      I think it’s because so many of the songs from their classic period, he wasn’t required to do too much. It was always spot on, but not showy. Pompeii shows his skills for sure.

    Vic from Pittsfield in the beautiful Berkshire Hills in Western Mass. Pink Floyd fan since hearing Ummagumma in 1969. Saw them 4 times, twice in the 70s with Roger Waters, (Boston Garden, 75 & 77), then twice when David Gilmour was their musical director. Always a great show, in the 70s I saw all of Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and Animals. The 1975 encore was Echoes, it don't get better than that.
    Thanks for more from Pompeii, they were incredible no matter what era, after Pompeii you should do the Pulse Concert in order, you will love it as well. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶

      You really have it in for Nick. lol
      Pink Floyd started as a motley crew of kids growing into young men......with little to no talent.
      Syd had no more talent than the others , but he took the reigns on amateurish vocals and beginners guitar.
      Syd leed the way, but all 4 band members improved, got better, and became quality ROCK musicians once David replaced Syd .
      Now Roger usurped the throne as band leader, and wrote some magical lyrics, utilising the music of David, Rick and NICK !!!
      NICK and Rick are just as important to Pink Floyd as David.
      Even when David gets the writing credits and monthly cheque.. .....Nick and Rick ( and Roger ) would create their parts and record them first......then David would basically over dub his guitar parts over their foundations......the foundations that draw you in, relax you, get you in the moment.......so Davids guitar can knock for 6.
      Nick's drumming is for the music and the band, just as Ringo played for the Beatles , Charlie played for the Stones and Carmine Appice played for Vanilla Fudge and then Rod Stewart......all of them sacrificing their own showmanship for The Band and The Music.
      Ginger might have been a better drummer, and he did play for the Music, but not the BAND.
      GINGER expected and demanded the band to play for HIM.
      Bonham was only copying Carmine Appice and deliberately playing louder to steal as much as he could from Plant and Page.
      Carwere mine's drum licks, rhythms, beats etc made Bonham famous, just as Led Zepplin did.......but they were never a cohesive and " MUSICAL " unit.
      3 egos trying to outdo each other while their best musician on bass and organ had the job of knitting it all together to be saleable. lol

      @@Rassskle Probably....But, when you watch the last live, when Dave and Rick, played together, at Gdansk, you realize, who, in that band, created the sounds, and voices, the atmosphere, of PINK FLOYD, the band everybody on earth can recognize immediatly (like Jimi Hendrix, even peoples who don't like it, never listened to it, already, heard that, on a radio, with friends, family, and you know who it is)....😢I love too much different kind of music, bands, as a former roadie, i worked with legends in my country France, i traveled to see legends, i'm not a harcore fan,only talking about one band, or one genre....That's why, in my opinion, Syd isn't so much important, in Pink Floyd's music....But, for sure, they never forgot him, and the lyrics, of a lot of songs were talking about him....(they felt guilty, that's all)....Even if you're a great fan of Pink Floyd, you cannot say , Syd was at the same level as David Gilmour🤔

      During the David Gilmore years, Pink Floyd was always a band......although Roger resented that and made sure they were not brothers , until he left.
      Yessss..... David is the front man, the distinctive guitar and vocals.......but you know it is Pink Floyd BEFORE you hear his guitar or voice.
      Richards organ and synths are the bedrock of the Pink Floyd sound and essenti al to that sound that draws you into a surreal world of audio pleasure before Davids guitar amazes you or his vocals make you comfortable, as do Rick's.

    These Pompeii reactions are getting me very excited for the Nick Mason concert this summer. He is playing a UK+Europe tour. He plays early Pink Floyd songs, everything from the pre-Dark Side of the Moon period. His band includes Guy Pratt (bassist) who has been performing with Gilmour since the 80's. I saw the Mason concert two years ago and it was great. It's smaller venues than Waters and Gilmour play and with the older songs it really captures the spirit of the earlier Floyd shows.
    Last time Nick played Echoes and One of These days as well, looking forward the what setlist they will have this time round.

    IIRC, after the departure of Syd, the band was not really sure the direction they would go, especially in terms of writing lyrics.. . so the idea of doing soundtracks and instrumentals really came into play. A number of songs, pre-DSotM, came from just noodling around and cutting the pieces together...

    I'm pretty sure the art being projected behind them comes from the ruins of Pompeii. The lyrics to Set the Controls don't have any particular meaning. Waters borrowed some of the lines from a book of poetry, and wrote other lines to accompany them. Supposedly the studio version of this song that appears on Saucerful of Secrets is the only Pink Floyd song where both David Gilmour and Syd Barrett play on the same track, although it's impossible to tell who played what.

      No. All images are from Pompeii. None of the Elgin marbles are involved at all. The bodies shown are those of REAL PEOPLE caught in time forever from the pyroclastic cloud from Mount Vesuvius that rapidly engulfed Pompeii - resulting in its amazing preservation.
      ALL the music was recorded in the amphitheater while the only studio shots (those with the large background images) were done in Paris a bit later … but the lads were miming (well) to the music.
