When I was receiving radiation treatments, for a tumor in my head, I was allowed to listen to music (the hospital provided a player for an ipod). The treatment usually lasted about 30 minutes. For the 4th treatment, I only picked one song. The nurses were like, "Don't you want more than one song?" I said nope, that this one would be enough. So, they started the song just before they left the room. When the treatment was done, and they came back in, the song was just finishing. They were like, "One song was enough." I said, "Echoes is always just enough!" RIP Richard! You make this song what it is.
David would not play Echoes anymore without Rick because it was like a conversation between the two of them, who were great close friends. Rick will be forever missed.
Not my favorite ... but it is BRILLIANT just the same ... my favorite, which brings tears to my eyes is Shine ... Parts 1 - 5 ... between Rick's beautiful keyboard arrangement and David's weeping guitar and then Roger's opening lyric "Remember when you were young?" I lose it ...
my favorite pink floyd song - it is their magnum opus! the live ones - bootlegs to Pompeii to this - you can sit back relax and set the controls for the heart of the sun
There is a huge amount of mutual respect between two good friends. And I too have a massive amount of respect for David Gilmour and sadly Richard Wright R.I.P.
I'm so happy that all of the Gilmour concert footage is finally getting put up where the public can listen to these masterpieces... especially this version of Echoes, which seems like it was blocked on Spotify and CZcams for quite a long time.. YAY!
@@DaneJacobsonMD yes i know it was. Exactly my point... wonder if Lloyd webber had been listening to this when he wrote phantom? The comment was meant ironically and as sarcasm.
Beautiful film of Richard. He isn't playing those keyboards, his soul is connected to them and out of them he's drawing his emotions. Amazing playing. So sad that he has gone.
@@stanknugget "WTF?" If you do not understand art, and the appreciation of art, then stay in bed and just order more junk food takeaways. You will die forgotten and irrelevant, unlike the person this video highlights. Bye, bye, loser.
Deepest lyrics I've ever heard: "Strangers passing through the streets 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, to help me understand the best I can?"
Most of David's lyrics are positive and forward looking Rogers are the opposite. The dark and oppressive mistakes of the past. Love them both. David mentioned in one of his documentaries that's was a big reason why they didn't get along. I've seen them both live hope to see them again soon missed Roger this year.
@@despacitodaniel801 It means that if we pay attention to other people then some empathy appears that helps understanding each other and so makes living together easier.
In assoluto il migliore brano dei Pink Floyd.i vecchi Pink i primi strepitosi quelli quasi agli inizi che io ho visto in concerto a Rotterdam con questo brano nel lontano aprile 1971 a Rotterdam avevo 22 anni e mi sono entrati nell'anima quella stessa sera amore a prima nota.ora che ho 74 anni mi accompagnano nel percorso verso la fine dì questa vita,spero più tardi possibile,mi danno energia e tanta grinta quando li ascolto.Dainese Aldo.
I was 22 years-old when the Meddle album was released. My allergies in the summer months used to send me to the basement to get below the pollen line...just so I could sleep. My dad's stereo was in the basement. While the family was sleeping upstairs, I would hear Echoes played on the progressive Rock stations in my hometown of Detroit. Radio isn't what it used to be...
Did you say organic or orgasmic!! Roger and David should just put their differences aside and play one more gig!! It would be better than anything anyone has heard in the world!!
Being so brilliant as a pianist, at keyboards and the Vocoder, most people, as well as I, didn't really notice Richard Wright's playing in Pink Floyd's music, because he really was just that good! His playing simply melded so well with the rest of the music! Pink Floyd's music would not have sounded the way it did without the late Richard Wright! We will never again have the pleasure of being able to enjoy such a multi-faceted musician as Richard Wright really was! I was fortuitous enough to see Pink Floyd's "The Division Bell" concert, with Richard Wright, at the former Minneapolis Metrodome back in 1994! Howah! Miigwetch, Floyd "Buck" Jourdain!
Hard to disagree except for the small matter of Pink Floyd’s performance of Echoes at Pompeii in 1971 which is by far the best performance of Echoes for me.
Check out the version at Gibson amphitheater Universal studios 2006. I was there, somebody uploaded the audio only unfortunately no video but it has to be the greatest anything I've ever heard or seen in my life. It's the entire concert absolutely on fire version of time in the beginning, and echo starts at the 1 hour 56 minute mark
This song is what all prog rock bands trying to achieve when writing 20 mins songs….but never do come even close to it. Echoes is THE masterpiece of all 20 minuters and this version is even better than the original album version
If you listen to something like Thick As A Brick, Suppers Ready and A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers and think they're going for the same thing as Echoes idk what to tell you
When buying my Meddle CD, my friends called it "old music". I think this happened 1989 when i was 17 years old. Now, 30 years later, I'm still listening, dreaming and goose-bumping. This music has never been old and will never be old. Beethovens 9th will be considered as a masterpiece in 50 years, so will Echoes be.
Have anybody noticed?! After all these years I found out, that at 13:18 strange magic is happening: - David Gilmour makes rithm on SOLO guitar; - Drummer makes perfect SOLO based on the rithm of solo guitar; - Rick Wright, who without any doubts is a core this song, somewhere on background at this time. They changed whole concept and created perfect harmony. AMAZING! PERFECT!
@@ezreth Maybe so, but the money the rich person you speak so kindly of is helping to try and save this planet. Besides, that guutar would NEVER sound the same in the hands of anyone other than David anyway. It would just know that wasn't David's touch.
Perhaps the most beautiful things I have ever listened to. Please God, save this for prosperity. This represents the best or our generation. I am proud to have been part of it. Thank You.
I was so bummed at the news of Rick's passing. All these years later my heart breaks for David at the loss of such an incredible friend and colleague. Their harmonies are timeless.
in his humble appearance not being a frontman at all when it comes to common expectations, he´s one of the greatest frontmen of all times in his very own right.
I may be guilty for loving this version more than the original. however, I can never stop myself from watching this classy performance over and over again. It's beyond my any understanding.
On the rare occasion that I hear it on SiriusXM Radio, that ping gives me instant chills in anticipation of what's to come every single time. This is truly a sonic masterpiece.
As much as I love Pink Floyd and as much as Echoes is one of my favourite songs in general, this comment shows the general ignorance of ppl who legitemately believe in the superiority of "music from the good old days". While I agree on the fact that much of the pop and hip-hop music nowadays is pretty bad, discrediting entire centuries of amazing musicians like Kanye, Lorde, Frank Ocean and Kendrick is just as bad as having a bad taste in music. But even if you leave out the mainstream, 71s Floyd wasnt mainstream, why not compare them to musicians from similar genres. Take bands like Radiohead for example. Is the first ping of Echoes better than the entire Radiohead discography? Hell no. Or take GY!BE. If there is an argument for the track Storm being a better 20 minute epic than Echoes, it will by far surpass the first note of it. Another example might be the entire top end of the experimental hip-hop scene: artists like Death Grips, Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA, Earl Sweatshirt may not be as great as Floyd for sure. But why bring such an ignorant statement when you probably dont even know most of this artists? Most of the mainstream is bad nowadays, and was also bad in the 70s. No, I am not a music snop, even if the artists mentioned here make me look like one:) I just generally love music and have listen to a bunch of stuff despite my quite young age. Sorry for this wall of text but I cant leave such statements uncommented...
@@ii-xz9ui it’s not that seriousss lol. I listen to everything trust me I grew up on rap. My favorite artists of alltime are probably Eminem and Kanye both of their discographies are insane. I’m talking more of the “mumble rap” that shit has ZERO sustenance compared to this and won’t be looked at the way this is looked at 50 years from now and if you think it will be welllll
@@ii-xz9ui while you may have some good arguments, I beg to differ. Anything Pink Floyd made will always be better than anything else ever created, this is the greatest act of art in the history of mankind.
This is truly a masterpiece that showcases just how influential each band member of Pink Floyd were to creating their overall sound, in this case Rick and Dave. They were truly greater than the sum of their parts. Just seeing Rick totally owning that keyboard was so very bittersweet - only when someone is gone do you really notice just how much you miss them and how big an impact they made on so many people. RIP Rick.....truly a legend!
TWO TRUE MASTER,S AT PLAY, US MEAR MORTAL,S SHOULD LOOK UP TO THE GOD'S OF ROCK AND ROLL AND GIVE THANKS THAT WE HAVE LIVED IN THE DAY,S OF PINK FLOYD , THE STONES, THE WHO, ZEPPELIN AND OF COURSE THE BEATLES, WHAT A RIDE IT,S BEEN. PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. 🙏✌️😎🏴
This is what music is all about. The magic. The beauty. The poetry. All of that tied together with an emotion that is expelled through Gilmour's guitar.
Whoever was at this concert, you better realize how lucky you’re to have seen this live. YOU BETTER REALIZE HOW LUCKY YOU WERE IF YOU SAW THIS!!!!!!! 🙏Richard🙏
I was there all three nights. 29th, 30th and 31st of May 2006. I know how lucky I am. I've never forgotten the thrill of those nights. I would easily have done three more.
I got to see it live at Gibson amphitheater Universal studios April 2006 and yes I was awestruck and realized if I live to be 90 this will be one of the five greatest things ever in my life
I remember the first time I heard this in 1972....high on weed and wine. When it finished we all just sat there stunned, not believing what we'd just heard. It still gives me that goose-bumpy feeling at 68.
Words can't describe that feeling you get when your on that final bridge, Richard Wright will forever be missed greatly and may godspeed upon him where ever he is. The chemistry between Dave and Rick cannot be matched
A true masterpiece , an epic , I believe this song is a timeline of some sort. The pings in the beginning represent the universe coming into existence, and the first verse refers to the first organisms on Earth.... everything was "green and submarine", peaceful, it was enough, but something drove some of those organisms to seek a new life on land, something drove them to journey into the unknown. Perhaps by complete coincidence, two of these early humans see each other and recognize themselves. They are the same, or the same species rather - "I am you and what I see is me". These two specific cavemen go on to try and cooperate for protection, hunting, shelter, etc. They work together. The following guitar solo documents the evolution of man, and all his accomplishments and follies. The groovy part right after that reflects modern society, and how its kinda fast-paced, stressful, and there's a lot of sleaze that comes with civilization. In the haunting, graveyard portion that follows, I think it singles out one man in this society, a very depressed man for whatever reason. He feels he's trudging through life, and its a living hell for him. However, he soon somehow feels he's breaking out of that hell...... maybe its a dream, or his life is turning around, something of that sort.... he feels he's ascending towards heaven and escaping from everything that has ruined his life. But just when he's on the brink, he "wakes up" (the last verse) and reality dawns on him. He quickly falls back to where he once was. He is alone. But something inside him, just like what drove the first organisms to leave the ocean and what drove the those species to work together, drives him to continue trudging through life, in hope that he will find someone or something to live for soon (and so I throw the windows wide and call to you across the sky. That interpretation might clear out questions that're running out in circles in my mind , love this epic
This is such a beautiful song. I never get tired of listening to it. I loved it when they were younger, and at Pompeii, but this Is truly awesome. Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are the cream of the crop in rock music.
David Crosby diggin' it @ 17:12... Looking thru the knothole's in Granny's wooden leg. I saw/heard them do this at the DSOTM tour, Jun 29th 1973 when I was 14 years old. They also did One of these days as an encore. (I Remember that Night!). Love the Floyd.
Absolutely love this tune and have right from the day my then husband came home with the vinyl in '72 and we listened to the whole album. The way you and Richard speak to each other and to us is phenomenal. Thank you.
Це просто ульот. Величезна подяка Ріку Райту за його внесок у Pink Floyd. А Гілмору за його прекрасну гру і те що зміг утримати гурт. Respect from Ukraine. 🇺🇦
so many chills down my spine this is a true masterpiece love love love love the pink floyd rick you genius R.I.P buddy david you genius keep rocking forever love you man theyll never be anything better
The sound of the piano by Rick in the intro is a very pleasurable !!! How I love this version is unspeakable !!! When the perfection touches our world !!! Thank you David and Rick for all your work .... For me the very best version of this masterpiece 😍❤
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 wheres or whys 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 No one speaks And no one tries 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 Come 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 throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky.
Atol Everlast It’s ‘“The echo of a distant time.” I have used to think it was a distant tide but the live at Pompeii concert shows it was clearly time. Which makes much more sense since the whole first verse is about life evolving from the ocean onto the land.
Doc: "You still have 20 Minutes to live" Me: "I wanna hear ECHOES a last time" Doc: "But this is 22:05 Minutes !" GOD: "That`s okay, i wanna hear , too!"
When I was receiving radiation treatments, for a tumor in my head, I was allowed to listen to music (the hospital provided a player for an ipod). The treatment usually lasted about 30 minutes. For the 4th treatment, I only picked one song. The nurses were like, "Don't you want more than one song?" I said nope, that this one would be enough.

Thank you for history, so real.
I understand where you are coming from - when you go through treatment you hold on to the things you love. I hope you are doing well. Xx
David would not play Echoes anymore without Rick because it was like a conversation between the two of them, who were great close friends. Rick will be forever missed.

It’s my favourite Floyd track.
Rick Wright, what a legend!
And didn't Roger fire him during "The Wall"?
@@porflepopnecker4376 yes he did. David & Nick hired him back after Roger left.

An example of how true Music is made.
Cazzo quanto di più vero non potevi dire..
True word my friend
La famosa "musica vera" si si
people in 300 years will look back at this and look at it how we currently see Mozart.. a master piece of music
Same with Beethoven and Bach.
Mozart would bow to this masterpiece!
Well... Hard to say that he wouldn't!!
Yessss he would pure guinesss
I don't think he'd be able to hear it though.
@@williamfullofwood7421 Nothing wrong with Mozart's hearing - it was Beethoven who became deaf.
I´ve been growin´ up with classic music. Pink Floyd was my entry in modern music and I´m sure that they will be listened in future like Mozart ; )

I can no longer listen to this without crying. A moment never to be re-captured. 💔
Some of the best times of my life. Echoes, weed , friends, dark room, open balcony, cool breeze.
And the occasional "black microdot" or "purple pyramid" to broaden the MIND :-)

Don’t trade them for hot air or change

David Crosby, chillin' at the back, seemingly enjoying the music :)
Partners for the ethernity. A sound of souls. It does not matter when you listen, it fills you.
Echoes will live forever in the pantheon of the greatest Rock compositions and this performance is simply beyond describable.
The wonderful Ricky...RIP...thanx David for this amazing live version of Echoes...grazie;)
This is universal heritage. Rock anthem.

Such a special few moments between Gilmour and Wright - the ultimate in guitar and keyboard
This is what music is all about. The magic. The beauty. The poetry. All of that tied together with an emotion that is expelled through Gilmour's guitar.

Keyboards too.
Whoever was at this concert, you better realize how lucky you’re to have seen this live. YOU BETTER REALIZE HOW LUCKY YOU WERE IF YOU SAW THIS!!!!!!! 🙏Richard🙏
I do.
I was there all three nights. 29th, 30th and 31st of May 2006. I know how lucky I am. I've never forgotten the thrill of those nights. I would easily have done three more.
I got to see it live at Gibson amphitheater Universal studios April 2006 and yes I was awestruck and realized if I live to be 90 this will be one of the five greatest things ever in my life
I remember the first time I heard this in 1972....high on weed and wine. When it finished we all just sat there stunned, not believing what we'd just heard. It still gives me that goose-bumpy feeling at 68.
Words can't describe that feeling you get when your on that final bridge, Richard Wright will forever be missed greatly and may godspeed upon him where ever he is. The chemistry between Dave and Rick cannot be matched
This is just one of those songs that can't be played often, or loud, enough.
I've tried.
I saw this from the 2nd row of the balcony at Radio City Music Hall in Apr 06. I was stunned and amazed. This was the concert of a lifetime.
22 mins of bliss
A true masterpiece , an epic , I believe this song is a timeline of some sort. The pings in the beginning represent the universe coming into existence, and the first verse refers to the first organisms on Earth.... everything was "green and submarine", peaceful, it was enough, but something drove some of those organisms to seek a new life on land, something drove them to journey into the unknown. Perhaps by complete coincidence, two of these early humans see each other and recognize themselves. They are the same, or the same species rather - "I am you and what I see is me". These two specific cavemen go on to try and cooperate for protection, hunting, shelter, etc. They work together. The following guitar solo documents the evolution of man, and all his accomplishments and follies. The groovy part right after that reflects modern society, and how its kinda fast-paced, stressful, and there's a lot of sleaze that comes with civilization. In the haunting, graveyard portion that follows, I think it singles out one man in this society, a very depressed man for whatever reason. He feels he's trudging through life, and its a living hell for him. However, he soon somehow feels he's breaking out of that hell...... maybe its a dream, or his life is turning around, something of that sort.... he feels he's ascending towards heaven and escaping from everything that has ruined his life. But just when he's on the brink, he "wakes up" (the last verse) and reality dawns on him. He quickly falls back to where he once was. He is alone. But something inside him, just like what drove the first organisms to leave the ocean and what drove the those species to work together, drives him to continue trudging through life, in hope that he will find someone or something to live for soon (and so I throw the windows wide and call to you across the sky. That interpretation might clear out questions that're running out in circles in my mind , love this epic
It’s much simpler and logical than that which mortal man refuses to accept
This is such a beautiful song. I never get tired of listening to it. I loved it when they were younger, and at Pompeii, but this Is truly awesome. Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are the cream of the crop in rock music.
What a masterpiece!!, David, Rick, both legends
David Crosby diggin' it @ 17:12... Looking thru the knothole's in Granny's wooden leg. I saw/heard them do this at the DSOTM tour, Jun 29th 1973 when I was 14 years old. They also did One of these days as an encore. (I Remember that Night!). Love the Floyd.
Croz knows good music when he hears it. Himself and Graham Nash did backing vocals for this tour. Shame they don't talk any more.
one of the great blessings of my life to get to see this at Radio City Music Hall in New York on this tour. RIP Rick :(
Same.
Absolutely love this tune and have right from the day my then husband came home with the vinyl in '72 and we listened to the whole album. The way you and Richard speak to each other and to us is phenomenal. Thank you.
The best version
Still my favorite version. This specific performance. ❤
The outro is a poignant farewell to Rick. So bittersweet 😢
Im so jealous of my parents, they were able to see them live multiple times. Something i sadly never will.
probably my favorite version, of a favorite piece...
The frame in the face of rick and he sings "no one sings me lullabies" in 16:49 kills me everytime
How the heck could anyone not like Pjnk Floyd? Epic performance by DG and RW
This Echoes performance is a jewel...
Це просто ульот. Величезна подяка Ріку Райту за його внесок у Pink Floyd. А Гілмору за його прекрасну гру і те що зміг утримати гурт.
Respect from Ukraine. 🇺🇦
just love how silent the crowd is during the last jam...wow!
Truly great music entrances and captivates it's audience - willingly and silently held hostage by the musical enchantment.
This is nothing short of a 22 minute mystical experience.
What a great performance...
so many chills down my spine this is a true masterpiece love love love love the pink floyd rick you genius R.I.P buddy david you genius keep rocking forever love you man theyll never be anything better
The sound of the piano by Rick in the intro is a very pleasurable !!! How I love this version is unspeakable !!! When the perfection touches our world !!! Thank you David and Rick for all your work .... For me the very best version of this masterpiece 😍❤
Dave played that solo several times each time he surprises us by a different version . MASTER
A colossal. . . . Immense. . . And eternal masterpiece!
Best live music i've heard in my life. Its another level of art, its like to see God.
I still hope that there will be a special place for good music in the universe like a libary for songs like this in 100000 years.
the drum work is phenomenal
And Rick Wright loves jamming this song! Showcases his talent, and he is having fun. 😎✨
How can Mr Gilmore changes the tone of echoes solo each time he plays it . Genius guitarist
the ending is pure magic. I just wanted it to go on forever. RIP Richard Wright.
Richard Wright forever! irreplaceable!!!
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 wheres or whys
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
No one speaks
And no one tries
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
Come 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 throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.
Thank you for the words..
Atol Everlast It’s ‘“The echo of a distant time.” I have used to think it was a distant tide but the live at Pompeii concert shows it was clearly time. Which makes much more sense since the whole first verse is about life evolving from the ocean onto the land.
I cant believe the generations from today, they missed this absolute masterpiece.
Doc: "You still have 20 Minutes to live"
Me: "I wanna hear ECHOES a last time"
Doc: "But this is 22:05 Minutes !"
GOD: "That`s okay, i wanna hear , too!"
Best comment EVER !!!
Yeah! Brilliant!
Gabriel just like “nah we ain’t accepting him till the song is over”
Oh my goodness. Thank you for uploading this. I never tire of Echoes, even if it's sad to think that Rick is now gone.
When i cant fall sleep i listen do this masterpiece and it helps so much.
Estás diciendo que te duerme....
I listen regardless.
@@tomaltinger8272 No, está diciendo que lo relaja, y que eso lo ayuda a dormir... Que ganas de tirar mala onda eh jajaja
@@anushka4099 pero si es soporifera.... jajaja
