Lovely deep reaction, Stax. It's a treasure to see someone experiencing these classics for the first time, and fully appreciating them, just like I did 50 years ago. For me this performance is so poignant. It takes me back to the sensitivity, hope, and creativity of those long-gone years. No computers, no phones, just quietness, care and dreams.
I'm an old Hippie of 69, the first time I heard Echoes was not long after Meddle was released and 4 of us split a tab of Window pane acid, just before putting on that album in 1971, needless to say we were not prepared when that epic went into screaming albatross experimental mode and they shot us to the moon. Been a Pink Floyd fan since Ummagumma in 1969 and the Meddle album was their zenith in the pre Dark Side of the Moon days. It was a launching pad for more greatness to come from them in the 1970s. More Floyd! Do One of These Days, which was the classic track leading off the other side of that album. The studio is immaculate but it is also just plain sick live at either Pompeii or the Pulse Concert. Top 3 band for me with The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. Everyone else comes after those 3, the Mozart, Beethoven and Bach of Rock Music. They will be heard just as long as those old classical masters, the highest form of musical art. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶🔥

Really cool watching your reaction to 'Echoes'! It's one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs, and it's awesome to see someone from a younger generation appreciate this music!
The other night, we saw Nick Mason and Guy Pratt live in Concert With Nicks new band. About as close as you will ever get to seeing Pink Floyd Live. They played Echoes, and the experience was out of this world, to be in the same building as an original Pink Floyd co founder is a privilege
I have been seeing a lot of reaction videos, but I think you're the best reaction, I've seen.... Pink Floyd, transforming, myself, a long time ago.... No therapist needed... I'm 56 years old . Been listening pink Floyd when I was 14.
Yes this Pink Floyd live at Pompeii is an interesting watch because interspersed throughout the movie or documentary whatever you want to call it are segments of them recording Dark Side of the Moon!! One of the things I've noticed about Floyd is they seem to know the exact length of the human attention span! The reason I say that is if you're ever listening to one of their songs and you start to think I might want to turn the dial or this is starting to get........ Just before you even think something different the song changes! The Pompeii video has a lot of their older songs very well done I think you'll really enjoy it!!! I love the conversation between Richard Wright and David Gilmour at the end when they're talking back and forth to one another with guitar and keyboards!!! It's kind of like they're saying "that was fun let's do it again tomorrow"!
Questo brano lo posso ascoltare mille volte e mille volte mi darà grandi emozioni. Ti posso garantire che la parte finale quando il brano dopo il lungo inquietante viaggio sonoro esplode in una specie di Big bang , a me ogni volta viene letteralmente fisicamente la pelle d'oca. Ogni volta
PF, Bach and Beethoven are my favourite artists by far, because they all have made me feel emotions that I did not know were in me. However, PF had already been together for about 7 years at this point, and I love their pre-Dark Side stuff more than the later, more popular output. Check our Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother and Relics, for example. I went to one of their gigs in 1970 or 71 and it was one of the best (of many hundreds) I have been to.
Back then, just before home video recorders, dvd's, watching it was pretty much impossible mission for most people including me. You'd have to be lucky it was shown in a independent movie house or something to experience it in it's full glory. Even then you'd have to be lucky the movie house had a stereo sound system; all that was pretty new at the time. I got it on audio cassette tape first (like a 3rd generation copy), and got the vinyl record for my birthday a year later. Didn't actually get to see it until well in the 80's.
I saw this on the big screen at the UC Theater in Berkeley, CA in the early 80s. The theater still stands to this day (2036 University Ave.). Back then they showed a different double feature every day, with few exceptions but the annual animation festival, Rocky Horror every Saturday night, etc. They printed a single sheet calendar (two months front and back) with all the upcoming movies. James Bond, Abbot and Costello, Led Zeppelin, Pink Panther, Pink Floyd, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Maltese Falcon, Laurel and Hardy. Little Rascals on a massive screen. It was a great way to see old movies not edited for television. Early James Bond w/ no commercial breaks was fantastic in those years before video rental exploded.
It's the place where JIMI HENDRIX, played in 1970?😂 A cool place Berkeley....I saw Pink Floyd in France, my country, in 1994, the Pulse tour, and a lot of legends (i saw Clapton in Paris in may 2024), but i never see my hero Jimi Hendrix😢I was too young, i was born in 1980....
That's GENIUS of Pink Floyd, they don't throw 3 minutes of rapid fire words over a 3 minute beat, because that's hard for your brain and doesn't allow time for your own thoughts, your stuck trying to process the straam of someone else's ideas. Pink Floyd give you time. It's as if, each person who sings, AND each individual instrument has "lyrics" but it's up to you to translate the instruments lyrics with your own thoughts.
Thoroughly enjoying your trip down the Floyd rabbit hole. ... I, personally, would love to see another album reaction. Specifically, the album that follows this one, and is criminally overlooked; "Obscured By Clouds." It's a transitional album, like Meddle. It's not a grand concept album, but it's warm and intimate. I describe it as like having breakfast with the band in your pajamas.
As I mention to others, Echoes was post-grad Pink Floyd. Your 'normies' who were "Floyd Fans" probably never even heard Echoes. It took someone who picked up Meddle and noticed the 2nd side was one song. It never played on radio for sure. Maybe some late night radio shows. Echoes was their Opus to us freaks. Not very early days at all. Early days of Floyd are Syd Barrett Floyd. Top rock stars of the era were known to hit up PF shows. Not many other bands except maybe the Velvet Underground were so respected by other artists of their era as PF was.
😂😂😂😂😂YOU CALL THAT SIMPLE? OK, COULD YOU SHOW US YOUR MUSIC, TO SHOW US HOW MUCH IT'S COLOLICATE PLEASE?😂😂😂😂😂😡😡😡😡😡😱😱😱😱😱🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫YOU'RE NOBODY, NO ONE, NOBODY KNOWS YOU, YOU'RE JUST A PIECE A SHIT.....YOU NEVER PRODUCED ANY MUSIC....SHUT IT UP, YOU STUPID LOSER💩💩💩💩💩💩CONNARD, GROSSE MERDE

Mind blowing!
Soul cleansing!
Epic genius!
Great to see your reaction.
Collectively, Pink Floyd will always be THE greatest group of all time.
Been listening to this for 40 years, never seems to amaze me the sonic sound of it.
And I thought sonic was a hedgehog

Thank you men, I just love exploring new things and I just seen this as a good way to go about that. Pink Floyd is Fantastic! 😁❤️❤️
The other night, we saw Nick Mason and Guy Pratt live in Concert With Nicks new band. About as close as you will ever get to seeing Pink Floyd Live. They played Echoes, and the experience was out of this world, to be in the same building as an original Pink Floyd co founder is a privilege
Lucky you! PF is the band I most regret never seeing perform.
I have been seeing a lot of reaction videos, but I think you're the best reaction, I've seen.... Pink Floyd, transforming, myself, a long time ago.... No therapist needed... I'm 56 years old . Been listening pink Floyd when I was 14.
I agree... the self examination and introspection induced by PF will never be matched!!!
Yes this Pink Floyd live at Pompeii is an interesting watch because interspersed throughout the movie or documentary whatever you want to call it are segments of them recording Dark Side of the Moon!!
One of the things I've noticed about Floyd is they seem to know the exact length of the human attention span!

I love the conversation between Richard Wright and David Gilmour at the end when they're talking back and forth to one another with guitar and keyboards!!! It's kind of like they're saying "that was fun let's do it again tomorrow"!
It is still hard to believe 4 musicians did this masterpiece
Questo brano lo posso ascoltare mille volte e mille volte mi darà grandi emozioni. Ti posso garantire che la parte finale quando il brano dopo il lungo inquietante viaggio sonoro esplode in una specie di Big bang , a me ogni volta viene letteralmente fisicamente la pelle d'oca.
Ogni volta
Love the transition into the final verse.

I got it on audio cassette tape first (like a 3rd generation copy), and got the vinyl record for my birthday a year later. Didn't actually get to see it until well in the 80's.
No “back then.” This music is truly timeless.
listened to Meddle before I saw this performance so was fully aware of the utter brilliance of this music
Welcome back to Pink Floyd, Stax. You know they're the best, bro.
PF makes you feel, they make you think. Their music is so brilliant, sometimes I feel like they are other-worldly.
I saw this on the big screen at the UC Theater in Berkeley, CA in the early 80s. The theater still stands to this day (2036 University Ave.). Back then they showed a different double feature every day, with few exceptions but the annual animation festival, Rocky Horror every Saturday night, etc. They printed a single sheet calendar (two months front and back) with all the upcoming movies.

It takes analogue equipment to make a lot of Pink Floyd's sounds. Not all, but many. Like those whale sounds with Gilmour's guitar. :)
Pulse!! 😂😂
That's GENIUS of Pink Floyd, they don't throw 3 minutes of rapid fire words over a 3 minute beat, because that's hard for your brain and doesn't allow time for your own thoughts, your stuck trying to process the straam of someone else's ideas.
Pink Floyd give you time.
It's as if, each person who sings, AND each individual instrument has "lyrics" but it's up to you to translate the instruments lyrics with your own thoughts.
Definitely check out the entire film
Thoroughly enjoying your trip down the Floyd rabbit hole.
...
I, personally, would love to see another album reaction.
Specifically, the album that follows this one, and is criminally overlooked;
"Obscured By Clouds."
It's a transitional album, like Meddle.
It's not a grand concept album, but it's warm and intimate.
I describe it as like having breakfast with the band in your pajamas.
Dude you should definitely do a reaction to the Meddle album version of this the original track is mind blowing!
As I mention to others, Echoes was post-grad Pink Floyd. Your 'normies' who were "Floyd Fans" probably never even heard Echoes. It took someone who picked up Meddle and noticed the 2nd side was one song. It never played on radio for sure. Maybe some late night radio shows. Echoes was their Opus to us freaks.

Not many other bands except maybe the Velvet Underground were so respected by other artists of their era as PF was.
You could here it on weekend nights on college radio back then, where we heard all kinds of great stuff not on commercial radio. Rock On!
Echoes is Brilliant in it's simplicity
😂😂😂😂😂YOU CALL THAT SIMPLE? OK, COULD YOU SHOW US YOUR MUSIC, TO SHOW US HOW MUCH IT'S COLOLICATE PLEASE?😂😂😂😂😂😡😡😡😡😡😱😱😱😱😱🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫YOU'RE NOBODY, NO ONE, NOBODY KNOWS YOU, YOU'RE JUST A PIECE A SHIT.....YOU NEVER PRODUCED ANY MUSIC....SHUT IT UP, YOU STUPID LOSER💩💩💩💩💩💩CONNARD, GROSSE MERDE
YES are the Grandfathers of Prog
Agree. Pink Floyd is a genre unto themselves.
Non è il brano più lungo dei Pink Floyd....ATOM HEART MOTHER supera ECHOES di una decina di secondi
Pink flyod was meant to be heard stoned to completely enjoy it
BRIT music IS BETTER. Pink floyd🙂😉😉
They're initiates... don't know anything more than you.
