      Gilmour exemplifies the word cool in his laid-back manner, never jumping around or even pulling off faces like most other lead guitarists, especially in that time frame. His humble ways make me think that he doesn't realize how good he truly is.

      It's worth reading Nick Mason's autobiography. You get the feeling he didn't rate himself which I find very odd. He talks about telling Gilmour to get a better drummer to lay down the drum lines for Momentary Lapse of Reason.
      Personally I love his drumming and couldn't imagine Floyd with anybody else.

    Andrew Loyd Webber stole the “dun dun dun dun dun...... dun dun dun dun dun...” from Pink Floyd when he “wrote” Phantom of the Opera.
    If you ever listen to “It’s A Miracle” from Roger Waters’ solo material, you will see just how much he hates Loyd Webber for stealing their shit.

    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 showed us to the land
    And no one knows the where's or why's
    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 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

    Pink Floyd is one of those groups where there is not ANY bad seat at their concerts - they have interest throughout the audience space, hidden speakers for random background voices, light effects, a giant dragon popping up. At the very back is where the voice came "I am not frightened of dying..." I had a very "respected" feeling at their concert - like they were aware the audience paid quite a lot for the tickets and they had a responsibility to provide a good show to everyone. I suddenly loved them all the more.

      Speaking of where did the time go, that is coincidentally the abbreviated title of my favorite song. If you are not familiar with it, it is a composition written and beautifully sung by the late Sandy Denny when she was a member of Fairport Convention. Led Zeppelin were huge fans and you know that you are a member of the elite group when they ask you to sing on their record. Sandy was the only non-group member to ever perform on a Zeppelin album and they even gave her her own symbol for singing on The Battle of Evermore. The definitive version of Who Knows Where The Time Goes is on Fairport Convention's Unhalfbricking album and certainly worth a listen.

    Awesome reaction. This has always struck me as a Floyd song showing the transition from their earlier, 60's psychedelic sound, to their more modern, funky and sometimes r and b sound they perfected in Dark Side of the Moon. The bridge with the funky bass guitar, insane drumming and psychedelic guitar is what sells this for me - I can't name the number of bands I've listened to that fall-into a groove, and I've thought "wow, this band MUST'VE been influenced by Pink Floyd's Echoes". If you want to see an interesting tribute to this film, check out the video for Beastie Boy's "Gratitude." I've read rumors that they purchased the Pink Floyd amp cabinets for that video, but I don't know if it's true. Doesn't matter, just goes to show how many bands and genres Floyd has influenced....Oh, and I've subscribed:)
