first time listening to Pink Floyd's ECHOES Live at Pompeii 🇮🇹 Pt I 

full cut prog reaction :) to an iconic LIVE performance :) Pink Floyd is a very special band to my Dad so i'm feeling very thankful to be blessed with this music!!

nicks drumming on this track is just perfection

It's cool seeing a young person so excited to listen to the classics...

This is my favorite era of Floyd. Saucer Full of Secrets. Animals. Dark Side of the Moon. Just absolute bangers. RIP Richard Wright.

This entire performance is truly epic. They were at their peak as band.

and here Ladies & Gentlemen is not someone LISTENING to music, but someone FEELING music !

The live performance of this song from Gdansk is unbelievably good. Rick Wright's final performance.

Im 57 and this is one song i never gave a chance as a kid .When i started watching reaction videos a few years ago i found these great songs i missed . One prog band i never got in to was Old Genesis and i now realize they were amazing Try Suppers Ready the album version i promise you it will blow you away it has now become one of my favs Keep rocking these song will stay with you forever

I heart your dad. The man has impeccable taste in music. This is easily one of the most cherished DVDs I own. There was a period in college when I watched it at least once a day. I was just getting into playing lead stuff at the time and I was stalking Gilmour's tone.

as far as I know, their performance here is the first performance at this ampitheater since the volcano blew off at mt vesuvius in 79AD. its very fitting.

I love David's voice, and his solo albums are great too. I think his voice got even better with age.

All of Pink Floyd is super talented, but David Gilmore is just amazing. Doesn't play flashy stuff, but he always hits the most satisfying notes in with immaculate bends and vibratos. It's the like guitar is an extension of his soul haha. Gotta love it. He also really really good at slide guitar. I'd suggest checking out "One of These Days" from Pulse Live 1994. Really cool instrumental.

If you could react to "A Saucerful of Secrets" from their same performance at Pompeii it would be very cool. It's the more raw act from this set. It blew my mind the first time I listened to.

The Band were in a smooth groove & the setting provided a perfect echo chamber. Awesome 👌 🎸 & 🥁. One of their best songs.

I typically do not like live performances, but there is nothing 'typical' about Pink Floyd!

You have to listen to part 2! Part 1 and part 2 are a one song on the album! BTW the whole Pompeii show is pure gold!

Good to know that there's young people feeling the same way I did when I first heard this back in the 70s!

"Dave was brilliant at double-tracking vocals...." - Richard Wright(the keyboard player). Not only does Gilmore "double track" his own vocals, but they mix perfectly with Rick's voice, as well. As they evolved, Roger Waters got a bit of an ego, and it's a damned shame. Had they stayed with the "Roger writes the lyrics while Dave and Rick come up with the music".... we can only imagine what they'd have done. Pink Floyd was greater than the sum of their parts, and they all knew it. The documentary, "Which One is Pink" is something you should watch. It really tells how they got together, how Syd Barrett lost his mind, how David Gilmore became part of the band, and how they kept going with Syd's memory, and how much success they had because of it. I highly recommend it.

This is a masterpiece!! So glad you listened to it!

I remember going to see this film when it was premiered in London. It's good to see that it is still enjoyed today.

I really love watching your reactions. It’s nice seeing someone who is so emotionally invested in the music!

This is my favourite song. Your dad has great taste :)

Hey Kira, it's awesome that you are into it. Can't wait for part 2. Meddle is one of my all time favorites. You'll love the whole album/CD. Great reaction Kira!!!!

You're right; they're in the ancient amphitheater in Pompeii in southern Italy, where the volcano Vesuvius destroyed the city in 79 AD, playing for the ghosts. This was a musical conversation between David and Rick Wright; after Rick's passing David never played it again.

A 59 year old in Scotland, loving it here, so much memories of hearing the album playing from my big sisters bedroom. As great today as it sounded then.

Thanks so much for this reaction. By any measure this performance is exceptional. Don't forget to listen to the album version too, the transition to the funky section hits even harder.

I came across your video through recommendations and it's so cute to see you react like this, I really recognized myself when I first listened to this masterpiece! The lyrics mean a lot to me, and the whole music is so beautiful and tells a story, and that's why Echoes is my favorite Pink Floyd song now (it's almost as if 23 minutes of this song weren't enough sometimes) :) thank you so much for your enthusiasm it was a pleasure to watch!

40 years ago I was your age and first discovered Floyd. I'm glad you've discovered them, too.

Thank u for reacting to this it’s one of my favorite songs

So much fun watching your authentic response and how much you enjoy the music. big like.

I absolutely enjoyed your enthusiasm for the song. 😊❤

Hi Kira, I love your video. Very moving song to me as well. Had fun watching it with you!

I’ve introduced my teenage son to Pink Floyd and he also loves them. Good work on appreciating this amazing band.

Wonderful reaction from one so young. So glad to know that the music from my youth is still appreciated. Thanks and take care.

you were really feeling it! What a keeper 🔥

When you have lyrics like.... "The echoe of a distant time comes willowing across the sand" you know its something other worldly 😉

I must say I thoroughly enjoy your lovely reaction to this timeless piece! This is my favorite version of my favorite song from my favorite band! You got all of it!!!!!!!!! What a delight watching your enjoyment of this masterpiece!

Wonderful to see a youngster absorb the sublime beauty of this work of art. I literally listen to this version of the song * every * single * day! Its it medicine for my soul.

My dad would play this so much during my childhood, at home during quiet evenings. I am very thankful for him, for introducing me to quality music. We even watched their vlog collection off a DVD, and a documentary, together. This song, in particular, always impressed me with the sound, even without understanding exactly what they were saying :D This young David was, I believe, my childhood crush at one point lol

In many parts this emotional piece is a “requiem”. The director and producer had chosen that specific location after finding himself alone in that amphitheater. (He had lost the wallet while on a trip with his fiance and a group of tourists in Italy and returned to look for it. It was almost sunset and he was very impressed by the silence and strange atmosphere. The echoes he noticed turned his mind to the Pink Floyd song.) His emotions were enhanced by knowing the following facts: On August 24, year 79, the silence in the Gulf of Naples was interrupted by the violent eruption of Mount Vesuvius. In 48 hours, during the eruption, thousands of people died and several cities were destroyed, two of them completely buried under the ashes : Pompeii and Herculaneum. 20,000 people lived in Pompeii, and the city had a thriving economy, supported by merchants, local producers and farmers. The eruption of 79 was preceded by a strong earthquake, which occurred in February 62, and a smaller one, in 64. According to Pliny the Younger, the Romans were not alarmed by the earthquakes in the area, they took place quite frequently. Therefore, when, starting with August 20, 79, a series of small earthquakes shakes the region, the locals do not panic. The volcano was still quiet. On August 24, around noon, Mount Vesuvius exploded, propelling a cloud of ash into the atmosphere. In the next 12 hours, tons of ash and volcanic material fell on the city of Pompeii. Most of the inhabitants took refuge from the disaster, but about 2,000 people stayed behind, hidden in cellars or stone structures, hoping to be safe. The wind direction protected Herculaneum from the initial phase of the eruption, but eventually the city was covered by a toxic cloud of ash, followed by a deadly wave of pyroclastic flow. The inhabitants of Pompeii survived the first day of the eruption, but died on August 25, when a cloud of toxic gas flooded the city, suffocating the remaining. The cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried under a few meters of ash and volcanic material. With the passage of time, they were forgotten, being rediscovered only in the eighteenth century, when a marble statue was unearthed at the Herculaneum, following excavations. In 1748, a farmer discovered traces of ancient Pompeii on the land of his vineyard. Since then, excavations have continued almost uninterrupted to this day. Currently, Mount Vesuvius is the only active volcano on the European continent. It last erupted in 1944, but the last major eruption took place in 1631. Specialists expect the mountain to erupt again in the relatively near future. This time, however, about 700,000 people are in danger.

OMG I loved this video. Thank you very much. This song became my fav, after an Uber recommended it, he first time I heard it my mind also blowed haha cause it's so incredible, and touch, I don't why this song isn's one of that everyone know. Anyway, I found you by YT recomendation and I totally love it, you gain a subscriber. Sorry for my english, it's not my first language :)

Your obvious joy at watching this is so great to watch. Pink Floyd will live forever.

Love it!

One if my faves. Great choice!

Kudos to you young lady!! You "get" Pink Floyd. Keep on expanding your musical horizons.

As a retired musician old enough to be your Grandpa it's lovely to see someone your age rocking to the same tunes I did when I was young and cool. I promise I was cool. You're cool too.

best band ever lived kira you're in for a treat going down this rabbit hole

Great reaction!!

I've lost count of the times I've heard this song and it's always very good

Outstanding!!!!!!!

Echoes sure is a gem. Can't get enough of it!

one of the best live perfomances ever to be captured on tape

It was so enjoyable watching someone jam out to Nick's mad skills on the drums... Hell, jamming out to all of them. This entire album is masterpiece after masterpiece ending with "One of These Days"...

Hi Kira great reaction to one of the best prog rock bands ever and I'm sure you will enjoy listening to many of their other lesser known songs, and I'm sure your dad has told you this many times that the name is derived from to blues men one called Pink Anderson and the other Floyd Council which Syd Barrett had in his Piedmont album collection, anyway really looking forward to the second part and any others you will be reacting to.

Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band in the world, that being said I’m sorry…. David is my favorite!!! He’s gorgeous and so is his voice. Such a talented band. Love your reaction. This is the greatest song and the greatest version ever 💚 I get chills every single time they play. David’s playing is my ultimate comfort.

Such a killer tune and a great album Meddle is!

Thank for leaving the song complete !

i love watching people react to awesome music for the first time.

watch pink floyd live in the pulse concert recommendations are great gig in the sky, comfortably numb and run like hell they will blow you away and i was there to witness the best band ever

i sat in the amphitheatre in Pompeii and watched this on my laptop... surreal Respect & Peace

Pink Floyd are just a phenomenal band tight as f*ck! Brilliant reaction video.

I couldn't help but notice a big grin on your face when young David made his appearance 💖

So glad you're taking the time to listen to the sounds from when Rock-n-Roll was forming. Music performed by

Late to this reaction, but Pompeii has pleasantly haunted much of my life at different times. Wonderful reaction. Very glad to see this performance resonate with you.

I think I've said this before, but you have the most entertaining reaction videos on RU-vid. And, you're lovely as well. Great song choice! Keep up the good work. Hey, a nice non-mainstream selection would be something from Captain Beyond's first album from.1972. It should have conquered the world, but poor record company support held it back.

Like your video one of the few i have seen watch them live on there chanel. Very nice

Amazing perfomance by the Pink floyd , man!

I’m here from the future and Kira your going to make a great video on the big three of grunge and I just wanted to say nice job. 😉

I came here for the reaction of Echoes and the first thing that I saw was your shirt by Interpol, one of my favorite bands. That's what I said is a good taste.

still get chills from that opening verse

You get it, and for that I thank you.

Kira please let the reaction to part 2 be a full uncut one!

Thank you!

I almost cried when I first watched this video

Precious. And sis...come ON! You got that 10k!

Dad knows best :) xx full respect

Live at Pompeii is a magnificent film.

Pink Floyd IS The Greatest Band Ever and Dark Side of the Moon is the Greatest album ever recorded, it's a masterpiece. I've seen Pink Floyd three times, the first was The Wall at the LA Sports Arena, 2/7/1980 in "Quadraphonic Sound". The Second two times was the Pulse tour at the Rose Bowl 4/17/1994 and 4/18. I've seen Roger on his solo tours four times and Dave on five of his. I've seen the Aussie Floyd seven times and been blessed to be able afford seats in the first 20 rows for all of shows mentioned. @

I want part 2 right now also!!!

God when Roger kicks in the bass, Gilmour screaming those strings, Nick the Animal on drums, and beautiful Rick filling the music w) keyboards.

One of the greatest concerts ever and it was played to an empty audience. Imagine being there for this.

Lindo ver todos os instrumentos bem ouvidos e separados em cada parte. Incrível a banda.

I remember the first time I heard this song, it's amazing

Me caíste super bien. Saludos!

Nice to see an Australian reactor to Pink Floyd and a daughter following in her Dad's footsteps.

Dope Interpol hoodie too!

the location this was filmed, was the arena of ancient pompei...those sculpters and freezies you see around the arena, ...actually witnessed gladiators fight to the death...over 2,000 years ago...pink floyd played homage to the memory of past eons, ...so when you see those faces keep showing in the video..just remember the venue pink floyd played in here....thousands and thousands of long dead peoples...listening through the ageless stone!!!

i live for that slow zoom in

Loved live in Pompeii.

1:42 It made me so happy to see someone acknowledge rogers bass. No one ever really does out of all the reactions ive seen. He really is downplayed as a bassist & needs more recognition. Great reaction Loved it. You should react to another brick in the wall part 2, Live earls court 1980. Great performance, they’re last tour together as a group (well if you exclude their reunion in 2005 lol) But yeah you should really give it a try. Much love.

One of Classic Progs "Greatest" Epics, especially this Live Pompeii cut !!!! So glad you are experiencing all this fantastic Classic Prog & Rock music of my days 1967'-1979', the Best there ever was !! : D No Punk !! Lol

Manual, of course. They are masters. Great reaction video! Us And Them from The Pink Floyd Sound next! Cheers!

5:36 - Gilmour's unique phrasing and ultimate bends are smashing

the change of key on this song always get me goosebumps and the chromatic walking....... oh gosh the tension

🎼Masterpiece🎼

I love it when younger generations latch onto pink floyd,,im 65 and have been listening to them for 45 yrs and still listen daily,,,seeing how you reacted to echoes may i sudgest you listen to "on the turning away pulse concert" you may shed a slight tear so have a tissue handy,,then listen to "one of these days pulse concert",,,with this track ride the accustic intro its amazing track and the light show is superb,,,,,,enjoy

Fantastic reaction. So exciting that you so totally GOT IT! Please, some Gabriel-era Genesis...

Kiran I can just see you becoming a pink floyd groupie,what a great,great reaction you were just tremendous I myself am just so pleased that your great dad introduced you to the greatest progressive rock band in the world bar none. You are starting to go down the pink floyd rabbit hole to another galaxy of mind and beautifull music that will get your heart pumping your blood rushing with excitement which you can hardly bare plus brain explosion with happiness and glee.may I suggest as a must please react to comfortably numb,and sorrow and any other track from the live pulse concert which was held at Earl's Court London in 1994 which I was lucky enough to get a ticket to the light show the guitar solos the crowd the whole thing will blow your mind.by the way you have now got a new subscriber well done and good luck in the future from a die hard pink floyd fan from the 60s.👍👏👏👏👏💕💕🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

as a very long time floyd fan, it still holds up against anything else done today, just image that's approximate 50 yrs ago when they made it. so many influenced by it and their music all around the world. a love of their music and not their public ego, expression with feel and all members participating equally. just amazing to look back on when there was zero digital in any aspect of this.

Tea and Doughnuts for this, back in a minute.......OK you can start now.
