      What many forget these days, is the original track all their equipment was analog - they literally made up much the sounds they used ... Wright mic'd the piano into a leslie speaker cabinet and "that sound" in the opening and ending was born, the seagulls sounds in the middle section was Gilmour's guitar plugged into a vox wah-wah backwards and rocked back and forth - the squealing noises. However when they play together Wright and Gilmour played off each other's creativity so well both in inspiration and musically - when Richard would play a seventh within a chord .. David would come along with his melodic lead line and bend it to an ninth and resolve it to a root, and vice-versa super-imposing harmonies, they set the color in the music of Pink Floyd. Like no second guessing they were in the same mind-frame.
      Btw… Richard Wright sang the lead vocals on DSOTM's “Time” and "Wearing the Inside Out" on The Division Bell.

      Sure I suppose a great deal of personal attachment comes with performance like Echoes, which is a truly band sound, not just Gilmour and Wright. When I heard this comment and saw the set list for the 2016 shows, I was deeply disappointed, to miss the replay of Echoes at Pompeii +45 years. Perhaps the band's and Gilmour's relationship with Leavell was to young and Richard's death to near. There can be no doubt that Chuck Leavell can carry on for anyone in the industry, on stage or in the studio. Gilmour's choice to invite him into this offering speaks for it's self. Very few play at Richard Wright's level, Chuck Leavell is one indeed. Yet, we do have many fine recordings of Echoes to fall into.

    I'm 71 next week, and like many other people I find Pink Floyds music brings out the emotional side of me. I have a fantastic family, 4 sons, two beautiful grandchildren (and another on the way!)and a loving wife, but Floyd bring back so many memories of my life, from when I was a teenager through to now. The memories of the sixties and seventies are so vivid at times, and watching this performance with dear Rick Wright and David working so well together, bring those memories flooding back. I find it hard to put my feelings into words, but I watched those last few minutes with tears rolling down my cheeks. Life past can make you so happy, but at the same time so sad. Sorry for being a big softy!!

I appreciate the message of "Comfortably Numb" but at the same time The Wall as a whole feels like Roger's solo effort, that famous David's guitar work notwithstanding. I don't want to criticize anything. The Wall is fantastic in its own right. A monumental work. Each of us has different taste. I think I specifically love Pink Floyd era where Rick's influence can be clearly heard. Animals was the last such album.

I'm in love with all the song, but what I love the most is the final part. It's amazing how this two legends can have a conversation without any word. For me, this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever made. This is the result of years of friendship, and it shows us why David can't play Echoes without Richard.

Magical - especially the ending of this masterpiece that i never appreciated before and I bought Dark Side when it came out - made all the more poignant with Richard Wright's passing and that Gilmore will not play this again without him.

I was completely amazed. Probably the best from the entire show, definitely for me as I always wanted to get Echoes played at my funeral. Being there was for me one of the musical lifetime events. Something you experienced only once. Something you can't record in any way. I knew that was it, like time stood still and there was only me and the music in my ears. I tasted every note like it was played only for me. Religious folks usually say that was their supreme being. For me that was the supreme music.

On the Island Tour, Echoes was suddenly played in full length at the end! When the first "ping" came, I thought only, "was that a ping? No David will not play..." and then came the second ping with the chords and it became certainty: Echoes live!
    One of the most emotional moments in my life. This still moves me to tears today.

      I get the impression Rick was just caught in the middle of Roger and David's feuding. Rick's personality made him an easy target for Roger, and David didn't do enough to stop him from getting the boot (I suspect, I don't know for a fact). After it all went down, David felt guilty about it, and knew Rick really wasn't the cause of the acrimony between him and Roger, and I feel like he has honestly tried to make up for what happened to Rick over the years. Even Floyd's last album, The Endless River, feels like David's way of honoring Rick, and dealing with his pain and guilt over what happened. Of course, this is all speculation on my part - I wasn't there. But either way, I am really glad when Rick parted this world, he and David were truly friends. I have quite a few recordings of the early aughts of David touring, and always bringing Rick along. Gdansk, On an Island, there's a few other gigs out there - all with Rick side by side with David. They even did some of Rick's solo songs on David's tour.

    • @DrRoguelike
      @DrRoguelike 6 років тому +26

      Whether Richard made money off the wall is irrelevant. I doubt any of them were hurting for cash - that's not what I mean by David feeling guilty. Yes, Rick wasn't pulling his weight by his own admission. But Roger was coming to believe more and more that he was the sole reason for Pink Floyd's success, and that he was carrying the band alone - Richard's drug problem made him an easy target. David could still challenge Roger on Pink Floyd's success (Comfortably Numb's solo? Another Brick in the Wall??), but Rick hadn't really produced since WYWH. David, rather than defend Rick's past contributions, and help his friend through his personal problems, let Roger force him out, maybe was even a party to it. And I am sure he felt guilty about it later. I would have.
      And then we got the hot garbage that was The Final Cut, your album of 100% Roger's creative control.

The vast majority of their music is like vibrational heaven for me. Whereas I like about 30% to 50% of the music by most of my favorite artists, I probably like 95% of Pink Floyd's music.

    I feel like everyone likes to obsess over how amazing David Gilmour is with his guitar, and dont get me wrong, I think hes one of the greatest of all time, but it's a shame that people like Richard Wright get overlooked for their unbelievable talent. David Gilmour adds to Pink Floyd's unique sound with his incredible guitar skills, but in my opinion, without Rick's keyboard playing and other instruments, Pink Floyd would not be nearly as good as they are. That's why Echoes is one of my favorite songs, it really gives Rick his time to shine and shows how insanely talented he actually is. Richard Wright gives Pink Floyd their unique sound, without him, it wouldn't be Pink Floyd.
    Rest in Peace Rick, you absolute legend.
