accuse Roger of that nowadays, though; that's for sure
Love this song!!!
Well said" NO ONE IS AT THEIR LEVEL" period
saw them a couple of times on the '89 tour. Momentary Lapse of Reason was the album they were touring (without Waters, after the legal battles I think). I forget which show it was, but me and the friends I was with dropped a tab, and went in. We were sitting on the floor some rows back. Things were starting to kick in, and the lights went down. Audience started getting quiet and the first "PING" hit...and in my section it went dead quiet...the second "PING" and a guy two rows in front of me got up and said "Boys and girls, buckle up!! It's gonna be a bumpy ride!" I got lost in the music after that. Still to this day I can not believe they opened a show with this song, but it was a fantastic show and one of the best trips I ever had.
The masters of sound and vision.
I’m 52 and when I was 5 years old my parents and aunts and uncles listened to all of this great stuff and to me it’s always been there for me , we had Pink Floyd , Led Zeppelin, deep purple , Black Sabbath ,The Who , Queen all putting there best stuff out from 68 through the 70’s , music was so awesome then , but then my parents were overcome with evil and started listening to Disco !! God damn Kc and the sunshine band !! Anyway this was recorded at Pompei which was a small vacation spot for romans and a hedonistic getaway for when you really wanted to go crazy , mount Vesuvius erupted killing everyone because they liked putting things in there butts
Bill Shaw lol, I like the rock you mention, as well as the disco stuff. But it’s chalk and cheese. Rock is my *primary* genre though.
Oh! You guys did Echoes! You’re the best!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN FOR SOOOOO LONG!!!
For the Gods and the Ghosts of Pompeii...After 2000 years, Pink Floyd
you guys have the best Pink Floyd analysis, reactions. I don't always agree with your view but I haven't seen anyone else try to interpret the work with as much effort and thought. :)
Love watching your girl just close her eyes and take it in. You are in listening to Gods.
Nobody had played in that arena for 1000 years - now hear the ECHOES at Gdańsk - the last ever performance and a great conversation between Rick and David - very moving.
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
Those lyrics might be my favourite in all of song.
can you explain the meaning of that lyrics pls, i don't understand
@@rurysaurus At the beginning, the song talks about evolution and how we all come from "something" that became alive, and started to move and tried to climb towards the light. So, if everyone comes from that "something", everyone is that "something", and if I see you, I'm seeing that "something", and if I'm seeing that "something", I'm seeing everyone, including me. Basically, it says that all humans are just one; I am me and I am also you; it calls for empathy, to better understand and help each other, since we all come from the same place, we are equal.
I hope it helps, it's hard for me to put my thoughts into words. So here's a quote from Roger Waters himself saying that "it 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."
@@jankmg thank you very much
@@rurysaurus When you see a girl you want to get closer to you, you don't know who she is. You have to place what traits you desire on her, hoping she is what you want. Thinking about what you expect will tell a lot about who you are.
GOD IS LISTENING THIS MASTER PIECE
Nothing gets me to drop everything that I’m doing faster than seeing a Pink Floyd reaction by Vin & Sori notification pop up on my TH-cam alerts. Now how about that long overdue reaction to Careful With That Axe Eugene (Live Pompeii version)?
We need part 2 of this masterpiece
These youtube versions of this song drive me nuts by cutting the first few minutes of the song of. How do you cut the"PING" off?!?
Ya gotta watch part 2
If you watch Gilmours " live At Pompeii" double DVD. they show a tunnel inside the Amphitheatre dedicated to this video. That concert ( 42 yrs. later ) Gilmour said was very special to him. I believe that this was his last concert. Only one song from the past played this time ( one of these days)
My band growing up ! Brilliant, enough said...
love you guys !
Can I still say guys ?
Ahhh Phuk it .
Pink Floyd.....simply PERFECTION!
Hello friends, if you liked this video, then then you have to see a band from our country, Chile, called LOS JAIVAS, band Rock Progressive , and Latinoamerican Folklore ,the song "La Poderosa Muerte" that, like Pink Floyd, recorded in the Ruins of Pompeii, they did it. made in the Heights of Machu Pichu, published in 1981, based on a great Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, winner of the 1971 Nobel Prize for Literature .... Greetings from Chile
*Thank you Alan for making this episode possible!*
More like Thank you Alan for sacrificing your money so that others can watch this
@@hatujemeletsplayeryheskyce6460 I was just condensing that whole statement.
They play in the right place , ancient amphitheater , to the ghosts of people who lived 2090 years ago and then again in 2016 to their descendants . Are they playing for everybody who ever lived , for us now and for everyone in the future ? They know how to play with time , that's for sure ...
song is about the beauty of evolution
People can say anything they want about The Wall. This was Pink Floyd's apex peak as a band.
on the DVD part 1 ends goes to the band recording parts of "Dark Side" in studio and take a break for some pie. " with NO crust"
The album Meddle is awesome. You can hear them almost becoming what they are about to become. It is post Syd leaving the band when they were still trying to figure out what they were without him. This album marks the last stop of their slightly disjointed cohesion before their sound exploded into dark side of the moon and became solidified as what we really know them for today.
"Echoes" and "Fearless" are a couple all time great Pink Floyd songs.
@@nicholasmaxwell9899 Fearless....One of their most underrated songs...One of my favorites..from their pre-DSOTM era...
@@fonsecorona YES I love that song...Lyrically, musically, and vocally it's pure 🔥 🔥 🔥
@@nicholasmaxwell9899 Agreed. One of These Days isn't bad either!
You are correct. It’s about as close to a love song as Pink Floyd made. Possibly “Pillow of Winds”
The part2 is a must watch, specially for someone who never heard Echoes before
The correct ancient place for an epic Echo
Music that came dicrectly from heaven. My no 1 song of all time
when you got the lucky to produce your music without a label pushing and pushing, we get bands like pink floyd they dont followed any trend they invented his own sound, and most of all they in his 20s create music so mature, only with aged we understand the meaning of it, thats amazing!!!! and is the only band whom sound better live than the original record and never play the same so year after year we never heard the same song, i love it
Wow it's pretty awesome that I actually watch this video and you guys have pretty much just made this video! I have not stopped listening to your comments post video but from what I've heard let me clue you in on a couple of things! The drug member that you spoke of Vin was Syd Barrett! By the time this video was made Syd was already out of the band because of a mental breakdown due to too much LSD! The vocal style that you are speaking of is actually a two-part harmony with David Gilmour doing the low Harmony and Richard Wright does the high harmony! I believe in Wikipedia or somewhere I've heard it described where at a concert somewhere down the line they switched and Gilmore did the high and Wright did the low!! Feel privileged that you have at least a chance to see recorded versions of this song live because once Rick Wright passed away David Gilmour never performed the song live again! He said they had such a connection, especially in this song, that he could not do it again without his partner!! Truly one of the best pieces of music ever to be recorded by a human!! Do it justice and listen to Part 2 also!!
You have to watch the whole film Pink floyd at Pompeii and perhaps you will see that each of the songs have a very specific meaning in the movie. A good part of the film was recorded at the solfatara a part of an active volcano (super volcano) called Campi flegeri. Dark side of the moon was released a year later in 1973, at pompeii it came out in 1972.
Mount Vesuvius, a volcano near the Bay of Naples in Italy, has erupted more than 50 times. Its most famous eruption took place in the year 79 A.D., when the volcano buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii under a thick carpet of volcanic ash. Pink Floyd didn't want a 'crowd' there (I presume you mean an audience) because they wanted to evoke atmosphere etc.
PINK FLOYD 💛
Loved vin saying nobody is on their level, nobody
Ofcourse it's in the eye of the beholder but if these guys take one thing from this entire journey of the channel and the village and all the new music I hope the biggest takeaway has been the fact that Floyd is now a part of their being, once it goes in it'll never come back out
And to think you may have gone through life never even knowing they existed!
You got to react to part 2.
