He's hardly an unsung hero. Guitar player might only care about Gilmour, yes, but music fans in general love Richard Wright and understand his contribution. No member of Pink Floyd was unappreciated.
David Gilmour is one of the best musicians in the world. I saw pink floyd in 1976, or 1977, I can't remember what year but I was in the front row. Saw zeppelin the same week also front row. One of the greatest week in my life.
I totally agree!!! These two provided the magical music of Pink Floyd. They found their sound on the Meddle album. They are one of music’s great duo’s!
Waters and Nick Mason had that same chemistry when Roger Showed up for set the controls during nicks show. The chemistry between the four of them, is something we we'll never see or hear again.
@MichaelKingsfordGray Why did you call him a coward? Whether you even know this person or not, calling him a coward by typing it out on CZcams only makes yourself out to be one. By the way I’m Scottish if that’s got anything to do with it ?
Look at the face of the guy playing by the side of David Gilmour, he is so happy! And I'm sure that it's one of the best sensations of his life. Awesome music, awesome acoustic version.
@@michgingras you can play for a lifetime and still suck. Your technique will get better but you can't touch peoples heart without that geniuse. That is special. And sir you are dumb
I kind of wonder if that (the call and response piece at the end) was deliberate, not just to sound good, but also as a connection from music to lyrics, given the song's subject matter. It's no wonder Dave said he wouldn't be able to perform this song again after Richard's passing.
This song has always been important to David Gilmour, in fact it may be his favorite Pink Floyd song of all time. Because it truly was the transition of Pink Floyd from an experimental psycho rock band to the very serious mature sound that came after with Dark Side, Wish you were, Animals, and the Wall. This single song was that pivotal.
@@debd353 agreed. Very transitional album, since Echos was the entire side B of the album. One of these Days is another very significant song on that album as well.
@@superfantastichappymedia4617 It sure is! While Waters can be a self-important ass, I believe he is at heart a decent human, (as well as a gifted musician and songwriter).
And still not knighted.I guess Cliff Richard is deemed more preeminent?...I expect a man like DG would turn the K down though considering how degraded the honours system actually is these days.
I was so happy to find this video. Growing up, there was this, an album by Hendrix , the Police and SteelEyeSpan wedged in by the side of the radiogram. To my young ears, Meddle was my base for life, my reset point. Peace.
It’s one thing to play this song And an entirely different thing to write it The true brilliance of Gilmour and any artist who can carve the peaks so triumphant and the valleys so deeply of their own hearts into ours.
The love! The love in the facial expressions 😭😭😭 Id love it so much to work with David Gilmour. Those guys love it. Looking up to you David Gilmour, Forever.
Look at the sheer fun and happiness on that bass player's face... Imagine being up there playing and jamming with One of the best bands in music history
It seems that everything Gilmour touches turns to gold. I really like the band and especially I have a great affection for David Gilmour. Thank you very much
Just noodling around and accidentally break into an unplugged version of one of their greatest songs. Nice! Seems almost effortless on their part and best of all seems like they're having fun. :)
Pink Floyd looked like they had a ton of fun together in the latter years. Also Guy and David have always had kind an enthusiastic little bond as musicians in my opinion, always smiling, and Guy always seems to be having fun. Rick and David also have such a telepathic connection, it’ll never be replaced.. Love this so much.
@@justafanintexas7913 the cameras and soundboards were already set up because this is an excerpt from a session they did at abbey road. They actually did just break into the acoustic version of echoes, you can even hear at the beginning as the band weren’t entirely sure what they were doing.
This reminds me of a day when i had a class about string theory and multiverses, and made me really inspired, contemplative. So i had to go to my room as soon as could to play Echoes out loud. The deep thinking about life, atoms, universe and everything else in which I was, is the perfect match to listen to it, as the song resembles such abstract themes with the ethereal sounds and fantastic lyrics.
Hi David!!! Wish you were here my dear brother!! I have tripped with pink Floyd in my cassette player when I was ages 15 -20(knowingly) and continued to listen to you until my ripe old age of 48. Ily and hope to trip with you one day my friend. Kind regards Brian aka sunwake the dozer
funny how you go from "well this ain't no my old boi's Echoes" until 1:23 when it hits you like david always do... didn't have this awesome surprise since the famous sudden string bending at "Dogs".
i saw Floyd at Vanderbilt Stadium during the Animals concert,,,,,BLEW ME AWAY!!,,,,,,,,,tied up there with seeing Led Zepplin just before their tempo changed drastically before #3 came out,,,we were the first to hear it according to the announcer,,,they did LZ 1, then LZ2,,,then they floated down from the ceiling on a platform set up on sofas & such with the accoustic instruments,,,then they came out for the 4th set doing Elvis songs converted to Rock n Roll style,,,,BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE!! i get goose bumps just thinking about it!!! MERCY!!! later on we went to see Gilmore again,,,,the man just keeps on busting at the seams with natural musical wonders!!! i certainly hope he is a Christian so we can see him in the next life as well !!!
Guy is always so enthusiastic! I love that. Such a talented group of guys. Had to watch because I just knew that if David Gilmour and Rick Wright were in the room it would be fantastic! Plus Echoes? let’s be real one of the most iconic songs of all time. Love this!!!
A talent bestowed from the heavens. Pink Floyd such talented gentlemen glad they were part of my life with their music is part of my soul. What a good run Bravo!!!
Absolutely brilliant loved this version Pink Floyd are just amazing no matter what they are a band i can listen to none stop every album is outstanding in its own right 👌 ❤
During my formative years of the early 70's, the Echoes" album was very influential, the science-y, progressive nature really touched something deep and to hear this shortened 'jam' version brought back a cool flood of times spent with friends listening to this and the earth shattering discussions it sparked. Thanks!!!
You can tell how much they enjoy playing together. Pure magic and especially Gilmour of course. Guy Pratt is always great as he gets into it haha. He's great on the Run 1994 pulse version.
David Gilmour is amazing as a sort of diplomat. Got to see him solo concert in 1980's and he waved at a group of children with his smile. So calm compared to Waters. Wright really enjoyed this close to his last days.
Nothing, The return of the sons of nothing and finaly Echoes. It is a part of my life, listen to it every day, my favorits Gdansk, Royal Albert Hall, Pompeii and Abbey Road. ❤❤❤❤
After 50 years, David still switches up the inviting/inciting lyrics when he performs it live😂
hahaha always get mad when i sing it and he does that
RIP Richard Wright. Unsung hero of Pink Floyd.
The quiet man ✌️
He's hardly an unsung hero. Guitar player might only care about Gilmour, yes, but music fans in general love Richard Wright and understand his contribution. No member of Pink Floyd was unappreciated.
Wouldn’t of happened like it did without him RIP.
@Malcolm Doyle But extreme fans get to know the whole group well.
He endured so much abuse from Roger…
David Gilmour is one of the best musicians in the world. I saw pink floyd in 1976, or 1977, I can't remember what year but I was in the front row. Saw zeppelin the same week also front row. One of the greatest week in my life.
Lucky you... i was born 3 generations late
I’m of the same generation and I too was fortunate enough to see him live a couple of times. Greatest concerts of my lifetime.
Saw them August 88 Wembley stadium, legendary .
@@irakliymakhatadze2512 right!? 😩
I wish i could go in the past to be able to experience it once in my life !
The chemistry between Rick and David is not the type that comes around often. This music is timeless

Waters and Nick Mason had that same chemistry when Roger Showed up for set the controls during nicks show. The chemistry between the four of them, is something we we'll never see or hear again.
And early on, Roger wanted to kick Rick out of the band because he felt Rick wasn't good enough.
@@dyster5179 hmm considering that Gilmore actually played bass on almost all of Floyds albums that a bit rough!
The acoustic guitar makes the build up sound like Scottish music
@MichaelKingsfordGray wut?
@MichaelKingsfordGray
Hello Hello wake up from your nightmare
Almost Led Zeppelin III like
@@rick.m5789 nah fam. Led zeppelin black mountain

1:40 the look in Gilmour's eyes, so magical
That man has SO much soul in those beautiful eyes! He’s pure magic in my opinion! 🪄
Exactly! Even more so at 1:50
RIP Richard 🙏
the legend
Amazing man.
Look at the face of the guy playing by the side of David Gilmour, he is so happy! And I'm sure that it's one of the best sensations of his life. Awesome music, awesome acoustic version.
Rodolfo Bellato it's the son in law of Richard Wright.
@@blinx738 Guy Pratt
Pub quiz fact, Guy Pratt played bass for Pink Floyd live for longer than Roger Waters.
@@stevenlawrence278 and better
That guy is Rick Wright’s son in law
The best part - Conversation between two friends, David and Rick❤️
i swear the ending to "Echoes" with that exchange between Gilmour and Wright is the most beautiful music i've ever heard. Unbelievable
Echoes is 50 years old today and it's still holds up !
A google search indicates 'Echoes' was released in 1971. That's 50 years ago.
One of their best, in my humble opinion.
Took me 11 years to come upon this gem. Time is irrelevant. But yeah, still it's 50 years ago :)
Wow
Incredible staying power. Echoes and Shine on you Crazy Diamond feel more like the classical canon than just rock songs.
WTF
I love how they’re all smiling at each other
I love how they just casually played a masterpiece with perfection. Musical Geniuses.
i hope so , he has been playing this since the 70s, sight, comments on youtube are so dumb ! and no he is no geniuse, just a cool man, get real !
As this was a recording for a TV show they'd probably rehearsed it beforehand.
@@michgingras you can play for a lifetime and still suck. Your technique will get better but you can't touch peoples heart without that geniuse. That is special. And sir you are dumb
Richard Wright on them keys🔥
Tickling the ivory!
The whole thing is amazing of course. But I LOVE the call and response with Gilmore and Wright at the end. Simply magic.

Yes, brought tears to my eyes!

@@superfantastichappymedia4617 It's my favourite album. Been listening to it for over 40 years.
@@debd353 I just saw where recently Roger Waters invited both David Gilmour and Nick Mason on stage with him during one of his shows. Great to see.
@@superfantastichappymedia4617 It sure is! While Waters can be a self-important ass, I believe he is at heart a decent human, (as well as a gifted musician and songwriter).
The Gilmour/Wright double vocal tracking is as good as it gets. Sheer genius.
Been listening to 'Echoes' for 40 years and it still gives me chills. And it will probably give me chills for a thousand years or more.
The most beautiful sounding guitar player ever,he will never be replaced,he’s one of a kind.
His solos are almost like listening to someone telling an emotional story.
Yep
And still not knighted.I guess Cliff Richard is deemed more preeminent?...I expect a man like DG would turn the K down though considering how degraded the honours system actually is these days.
Still brings tears to my eyes after 50 years. Sends me peacefully off to sleep....
A magic song from a magic man and the smile tells it all. Decades of playing this song and he still enjoys playing it!!!!😆🎸👏 RIP RICHARD WRIGHT✌

1988 arrowhead stadium was a religious experience for me I'm now 59 and still one of the greatest nights of my life
God bless them all
Im 59 and this music opens up my heart god bless you brothers for the joy you've cultivated with your soulful sounds and voices
You can hand a broom to David Gilmour and he will still manage to sound it like magical instrument from Heaven's garden.
And, by why of coincidence, you can hand me a guitar and I can make it sound like broom...
why? is that a bad guitar?
Great description.
Nope. Sorry. He needs a Fender Stratocaster
unbelievable feeling and cooperation - the piece of art
YES!!! THAT'S THE WAY TO EXPLAIN IT 😭😭

After screwing up massively in the beginning and getting dirty looks from Gilmour lol
It seems that everything Gilmour touches turns to gold. I really like the band and especially I have a great affection for David Gilmour. Thank you very much
Just noodling around and accidentally break into an unplugged version of one of their greatest songs. Nice! Seems almost effortless on their part and best of all seems like they're having fun. :)
Accidentally? And the sound board and mixers were "accidentally" set-up, too?

Guy Pratt got a lot of camera love in this shot. Good to see him playing around with the upright.
Im always in awe of the rhythm section of this band..it compliments David Gilmour so well
1:29 David forgetting the lyrics for a moment but Rich is there to cover for him

Wonderful stuff. The late great Richard Wright RIP.
I never saw Floyd, but caught Waters at Radio City Music hall in NY. Gilmour is one of the best guitarists in my lifetime, so far.

This is such great music, Gilmour and Wright are magical, I still love this song in all its versions !
flawless masterpiece
It would have been wonderful to have gotten a acoustic "greatest hits" album by Pink Floyd before Rick passed. *sigh* 😢
Yeah, that really would have been a treat. “And then one day you find / Ten years have got behind you” - as true as ever. Life’s so short…
I love seeing David Gilmour smile.
Absolutely awesome. There is no word strong enough to qualify such beauty.
Awesome! Pink Floyd/Gilmore sound. Takes me back to the 70's.
The boys just having a real cool jam session.
Che tocco fantastico che ha Gilmour ....sa rendere grandioso anche ciò che è semplice.♥️
This brought me to tears
A talent bestowed from the heavens. Pink Floyd such talented gentlemen glad they were part of my life with their music is part of my soul. What a good run Bravo!!!
How incredibly great - just soothes the soul to kick back and soak it in
The drummer's face was such a treat! He was playing just thinking "can I help keep this going?....omg!✌😎
Breathtakingly magical and emotional. Thanks for posting 💜
This album is a masterpiece ✨
The bit when Dave and Rick are doing the solo portion is pure PF gold
David Gilmore you are the Man! Best guitar!!! Love you David for what you are, for your music! Wish you the Best!!!
Valery.
Gilmour and Wright, THE masters......
David est vraiment gigantesque ! Merci pour tout !
What an amazing person! What a brilliant musician! Epoch! Music is timeless!
Whoa I had no idea how that whooshing outro sound was made, it was awesome to see Rick create it live
It was originally done by Roger with a slide on the bass, with an echorec delay.
J'ai une très grande estime pour cet artiste qui a bercé toute ma jeunesse. C'est excellent !!! Merci pour ce partage
David Gilmour rocks!!! Love it.
The whole song should get an acoustic version
Fantástic. I was 15 y.o when heard in 1973 by first time

The drummer, Steve D., is always grinning.
4:52 The way Gilmour and Wright look at each other and having fun while the song comes to an end🥺❤️😭
When somebody loves what they're doing it's magical.
The arpeggio is my favorite riff of all time. Full version of the song it hits like a modern day bass drop.
David Gilmour is amazing as a sort of diplomat. Got to see him solo concert in 1980's and he waved at a group of children with his smile. So calm compared to Waters. Wright really enjoyed this close to his last days.
What can we say... Great, great, great! Many thanks for your special straordinary Art, David!
Nothing will beat the pompei version of Echoes in the Roman Amphitheater, but this is still great. Nice work gents 👌
The last minute, especially the melody is very emotional
Just beautiful.
Richard Wright, deep mind of Floyd’s sound. RIP
I'm proud that Mel Gibson finally had agreed to play the chelo with David Gilmour and recreate echoes in acoustic, magnificent
Funny because Tucker Carlson is playing the drums!
A full version of this would have been amazing
Dave is to Rick as
Roger is to Nick.
Wish the rhythm section was here....
Anyway this is just a fantastic version.
This makes me so happy. Geniuses
very , very BEAUTIFUL !
amazing David Gilmour is the best
I long to be as happy as that double bass guy. Imagine improv jamming with David and Richard...
Conjured up out of nothing into a jam session and then magic
Magic! Amazing!!
tears in my eyes, thank you
Stunning.

Wow, what a wonderful performance
David Gilmour-Rick Wright Masterpiece I listen to still today.
Genius, highest class of music.
The peoples that were in the room at that time were witness of a magical moment.
Would sell my soul to the devil to live a moment like this.
Beautiful share, very nice video, you play very beautiful, amazing band.
Thanks for your wonderful song.
