Thanks for this. Echoes, David Gilmore, live what a combination. Echoes in one of my absolute Floyd favorites. I am sure I have played the LP version more than any other PF song. A great and their best song from a time when PF were not famous. Love this version the enhancements and extensions are great. Enjoy so much seeing the work and effort the guys put into this song and they really know how to put the PF show too. Deep Purple live, Made in Japan is another great live work too (but no DVD). I just wish that this technology was around from the 60's onwards to capture all those amazing live music events we enjoyed. Finally It is great seeing you really enjoy music you know well and really like.
Pretty sure that was the last live performance Rick and David played together. I don't think Gilmour has played it live since. He said he could never perform the song without Rick.
29:15 -- I feel and think exactly the same. Pink Floyd represents my childhood, my dreams, my feelings, my memories with my parents ... everything, really. Fun fact, I was always afraid when I was listening to their album 'The Dark Side of The Moon' when I was 10 because their sounds effects always gave me the creeps but I was so fascinated, and I was so into their very and unique universe at the same time, I couldn't resist!! Just like their 'Wish You Were Here' album with the burning man! I was so intrigued, and so fascinated by this photo, I couldn't stop looking at this photo, just like this man without a face, hands, and legs in the desert! Wow! I was so intrigued!! And of course, all the photos by Hipnosis anyway. Those two albums are my favorite and represent my childhood (including 'Atome Heart Mother' that I always listen to, lying on the grass on a sunny day). Pink Floyd IS and always would be my favorite band of all time too.
[UPDATE] @A Pocketful Of Heep -- I have found something really interesting for you!! David Gilmour talking about his favorite song ... listen!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8xHo2c45Qxo.html
[UPDATE 2] -- @A Pocketful Of Heep - Another great video for you about this song. An anecdote about this song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZKDal6V77ZI.html
The end between the guitar and the keyboards was basically David Gilmour and Rick Wright waving goodbye to each other!! I believe this will eventually go down as one of those pieces of music like Mozart's Requiem or Beethoven's 9th Symphony! I believe we got to witness the Mozart of the twentieth century when it comes to Pink Floyd! I've seen them twice in the 70s once in 87 and once in 1994 live and consider that good timing and luck!! As a side note Bob Ezrin the producer who worked with Alice Cooper & many other great groups worked as a producer with David Gilmour and Pink Floyd on "The Wall". He made a statement about David Gilmour in Guitar magazine that you could give David Gilmour a ukulele and he would turn it into a Stradivarius! As a follow-up statement he stated that David Gilmour has the best set of hands with which I have ever worked by far!! That should tell people just how good he is when a producer with Bob Ezrin's status would say that!!
@@apocketfulofheep I am a pretty new a Pink Floyd fan (within the last 6 years or so) and got to see David Gilmour on his 2016 tour when it came through Chicago. It was phenomenal. I read a recent quote from him that said he was working on a new album and hoped to have it finished and possibly also tour sometime in the next year or two. I hope so--he's my dad's age (75) and he usually tours once every 10 years!
I can't wait to hear the new album. I really enjoyed Rattle that lock. I found I liked it more than the Crosby, Gilmour, and Nash that On An Island was at points.
I feel this version is hands down the best version. David's guitar is so much more pronounced and defined. Guitar work so good after the first 2 versus of lyrics. Especially the part starting at 5:30 until about 6:40. You don't get that in any other version. Pompeii has a different tone on that part. Not as hard. Pompeii or anything else not as good as the Gdansk. David said he won't perform Echoes ever again since Richard's passing
Unfortunately this song will never be played live by pink floyd ever again. After richard died, Gilmour said that half of the song died with him. And he won't play it without him because he sees the song as "a conversation between him and richard" and won't play it with anyone else out of respect
