A tribute to Pink Floyd founder member Richard Wright, who passed away Monday 15th September 2008, aged 65, after a short battle with cancer.
Features Richard's last interview of September 2007.
This is an outstanding documentary about Rick! He was so underrated as a musician and overshadowed by Roger and David. Rick and David worked so well together and brought out the best of Roger’s lyrics. Wright and Gilmour meshed together for the post-Syd Barrett Pink Floyd. Rick is certainly missed my Gilmour and all the Pink Floyd fans
He never was treated well enough to his efforts! A shame they contracted him as session musician on albums & not as a full member. Maybe contract issues...but they should have been more nice & thankful to all his good work and personal inputs... finally David did that. Sad he died so shortly after. They were a good team playing together! Left me devastated because I knew... without him PF are definitely on the way to die. David & Roger can't with each other anymore. RIP Richard. RIP Pink Floyd. 😢
Richard Wright had a very cool way of making unusual chord progressions work in a way that you don’t fully notice how unusual it all was. the best examples i can muster are the last movement of saucerful of secrets, also the chord progression on the long outro of Cirrus Minor. most notable was his inclusion of a chord he heard on miles davis record and slipped it in between the end of the “chorus” of Breathe and ties it into the main theme or verse , like couild you imagine that song without that chord? it’s a defining moment in shaping the pink floyd sound or style post syd and like Richard Wright pushed the boundaries of modern rock music with a sneaky jazz chord melting the song together…RIP Richard Wright, your part in the greatness/grandeur of floyd sound is still being unfolded today, mainly because he carried himself in a very quiet, humble manner.
Thank you very much indeed for the opportunity to hear this very last interview because we cannot hear this log now in Japan. I am quite happy to hear the voice again!
Have just found this. It's beautiful. Rick has always been quite shy (maybe by the circumstances) but he seems more comfortable in this interview. Such a sad lost
Most of the vibes that you can feel in your body & hear while listening is coming from Richards experimental use of his organs,pianos & keyboards! The other instruments went the same way but didn't reach that incredible vibrations...pluckering basses,incredible drumming,very much rythmic & joyful! But the magic mystic atmosphere was made by Richard. That made me addicted to Pink Floyd! It's how they were sounding! And as Richard was explaining...it was very much like pictures that were painted with their instruments! Syd brought it in. He was a lot about sound & painting with words. After Richard was the inventor of creating soundscapes...imagine PF without him... impossible! Had been a good modern blues band perhaps,because David was a great guitar player! But all the records could never have been made without Richard Wright. Personally I see him as the biggest talent in the band. Up with Syd. I wish there had been more solo albums of him though. He's my favourite...also the most intelligent & friendly of the band!
Richard Wright is truly missed. He was a great guy and attributed many great songs to the Floyd legacy.
Rogers ,timing and punch, gilmour, Melody, feeling. But Wright.. structure of harmony architectual musical genius.❤
Great by all means 👌👍💕💫
Didn't know how painful the Wall period was for Rick Wright. Creativity was stifled. Interestingly, the Wall period and subsequent "Pink Floyd" albums lost a lot of the original magic that happened when they were all equal members like DSOTM, Meddle, Obscured By Clouds, Wish You Were Here. That was "The Pink Floyd Sound"
"Summer '68" remains in my Top Ten Pink Floyd songs.
un grande musicista di cui si parla poco, un vero peccato averlo perso prematuramente
Светлая память замечательному музыканту. 🌹
Gracias por compartir esta maravillosa entrevista a Rick, y permitirnos viajar y revivir momentos memorables!!!!!!
Sir Right Wright u one hell of guy ! RiP, and we will always love ❤️ u.
This is great, I just wish this covered my favorite PF album “Wish You Were Here” - it was also Richard’s favorite PF album.
Beautiful tribute,thank you very much.
Thanks for posting. I miss him every single day.
Arnold Layne live was amazing
Rick Wright era o membro do Pink Floyd que eu mais admirava. O que ele tocava nos teclados era especial e tranquilizador.
