Yo KB, no question you are really enjoying this journey. There are many, many artist with 20 minute tunes, none the same as Pink, but they are all different from each other too. Here is a Top Song List you need to explore: Deep Purple - Space Truckin live "Made in Japan". 20 minute version. Known as the best TOP 5 live album. Then Finish the rest of the album because you will be hooked. Frank Zappa - Waka Jawaka, + Gumbo Variations Instrumental that will keep you guessing and blow your mind. Yes - Close to the Edge 20 minute version. Most first listeners are blown away. Yes, is a spiritual based group, so lots of love and happy feelings when they are not doing war songs. Chicago - Song 58. Starts off as Blues, then Prog-Rock, then Hard FUNK Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick. 45 minute tune about a family of scottish kings.
Love this. An audience of souls an bodies frozen in place from one of the worlds largest volcanic eruptions AND an audience of sculptures that survived. Wow.
And the performance is also an offering to the ancient Roman Gods. This is in Italy. Pompeii pronounced Pom Pay. You can almost hear them all dancing with each other if you allow your ear the freedom to bend with the wind.
Volcano eruption buried the city and amphitheatre in 79 AD. 1823 the amphitheatre was unburied and cleared out. And October 1971 Floyd arrived to put on a performance for the first time in 1,892 years.
The gig was in Italy and the village of Pompeii And it was Mount Vesuvulio that erupted. In my opinion and a lot of other true die hearted fans will say that the wall is totally different than any other albums. Just listen to all the different Floyd offered
Great reaction! I remember buying this on VHS and wore it out...don't know where it is now but thank God for UA-cam and reactions like your's to keep this memory alive! ❤
You Gotta Love David Gilmour he just stands there and makes that guitar sing. No extraneous movements no gyrations he just stands there and makes Magic
Location for this song: Pompeii Italy about 40 to 60 miles Southwest of Rome. Was covered in Ash in 79 AD from a volcanic eruption from Mount Vesuvius! There was so much Ash that it basically covered and froze the entire City in time!! Archaeologists kept running into hollow spots in the Ash and one guy got a brilliant idea to fill one of those hollow places with plaster or epoxy. When the plaster/epoxy hardened they chipped the ash away and realized it was a human form with an expression of horror on their face. They started filling every hole they found and would find mostly humans and some animals. You can go to Pompeii Italy and see this for yourself now and it's quite amazing to see exactly what people were doing at the moment of their death!!!!!
Was in Naples Italy last week , which is 13miles from Pompeii . As a lifelong Floydian , did the tourist thing and had a guided tour around the whole place . Although it poured with rain my enthusiasm wasn't dampened (excuse the pun.) I've seen the film many times but to actually be in that Amphitheatre and soak it all up was really quite something for this 62 year old fan .
David Gilmour is my dream boyfriend. POM-PAY for us type speakers. This was made in person with no spectators, but fantastic acoustics due to them recording in an actual coliseum. My love for this is immeasurable.
High time you watch them Live with audience, because they were the biggest Live-act ever to grace a stage. Please listen to "COMFORTABLY NUMB - Live Pulse 1994".
Agreed, 💯. But….especially since Kezzy is happy to do full albums….he should do The Wall first, so he has heard the studio version before going into the live one.
Richard (Rick) Wright - keys; the true heart of Pink Floyd; Rest In Peace. He's the guy with the beard. This is one of the few songs he contributed vocals. Gilmour is the other guy singing.
This is my favorite live recording ever. Freaky that they played at this ancient place. Take a look at the audience... one dude in a lawn chair. I want to be that dude!
they also did one of their older songs "a saucerful of secrets" in pompeii. for me it's the best version of that song. the ending of it always brings me to tears.
Pompeii is the town that was buried by volcanic ash and found in modern times and unburied. This stadium where they are playing is one of the ancient structures.
Yes it's him making these seagull sounds with a guitar. It's a very special technique that only works if you plug in your wah wah pedal backwards. He found that out by accident 55 years ago...
David Gilmour - Guitar, vocals (most vocals 69-75, lead vocals on most of darkside, mostly harmonizes with Richard) Richard Wright - keys, organs, vocals (he's got a few spotlights earlier on in the career which I think are some of their best songs. I think the last time he had a solo vocal performance was the chorus for time. Otherwise he's mostly blended in with background vocals.) Roger Waters - bass, vocals (he does a few early career songs but starting in 1977 he becomes the more dominant lead vocalist until the first break up in 82. His vocals were all over animals except the main verses of dogs which were sung by David.) Nick Mason - drums percussion, says the "one of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces" line in one of these days
3 of these 4 guys performed in the 1994 PULSE live songs. 45 years later, in 2016, at age 70, David Gilmour returned to Pompeii to perform with a sold out live audience.
David Gilmour, lead guitar and vocals. Roger Waters, bass and vocals. Richard Wright, keyboard, synthesizer, piano. Nick Mason, drums and percussion. Each of them a musical GENIUS! Best band ever!!
Pronounced POM-pay was destroyed when the volcano, Mount Vesuvius erupted. David Gilmour plays lead guitar Roger Waters plays bass guitar Rick Wright on organ/keyboard [RIP] Nick Mason on Drums and LSD during 2 of the beats at Pompeii
In the middle part they were trying to capture the "feeling" of Pompei, after what has happened there, when that volcano erupted and wiped the whole population and there was nothing left there but wilderness and ashes.
This was from a concert they played in an ancient arena in Pompeii to nobody but the cameras and the stagehands and some local kids. The Concert was the basis of a Movie, and this Song Echo's was broken into two parts. The first part started the movie, and the second part ended it. In the actual Pompeii concert movie there were hald a dozen songs in between. The directors cut is worth a watch, it mixes in London scenes at Abby Roads Studio, and shows the boys very young, joking around and talking about their music and each other. They were very unusual folks, even for musicians, even in the 60's and early 70's. They definitely had focus on the music which set them apart and kept them together, and kept them unique and constantly growing as a band. You can see the changes in style thruout the years. The early stuff was very spacy and out there. Jamming with imagination and sound effects. Syd Barret and the band used to play for hours in the London Undedrground with no song and no music, They had certain themes, and that was the work. Later to become the seeds of songs on albums.

Pompeii is/was a city near Napoli (not far from Rome/Italy) that was buried under lava and ashes from the erupting volcano in 79 A.D. - Pink Floyd decided to play to the ghosts of Pompeii ... without audience. In 2016, David Gilmour came back and played to an audience.
On the album 'Meddle' which you have done, Echoes appears as a single track, taking up a full side of the vinyl. This performance at Pompeii was recorded for film, and for some reason the track was split into 2 sections, to open & close the film. This has reunited the 2 parts, but explains that strange breaking disconnect in the middle.
It's pronounced POM-PAY as in, "The island of Pompeii was destroyed when the volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted on August 24, 79 CE. The volcanos' most recent eruption was on March 17, 1944."
I went to Pompeii on my senior trip to Italy. The tour guide said, "Julius Caesar spoke here; Augustus Caesar spoke here; the Pink Floyd played here". Pretty good company. The entire "concert" would be great full a full "album" reaction -- regardless, "A Saucerful of Secrets" (the song, not album) from this performance will surely bend your mind!
You’re awesome man! I’ve watched a few of your Pink Floyd vids. I love that you get so immersed with the genius of PF. You should watch the whole Live at Pompeii film. Thanks man!
That's how they looked, in 1972, playing at Pompeii, in Italy. At the start, from L- R...Dave Gilmore (Guitars/Vocals), Nick Mason (Drums), Roger Waters (Bass Guitar/Vocals), and then Rick Wright (Keyboards/Vocals). RIP Rick, who passed away in 2008.
@@romanfedrich6967 I thought everyone knew? That's Dave's real name! He only uses 'Dave Gilmour' on stage, off stage, he's Dave Gilmore. That way, fans wouldn't recognise him! 😂 Ok, fair cop, it was late, when I left my comment!🤪
They were young and precocious. David Gilmore -( clean shaven) Roger waters, black t shirt- Richard Wriight singing with Gilmore and playing keyboards, and nick mason on drums.
This is good as it has all four original members like all the albums you’ve listened to so far, but anything from the “Pulse” concert will TOTALLY blow your mind. The original members are David Gilmore (all guitars), Roger Waters (bass), Richard Wright (keyboards) and Nick Mason (drums and percussion).
Hey! If your wanna see HOW a lot of the playing on Echoes was done, then look up Brit Floyd (Pink Floyd Tribute Band) playing Echoes and you’ll be able to see a lot of the techniques David Gilmour used. Also, these guys are SO good, they played at Gilmour’s 60th birthday party.
There's cool and then there's a shirtless Dave Gilmour playing a black strat in a 2000 year old Roman amphitheatre cool. Coolest live video on youtube.
That boiling mud is from the volcano Vesuvius which buried the city of Pompei when it erupted in 79AD. You can visit the volcano and Pompei which has been uncovered in many years of excavations. They are still uncovering parts of it to this very day. The arena is part of the uncovered part of the city
One of the more transcendental songs on the Meddle album, Echoes is even more haunting among the ghostly ruins of Pompei. (I've actually been to Pompei and walked around that amphitheater back in the '80s while I lived abroad.)
why pompeii is famous The city of Pompeii is famous because it was destroyed in 79 CE when a nearby volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted, covering it in at least 19 feet (6 metres) of ash and other volcanic debris. The city's quick burial preserved it for centuries before its ruins were discovered in the late 16th century.
Now that you’ve gotten a massive dose of Pink Floyd music, you need to get an idea of their massive show. Do yourself a favor and watch the live “Pulse” concert video. Whether you do a reaction, or not, it will blow your mind.
I agree, I have suggested a number of times that the 1994 Pulse concert would allow him to enjoy the visuals of them performing a wide variety of their master pieces, this is the first live session he's done so far, I do hope that he considers Pulse in London, the entire concert even if done in segments would be awesome for sure, all we can do is hope and see what the future brings, Personally I believe the Pulse concert in London is the most awe inspiring man made spectacle I've ever witnessed in my 67 times around the sun !! EPIC !! God Bless
There's no point in going straight to Pulse w/o the Wall first. You have to listen to the studio versione of Comfortably Numb first in order to appreciate more what they did to it live.
Yeah those weird sounds were guitars. That screaming sound was discovered by accident when they plugged a floor petal device in backward with the inputs and outputs reversed and it made a weird feedback screeching sound. They figured out how to harness the sound and control it. Meanwhile, if you back up to the same section, you’ll noice Roger Waters on bass making the whoosh whooshy background sound on the bass, moving his hand in some circular motion, rubbing on the strings. It is truly crazy how so many of the odd sounds they achieve are just guitars.
Filmed in an ancient amphitheater in Italy. Pompeii was a city which was destroyed by Mt Vesuvius thousands of years ago. Now you gotta hit the songs in between Echoes parts l & ll. I hope you listen to some of the earlier, even trippier stuff. Yes, Gilmour was making those high pitched sounds with his guitar.
David and Roger share lead vocals depending on the song. Their voices really contrast each other. “Hey You” is a good example. Here you have Rick and Dave’s voices in Harmony.
@@kham1163I remember reading somewhere that every now and again David and Richard would switch up who did the high Harmony and who did the lower one during Echoes! Of course in this version I do believe it is David doing the high Harmony!!
The "screams" are in fact Gilmour on guitar. Something along the lines of looping feedback through a distortion pedal of vice versa. Oh and it's Roger Waters on the bass guitar
Prepare yourself for The Wall. It's highly emotional and the main character, Floyd "Pink" Pinkerton is dealt with every emotional hardship from the birth scene "In the Flesh?" Where you'll hear him being told as he's being born, that all these issues will be "dropped on him". Smoke something before, during, and after, trust me. You'll need it
Pronounced POM-PAY. It's an ancient Roman amphitheater in Italy where they played; the city of Pompeii was destroyed by the volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D., over 2,000 years ago.
Pompeii was a Roman empire city, completely destroyed by an eruption of the near volcano Vesuvio. So it's in Italy, Campania region. The boiling mud is one of many little volcanos at Pozzuoli, a town close to Pompeii. They call them "solfatare".
Pink Floyd is known to have the MOST ELABORATE light shows and are actually credited to having the first light/stage shows! You could do a long list of reactions JUST on their live shows!
I came home blasted on many things one night. Crept upstairs and put on Meddle on 10 with headphones but forgot to turn off external speakers. My dad exploded into my room screaming.
As the title says it is Pompeii in Italy. The city that was engulfed by the volcano Vesu in times of the Roman Empire. However, the city is still around or they have rebuilt it again. However, they are playing at the place of the ancient amfi theatre in Pompeii. The boiling mud you see is from the volcano which is still active although nobody expects it to erupt again as it did back then. Archeologically Pompeii is a treasure since it perfectly preserved everything as it was engulfed by lava so it gives historians a good view of what everyday life in the Roman empire looked like.
Want live Pink Floyd check out from the Pulse shows. Wish You Were Here, The Great Gig in the Sky, Comfortably Numb, On The Turning Away, Run Like Hell.....
Hi Kezzyboii, I hope you asked for a bit more information. Pompeii (Po,-PAY-ee) was a city near Naples in Italy. The city was buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Mount Vesuvius is still an active volcano, with "boiling mud" and sulfur gasses. When it comes to Pink Floyd - I have to start with Richard Wright on the keyboards and piano. In my opinion the underdog, but in reality the true genius of Pink Floyd. He was the "builder", the "architect" of the group. He created the ambiance, was always looking for new ways in music, introduced the "Egyptian chord" (7/8) what gives PF their special sound. Then we have Nick Mason on the drums. And Roger Waters on bass guitar. A genius when it comes to lyrics and a man with a (too) big ego. He wanted to be the boss, Gilmour disagreed, and Pink Floyd was done. The all went solo, so my advice would be : listen to their solo work and decide for yourself.
You should listen to “The Wall” next. It’s after they got super famous from “dark side of the moon” and “wish you were here.” The front man began hating fame wishing he could distance himself from the fans and the spotlight in general. So he imagined building a wall to shield himself from the world.
David Gilmour - Lead Guitar, Vocals Roger Waters - Bass Guitar, Vocals Richard Wright - Keyboards, Vocals Nick Mason - Drums Both Gilmour and Waters sing lead on different songs, with Wright adding backing vocals occasionally. Gilmour & Waters both sing on Echoes.
I'd say the BEST version of Echoes is Live in Gdansk, followed by Pompeii. Gdansk is also the last time Echoes will be performed, as keyboardist Richard Wright unfortunately passed away after that concert, and David Gilmour will not play the song again without him. I highly recommend checking out Comfortably Numb - Live at PULSE as well!
Music? Waters didn't write the music, all members did. Unfortunately in those years ('60s) it was customary to give credit for lyrics to a single person for a whole album... so Waters got formally credited for all of it but who knows. That changed across the '70s (Meddle is '71). Waters still wanted to have all the credits and started slowly rejecting contributions from other members... you can see that in Animals and finally in The Wall, which is actually almost entirely Waters' lyrics. But Music? Come one, David and Rick were the musicians in PF. Echoes in particular is a collection of music pieces by all members. Both David and Nick recognized the importance of Rick's contribution to Echoes, and chose not to play it live after his death (although Nick make an exception). And BTW, my fav PF album is the Wall. I'm a big fan of Waters as an artist. But I don't give him more credit than it's due. So the Wall? yes, ideas and lyrics are Waters' (and I love them). Meddle? Not so much.
For the last 3 and 1/2 to 4 minutes of the song David Gilmour the lead singer lead guitarist and Richard Wright the keyboardist and another singer are having a musical conversation with their instruments basically telling one another that was fun, we have to go now and I'll see you later!!!
Roger Waters is on Bass - He also writes the Lyrics and most of the songs basic structure David Gilmour is Guitar and Vocals - He writes the guitar parts and some songs too Richard Wright plays Keyboard/piano and all the other random strange sounds you might hear in their music and also sometimes writes Nick Mason is the drummer and a great one too.
I went to 87 live Floyd shows and Roger Waters "THE WALL" Live in Berlin celebrating the wall of Berlin Germany being torn down under President Reagan's negotiations in November 1989. I named my youngest son Roger David after the 2 lead members in 1993

The city of Pompeii is famous because it was destroyed in 79 CE when a nearby volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted, covering it in at least 19 feet (6 metres) of ash and other volcanic debris. The city's quick burial preserved it for centuries before its ruins were discovered in the late 16th century.

Now that you’ve gotten a massive dose of Pink Floyd music, you need to get an idea of their massive show. Do yourself a favor and watch the live “Pulse” concert video. Whether you do a reaction, or not, it will blow your mind.
I agree, I have suggested a number of times that the 1994 Pulse concert would allow him to enjoy the visuals of them performing a wide variety of their master pieces, this is the first live session he's done so far, I do hope that he considers Pulse in London, the entire concert even if done in segments would be awesome for sure, all we can do is hope and see what the future brings, Personally I believe the Pulse concert in London is the most awe inspiring man made spectacle I've ever witnessed in my 67 times around the sun !! EPIC !! God Bless
I agree 1000%
There's no point in going straight to Pulse w/o the Wall first. You have to listen to the studio versione of Comfortably Numb first in order to appreciate more what they did to it live.
Yeah those weird sounds were guitars. That screaming sound was discovered by accident when they plugged a floor petal device in backward with the inputs and outputs reversed and it made a weird feedback screeching sound. They figured out how to harness the sound and control it. Meanwhile, if you back up to the same section, you’ll noice Roger Waters on bass making the whoosh whooshy background sound on the bass, moving his hand in some circular motion, rubbing on the strings. It is truly crazy how so many of the odd sounds they achieve are just guitars.
David thought of Echoes as a conversation between himself and Rick, on guitar and keyboards. He doesn't play it anymore since Rick's death.
We lost a legend when Rick Wright passed
R.I.P.
You should watch their reunion at Live 8
next live song has to be comfortably numb or sorrow
Yes I agree, the Pulse concert versions would be awesome for sure.
This version of Sorrow is amazing

Filmed in an ancient amphitheater in Italy. Pompeii was a city which was destroyed by Mt Vesuvius thousands of years ago. Now you gotta hit the songs in between Echoes parts l & ll. I hope you listen to some of the earlier, even trippier stuff. Yes, Gilmour was making those high pitched sounds with his guitar.
They were in Pompeii (Pom-pay) Italy, a dead city that was burried (and preserved) under a volcanic ash flow almost 2000 years ago.
Drummer - Nick Mason
Bassist/lyricist - Roger Waters
Keyboardist - Richard Wright
David and Roger share lead vocals depending on the song. Their voices really contrast each other. “Hey You” is a good example. Here you have Rick and Dave’s voices in Harmony.
@@kham1163I remember reading somewhere that every now and again David and Richard would switch up who did the high Harmony and who did the lower one during Echoes!
Of course in this version I do believe it is David doing the high Harmony!!
@@bernardsalvatore1929 rick was doing on two octave higher harmony in studio version, but on live version he did 1 octave higher
The "screams" are in fact Gilmour on guitar. Something along the lines of looping feedback through a distortion pedal of vice versa. Oh and it's Roger Waters on the bass guitar
Prepare yourself for The Wall. It's highly emotional and the main character, Floyd "Pink" Pinkerton is dealt with every emotional hardship from the birth scene "In the Flesh?" Where you'll hear him being told as he's being born, that all these issues will be "dropped on him". Smoke something before, during, and after, trust me. You'll need it
Pronounced POM-PAY. It's an ancient Roman amphitheater in Italy where they played; the city of Pompeii was destroyed by the volcano Vesuvius in 79 A.D., over 2,000 years ago.
Try Pink Floyd's 1st album. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.
Drums - nick mason, keyboards Richard wright , bass Roger Waters
This is a great channel! listened to many of his reactions.❤
Saucerful Of Secrets live at Pompeii should be your next live video.
OMG had to pause i **LUV** what happens starting at 16:09 Freakin **Perfect** Ha F YEA!!!
Pompeii was a Roman empire city, completely destroyed by an eruption of the near volcano Vesuvio. So it's in Italy, Campania region. The boiling mud is one of many little volcanos at Pozzuoli, a town close to Pompeii. They call them "solfatare".
Nick Mason is the most underrated drummer in rock.
Their vocals were NEVER underestimated. NEVER!
Nice to see Richard again. Experementing with that days new technology. One of my favorite live vids!
The audience was the ghosts of Pompeii - 2000 years on - they enjoyed it apparently
Pink Floyd is known to have the MOST ELABORATE light shows and are actually credited to having the first light/stage shows! You could do a long list of reactions JUST on their live shows!
This was the first and only band to play in “POM-PAY” until David Gilmour played again (with an audience) a few years ago. Amazing show!
Pink Floyd
On the turning away
It's time to discover Led Zeppelin. Start with the first one and go through the library. It will be an amazing experience.
Ever notice that most Floyd fans are also Zep fans and vice versa even though they are completely different styles of music?😊
I came home blasted on many things one night. Crept upstairs and put on Meddle on 10 with headphones but forgot to turn off external speakers. My dad exploded into my room screaming.
1972 I went to Henry Ford Auditorium and saw and heard the 'meddle' tour. They opened with ECHOS. Amazing
As the title says it is Pompeii in Italy. The city that was engulfed by the volcano Vesu in times of the Roman Empire. However, the city is still around or they have rebuilt it again. However, they are playing at the place of the ancient amfi theatre in Pompeii. The boiling mud you see is from the volcano which is still active although nobody expects it to erupt again as it did back then. Archeologically Pompeii is a treasure since it perfectly preserved everything as it was engulfed by lava so it gives historians a good view of what everyday life in the Roman empire looked like.
Want live Pink Floyd check out from the Pulse shows. Wish You Were Here, The Great Gig in the Sky, Comfortably Numb, On The Turning Away, Run Like Hell.....
Hi Kezzyboii, I hope you asked for a bit more information. Pompeii (Po,-PAY-ee) was a city near Naples in Italy. The city was buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Mount Vesuvius is still an active volcano, with "boiling mud" and sulfur gasses.
When it comes to Pink Floyd - I have to start with Richard Wright on the keyboards and piano. In my opinion the underdog, but in reality the true genius of Pink Floyd. He was the "builder", the "architect" of the group. He created the ambiance, was always looking for new ways in music, introduced the "Egyptian chord" (7/8) what gives PF their special sound. Then we have Nick Mason on the drums. And Roger Waters on bass guitar. A genius when it comes to lyrics and a man with a (too) big ego. He wanted to be the boss, Gilmour disagreed, and Pink Floyd was done. The all went solo, so my advice would be : listen to their solo work and decide for yourself.
By the way; “A roadie had plugged the wah in the wrong way, and I stomped into it and got this incredible screaming noise,” (David Gilmour)
"Who's on the bass?" Roger Waters, one of the greatest musical geniouses of the last century.
You should listen to “The Wall” next. It’s after they got super famous from “dark side of the moon” and “wish you were here.” The front man began hating fame wishing he could distance himself from the fans and the spotlight in general. So he imagined building a wall to shield himself from the world.
David Gilmour - Lead Guitar, Vocals
Roger Waters - Bass Guitar, Vocals
Richard Wright - Keyboards, Vocals
Nick Mason - Drums
Both Gilmour and Waters sing lead on different songs, with Wright adding backing vocals occasionally. Gilmour & Waters both sing on Echoes.
Gilmour and Wright sang on this one. Maybe Waters but only backup if he did on this one.
Pom-Pay. Dave went back in 2016. They have a whole exhibit in their museum dedicated to this performance. Respect my friend!!!🤘
Pink Floyd was heavily Blues influneced and took their name form the Blues greats Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
another drumming moment in this Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets 🛸 💎 ua-cam.com/video/Dh2KNQ3pep4/v-deo.html 🥁🥁
2000 years in the making! A concert for the Dead of Pompeii Italy.
Rick Wright organ keyboard Roger Waters bass and other guitars Nick Mason drums David Gilmour vocals and guitar Amazing what 4 musicians can do
The drummer- Nick Mason
I'd say the BEST version of Echoes is Live in Gdansk, followed by Pompeii. Gdansk is also the last time Echoes will be performed, as keyboardist Richard Wright unfortunately passed away after that concert, and David Gilmour will not play the song again without him. I highly recommend checking out Comfortably Numb - Live at PULSE as well!
It’s David Gilmour on guitar.
Roger Waters on bass.
Nick Mason on drums.
And Richard Wright on keyboards.
The guitar wizard is david Gilmore. The artist behind the music and the ideas and the lyrics is Roger waters. Waters also plays bass.
Music? Waters didn't write the music, all members did. Unfortunately in those years ('60s) it was customary to give credit for lyrics to a single person for a whole album... so Waters got formally credited for all of it but who knows. That changed across the '70s (Meddle is '71). Waters still wanted to have all the credits and started slowly rejecting contributions from other members... you can see that in Animals and finally in The Wall, which is actually almost entirely Waters' lyrics. But Music? Come one, David and Rick were the musicians in PF. Echoes in particular is a collection of music pieces by all members. Both David and Nick recognized the importance of Rick's contribution to Echoes, and chose not to play it live after his death (although Nick make an exception).
And BTW, my fav PF album is the Wall. I'm a big fan of Waters as an artist. But I don't give him more credit than it's due. So the Wall? yes, ideas and lyrics are Waters' (and I love them). Meddle? Not so much.
They were playing in Pompeii hehe🎉😂❤
For the last 3 and 1/2 to 4 minutes of the song David Gilmour the lead singer lead guitarist and Richard Wright the keyboardist and another singer are having a musical conversation with their instruments basically telling one another that was fun, we have to go now and I'll see you later!!!
No man that's not guitar that's Richard Wright on the keyboards and synthesizer! He was a damn genius may he rest in peace.
Roger Waters is on Bass - He also writes the Lyrics and most of the songs basic structure
David Gilmour is Guitar and Vocals - He writes the guitar parts and some songs too
Richard Wright plays Keyboard/piano and all the other random strange sounds you might hear in their music and also sometimes writes
Nick Mason is the drummer and a great one too.
Ive been waiting for you to get to this one. tee hee Im giddy.
I went to 87 live Floyd shows and Roger Waters "THE WALL" Live in Berlin celebrating the wall of Berlin Germany being torn down under President Reagan's negotiations in November 1989. I named my youngest son Roger David after the 2 lead members in 1993
