HIP HOP HEAD REACTS TO PINK FLOYD - ECHOES (LIVE IN POMPEII) (PART 1) 

The crowd finally turned up 45 years later when the guitarist did a solo gig.

What an incredible privilege it is to be able to see this stuff on RU-vid. How many of us would actually have ever seen this brilliant performance?

This level of Floyd is simply on a different plane of existence than 99% all other music. One of the greatest dilemmas of my personal life is deciding which is better between Echoes and Dogs.

So happy to listen to a Pink Floyd reactor who really loves Nick Mason’s drumming in all his reactions. Love that he appreciates and picks up on just what Mason brought to the Pink Floyd sound with his behind the beat playing and his casual gentle fills. Never over the top, just fills out the sound so perfectly.

Cause you may be cool, but you'll never be shirtless David Gilmour rocking in a 2000 year old amphitheater cool

I've been a Floyd fan for 42 yrs,it makes me very happy to see younger generations experience their music,welcome to the family,enjoy the journey.

Pompeii is an ancient city in southern Italy that was destroyed in 79 AD (2,000 years ago) by the volcano Vesuvius. Pink Floyd are performing in the amphitheater there, for all the ghosts of long ago. Rick Wright on keyboards, David Gilmour on lead guitar, Roger Waters on bass guitar, Nick Mason on drums.

Rodger never gets enough credit for his bass lines

One of the best groove drops in all of music.

That bass bro is a memoribilia of relics

best band of all times 😎👍

God I love this song, the control and no wasted notes, somehow they make sense out of all these noises.

My teens(60s and 70s) coincided with hi-fidelity stereophonic sound systems becoming affordable for teens in the suburbs. Goodbye 78 disk's. Goodbye basic rock and roll. Goodbye AM radio. Hello Floyd. Hello albums. They made use of the quality and power. Artful and rewarding.

Dave and Rick have amazing musical chemistry. It's truly a wonder to behold.

They did this gig in the amphitheater due to the acoustics -- and it worked 😁 Hip-hop and Rap is a form of music that I've always found difficult to TRUELY connect with -- I realise the complexities of it, the lyrical mastery is unsurpassed in all honesty, but I always still ask myself "Do you understand it? ... do you feel it?" ... still I dont know 😊 Floyd is just as complex -- and thought provoking so; for me, its joyous to see people from completely different musical mind-sets, listening to Floyd and getting that same groove from the music. It's truely beautiful.

This song is one of several Floyd tunes that's true acid rock. Maybe I say that cause I've seen them 3 times and was seriously trippin. Many moons ago!

This is pure musical genius in one take on analog tape. Not to mention the first live act in the arena in 2000 years!

Great reaction, brother. This is EPIC!! Seriously, something special happened on that day. I'm like you. I can't handle but 1of their songs a day. They just wreck your emotions. Legendary band! GOATS!

It was 1971, no "digital" and very little electronics ... mostly electromechanics like the Leslie with which Rick amplified the piano from the beginning to get that Sonar-like sound. Thanks

This music just connects so many different kinds of people in so many levels. No matter your age, your race or your religion... it's just beautiful.

I was so pleased to see this finally pop up on your channel. A true masterpiece.

"My fucking ears just got violated" is one way to put it. Made me laugh.

You made the face when the groove started...... Yeah, you were feeling it. Great reaction.

If you have a chance, check out Celestial Voices from Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii. People sleep on that one but they shouldn't. It may be one of the most sublime pieces of music ever and I've yet to see one person doing a reaction to it.

This performance is incredible.... like, one of the greatest bands to ever do it. No other band will ever compare. Love your reaction when the funk section dropped. They are too good.

These are the reactions that I really want or care to see. This man is from a different era than me (white, in my 50's) but more importantly, he's a master of the hip hop game so he hears the mastery of this 60's psychedelic music and I'm interested in what he has to say about it. I subscribed and will look forward to his content.

Another mortal taken on a Pink Floyd trip

welcome to the pink floyd´s family. That is the pink floyd effect. If you can, if you can. Pls bro, pls listen "You gotta be crazy" that song blow you mind. Wembley 1974 version.

Often overlooked but the keyboard playing is a massive part of this track, but then on reflection every instrument has a massive role.

I stood on that spot in '86 when I was in Navy. Respect to ancient lives and modern Floyd melding together!

You MUST do their live version of Comfortably Numb in 1994 at Earls Court. Easily the best song ever performs live by any band. The ending solo is a work of art that will leave you speechless. David Gilmore doesn’t plug his guitar into an amplifier, he plugs it into your soul and cranks it up to 11. I saw them on this tour in Vancouver and there are no words to describe what happened during this song. I remember leaving the arena thinking what the hell did I just witness? One word. Greatness.

Exact feeling/reaction I get every time I hear this song!

Floyd is their own genre. If you go down that hole......you may not come back. Right on.

Your reaction Jay Rah is priceless. One of the best I have seen ever. You are genuinely feeling their music.

“Hold up hold up.....lemme make sure this is turned up alllll the way”.....🤘🏻🤘🏻 lmao.. hell yeah bro, only way to feel the Floyd.

This song blast me away from my mind and chewing my brain in the trip 🤯🤣

It gave me joy watching you discover this work of art

fun watching someone experience my favorite music for the first time. glad you like it. floyd is definitely a vibe especially their early stuff. good job.

Yo bro!!! You are in the groove with Floyd!!! Glad you liked it!!!!! Awesome reaction!!!!

Hah, the transition at 09:28 got him good!! That bass groove is soooooo damn sexy...

Good song to go to bed to, just know it is earth and soul itself.

Brotha out of all the reactions I’ve seen.. this one by far was the best funny as hell😂😂👌

Yessss! Their masterpiece, IMO...and so young then! 🔥🎶🔥 100 thumbs up! 🤗 Never too much Floyd!

What an experience😊

What a great experience ,so laid back ,and that's you young man, fabulous reaction to legends ,keep it going for your British fans

It was 50 years ago and still is an event of biblical proportions

Back in the day, we had a dark room....some black lights, some pillows on the floor in a circle, a hookah in the middle......and put this album on with the speakers positioned up high in the corners of the ceiling.....and took a very mellow, floating trip....

You are the tops in reactions - Rock on man !

Epitome of greatness

never get in a hurry with the Floyd. Trust me they will get there when it's time. Floyd is music isn't something you just hear as you are running around. people need to SIT and LISTEN to them.

Lmao.."damn my ears just got violated"....extreme brilliance that is Floyd

Watching you experience all these great songs for the first time makes me relive my experience with them years ago! Would love to hang with you and just listen to music - what a way for us all to connect with one another!

check out the song "Dogs", off the "Animals" album, very good stuff.. Kickass video dude, Glad to see the younger crowd enjoying Pink Floyd.

This and Time and most tracks from Animals are my favorites to watch others reacting to, glad you did this! Playing to the ghosts of Pompeii, the quietest live concert. Edit: yours is one of the best and most energetic reactions I've seen to this amazing piece, thank you!

I used the album version of this song to fall asleep by for years its so smooth and hypnotic!

The best rock song over 20 minutes long. Absolutely a Floyd masterpiece.

Dave came back to the amphitheater in 2016 without any original members. First time an audience was allow inside since 79 A.D. Some solo & some Floyd recommend the whole dvd but " on any tongue" " sorrow"!!!!!! . "comfortably numb "on pulse 1994 & "run like hell "( better were a seat belt ) 200,00 watts of power on a 200 ton stage , 128 speakers.

Thanks for your reaction it's very real! SALUDOS

I’m still new to your channel... making my way through all your vids. I was going to recommend this. Best new (to me) reactor I’ve seen in a long time. Don’t ever stop! 😗

It’s coming! Gilmour is bringin your 🎸🔥💯🖤

This is the way to react to this masterpiece.

So awesome! Love Floyd!

Great reaction jay, made me laugh

Pink Floyd are Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Wagner of Music Modern Era

That " break " when its kicks in midway through is " Floyd " meeting " Funkadelic ". Total fire.

They have always had their own planet

Three words..: Epic.

Great reaction Jay. Lovin' the energy you put into these reactions.

OMG I never stop playing this song since years ago I hope you enjoying it, see you react to High Hopes live PULSE concert 1994 😁 You can see the great gig in the sky live same concert PULSE and see the amazing girls 👍🏼

Great to see you young guys discovering and getting into all the music we grew up on.enjoy and keep it going.

Nick Mason is a very underrated drummer

Great reaction. Check out all the songs from Live at Pompeii - they're all amazing. But especially Saucerful of Secrets! Out of this world.

Nick Mason is the star in this one.🤩

This song synced up to Jupiter in the movie 2010 is a cool experience.

I went to an all hip hop head school and got made fun of so hard for listening to this. People I was around wouldn’t get past the first minute and a half. It’s so awesome watching you discover this and love it. Immediate subscriber my guy.

Video from 1972 pink floyd wee ahead of their time, only saw them once in concert, spectacular show

You're into the good stuff now my man!

In my meager opinion, this is the best Pink Floyd song ever made! Definitely a classic among classics! I was waiting to see your reaction to that time change and transition to that funky ass jam in the second section! I knew it would melt your fucking face!! Also, I would love to see a reaction to the UK Metal band, Conjurer. Thankless and Hollow are great tracks to start with..🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I'm just here for the inevitable comment "I'm not gay but ...a young David Gilmour..." I bet I find one.

Legends 👍

Try the original version from the album Meddle. A better live version is from the concert in Gdansk in 2006. Both have the call and response ending between guitar and keyboards that is not a feature of the Pompeii version.

This is real music....

David Gilmour's guitaring & Roger Waters bass-lines, are really awesome on this song!!

Love listening to first timers on Pink Floyd. I raped my dad’s records as a kid. Full volume headphones. They don’t make em like this anymore. Creativity is a production and individuality is a sin. They have to be one of the most cohesively creative bands of all time. The synchronicity is all but perfection.

Music for the Gods if there is one

The stuff of legend

A live concert for the crew only. so iconic

DAVID GILMOUR THE TIMELORD OF THE LEAD GUITAR 🎸..PINK FLOYD WILL TAKE YOU TO A DIFFERENT WORLD 🌎 and across the STARS 🌟...no1

Your ears just got violated by greatness!

Epic

I would love to have you visit. Build a big fire in the fire pit, drink coldies, grill steaks and chicken, and listen to old tunes!!

Am enjoying your Pink Floyd reactions , you should look at echoes David Gilmour live at Gdańsk !

Totally far out reaction bro!

This is one of the 1st Floyd songs that is listenable to me, before this is was just to chaotic for me.

Pretty fuck'n cool song man

It's like they play chicken on who's gonna finish....

Please react to Pink Floyd: High Hopes Pigs (three different ones) Dogs

Bless you, my son.

Good choice

Nice
