i've always had trouble picking a top track, for me i'm torn between , Granchester Meadows, The Nile Song, and for reasons i've still yet to fathom , the viziiers grand ball, but i'm of a certain generation.
He's got it exactly right. In America this is how many of us got to see Pink Floyd for the very first time. The Pompeii film played in movie houses usually at midnight all across the country throughout the 70s 80s and into the 90s. For many people it was a weekly weekend event that folks would repeat dozens and dozens of times... hanging out with friends and fellow Floyd fans, getting stoned, and watching their musical Masters perform. There were nighttime concert programs on television on the weekends through the mid and late 70s, seems like everybody appeared on them at one time or another except for the notoriously camera shy Pink Floyd. It became part of their enigma that only made curiosity about them along with their music, grow even stronger.
i got introduced to Floyd in the 80's at the age of 16, i'm now 60, not a day goes by without checkin' in , go figure. when i was 8 or nine or what ever age i was was DSOTM came out , my ol' man played it full volume for months , i listened without choice but even at that age i kinda understood........ and i quote { Jim Morrison} ''this is it''
There is actually a reason why Nick is featured so much in this film and Roger so little. Something happened to the footage, it either didn’t record or it got damaged. No doubt this drove Roger crazy lol, but the focus being on Nick so much is one of the things I love the most about this film. It’s his moment to shine and damn he does. Favorite moment is when he loses his stick (on One of These Days I think?) and doesn’t miss a beat. He was in full beast mode
I think you now see why I said this has a harder edge than the original studio version. No matter how many times ive seen and heard this I'm still mesmerized.
Every year at my high school, at the end of the year the seniors got to go to the auditorium to watch a movie picked by the student council. In 1979 I was VP and lobbied hard for "Live at Pompeii" and somehow it was selected. Needless to say, many young minds were blown that day.
Pink Floyd became popular almost organically in New Zealand, none of their songs were ever on commercial radio or TV so the only way we heard about them was through friends and family. DSOTM changed my life as a 14 year old, lying on my back on the floor, in the dark, listening to it on a Phillips tape recorder, it blew my mind.
As unique and magnificent a performance as you will ever see & hear for sure, when this movie came out the theater was sold out and everyone was high on something going in. To see Pink Floyd was a miracle in those days but they did make a few TV and radio appearances live for their fans. Actually seeing them live in concert though was a whole new experience and dimension in sound, light and feel, a Pink Floyd show had a vibe like no other, the 4 times I saw them (1975 , 77, 87 & 94) you walked out saying that was the best concert I ever saw/heard. Their event at Pompeii will never be duplicated, it was Rock Music as high art and will impress any viewer, no matter the kind of music they normally listen to. Great stuff, onto Gdansk! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
make's one wonder if they'd've never come to blows over the Floyd brand and $, £ issue how the band would've progressed and what we'd've been in for, same can be said ( for other reasons , obviously , ) for the Doors, Hendrix, etc , or how it would've gone if Syd hadn't gone off the tracks.
Your right. I've been a Pink Floyd fan from the gate with Sid Barrett. This was our first time seeing them play in 74. What a thrill it was to finally see them. The movie started with Echoes part 1 then ended with part 2. What geniuses. Sad bands of this stature is fading into history. Thanks for sharing.
Living in London back in the sixties I saw pink floyd many times, my favorite was the first performance of echoes at a crystal palace garden party during a thunderstorm. You can find it on youtube. There were many other bands and the live music was so much better than headphones.
pink floyd are the best live band there ever wad and will not be surpassed im 70 and i have seen them 5 times suggest the live pulse concert great gig in the sky and different comfortably numb as well as high hopes and the grand finish with i over i millions dollars worth of lights and effects run like hell also run like hell is the closer at david gilmore at Pompeii nlive complete with fire works these songs will blow you away
Lol 😆 Well it's time to let Her know this is on of Pink Floyd's "Most" popular songs !! It was always in there Live setlist and this Film was so Huge when it came out and I was there at the theaters sold out, and one of the highest selling Live Rock DVDs ! And "Echoes" is one of "Classic Progs" Greatest Epic and is always in Prog Magazine's "Top 5" songs year after year and still played on Classic Rock radio stations across the nation all the time especially on "Long song" weekend nights. 👍🎶🎼✌ And Mike & Dev all the piece & Love to you 💕 And Dev, we all have periods of life that certain music attaches to our lives good, bad, happy & sad ! I hear you so much on this, I have people and past Loves that I still think about with music I Love and in some cases it's taken 10 yrs or so to get back to it but I get "Time" does heal most wounds ! 🙏😌 I Love your site and the way you Kats do things, very high production video & photos etc it's great. 👍🎶🎥✌
One of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs. I first saw them on the Meddle Tour in maybe 1970? Was amazing. First quadrophonic tour they did. Careful With That Ax Eugine was so bizarre.
Pink Floyd may STILL hold the record for loudest concerts in history. I think at one show they registered over 130 dB in the first few rows. That’s roughly the same as a 747 engine at an equivalent distance. As for Dave and Nick being thin, Dave made his living for a brief time as a model in France during the Syd Barrett era..
PF at Pompeii was a midnight movie and repertory cinema staple throughout the 1970's and 1980's until the age of videocassette/DVD. Part of the reasons why the Pompeii Echoes is so beloved is due to how it begins and ends the film and represents for many the first time they ever saw PF actually playing. Another media one off was about an hour and a half of PF playing recorded by PBS in 1970 which had a limited television release at the time and remains recommended watching. Short of getting decent tickets to see the band, seeing PF was what showed up in the musical press, upcoming concert advertisements/posters, and the front cover of Ummagumma.
That unusual "Seagull Cry" Is actually feedback and happens when you erroneously plug your Wah-wah input cable into the output slot and the Output into the input. The result is this wailing sound which can then be controlled by the Wah-wah pedal, the Volume and tone control knobs of the guitar. No strings need to be plucked!
They were playing to the spirits of those who perished in the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, even the stone faces were amazed. First time anyone has performed there since that tragedy. David Gilmour performed there twice.
Gdańsk version actually is my favourite for the extended riffing between Rick and David. As you have Rick and David plus Roger’s replacement in Pink FLOYD Guy Pratt on bass in the band it’s still,pretty much Pink Floyd to me and the concert has some incredible versions of the back catalogue. I may well have seen one of the earliest versions - WE BOOKED Pink FLOYD as a City College/University of East Anglia co promo. They warmed up the MEDDLE album live at Norwich and then did the ‘world premiere’ on BBC RADIO ONE a few days later. I was given the job of announcing the band - still a thrill that stays with me. Hearing ECHOES live back then was an amazing experience . I was at Pompeii a few years back and that arena is magnificent
The "whale noise" at the beginning of part two is played by Dave Gilmour. They found out that if you plug a wah wah pedal in backwards and lift the pedal up fully then you can make the "whale noise" just by turning the gain nob on the guitar. You can see Gilmour turning the gain knob when the camera is on him.
My first concert was in June 19th, 1977, Soldier Field in Chicago. I was 15 years old. It was Pink Floyd's - "In The Flesh Tour" ( promoting their Animals album). I paid only $10.60 for the ticket. Unforgettable, I was hooked on live concerts. Spent my high school days seeing every band I could during the late 70's and early 80's
Watch with about -6.00 minutes left, Nick ‘Animal from the muppets’ Mason, breaks his drum stick and replaces it with a new one without missing a beat!
Thank you for the reaction! I first saw this video in 1988 on VHS after the Iron Curtain started crumbling. And it was like seeing gods. Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols said in an interview that when he watched Bowie and Roxy Music on TV in 1972, he thought that pop-musicians came from other planets. That was even more so for kids in the USSR. The funk-out middle part is also my favorite. Still gets me every time. Sort of a precursor of U2's Bullet The Blue Sky.
Ogni volta che guardo e ascolto Echoes vado letteralmente fuori di testa. A Pompei raggiungono il massimo della loro espressività. Lo Zio David è un MARZIANO Nik è pazzesco , Richard è un Angelo e Roger accompagna il tutto da incazzato quale è.
I was in Naples Italy a few months before they recorded this. The hot sulphur gases where they filmed part of this video is a small outcrop of the huge caldera Campi Flegrei called La Solfatara. This caldera is comparable to the Yellowstone caldera in Wyoming USA and they reckon that the Campi Flegrei could explode any time now. If it does, it will devastate most of Europe within days and cause a nuclear winter lasting a year or two globally. Anyway, this period of Pink Floyd i.e. Atom Heart Mother 1970 to Obscured By Clouds 1972 was, IMO, their best.
You need to check out their previous video of "Atom Heart Mother" recorded in 1970. It will move in much the same way. They were musical geniuses from a very early age. Been my favorite band for 50 years, along with Led Zeppelin. Enjoy.
WOW Nick Mason @8:24 flips his stick mid roll the @23:18 WAIT FOR IT he breaks a stick picks another one and carries on doesn't miss a beat that's a true drummer plus phantom of the opera riff came from this arrangement {:-) PAV UK
When I was 15 in 1980 a midnight movie was advertised as Darkside Of The Moon. Once the movie started it was This. All my friends felt cheated. The next day I bought Meddle.
Great reaction - Happy New Year!! I will admit, this is my first time hearing the 2016 remix, and to be honest, I'm not a fan...it's missing the raw, live feel of the original release. Don't get me wrong, it sounds amazing, but it's too clean! The bass isn't as prominent in the 'groove' section, and that's unfortunate. Regardless, still one of my favourite versions of this song!! Gdansk will be a treat too. Cheers.
Gdańsk version actually is my favourite for the extended riffing between Rick and David. As you have Rick and David plus Roger’s replacement in Pink FLOYD Guy Pratt on bass in the band it’s still,pretty much Pink Floyd to me and the concert has some incredible versions of the back catalogue.

Hearing ECHOES live back then was an amazing experience
I thought something sounded "off" on this version until I saw it was the remix. That said, it still sounds effing great, but perhaps with a bit less pickup than the original version, as if it's a beat or two slower, and far less muddy. Might be worth checking out the original Pompeii mix if you are not Echoed out yet :)
I believe the original film (24 fps) was sped up to 25 fps for home video. As I understand it, this speed matches the original theatrical release better.
Ironically, the 2 most featured in the video hated it the most. Nick Mason said there wasn't enough vocals and David Gilmour couldn't believe he was singing about an albatross. Made me think of Monty Python.
Love this performance. They could have sued Andrew Lloyd Webber for ripping off the main riff for his Phantom of the Opera, but they didn't. Also, at the end when you see David glance at Rick and smile, it's because he missed the lyric "inviting and inciting me to rise..." He said "inviting and inviting me...". No biggee. At this date, they were: Roger Waters 28, Nick Mason 27, David Gilmour 25, and Rick Wright 28.
Hi again you too lovely people, it's your favourite English menace,just watched your reaction to pink Floyd meddle, great reaction as usual, just abit of useless information, not long after this album was released Roger waters tore into Nick Mason about his sosay shite drumming and that nearly caused Mason to pack in playing all together, was also the start of the end for Floyd at the time, but thankfully they found another bass player and the rest is history as they say,like alot of English bands back then to say they were ahead of their time is a bit of a joke really, Floyd, the mighty zeppelin, ELP changed the way music was viewed,one last thing, I would suggest to you both to watch together the concert by Roger Waters called (in the flesh),it's 2 odd hours long but from start to finish truly amazing, he does half Floyd stuff and half his own stuff, he has surrounded himself with truly amazing musicians from around the world plus 3 fantastic backing singers, I guarantee you will both love it as your both Floyd fans, and maybe you can do a reaction from this particular show, anyway both you take care keep up the great work English Billy.
That is because the original home video was sped up from the theatrical 24 fps to 25 fps for TV. Here is our reaction using the sped-up 25fps version - ua-cam.com/video/h-sS2wiBsDU/v-deo.html
A couple of things you both should know before watching the 2006 version in Poland. It was the final time Gilmour & Wright performed Echoes. The final 4 minutes with just the 2 of them playing off each other is awesome...almost makes me think they knew it was the last time. When Wright died, Gilmour pledged to never play Echoes again ... and he never has.
one of the songs in most fans' top3, it has long been the essential piece of concert material (along with careful with that axe eugene) right up to dark side of the moon, which is why there are so many versions far better than pompei.
I saw this at a movie theater in 1976 on a double feature with The Song Remains The Same. I’ll admit as a 12 year old kid this bored the shit out of me and my buddy. We liked Pink Floyd DSOTM which was 2 years old then but this (plus the drugs) put us to sleep
I believe the original film (24 fps) was sped up to 25 fps for home video. As I understand it, this speed matches the original theatrical release better.
And no one sings me lullabys and no one makes me close my eyes, and so I fling the windows wide and call to you across the skies. Glad I wasn't judged into eternity for being a pitiful man that didn't work hard enough to be able to raise children by my own meagre standards.
I believe the original film (24 fps) was sped up to 25 fps for home video. As I understand it, this speed matches the original theatrical release better.

The greatest Pink Floyd concert that nobody got to see live (except for the crew).
and the ghosts of the Romans
There were apparently two young boys who snuck in and saw a performance of a lifetime
This is my favourite Pink Floyd track
i've always had trouble picking a top track, for me i'm torn between , Granchester Meadows, The Nile Song, and for reasons i've still yet to fathom , the viziiers grand ball, but i'm of a certain generation.

Roger keeps his shirt on, David is awesome, Richard stays in the background, Nick is a revelation and star of the show❤
I agree. I was pleasantly surprised to see Nick featured as much as he was.
i'm always stunned by the palm slapping, elbow work by Rick in Saucerful, i bet he can nail it everytime.
So much talent at such young ages. And they just got better their entire careers.
it is amazing how 4 artist can produce the sounds and music
And with only 4 instruments. Without computers.
In my opinion this was the best Pink Floyd Live Concert of all time !
This Pink Floyd performance never saturates, never gets tired of watching it more than once
i got introduced to Floyd in the 80's at the age of 16, i'm now 60, not a day goes by without checkin' in , go figure.
when i was 8 or nine or what ever age i was was DSOTM came out , my ol' man played it full volume for months , i listened without choice but even at that age i kinda understood........ and i quote { Jim Morrison} ''this is it''

Favorite moment is when he loses his stick (on One of These Days I think?) and doesn’t miss a beat. He was in full beast mode
Well that was a happy accident, as Bob Ross would say, in my opinion. Mason was brilliant.
He does break a stick during Echoes here - you can see it at 23:16, he chucks the broken one and grabs a new one at 23:17 of this video ;)
@@dananderson5516 he went full Paulina Villareal.
@@dananderson5516 he went full Paulina Villareal.
there wasn't a camera assigned to waters and he would have been fully aware of that.
I think you now see why I said this has a harder edge than the original studio version. No matter how many times ive seen and heard this I'm still mesmerized.
people prop up comfortably numb and time, but that solo is my absolute favorite from David Gilmour. It evokes incredible emotion.
You are right. David understood exactly what Rick meant with this song.
50 ans que j'écoute ! J'ai eu cette chance de découvrir une musique qui n'existait pas et que nous étions peu nombreux à écouter. Quel pied !!! 😉

This song is complete perfection. Where do you go from here? Well they went places for sure. But for me, this is them at their complete pinnacle.
make's one wonder if they'd've never come to blows over the Floyd brand and $, £ issue
how the band would've progressed and what we'd've been in for,
same can be said ( for other reasons , obviously , ) for the Doors, Hendrix, etc , or how it would've gone if Syd hadn't gone off the tracks.

Imagine being a local and just hanging out around the outside getting a free concert by Pink Floyd😁
Part 1 and part 2 !!!! Set the Controls fot a heart of the sun
Nick Mason doesn't get enough recognition, that's why this video is so great, he's outstanding!
Great reality show with Nick and Brian Johnson, check it out. Apparently PF financed themselves in the 80s from Nick's car collection.
Desde mis 20 años.., Siempre los 24minutos mejor usados disfrutando arte 😉
¡Es maravilloso!
pink floyd are the best live band there ever wad and will not be surpassed im 70 and i have seen them 5 times suggest the live pulse concert great gig in the sky and different comfortably numb as well as high hopes and the grand finish with i over i millions dollars worth of lights and effects run like hell also run like hell is the closer at david gilmore at Pompeii nlive complete with fire works these songs will blow you away
We have done some of the PULSE concert already. Awesome.
The "fade out" jam @ the end...
Lol 😆 Well it's time to let Her know this is on of Pink Floyd's "Most" popular songs !!
It was always in there Live setlist and this Film was so Huge when it came out and I was there at the theaters sold out, and one of the highest selling Live Rock DVDs !

I Love your site and the way you Kats do things, very high production video & photos etc it's great. 👍🎶🎥✌
One of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs. I first saw them on the Meddle Tour in maybe 1970? Was amazing. First quadrophonic tour they did. Careful With That Ax Eugine was so bizarre.
When I saw them in concert doing this song it was in quadraphonic My mind ZOOM lol
The slow zoom-in sums up Pink Floyd's music
How awesome is it to see the drummer, Nick mason front and center?!
Pink Floyd may STILL hold the record for loudest concerts in history. I think at one show they registered over 130 dB in the first few rows. That’s roughly the same as a 747 engine at an equivalent distance.
As for Dave and Nick being thin, Dave made his living for a brief time as a model in France during the Syd Barrett era..

That unusual "Seagull Cry" Is actually feedback and happens when you erroneously plug your Wah-wah input cable into the output slot and the Output into the input. The result is this wailing sound which can then be controlled by the Wah-wah pedal, the Volume and tone control knobs of the guitar. No strings need to be plucked!
During David’s first solo who saw Nick flip his stick right hand while playing?
They were playing to the spirits of those who perished in the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, even the stone faces were amazed. First time anyone has performed there since that tragedy. David Gilmour performed there twice.
thanks for the reacting
Gdańsk version actually is my favourite for the extended riffing between Rick and David.

super video,excellent😊👍👍
I absolutely love Nick in this movie! He's obviously smoked something fine and he's going at it with vigor. This is his number!
A Song for eternity
My first concert was in June 19th, 1977, Soldier Field in Chicago. I was 15 years old. It was Pink Floyd's - "In The Flesh Tour" ( promoting their Animals album). I paid only $10.60 for the ticket.
Unforgettable, I was hooked on live concerts. Spent my high school days seeing every band I could during the late 70's and early 80's
The mud that is bubbling is hydrothermal mud pots, small mud volcanos
I'VE heard that there were apparently 2 or 3 backpackers who were stumbling around back then & accidentally happened upon this concert.
Young locals happened upon them and the crew let them stay and watch from the seats.
That was one of these days they had very little footage of the rest of the band during this track
Great sound quality.
Nick was the driver on this
Great job as usual,....one of PF masterpieces',...
Echoes Live! Every Floyd fan's dream. I got my chance at Radio City in 06. Dave and Rick combining for awesomeness.
Watch with about -6.00 minutes left, Nick ‘Animal from the muppets’ Mason, breaks his drum stick and replaces it with a new one without missing a beat!
I think that happened on " One of these days"
of course now it's time for the "Atom Heart Mother Suite"
greetings from Germany
I enjoyed that,thanks.
Mike: wanna take a break?
Dev: nope!
My kinda girl!
Great stuff , thanks!
Wright!❤🏴

D'accordo !
great - thanks
released on my day of birth
How do you play something so complex and not screw up somewhere in the song? It’s absolutely an all time masterpiece
i saw them in 77',Boston. the 'animals' tour
Nick Mason what a beast
I was in Naples Italy a few months before they recorded this. The hot sulphur gases where they filmed part of this video is a small outcrop of the huge caldera Campi Flegrei called La Solfatara. This caldera is comparable to the Yellowstone caldera in Wyoming USA and they reckon that the Campi Flegrei could explode any time now.

You need to check out their previous video of "Atom Heart Mother" recorded in 1970. It will move in much the same way. They were musical geniuses from a very early age. Been my favorite band for 50 years, along with Led Zeppelin. Enjoy.
WOW Nick Mason
@8:24 flips his stick mid roll
the @23:18 WAIT FOR IT
he breaks a stick picks another one and carries on
doesn't miss a beat
that's a true drummer
plus phantom of the opera riff came from this arrangement

I`m the same to be honest, I tend to like the earlier/obscure stuff from bands, always been like that.
Where did Nick's sunglasses go?
When I was 15 in 1980 a midnight movie was advertised as Darkside Of The Moon. Once the movie started it was This. All my friends felt cheated. The next day I bought Meddle.
Great reaction - Happy New Year!! I will admit, this is my first time hearing the 2016 remix, and to be honest, I'm not a fan...it's missing the raw, live feel of the original release. Don't get me wrong, it sounds amazing, but it's too clean! The bass isn't as prominent in the 'groove' section, and that's unfortunate.
Regardless, still one of my favourite versions of this song!! Gdansk will be a treat too. Cheers.
Censoring Waters perhaps,, :-( But a cleaner more punchy drum part which sort of makes it ok , And a little more room for the keys,

Gdańsk version actually is my favourite for the extended riffing between Rick and David. As you have Rick and David plus Roger’s replacement in Pink FLOYD Guy Pratt on bass in the band it’s still,pretty much Pink Floyd to me and the concert has some incredible versions of the back catalogue. I may well have seen one of the earliest versions - WE BOOKED Pink FLOYD as a City College/University of East Anglia co promo. They warmed up the MEDDLE album live at Norwich and then did the ‘world premiere’ on BBC RADIO ONE a few days later. I was given the job of announcing the band - still a thrill that stays with me. Hearing ECHOES live back then was an amazing experience
Keep your eye out for Nick dropping his right drumstick when playing "One Of These Days...".
He quickly grabbed another stick without missing a beat & carried on like a boss!
Yep...CLASS Act there baby.

That black strat guitar Dave played was sold at auction for charity for almost 4 million bucks .
Nice reaction, as usual, lady and gent.
I thought this was live ... ?? Some comments are days old. No biggee. Just wondering.
The comments and chat are open during the pre-premiere "waiting period"
@@MusicforBusyPeople Got it. Thanks.
Pulse One of These Days, has a couple of bars from British TV SciFi show theme Dr Who 😉

There are overdubs on this, Rick is playing treated piano at the beginning but the Hammond comes in before he moves to the organ ...
I thought something sounded "off" on this version until I saw it was the remix. That said, it still sounds effing great, but perhaps with a bit less pickup than the original version, as if it's a beat or two slower, and far less muddy. Might be worth checking out the original Pompeii mix if you are not Echoed out yet :)
Yes I have seen better versions, still thanks to modern media more people are viewing this now 🎸🌟
I believe the original film (24 fps) was sped up to 25 fps for home video. As I understand it, this speed matches the original theatrical release better.
I did not know that! Thanks for the education---and great reactions.@@MusicforBusyPeople

Ironically, the 2 most featured in the video hated it the most. Nick Mason said there wasn't enough vocals and David Gilmour couldn't believe he was singing about an albatross. Made me think of Monty Python.
I wonder if they all ready finished cleaning all that dirty from that amphitheater?
Love this performance. They could have sued Andrew Lloyd Webber for ripping off the main riff for his Phantom of the Opera, but they didn't. Also, at the end when you see David glance at Rick and smile, it's because he missed the lyric "inviting and inciting me to rise..." He said "inviting and inviting me...". No biggee. At this date, they were: Roger Waters 28, Nick Mason 27, David Gilmour 25, and Rick Wright 28.
David messed up, Rick got it right.
You can see Gilmour's mouth pronouncing 'inviting' twice, but Wright clearly singes 'inciting' off-camera.
Sings! Damned French predictive text 😡
@@Kriegsgefangener31 You're right

Have this on vhs
I have got the dvd the directors cut.
What extras are on the directors cut?

Hi again you too lovely people, it's your favourite English menace,just watched your reaction to pink Floyd meddle, great reaction as usual, just abit of useless information, not long after this album was released Roger waters tore into Nick Mason about his sosay shite drumming and that nearly caused Mason to pack in playing all together, was also the start of the end for Floyd at the time, but thankfully they found another bass player and the rest is history as they say,like alot of English bands back then to say they were ahead of their time is a bit of a joke really, Floyd, the mighty zeppelin, ELP changed the way music was viewed,one last thing, I would suggest to you both to watch together the concert by Roger Waters called (in the flesh),it's 2 odd hours long but from start to finish truly amazing, he does half Floyd stuff and half his own stuff, he has surrounded himself with truly amazing musicians from around the world plus 3 fantastic backing singers, I guarantee you will both love it as your both Floyd fans, and maybe you can do a reaction from this particular show, anyway both you take care keep up the great work English Billy.
Having listened to this a thousand times, i'm pretty sure the tempo is a bit slow in this video
That is because the original home video was sped up from the theatrical 24 fps to 25 fps for TV. Here is our reaction using the sped-up 25fps version - ua-cam.com/video/h-sS2wiBsDU/v-deo.html
buy the delux dvd version, worth every penny, or cent i guess.
A couple of things you both should know before watching the 2006 version in Poland. It was the final time Gilmour & Wright performed Echoes. The final 4 minutes with just the 2 of them playing off each other is awesome...almost makes me think they knew it was the last time. When Wright died, Gilmour pledged to never play Echoes again ... and he never has.
And thank goodness Nick's Saucerful of Secrets does.

one of the songs in most fans' top3, it has long been the essential piece of concert material (along with careful with that axe eugene) right up to dark side of the moon, which is why there are so many versions far better than pompei.
Careful with that axe Eugene is also a good song.
Agreed. We watched the whole film on our Patreon.
I saw this at a movie theater in 1976 on a double feature with The Song Remains The Same. I’ll admit as a 12 year old kid this bored the shit out of me and my buddy. We liked Pink Floyd DSOTM which was 2 years old then but this (plus the drugs) put us to sleep
This video has been drastically slowed down.

And no one sings me lullabys and no one makes me close my eyes, and so I fling the windows wide and call to you across the skies. Glad I wasn't judged into eternity for being a pitiful man that didn't work hard enough to be able to raise children by my own meagre standards.
Seems slightly under speed....

@@MusicforBusyPeople I like the normal speed better, which is faster.
@@Thombene77 We're going to upload a 25fps version using the older mix for those who prefer that version.
@@MusicforBusyPeople I love the Movie version of the song.
@@MusicforBusyPeople Thanks so much!
