Last 2 min 35 seconds of this song is the most beautiful things that ever happened for the mankind! Life saver band
Echoes is a journey. Close your eyes and drift away. A true masterpiece of a song.
Only got one tattoo in my 31 years of life and its a Pink Floyd tattoo.
Seamus is a song to play when the bar is closing or when the lights are on and party is over.
The reason it sounds like Phantom of the Opera is because Andrew Lloyd Webber stole that main riff from Pink Floyd's "Echoes' for POTO. They decided not to sue him.
Facts ❤
The dog is real. It was owned by Steve Marriott of Humble Pie. The dog they used in the Pompeii movie was not the same dog. It was a French dog which is why you can't understand it.
😂
🤣🤣🤣
🐶🐕🇫🇷😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I believe it is a Saluki. One of the fastest dogs. Beautiful dog, too.
Pink Floyd will live forever with two stand up guys like you listening and appreciating the heck out of them!
Andrew Loyd Webber sampled echoes riff for phantom of the opera. Echoes 1971. Phantom came out 1985.
Echoes is the best "song" (it's more of a symphony) that was ever written - I want it to be played at my funeral!
Their last performance of this with Richard Wright at Gdansk is amazing.
Couldn't agree more!
Gdansk is awesome. Not only this, but Fat Old Sun takes on a revitalization. When I saw it, I pictured the band chanting to the sun, "sing to me". Then the sun replied in David's solo, that 100% rivals Comfortably Numb.
Last performance ever. David retired the song, once Rick was gone. And the last performance was, as you say amazing!
Alright Boys, I made it to the end with you and I have to say I don't think there is a better reaction to Echoes than this one... good job. 😎
Thank you for rocking with us!!
Right on
Meddle was my first experience of Pink Floyd. I still see it as a favourite because it got me into Pink Floyd. All the albums upto and including Meddle was for me their apprenticeship. Darkside of the Moon was their graduation.
Meddle was my first Floyd album also
Me, too. Right on @Andy-Capp
Now that you have heard Echoes, you get the idea of where the band was headed. Brings back a lot of memories for me.
One of the more eclectic Floyd albums. I love it. You can hear elements from this album in everything after this. It's subtle, but it's there. Thanks.
Looking forward to you guys doing Pink Floyd THE DIVISION BELL.
Ma anche no...
I nabbed a fresh copy of Ummagumma, on the weight of the album cover, and relished having a rare and exotic treasure that hardly anyone even knew existed. Being in grade school, I would confine its plays to my bedroom, as it was too avant-garde for the parents' sensibilities. That changed with Echoes, and I would play that on the family stereo, to no one's complaint. It proves an interesting soundtrack. That guitar riff predates Phantom, I'm pretty sure. Pure brilliance.
That's really cool. I can totally see that. And maybe 20 years later, your parents are rolling a Doobie and listening to "Several Furry Creatures" off of Ummagumma? I'm going to imagine it anyway. It fits a Pink Floyd story.
@@Greg-io1ip I sorta wish they had done that, but no, although Mom was very fond of Dark Side of the Moon...which was when they went commercial, and in the biggest of ways. The concert, from what I can remember, was epic. I was a little too wasted, but was touching the stage, and talking with their singers.
Ummagumma was my first Pink Floyd album in 1969, bought it for the cover and what I had heard of their previous stuff on college radio. I put the needle down on the Narrow Way and the rest is history.
@@vicprovost2561 I just listened to that again this morning. A magnificent work of art.
Seamus is an afghan hound that would sit next to the band with a mic held to it , play the blues and it would sing . I had a chihuahua dog that did the same, harmonica and saxophones would set it of every time, had to stop trying to learn blues harp because of it ! all my best to you and yours from Liverpool
It was Steve Marriott's dog. David was dog-sitting it while Steve was away on tour and David discovered this "talent" that the ol' girl had and they thought it would be hilarious to put together this track. I've heard David in interviews say that in a way they regret putting it on because few people like it, but he says the band thought it was hilarious and they'd hoped the fans would too. Unfortunately he was wrong for the most part. I myself do like it. I think that dog's unusual talent(mind you, he's even roo-ing on KEY) is amazing. And besides, the original tapes of the dog's sounds came in handy again 6 years later when they processed some of it to use in Dogs.
@@jeffmcdonald5901 i like it too , i did the same with my chihuahua charlie on a blues track, you cant beat a good slide tone howl . thanks for the reply Jeff
I've always loved that song. Just proves animals, dogs in particular, have soul.
I believe it was actually a Borzoi...or Russian Wolfhound...
@@shereecontreras2846 Yes, I think so
Echoes one of my favoritr Pink songs.......
Check out David Gilmour performing Echoes LIVE in Gdańsk, Poland. It is Rick Wright’s final performance of Echoes before he passed away.
Throughout the 90s I played Seamus every Saturday morning at 6:00 am in order to give all the listener's dogs a chance to sing along with the radio at least once a week..and they damn sure would, too...
Steve Marroitt was friends with Gilmour and told him my dog howls every time I play your music so they laughed and decided to bring Seamus into the studio.
I had heard some story like that, didn't know it was Marriott's doggy. Dude had some pipes. Airplay Beats should do some Steve Marriott.
Pink Floyd is a blues-based band, just like every virtually every other Rock Band to come out of England in the 1960s, all those bands loved American Blues.
In fact, Pink Floyd took their name from two old time American Blues guitarists from the early to mid 1900s,... PINK Anderson, ( 1900-1974), and FLOYD Council, (1911-1976).
Muscle Shoals reinforced that fact with Rolling Stones among others. SRV's guitar gods were the black blues stringers. Every major British rock and roll band tried to sign SRV because of the blues connections. Led Zeppelin, Clapton, Stones etc tried to sign SRV, and he finally agreed to a 1 year contract with David Bowie. It worked out fine, until.
David and Richard Wright (keyboards) sang together for that sound. After Richard or Rick died a few years back, David said he would never do Echoes live again. 😎
Im 61 now and this is the first Floyd track i ever heard , it was the soundtrack of the last 24 mins of a B movie i watched with my dad , he bought me this LP in 1972 . This track is my fav Floyd track of all , the build up after the whale sounds (slide guitar ) is just amazing
Let's be clear: Webber ripped off Floyd with "Phantom of the Opera", not the other way round. "Echoes" was 1971; "Phantom" was 1985.
Got it!
@Airplay Beats listen to Roger Waters beautiful song The Miracle to hear his response to the rip off.
@@AirplayBeats Roger nicknamed him Andrew ‘Floyd’ Webber 😅 what a legend
@@craftiestdude I was thinking the same thing 😂
“…Lloyd Webber’s awful stuff runs for years and years and years…
An earthquake hits the theatre, but the operetta lingers… then the piano lid comes down, and breaks his fucking fingers… it’s a miracle”
no they ripped it off iron maiden
Floyd were ahead of their time,there will Never be a Band like this probably ever again.🥁☮👍
Seamus was the border collie owned by Steve Marriott. Lead singer of 'Humble Pie'. And yes, that was him howling through the song. You will appreciate it more when you see it on the film.
didnt look like a border collie
@@MarkSmith-er7feIrish wolf hound
Right from the very beginning when I bought the album my friends and I always thought that the screeching sounds in the middle of the track were recordings of Whales communicating ! as the track has an under ocean feel with the opening and reoccurring sonar sound.
You should watch the "Live In Gdansk" version from David Gilmour's 2006 solo tour (also has Pink Floyd organ player Rick Wright). It's the best version of "Echoes" I've ever heard and has spectacular light effects. An almost unbelievable performance where every instrumentalist involved outdid him/herself. Cheers fellaz.
The studio gave them so many layers and time to play with that composition.
As much as I LOVE their live stuff. This piece is best off of the album. May be one of the best grooves ever laid down in the middle.
If you want as amazing a long piece from them do
“Atom Heart Mother” most extraordinary in a different way.
Thanks again for your channel and opening up music for us.
Speaking of Atom Heart Mother. I feel compelled to quickly mention that while I do like that track very much, I have always found listening to it slightly off-putting because of the recording quality of it. I don't know if it was a conscious choice or Alan Parsons being newer behind the sound board than he was for Dark Side of the Moon, but I have always felt that AHM's title track sounds muffled. The rest of the album sounds fine. It just seems to be the song itself. I've often wished they would remaster it and fix it, but as far as I know they never have. Correct me if I'm wrong. I would love to hear a fresher sound to that song if it exists.
The great Steve Marriott's dog Seamus. Echoes is a masterpiece. Hope your doing Obscured By Clouds, an underrated Floyd album.
This song never ever gets old !!!
David has a Blues soul. You can hear it in most of his guitar solos.
People hate on Seamus. I love it.
the meddle album was one of our summer soundtracks of back road cruising and field parties.
This album requires you to drop acid about 45 minutes before you play it. Then, when Echo's starts, close your eyes and watch the movie that's going to play in your head!🫠
i highly recommend their performance of "echoes"....captured in their video produced live at Pompeii......you will not be disappointed !
They already did it, and both parts 1 & 2. It’s a ways back in their history.. maybe a month or so, but you could easily search it in the UA-cam search engine: Pink Floyd echoes reaction Airplay beats.
Waters was going to sue Webber for defamation, but decided against it. Also, since the late 80s my friends and I have only referred to Webber as Andrew Floyd Webber. Don't go changin'. You're my go to for Floyd and Dan. And all else. Peace.
Lovin the Floyd reacts. (Shay-mus)
This is a lights-out song.
The ending of echoes can be found as "celestial voices"
Let’s go Mets!!!
Guys you have to do the one with the video.
Excellent reaction! Yes, that is Phantom of the Opera, and Andrew Lloyd Webber is lucky Pink Floyd didn't sue. The lead vocal is guitarist David Gilmour, harmonized by keyboardist Rick Wright. Spectacular combo! The sound like a seagull screaming is Gilmour on guitar. Supposedly he hooked a wawa pedal up the wrong way and got that sound. It was also used in The Wall's "Is There Anybody Out There". You guys should check out Atom Heart Mother.
This was the first Floyd track I heard, aged 15 in 1971.
And you said it, a Masterpiece. Pure Genius.
🎶❤️🎶
The guitar chime that starts Echoes always sounded like the active sonar echolocation of a submarine to me. I'm still amazed that most people don't hear that.
That’s exactly what I’ve always thought since I first heard it 50 years ago
How the f*** do you know what "most people" hear?
@@ChrisBlair-ev3mp Quick comeback there, bud.
@@sethcohen4119 I know, I responded the moment I read it.
@@sethcohen4119 I know, I responded the moment I read it. Sorry it took so long, some of us don't live with a screen in our faces.
Great reaction. I just wish you guys had reacted to the studio version of 'Echoes' first before doing the live in Pompeii rendition.
Definitely a real dog! 🐶
They were dog sitting Steve Marriott's (Humble Pie) pup while they were recording.
After a saucerful of secrets and before animal u find the best experimental Pink Floyd
Phantom of the Opera came after Meddle, so Meddle was the original of that sound.
The previous album Atom Mother Heart/first UK no.1 PF album has the same structure as Meddle, includes the title track as a suite, where a subsequent orchestral arrangement takes over the melodies. As a teenager I never found the right approach (retro), but about a year ago I found a video/documentary where PF played this live on April 28, 1970 in the TV studios KQED/San Francisco only as a band, and I'm now enthusiastic and bought the gig, maybe a tip for those interested.
In my opinion, the track is a further development of the title track A Saucerful Of Secrets from the 2nd album, the first long song in this line-up without founding member Syd Barrett (legendary recording visit as an unrecognized one) and the foundation of the later works of PF. Syd Barrett's Astronomy Domine shouldn't go unmentioned on the first album or a live version on Ummagumma✌.
best band ever lived lads
Sooner or later you guys find the best music
On its own, Seamus always seemed like an odd track to include. From an album perspective, I always felt it was a nice break before we get slapped with Echoes.
Hey Joel. I feel the same way about Seamus.
This is really cool sounds...needs a bong in the Airplay Beats studio.
Great reaction, guys.
Haha, I've been waiting on Seamus 👍The dog should have sued for royalties like Clare. Good song.
You men do it,
The epic slow motion drop is one of my fav parts of any song ~22:15 specifically the bass hit at 22:23
I watch a lot of reaction vids, and you guys are my fave. Knowledgeable, insightful and great chemistry. Keep doin what yer doin.
Love so many things about this album, bought it when it first came out (my 2nd PF record, after Umma Gumma), also love the "Shepard Tone" effect at the very end.
They back 👍
I always called the weird part the "insane screeching bird solo". The climb-out jam coming out of it is my favorite part of the song.
Yeah the end bit is my favourite too
I never cared for the section that Che said sounded like spaceships. To me I always imagine dolphins whistling to each other. Either way I find it somewhat tedious. That jam on the other hand is tremendous.
It's my favorite Pink Floyd song. This song is the song that gave them the direction that they were to go in, to be what they are now.
good on you 2, you stuck with it, its a also a test of patience you past the test, because this longer than the live' version u heard.
Seamus was a real pup.
Meddle clearly shows the direction the band were headed in 👍🇬🇧
Best Pink Floyd song to combine with LSD
Psychedelic Funk Lullaby
Echoes is the best song they’ve ever made imho. I prefer the studio version because a lot of the subtleties get lost in the live version.
Humpback Whale sounds
You can see it in Pompei!
That is a real English Hound. They have a video of the session.
I would absolutely suggest "Echoes live in Pompeii" it will give you a view of the complete band in their early years, less Syd Barrett. A must watch.
Check out our Pink Floyd playlist. We did Echoes in Pompeii
@@AirplayBeats Awesome! will check it out now.
For me the Gdańsk version is even better.
The dog was recorded live as they played the song. There is a video of the recording to prove it.
HEY FELLAS IMAGINE BEING 18 YEARS OLD AND TRIPPING ON ACID AT AN OUTDOOR CONCERT WHEN THEY PLAY ECHOES????
IT'S SOMETHING I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER FORGET!! IT HAPPENED IN 1975 AND IT'S STILL A VIVID MEMORY!!
You THINK it's a vivid memory
fyi: yes it is a real dog. if you watch the pink floyd movie from Pompei in 73 you can see them recording part of this track with the dog.
Andrew Lloyd Webber stole that riff for Phantom of the Opera several years later. Anyway this album Meddle, particularly Echoes, is the moment they truly became the “Pink Floyd” for the first time, the first of five or six albums in a row that cemented their legacy. David has described this song as a “conversation” between him and the keyboardist Richard Wright. You can hear the back and forth interplay between them in the last few minutes.
"Sounds like 'Phantom of the Opera'". Absolutely! Roger Waters accused Andrew Lloyd Webber of plagiating this riff for his musical. He hates him so much that on his song "The Miracle", on his album "Amused to Death", he imagines that Lloyd Webbers fingers get crushed by the piano lid during an earthquake.
All those weird sounds in the middle came from their experimental album Ummagumma. They were learning.
Older pink floyd albums were interesting. All the reactions happens the same thing that happened here when Echoes started... The person start staring at the screen thinking "what's going on?" and end staring at the universe... But still thinking "what's going on?"
Echoes is one of their masterpieces IMHO.
Bros, that is probably real dogs... every time I play Pink Floyd my dogs have always howled like that. I think PF put some kind of sound in their music that irritates dogs? 😎
Great reaction! Gotta slip Obscured By Clouds in next. That's the album that came after Meddle but before Dark Side Of the Moon which is why it's so criminally slept on. It's the musical bridge between the two and one of my favorite albums.
The band was named after Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, Syd's muses.
Hey, great to see you delve into Before Dark Side Floyd. The energy was more raw.
One hard experimental art song is The Narrow Way, but it will lose most people.
Always loved The Narrow Way. 3rd part is beautiful.
He does the echos with his voice!
Good to hear musicians giving their opinion. The Division Bell is Floyds last materpiece. Very mature and a must listen the whole album too.
did about 4g of shrooms and listened to echos at my peak...i can't even explain the journey i went on...
There’s a live version somewhere with the dogs on stage live
Absolute masterpiece
Echoes was the last song played on many Saturday nights back in the 70s. Eternally great tune whether here in its original mix or Live in various settings. It will travel the cosmos I'm sure. Try the live video of Echoes in Gdansk, last time with David & Rick together doing it, great take! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶
In 1987, I got to see Pink Floyd open the show with Echoes at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia when I was 17 years old with my friends. My teenage mind was blown because it was my 1st Floyd concert and I never thought I would ever hear this song played live. Good times & good review. RIP JFK Stadium, Ruthie, Bobby, and Richard Wright 💚
Go birds!!!!
@@fios131 Go Birds 💚🦅🏈 and Go Phils ❤️💙⚾️
David Gilmour ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Seamus was dedicated to a dog owned by Steve Marriott from Humble Pie. That was Seamus on the recording.
Seamus..."Shamus". Saying it as "Seemus" is the main reason my parents officially changed my name from that to it's Americanized version, James.
The Rolling Stones: she’s like a rainbow
Seamus the dog belonged to the great Steve Marriott of Small Faces and Humber Pie
@AirplayBeats
YES it's a real dog !

Madmoiselle Nobs was a dog brought in for the film - Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii
The Album recording was done with David Gilmours border Collier - The dogs name was Seamus - pronounced Shay-mus as it's origonally an Irish name to be sure??
Loving your reactions to Floyd - my fav band!
