When that funky middle part comes in, ordinarily you'd play all these notes in a funky jam but not in this case. You draw out everything into these long notes and dyads to let the staccato of the organ come through. That's what Gilmour does but I feel compelled to do the same. It's almost like a reversal of roles. The guitar solo has all these long drawn out notes that sort of provide a foundation for the funkiness of the groove. It's a really cool effect and I'm not sure if I've heard anything similar anywhere else. But the groove becomes so overwhelmingly infectious, it just moves you like a man possessed back and forth in that 1 2 1 2 feel. So powerful. It's not so much dancy as it is, just driving and relentless. So great. Pink Floyd is so genius. There's so many cool little things like that to discover in their music. There's a quality to their music that you just don't find anywhere else.
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 toward 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
IN CRE DI BLE i never had such a great time playing a song, its just increidible, and that last picture is really hard, to see syd that way thanks a lot dude!
Very good backing track. The most obvious way to tell that it's not from the band is because no drummer in the world sounds like Nick Mason. Try to copy Mason's unique style (good luck!) and this backing track can be passed off as original. Anyways, this is one of the best tracks out there because the organ sound is eerily similar.
Nick Mason is quite limited in technique, but his groove is inimitable. First, he is not precise in keeping rhythm. Second, his style is quite musical and he doesn't hit hard. It's this combination that gives a very hippie feel. His drumming is so recognizable that you notice how different a song is when Gilmour or Waters get someone else to do a famour Floyd track.
fisheatingdog Why did Pink floyd need a second drummer in 80th? Maybe because Nick was too busy to train a bit his technigue? You know, cars and all that stuff...
A fantastic video, thank you for uploading it. Could you possibly do the same for Echoes part 2, If it isn't too demanding a task, or let me know how it is achieved and I will do it. :)
how can anybody mistake this for the original? It's far too clean-sounding haha. It's sick, but Meddle has that dusty pre-DSOTM sonic haze going on. This is great though. Loving the organ sound. And it's revelatory to hear how the song is mostly a series of 2 chords repeated before introducing another for the shift...
Is this the actual backing track by Pink Floyd? Sure sounds like it. Where do you get these? Do you "unmix" the vocals and guitar out of them yourself?

![[♫] High Hopes - Pink Floyd Backing Track](/img/n.gif)
I bloody love jamming along to this. I sound terrible but it’s fantastic haha 😂
7:32 funky part
Weh ever I watch live at Pompeii,I like to think the old spirits are listening.I also like to think they are pleased with what they hear.
I love that this isn't even the original, but it still slaps as a backing.
Roger was a master at writing basslines...
One of the best backing tracks I've ever heard.

Overhead the albatross

The best Floyd 😭😭😭😱😱😱😱

With all my love to Pink Floyd I have to say that Nick Mason is a quite average drummer

Maybe for you every member of your favourite band is holy. For me they are not. You are just like a Bieber fan, but only in rock
Its strange that such morons are able to listen Pink Floyd.
Simply amazing! Congrats, man!
Could you post this backing track but only the keyboard part?
I love Jamming with this. I can do up to 6.5 mins 😃
5:30
Gracias, vi el cover y me preguntaba como hiciste para sacar el sonido de la guitarra de la canción.. Gracias again
cool
is this the studio version or the one from pompeii?
thanks for uploading
A fantastic video, thank you for uploading it. Could you possibly do the same for Echoes part 2, If it isn't too demanding a task, or let me know how it is achieved and I will do it. :)
I did read somewhere that they once shared the bill with Hendrix. But never knew there was a photo of them together.
John Doe that’s where I heard about Hendrix trying acid then he came back to the states turn Everyone else on in his circles
Is this on A=440Hz or in some frequency lower just like the pompeii version?
oh thx man,but iam also sick of my DOGS guitar pro track,heres another request for dogs backing track:)
Does the organ have a Extra Gravel switch ?
Can you share a good quality audio file???
do you have part 2??
You, sir... Are a fucking legend
08:15....did Nick really use his double bass drums for once? :D
Is this the album version?
Is it just me or does the tempo of this increase a whole lot as the track progresses?
Okay
wish I could download this :/
05:35 solo
Pompeii.
theMstanglover hey, nice avatar
Is this the official thing?
how can anybody mistake this for the original? It's far too clean-sounding haha. It's sick, but Meddle has that dusty pre-DSOTM sonic haze going on. This is great though. Loving the organ sound. And it's revelatory to hear how the song is mostly a series of 2 chords repeated before introducing another for the shift...
Vim pelo antídoto, devo ser uns dos poucos
Realmente!!
A# minor for before the funky part, you're welcome.
Вопще красное вино помогает
Is this the actual backing track by Pink Floyd? Sure sounds like it. Where do you get these? Do you "unmix" the vocals and guitar out of them yourself?
few people get the bass part right in the "funky part"
Daniel Neira Yea, it's not right it his version at all.
+John Smith Agreed. There's less funk in this version because the notes are held too long and the syncopation is different.
you got it man
Roger Waters was somethin' else man, no one can replicate his unique style
you must do pigs three different ones
Solo 5:36
01:05
7:30
05:30
Start: 1:18
Me thinks he did. Thats funny
The key is C#??
+Juchault Antoine or E mayor
its c sharp minor
It's C sharp minor but it switches to C sharp major briefly at points which is what gives the melody that modal sound.
Good job,but keyboards and organ are on the wrong channel. They should be panned on left channel,bass on center and guitar on right channel.
NyTrA Xp still... he got those organs spot on
Funny how people think this is actually pink floyd. It's obviously not.
well fuck me sideways running and call me sally...curious, how does one create a backing track?
great work! go to see my version of the backing track with funk part on my channel...in the video ''echoes the full cover part 2''
one of the chords are clearly wrong
Apocalypsenow
solo starts 4:20
No man, it starts at 5:30
lol u right :D im sorry
Don't touch pink Floyd please 😢
Solo 4:20
5:30
Bass in funky part is terrible...
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
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
Hey wait a minute. That's Pink Floyd's lyrics. You big phoney. You didn't write that at all. Hey everyone look at the phoney.
Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
An echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one called us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
Something stirs and something tries
Starts to climb toward 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 called us to the land
And no one crosses there alive
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun
Almost everyday 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 lullabys
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
