  • These are the two parts of ''Echoes'' ,at the Pompeii , in one video .. 24'06''
    Enjoy :-)
    "Echoes"
    Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
    And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
    The echo of a distant tide
    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
    And no one speaks
    And no one tries
    And 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
    Comes 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 tore the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky.

    Two weeks ago we visited Italy. My wife and I went to Pompeii. I spent an hour sitting on that hallowed ground in the amphitheater, back to the wall listening to Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii. It was an emotional experience. Tears streamed down my face and I didn't know why (Thank God for sunglasses). I wore that VHS tape out as a kid. I never imagined as a thirteen-year-old that at 51 years old I would be live at Pompeii listening to Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii. It was surreal. A top 5 moment in my life.

      What a violent and, in my opinion, inadequate reaction to my post! I didn't say anything bad about Pink Floyd. I don't deny their magic at all and I actually like some of their studio albums ("Animals" more than others). But to claim that the group’s music is the most unsurpassed and will last forever is clearly too much. I contrasted the music of great academic musicians not in order to humiliate Pink Floyd, but to show that musical dimensions can be of a fundamentally higher level. And this is obvious, in my opinion. Let me add that I am not trolling, and if you take my words as “verbal diarrhea" that’s your choice. I specifically responded to the phrase “they are the best and this is forever” (in terms of semantic content).

      The 70’s were really THE standout decade for an insane level of innovation and new music genres being founded. Prog, metal, punk, goth, shock rock, early forms of techno (Kraftwerk, for an example), the earliest forms of hip-hop, and all kinds of experimental music, even including the “classical” genre (one of my favourite composers is George Crumb, who did most of his most iconic works in the 60’a and 70’s. Ever played a piano by striking the string board with a glass rod with a bunch of paper clips stuck under the strings and the damper pedal tied down?…).

    The sound quality of this - in 1971! - is so superb that for me it's genuinely difficult to believe that it's not only live but in the open air. This could have been in a studio. Having read up on it, I found this:
    "Their roadie, Peter Watts, suggested that the 8-track recorder would produce a sound comparable to a studio recording. In addition, the natural echo of the amphitheatre provided good acoustics for the recording."
    Unbelievable.

    I've been listening to this for thirty years and I've only just realised that it is about time. The echoes are echoes of history. The strangers passing and calling to each other are people separated in time but basically the same as each other - unable to speak directly but able to write down what they know, and to read what people in the past have written. Pink Floyd wanted to do this in Pompeii because of the historical resonance - that our own civilization could be lost as Pompeii and the Roman Empire was. (God this is probably so obvious, sorry!) [Edit:] The deep sea is the deep past. (Just as it was in our past, in evolutionary history.) The sky is the future.

    It's the chef's kiss of an idea. I've been to Pompeii. I've walked those very ruins. Seen the preserved souls locked in stone boiled from their own blood. It's a haunting place. I can't imagine what that must have sound like... An hommage to more than themselves... Incredible...

    The magic about Pink Floyd music is: even though you have listened to that song millions of times, each time you hear it you discover some new meaning in it. And the older you get, the more you understand the song. How could they write such great music at such young age? Magical.

They were all highly talented of course, but I feel many simply don’t enjoy the albums where waters took greater control because of his personality and the impact that had on the group.

      @@seankilburn7200 Yeah, they were more consistent at writing the "hits." And I enjoy those albums, maybe besides the Wall, in which apart from a few good hits, Waters thematic desires really cheeses up the whole sound. But I think the direction they took towards more typical songwriting was what made them more accessible but also less interesting. Like, echoes and atom heart and obscured by clouds, etc, there was so much more exploration there that they never got back to. So yeah, those two were more pivotal in getting to the sound that has made them so universally iconic, but imo this sound was a detour from the experimental psych rock that had really no limit to its possibilities.

    Echoes is the soundtrack to my life.
    In the early 90's when I was a teenager, I was listening to this on repeat while all of my friends were into punk or grunge. I loved that music but the Floyd captured my soul. I couldn't get any of them to listen to Echoes, and if I did get one or two, they'd say it was too slow or boring. I felt like I was alone on a musical island. I was in awe of pre-Dark Side of the Moon Floyd, but no one to share my enthusiasm with. Now in my 40's, with the internet, it's amazing to connect to the worldwide community of Floyd fans, and the younger generation that's discovering the band's oeuvre.

    The most amazing thing about listening to Pink Floyd, is at some point in your life, you start to hear the music differently, even if you know the song for years and years. I know this song for more than 15 years. And i don't know what happened, but yesterday for the first time i heared the groove/blues part in the middle of the song. I stopped what i was doing and put my head phone and let myself been carried away. Just WOW ! that was an unexpected experience! AND This is the kind of music that touch the soul !

      I've got news for you, I've been listening to this little tune for MORE THAN 45 years ( closer to 50, I am horrified to admit, lol ) and never knew about this version! SEEING it played live, puts a couple of new perspectives and dimensions on it, and yes, the jazzy influence as you so astutely observed. This is a MASTERPIECE, and the visuals are stunning! What a thrilling find!

      Until you look at a nick Mason drum part on sheet music, you have no idea how hard it is, ok after 47 bars of rests its time to land a perfect, tasteful full finesse barely coherent jazz beat that ties the whole song together now don't mess up. As a drummer Pink Floyd leaves you on an island that only pure technical ability and understanding can get you off of.

      Also, during one of the solos, he utterly shatters one of those massive gauge drumsticks, and keeps the beat going with his left hand while his right hand reaches down for another drumstick, then he just drops right back in seamlessly. If I had to guess, The Muppet Show drummer Animal was styled after Nick, just pure gonzo.
