It happens accidently. The director lost the film cartridge spools with the performances of the other members in 1971/1972. He just saved the Nick Mason film cartridge spools....
You obviously like him but please thats a big over the top. The problem with Mason is that he mainly played on the beat, very rarely looking for those off beat accents to just jazz and swing things up a bit.
top 5. that clearly all you can name. He would not be on many lists if they existed. He was a tasteful team player with average skills for the time. top 5 lllllooooolllll just stupid
Nick might be the best pocket drummer that has ever lived. His phrasing is unparalleled and his dynamics have always been exactly what a song needs. He is truly a living legend.
+Johnny Ford A musician who truly understood the purpose of serving the song. Honestly all of Floyd were masterful at it. It's the reason why they're so damn powerful.
In 1969 I was in my first year of college when I heard the blasting scream of "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" coming from down the hall of my dorm. I've been hooked on Pink Floyd from that moment on! Thanks for the memory!
Back in the 60's, and 70's - there was no youtube, no internet, no DVDs, no MTV and no hint how important the recording and creation of these videos would eventually be. Sure PF was big and important, but it's not like these were played regularly on television.. We are so blessed that they were made...
The world media belongs to the Beatles owners. And the Beatles only became something after they stealing PF's ideas and creations and were totally influenced by PF. They managed to hide until today. If there was no internet, the people would not have access to any of this. So the world media boycott the PF until today.
Epic song and epic drum performance by Nick Mason - especially at 05:00 when his stick breaks and he scrambles to get a new one. Just out of this world.
No, he didn't "scramble". Shit happens; broke or lost stick, he just moved on. Many a guitarist can adapt for a bit with a broken string, too. Experience. Professionalism.
You know you're beating the sh*t out of the drums when the stick flies out of your hand! You know you're a master when you reach for a replacement without losing the beat! Brilliant 👏
for those of you who don't know the reason that the camera is on Nick for most of this song is because out there filming when they got back to do editing they realized that some of the footage had gone missing. all they really had for this song was Nick playing the drums and not much else. so that's what they showed with some lava flows in other footage of Pompeii and things like that
echoes is my favorite song of all time, hands down. people say darkside was their first truly great work. i disagree. i think it was meddle because of this song and echoes.
Kevin, I would actually go back a bit further to "alan's psychedelic breakfast" , however, I agree that One of and Echoes are two on my most favorite pieces of music ever .......
When you listen to them back to back - you can spot the similarities between Echoes and Darkside. Infact,, I think, Echoes may have been the Demo for Darkside (for want of a better word). After Echoes, they certainly knew the musical direction they were heading towards.
According to Nick Mason's book Inside Out, a reel of film shot of this song went missing, so the director and editor had to improvise with what they had.
i dedicate this theme to a very good girl friend of mine from my childhood.Sara,hope you like it,because its one of my favourite Pink Floyd themes and i know you enjoy their work too.Pink Floyd songs are the soundtrack to our childhood,remember? (thank you,too,for sharing this video,Bruno Calderon)
