- Are you a fan of early Pink Floyd and their keyboardist, Richard Wright? We are too! Enjoy this deep look into instruments and techniques used by Rick in the early days of the band leading up to the time of their live-performance film release, Live At Pompeii. This includes the type of instruments he used on Obscured By Clouds, Atom Heart Mother, A Saucerful of Secrets and Meddle. We faithfully recreated his early setup and had musician Mike Kiker deliver a killer performance of their beloved song, Echoes. Don’t forget to hit the follow button!
Nice video - chimes well with most my research too. (Dom Beken - keyboardist with Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets.)
And thank YOU, sir! I was lucky enough to catch the evening Roger sang "set the controls" with the band at the beacon Theater in NYC.
Also saw the more recent tour in Buffalo, New York.
I will say that I would have preferred if you use the original for Farfisa organ sound on the piper at the gates stuff. I do like the way you modernized it in general, But for some of the classic stuff I would have liked to have heard the original sonorities.
In any event thank you for being part of such an important project, and I really hope you guys tour the states again!
All these years I've been enjoying the music. Now I finally see how it was made. Many more layers than I realized. Thank you!
Ok, that was just incredible, amazing! Thank you for giving Rick his due. He deserves so much more attention than he gets. Understanding that he was always overshadowed by Roger and David but this really shows how much of a genius he was and thank you again for this.
So good thank you ! My favourite tune all my life! Well done
We are soulmates. Absolutely my favorite period of Pink Floyd was obscured by clouds and everything before. And as a keyboard player myself, to me Rick (RIP) was the backbone. I saw a Pompeii matinee at 11 years old the day after it opened and I was the only one in the theater. I saw it 16 times after that.
I first saw the band in 1975, and every tour after that. At the first tour without Roger I sat in the first row right in front of Rick, add intermission I called out his name and he looked at me and I yelled "THANK YOU!" And he nodded his head, some closure there.
I'm going to forgive you for changing the key to Echoes, especially because your guitar solo was surprisingly smokin' considering your keyboard ability!
They were really two main reasons why I changed the key.
1. As a kid, I had the live at Pompeii VHS and since they didn't do the transfer from PAL to NTSC correctly, the pitch of that was always a little bit sharp. Even though I have perfect pitch and know the original is in C#, I always kind of heard the Live at Pompeii Version in D. So it's a bit of a nod to that.
And 2. With this particular Leslie and Steinway piano combination, the high C pinged/resonated better than the B. So even though I most likely already decided to do it in the higher key, that was a happy accident that made the key change work in our favor.
Vince and Vinnie have done the best job on Planet Earth with the EMEAPP keyboard museum. Seriously.
If not for you guys and people like you, these masterpiece instruments would disappear forever. Thanks for the truly passionate labor of love.
Excellent breakdown of Floyd’s early techniques and instruments and great performance mix. Nailed it Mike!!
Great job, well done deconstructing all that. Class
We were all waiting for that groovin part of the song and you nailed it...great demo of the old museum pieces.
Thanks man. I play it for 40 years but learned a lot by your performance.
amazing! Thank you so much!
Beautiful analog sounds. Excellent music. Takes me back to those wonderful days in my youth.
Thank you for what it takes to make one song. There are no words. Thank you Rick and Mike for the musical journey.
FULL SEND
Very good indeed. Or, as the Englishmen says: Not bad at all. This was very much needed, as many documentaries about Pink Floyd sometimes bother to use original sound to shown clips.
The performance of "Echoes" was excellent, and I can't stop myself to wonder if Mr. Mike Kiker does makes his own music in the tradtion of early Pink Floyd?
As a matter of fact, I do. Search up my name and L'Inferno 1911. Did a whole film score with some Floydian touches.
Amazing¡!!!!!!
Awesome demonstration and great cover. Let’s go Mike!!!
This was a great pleasure to watch and to listen to. Thank you very much for a trip down to the era of Pink Floyd I love most
Great work!
Out of this world! THANKS!
Wonderful!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌
Wonderful demonstrations and recreation. I realize the focus was on the keyboards but it t would have been nice to catch a few glimpses of Mike playing the other instruments.
Not gonna disagree there. 😉
Great video !
Actually there’s more instances of piano through a Leslie and synth filters etc - klaus Wunderlich Sound 2000 vol 2 . Not the same kind of music but interesting from a technical point of view .
Wow, this is absolutely fantastic! The information and performance are top notch. Would love to see you do something similar for Tony Banks.
That's definitely been considered.
@@MikeKiker oh really? Wow, that's awesome.
@@pasi8800 A bit harder to play of course!
Nice
I heard an early and rare floyd song indicative of Rick's style. It may have been written whenSyd departed. It had a baroque-like pipie organ melody,,kind of upbeat,a psychodelic middle 8 guitar solo,was about 6 minutes long, and had s "young love" theme. Snippets of lyrics were;"AS WE DANE","STILL WE DANCE",and i think,"PICTURES IN TIME NOW THAT MOVEMENTS ARE ALIVE". Does anyone know the title of this rare song?
Elsewhere on the UA-cam, here are Rick Wright & Dave Gilmour recapping the story of the intro to "Echoes"
