IMO, this is a very underrated album. Not as many offerings, because side II is all Echoes, one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Not sure if you react to that, but have a bowl ready.
Once in a while, if the stars are aligned correctly, you’ll catch “fearless” on the radio. And you know it’s going to be a great day.
A couple of months ago I was eating at a Wahlburgers in a Hy-Vee grocery store when Gilmour's cover of "There's No Way Out Of Here" came on whatever the restaurant had tuned to.
...I was kinda floored. I stopped eating to just sit and listen.
It WAS a good day. 😊
My ears require hearing San Tropez at least once every year.
My ear requires reconfiguration after hearing it. Notice I said one ear, listening to San Tropez and Seamus gave my other ear cancer, so they lobbed it off
Seamus was Steve Marriott's German Sheppard that Gilmour was watching while Humble Pie was touring the US.
I think you're going to like going back further in the Floyd catalog. Lots of goodness awaits! Thanks.
The football team is Liverpool. The song is chalked "you'll never walk alone" (YNWA)
David Gillmore actually done a duo with Paul Mccarthy at the, now famous cavern club in Matthew Street, Liverpool. The just turned up at the club and done a few songs then left.
I agree with your wife. She is onto it!
There is also Mademoiselle Nobs featuring a dog - an afghan
Seen on the Pompeii video - this is an essential watch - for Echoes - if nothing else
As good as Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and Animals are...this is their best work.
Cool, love the way you're doing the album. Climb that hill in your own way. Fearless.
You'll never walk alone has long been associated with Liverpool FC,it's their fans on the recording.
shamus is the star of the show. got to love it.
Yeh -- Pink Floyd before they realized that everybody gets old, and their parents and schools were the reason they were so messed up. The bits of humor are quite welcome here. I love Atom Heart Mother and Meddle, before that massive darkness set in. Thanks Roger!
The dog was singing (and a groovy chord change in his solo). They held a microphone in front of him as he howled with the guitar and piano. You can watch this. I think it's the Live At Pompeii film.
Awesome album.
Not him. Her. Call yourself a Floyd fan??? Heh heh. Rock snobs, don't ya hate 'em?
@@TheOriginalFILIBUSTA In fairness, who in their right mind would call a female dog 'Seamus'?... Apart from Steve Marriott ofc.
@@TheOriginalFILIBUSTA
That's a good girl.
I don't remember, wasn't the dog credited as "Duchess"? Let me check...nope, I'm wrong..."For that performance, Seamus the Collie was replaced by a female Borzoi named Nobs."@@stewpot6998
Not the same dog as in Pompeii
I never tracked with the disdain for the middle tracks off this album. I can see why but I always enjoyed them. "Fearless" for sure is a strong track. I'm gonna go play it on my acoustic after I leave this comment. Great solid acoustic rock song, and "St. Tropez" - like is there a better song for a BEACH PLAYLIST? Or a drive up the Pacific Coast Highway in California or something comparable on the Mediterranean I have never been too...I can imagine driving a convertible around the windy roads on the Greek Isle of Santorini...It is so like 'chill on the sand and let the breeze roll across you and waves sound in the background' - perfect. And David's playing is so rooted in the blues, despite how incredibly he developed his own unique tone and style to fit their music seamlessly across all kinds of melodies, moods, and sonic landscapes, that while the blues is evident quite often, and he obviously evolved into a world class all around player held in the highest heights of guitar legends, I like the simple delving back to the true original 'quasi' Delta blues style, from which he probably first fell in love with playing (as did so many of his contemporaries in the British Blues movement). Its nice to hear him just do an old acoustic blues song. He is one of my 2 primary guitar heroes and influences, so I studied and absorbed his every note in my teens. I didn't realize it then, but he was laying the foundation for my future love and lifelong passion for the Blues. As for those two songs, I see it as he and Roger each got to have a little fun and sure, the dog howling may not have been a great choice for musical staying power for the track over the decades, but it is easily forgivable. I mean, a couple years prior they made the song with all the squirrels and rabbits chittering and chattering while on Lysergic - so it's a vestige of the old as they head to the new. Those 2 tracks - as I've read through the years - are the lynchpin of most negative critique of the album, but for me, they epitomize this album as an expression of experimentation, enjoying music, and the ability to imagine the band just having fun together, a few albums under their belts, coming into their full selves. And all the while what's to come has got to be humming ever more beneath the surface. With all the storied tension that was to follow, it's nice to just think of them happy and having a good time (which it genuinely appears to be as such when you see the 'Pompeii' film.) That being said, "Echoes" and 'happy' aren't really words I'd put together much, but the lack of cohesion in the album (lack by comparison to what's to follow) is kind of nice, with the run of 4 albums from 'Dark Side' to 'The Wall' all being so - and it is all in a good/great way - SO cohesive and intended to be full ideas and listened to in their entirety, this album just works for me. And it does feel cohesive - with such powerful statement made by the incredible opening and closing tracks. "Echoes" may be their greatest extended musical piece (I'm not 100% on that, as compared to the other 2 being "Shine On" and "Dogs" and each so brilliant, it is a toss up for me - those are just my personal 3 not to say other earlier songs couldn't be considered, just my opinion, they're such an amazing accomplishment artistically to have created that trio of songs that all share DNA and yet have distinct sounds apart from each other), when I was spending a lot of time with this album upon first immersing myself in it, the light heartedness of these songs always gave me room to breath going into that epic journey of an ending. Enjoying this a lot! Thanks, peace//
Coincidentally, Liverpool FC are playing right now at Anfield, so YNWA is ringing out as you released this.
That's a real dog singing with the band
Good spot, it’s the Liverpool Football Club supporters singing You’ll Never Walk Alone. It’s a bit strange because Roger Waters is a big fan of Arsenal football club and football rivalries in England can be very deep amongst supporters. The band even formed their own football team in the 1970s, Pink Floyd FC, I assumed they used to play kickabouts with the road crew and other English bands. I know Robert Plant is a big Wolves fan and used to play football.
There's a fun video of Echoes played over the "infinity" part at the end of 2001 A Space Odyssey.
The length of soundscape section seems to make even more sense when you have all the effects of the movie!
And even the lyrics seem to have been made for the theme of the movie or vice versa 😎
I always think this album sounds better in the summer, it's very relaxed and relaxing. People have a pop at Seamus but you can't play Meddle and leave it out
50,000 fans singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” at a Liverpool game lifts your heart like nothing else. If you want to be nerdy there are many clips on UA-cam of the Liverpool fans singing it. If you do, go for the clip after the 4 : 0 win against Barcelona. The team and crowd are singing it to each other.
I love the whole album. I don't know what people have against Seamus. It's just a straight-up blues.whats wrong with that? Apparently, Joe Bonamassa told David Gilmour he should record a blues album. His reply, I've been playing blues all my life, just not with a blues band
The rising guitar chords on the first track remind me of It's Because I Love You by Aussie group The Masters Apprentices.....who were overseas at the time and recorded songs in the USA .
As for St Tropez, it sounds like John Lennon giving a sarcastic performance of a Paul McCartney number.......what happens when Gilmour and the others let Waters do the arrangement. lol😅
Dev on St. Tropez "You don't have to wear pants!" Ha ha ha!!!
She says so much stuff like that, I don't even notice half the time. Lol
Although the album is from 1971, I think this part is a bit of a throwback to the second half of the sixties. It reminds me a lot of the Beatles in atmosphere and sound. This whole album is great!
Something, ..something..algorythms. Comment. Great insight, Dev. Looking forward to Echos. Happy Holidays❗☃🎄❄
The dark side of the moon marks the end of the era before Roger Waters took them down a darker path. I like the earlier instrumental stuff more, so I agree with you.
The first song had strong hints of Jimmy Page in it... to me.
Fearless YNWA Liverpool fc Spion kop / Floyd ❤
Seamus reminds me of the final track on Tool's 2019 album Fear Inoculum called "Mockingbeat"
Cant wait for you to react to the last track of this album called "Echoes".
The dog here was Steve Marriotts dog Gilmour was watching while Humble Pie was in the US. They used a Afghan Hound in the Pompeii movie. You guys need to react to the whole Pompeii movie. Not just the Echoes portion.
We plan to do Echoes from Pompeii on UA-cam and the whole movie on our Patreon.
@@MusicforBusyPeople Cool! Can't wait.
Another great version is the last time David ever played the song. He and Rick Wright did it together just before Richard passes away@@MusicforBusyPeople
@@danfabian4037 we're planning on doing that one, too!
It’s Called Mademoiselle Knobs … the Dog’s Blues….
The third part will blow you away! Part 2, not quite as much...
I prefer this to DSOTM to be honest. For some ealry stuff, I'd suggest digging into the first album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It's nothing like this
Liverpool
This is probably the strangest album cover on a Floyd album. It is two pictures laid one over another the background is a close up of an ear (with some kind of filter) and the overlay pic is of ripples in water. It is said that Storm Thorgerson (did all their cover art) had suggested a close up of a Baboons butt for the Meddle album cover and one of the band members piped up with "I'd rather have an ear under water" not sure who said it. So that's what Storm brought in for them to approve.
Fearless was a very good song, I give it 4 stars, the next two were not so good, they both are closer to 1 star. Looking forward to Echoes, a masterpiece, although the middle section doesn't do it for me any longer like it did when I was in a different state of mind. Love the videos guys
If they had finished this side stronger more people would put it up with the albums that came after, the first 3 songs are great and then 2 that just don't belong on the same album with One of These Days and Echoes.
@@vicprovost2561 Totally agree, some of their music is so freaking good, whereas some songs are just terrible and as you said, "Don't belong". If they had done away with the weird shit and the crappy music, they would've been on the same level as Zeppelin
@@Ledzepnut Exactly, that is also why I give Zeppelin the edge, they have very grew questionable tunes where Floyd took a few albums to really hit their stride. At their peak, for me those 2 are tied with the WHO for just best sound, songwriting and just the way the very best music can affect you.
Darkside is great, but not my favorite. I like Animals and Piper
At The Gates Of Dawn, better.
Seamus is the worst PF song ever. Especially considering how peaceful the whole album is.. lulls you with chill vibes and then attacks you with nails on a chalkboard.
