Pink Floyd - Echoes Pompeii pt1 (REACTION) 

And people never give Nick Mason the recognition he deserves on drums, he can be a beast

Nick Mason's drumming is outstanding!

Gilmore screaming to the ghost of Pompeii with his guitar, Epic!!!

As someone commented before, playing in an empty stadium for a future audience.

My favorite live performance of theirs. Hoping for part 2 and/or “Careful With that Axe Eugene” from the same show! 🔥🔥✌️

This is hands down my favourite Pink Floyd recording. I've repeatedly gone back to it for the last 35 years, and it never gets old for me. I used to have it on VHS tape, but I literally wore the tape out! I really enjoyed seeing your reaction to it. :-)

“David Gilmour is such a good guitarist” ahem, Gilmour is the greatest of all time. Nobody and I mean NOBODY can tell a story like he does on the guitar

I was 23 years old 48 years ago when this came out.... Still one of the great riffs

Can't believe y'all didn't comment on sexy shirtless Dave Gilmour

You guys got me watching the entire concert at Pompeii and I'm ok with that :)

Years later, David Gilmour recorded another concert at Pompeii. After Pink Floyd's final break up, RIchard Wright continued to perform and tour with David's solo band. You'll notice (especially in part II) a direct interplay, sort of a conversation, between guitar and keyboards. But after Richard passed away, David vowed to never perform Echos again, since that "conversation" was so personal, so the last recorded performance was at the "Live at Gdansk" concert video. So in the later DG concert, live at Pompeii, Echos was noticeably missing.

My favorite version of Echoes. And maybe my favorite Pink Floyd song of all time.

There is Pink Floyd then everyone else

One of the greatest bits of music created

'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun', Live at Pompeii is ultra atmospheric.

They recorded a whole concert here, not just echoes. It is fucking fantastic start to finish. They split echoes into two parts, so you may want to find part two to react to. Roger did get his jab at Andrew Lloyd Webber, though. Listen to his song It’s A Miracle from his album Amused To Death, and you will see what I mean.

She still needs to hear "Coming Back To Life".

Another song from "live at Pompeii" that you might like to try is "Set the controls for the heart of the sun".

DUDE!! You gotta listen to Pink Floyd One Of These Days live from Pompeii. Great for all Drummer fans. Nick Mason kicks the songs ass!!

the way this song goes from so smooth and almost relaxed to an almost haunted sound... just even Gilmour's guitar goes from so clean to so screaming.... feels like as they are playing the literal atmosphere/history of *that space* and what happened there like takes them over... and takes over the music. i mean, how *could* you be as in tune to everything as Pink Floyd were and *not* have the haunting history of that place influence you as you express the music as purely as they did?

This was the track where they found their voice. Btw, Us and Them by PF will have Sistah break down.

Dude so stoked you guys did this song and especially this version!

*gasps*! Haven't even played the reaction yet....dinner with the hubby 1st. I can not wait to plug in my headphones and see this! Epic? I think so....they have so many beautiful songs, my favorite band of all time. Now I have to hurry and have dinner so I can boogie with yall ♡♡♡♡♡

that wicked bassline from Waters,out through my massive Mission floorstanders,it pounded me in the chest,love it.

David Gilmour pokes fun at Andrew Lloyd Webber in an interview & said “Let’s call it sub conscious plagerism “ than was asked if PF got paid for it & Gilmoir replied “You’ll have to ask my lawyer” 😂 Oh btw...”No one flies around sun “

The Beatles: hey wouldn’t be cool to give a concert on a roof? Pink Floyd: let play in an old coliseum, on thousand of ancient Roman souls.

Sista! You are hilarious! What a great song and hypnotic!

Wolf, David Gilmour came back to the Coliseum in Pompeii back in 2016 for a full concert stop.

One of the few 'I wish i would have been there' moments, in that ancient amphitheater when this was being recorded. Before they exploded with DSOTM . Pure Floyd.

OH MY GOD.Never saw that coming.This was the song i started to fall in love with pink floyd back in high school.Also the song i listened first time i got high on weed lol.It was the best trip ever...

Greatest. Band. EVER.

This is really the only decent live footage from this period of their careers, just before DSOTM hits....really gives you a sense of how great they were before that landmark album. Part II of this song was hindered by technical difficulties and much of the footage was taken from a studio performance and superimposed over the original audio.

I never get tired of this, power, youth and control.

So good!

You would not believe me if I told you how many times I've watched the Live at Pompeii dvd, I probably have the world record, which is in no way healthy, but I just love it so much. Pink Floyd is an addiction to me.

when they were done recording they left the equipment there. when david gilmore went back in 2016 he had the same equipment repaired and used it,

Best Reactions channel! Love Pink Floyd and I think Sistah would love High Hopes :D

Gotta be my favourite Floyd recording, maybe because I have recently come across it. But damn this song makes you float away.

You have to do Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond pt. 1 or 2" next. Also, the group Rodrigo Y Gabriela did an amazing cover of Echoes for their newly released album that you should check out as well. Interesting to hear this master piece played by a Mexican guitar duo on classical nylon string guitars. Brought tears to my eyes seeing them play it live.

One of the best « songs » ever written and played. My favorite from the Floyd. This bass, organ and guitar will always kill me.

Next one Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond

When i was in high school there was a theater that would run midnight shows...rock n roll related movies. went and saw this movie. mind BLOWN

You gotta do part 2 now. Also there is a vid out there of the last time David Gilmour and Richard Wright performed echoes together before Richard passed. It is really good but sad, too. Thanks for doing this.

They were walking across many areas (and just as many phenomenons of volcanism) around Vesuvio, one of still active volcanos in Italy, which stands near Napoli (you called it Naples).

A four-piece playing live in a ruined Roman amphitheatre in 1971. And making THAT sound! 50 years later, I still can't process it. Long after we are gone, unlike Mozart, this will still be a source of mystery not mimicry.

Damn that’s awesome. My favourite song by them. Especially this version.

You should check out a saucerful of secrets from live at Pompeii

In agreeing to do the Live At Pompeii movie, Pink Floyd made the director/producer contractually agree that they would NOT overdub the live music scenes with studio music. What you see of the band's performance exactly conforms to what you hear of the band's performance because it IS the band's performance.

Great song. Love me some PINK FLOYD. rock on 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Some say we had the best music in the 70's. They are correct. But, this kind of music lives forever and is still revered and enjoyed by all ages. I am glad to see reaction videos for this reason. It gives rebirth to songs so that new generations can hear and enjoy them and continue to pass them down throughout time. Epic.

My favorite song to watch people react too, as soon as that funk hits you there is no going back

Great upload guys, the best version of this song. Side note: people bag on Waters because he's not Jaco or whoever, but I love Roger's bass playing to death.

The one with the beard was Rick Wright.

I saw this concert in the cinema in 1974. It was insane...

Shine on you crazy diamond.

A classic. I grew up with that ❤️

FINALLY SOMEONE REACTS TO THIS VIDEO!! BEST SOLO EVER HERE

Pure brilliance have a band you might like from the 60's 70's for you. 60 year old scotsman here grew up with The Sensational Alex Harvey Band give them a go Faith Healer or Tomahawk Kid my favs to this day. Hope you like cheers

You should check out the live version of Echoes in the 2006 David Gilmour gig Remember That Night. Truly mind blowing, great to see them do it after so long.

there are 4 genius together .... one of my favorite song.... gretting for france

imagine if they hadn't lost four reels of tape on the way home, this would be the greatest live vid of all time, ahhhhhh

These guys were reading classic literature and mythology and then creating the soundtrack to them while inserting their commentary.

Us and them/ any color you like/ brain damage and eclipse live PLEASE!

This has to be the best live gig of all times: present, past and future. A masterpiece ❤💝💖💗💞

Pink Floyd RULED the entire seventy's! Thanks you two 😎! WAY Ahead of their time! I totally enjoyed this. Thank you😎😎😎😉

It makes me laugh. I have only watched a few of your videos, mostly the Pink Floyd ones but each time I watch I feel like i'm sitting in a lounge with you two opposite just chilling to the music. It amuses me. Makes it fun. Good company! I enlarge the screen on my iMac and it really is like you're right in front! Great reaction to an outstanding performance.

This is the first reaction I’ve ever watched from you guy and I loved it! You guys are awesome and gained a new fan. I’ve also seen a few more reactions and I’m them I seen your reaction to deep purple child in time and I loved it but may I suggest you listen to the live version I honestly believe with all my heart you guys will enjoy it more. Oh and please give us the second part 2 echoes because it’s a beautiful song and it’s a must listen to song well all of there songs in their entirety please

Echoes is my most favorite song of Pink Floyd. David Gilmour, in 2016, did a 'live at Pompeii' concert. You have to see that too.

Regarding Cinematography; Each shot is allowed it’s time. There is no rush. We watch Dave for a while, then Rick for a while, then we slowly Pan from left to right, etc. No need for 4 edits per second. I find this so soothing. I’m curious if I’m alone in thinking this, and if anyone thinks we’ll ever see a revival of this style. This applies to nearly all concert movies up to the early 80s. Woodstock, Last Waltz, Queen in Montreal are examples. By the time I was a young teenager in the 90s, the “quick edit” style was already in full motion. To me, that style was the norm. The first concert movie I saw without those fast edits made a strong impression. To me it felt new and refreshing.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond is really good, and what I feel is the next logical step. There's a version here on RU-vid with all 9 parts together instead of split like they are on the album.

Floyd in studio Live has its aspects, but their studio work is flawless.

I would love to see you guys make video on "On the turning away", one of the top songs from Floyd , preferably live version. I know your girl wont regret it, I never see more honest and true reaction, that one will strike deep for sure. Cheers

This is the developmental stages of UK music at its' pinnacle signalling to USA music at its heart that "we hear you and are here with you".

please continue pink floyd reaction videos!!! I love them!!! May I suggest Shine on you crazy diamond?

Can’t wait for you guys to get the Led out. Half-life sista is gonna love those guys. There are so many songs to choose from.

Echoes was actually made by Floyd many years (comp. 71) before Phantom at the Opera (comp.85) !! - so Andrew Lloyd was shopping at Pink Floyd !!

no one speaks guitar or make one talk like Mr David gilmour

i think you should see the last verson of this, before Richard Wrigth (keybord) passed away, it is the last time they played it together. David said it will never be played again. "Echoes LIve in Gedansk. RIP

Would like to see some more of your reactions guys to some other Pink Floyd rock gems. Echoes Part 2 is also as good as part 1, it starts with sounds that are hard to describe but I would say its from another space and time perhaps ?? Hope you do Part 2 if you haven't done so already

Electic light orchestra would be nice to see them react to

I highly recommend The Musical Box by Genesis you guys would love it!

So that was correct that roger didn't sue Andrew Lloyd Webber nor any other Pink Floyd band members, however on Amused to Death Album (A must for Reaction) Roger did wrote the lyrics on a song called Miracle referencing Andrew Lloyd Webber in his own know way: It's a miracle We cower in our shelters With our hands over our ears Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff Runs for years and years and years An earthquake hits the theater But the operetta lingers Then the piano lid comes down And breaks his fucking fingers It's a miracle

This album especially this song is when Pink Floyd became the Pink Floyd of today this was magical for its time and for all time it just goes to show how good these guys are and if you ever had any doubts about Dave Mason this will erase them quick he’s phenomenal here along with the rest of the band what a blending of voices what a beautiful coordinatedwork of Art

8:16 Floyd Funk ❤️

They were not ahead of their time, they are the definition of their time.

It is absolutely necessary to put everything back in its time. It is absolutely necessary to listen to this recording in its absolute context!. . . . What was it?. . . . . We were emerging from a frenzy that the Beatles had generated only ten years ago. What are we talking about? Commercial melodies, without pretension, but which opened the floodgates to the concept of a group. . . Above all, for having personally experienced it, this fashion which relegated Elvis to the background, i. e. THE LONG HAIR! The Beatles, in my opinion, will go down in history as the ones who finished breaking the wall that Elvis had started to blow up. Then comes, during these years, Pink Floyd. . . They are really the ones who blew up the glass ceiling. . . With them, it became. . . Universe is no limit. . . But not only their universe, but of all those who will be able to follow (Genesis, the Who, Metallica etc. )

Love it! You guys are definitely something special.

Greatest live performance of PF imo! Sistah so sensitive, sweet, stylish and se..

That guitar speaks to your soul and takes you to a different dimension. Any time I have Pink Floyd on my headphones I inevitably burst into tears

Watching you two react to great music is a lot of fun! Good job.

Pink Floyd juuuuuust before they broke through in the States (and worldwide) big time with their ''Dark Side Of The Moon" Album. Before DSOTM they sold VERY little Albums here, and got virtually no radio airplay at all that I recall. They were known, yes, a little bit...very little known stateside when they filmed this, nevertheless this is classic stuff and truly legendary.

Boy, she really gets it!

Love your reaction. That's exactly it. Amazing.

try sorrow, or marooned from Pink Floyd or Shine on you Crazy Dimond part 1-5.

SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND ! PINK FLOYD'S "make a brother cry" song. lol enjoy

In Water’s song It’s a Miracle off Amused to Death he has a great line about “the piano cover falling and breaking Andrew Lloyd Weber’s fucking fingers.”

You didn't do the second half of the song (part 2).

It was and is a movie to be seen in cinema back then.. PF in studio , and relaxing in the canteen is pretty funny, I wish I could find a cinema showing it today,

Pink Floyd are simply The Lords of Rings

I actually found this song through being a huge fan of Phantom, after seeing Gerard Butler in the role.. I researched so much about it and then came across something about Pink Floyd and Echoes, found this song and fell in love with it and the band.
