I agree. Unfortunately, Roger Waters thought Rick Wright was a throwaway keyboardist. This was the beginning of the end for him as the head of the band.
@@seamusmaher3600 at the same time, he probably would have been a ”throwaway“ keyboardist if not for Roger Waters and the rest of the band. It is all history now anyway and we have to appreciate the perfect storm that made them what they were. Together Pink Floyd really were greater than the sum of its parts.
@@baardeven1 That's just an absurd statement. Rick Wright is a classically trained pianist. His talent is anything but 'throwaway.' The simple fact is that Roger has an overinflated ego that led him to believe that Pink Floyd's success was entirely his own doing. It's just as likely that Roger would be a failed poet without the melodic interplay between Rick and David. Did Roger write either of their contributions to the band. No. Hell, Rick is the one who arranged their first recording. So his role in the creation of Pink Floyd, as we know it, is objectively immeasurable.
It is simply amazing to hear a vibrating string and INSTANTANEOUSLY place exactly where it belongs in the timeline of history. Than you for fine "string" playing and a reminder of how special music can be
@@NicolaMenel And to imagine Clare Torry improvised the vocals in a single take (they did two takes but decided to use the first one) is just mind blowing. Everything about the track is unreal, as if it was fated to be.
Love this ❤️ Wish it was in two different angles so I could focus on the exact keys. Maybe from above?... Idunno, just wish I could play that song just like this.
I'm sure I can't be the only one that watching this at the correct point said, "I'm not frightened of dying you know, any time will do I don't mind." (and so on...)
And I am not frightened of dying, anytime will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it! You've gotta go sometime.....
