Watching a bright young man reacting to an amazing piece of music which i have enjoyed for years ( i am 68 ) and seeing you getting into it and savoring every note, and obviously appreciating it at some deep level, for some reason lifts up my spirit. Thank you man for this!

“There’s nothing being said, but you can understand it. It’s still speaking to you”. You just perfectly explained Pink Floyd!

This is an absolute masterpiece. Floyd is not a band they are an experience. Enjoy your floydgasm.

Nick Mason (the drummer) just played this song again in Pompeii a couple months ago with his band, now age 79. OMG.

Pink Floyd requires patience. They take their time in developing their lyrical and musical ideas. It's all worth it.

Now go listen to echoes live from Gdansk. Mind blowing 40 years later.

No-one knows how to take their time like Pink Floyd, they take you on a journey and bring you safely back home with a soft landing. Pure magic!

Pompeii, Italy, 1971. The guys were in their 20's. I never get tired of this performance. I was so lucky to have been at the right time and place for the best music, imo.

It sounds like a Masterpiece because it is...this quad...they are cold stone genius killers....

Hello MollyBoyTV, You were wondering how they managed to produce such sounds, here's a clue: While playing around with his keyboards, Rick decided to amplify them through a Leslie rotating speaker. One particular note stood out very clearly. Dave called it "a strange resonance... kind of a feedback thing... Ping! A complete accident. We said 'That's great!' and we used it as the start of the piece."

Echoes is definitely a masterpiece. Although I love all versions of it I think I like the studio version best. No matter how many times I hear this song I feel the anticipation and suspense. I love how it picks you up and eases you into a wild ride, full of ups and downs and all arounds, and then sets you gently back down at the end. I'm very much enjoying your reactions. 💗🤘🏼

Listen to Shine on you crazy diamond next. That song is truly a masterpiece 💎

So glad to see someone so young ...to me anyway ! (I'm 62 ! ) has fallen down the rabbit hole of Pink Floyd !! Enjoy it young man ! Nothing like this is out there today !

You really need to listen to the entire Dark side of the moon because it's basically one song! Each song just rolls onto the next song. No stopping and starting. This album was on the charts for over 200( not sure the exact number) but it's still selling. Amazing album!❤️

Two or three centuries from now, if humans are not extinct, I believe Pink Floyd’s Echoes will be be considered in the same class as the composers and musicians in the Classical group. I think there will be other artists and musical pieces but Echoes will hold a special place.

Pinkfloyd, in my opinion, is the greatest band ever, I have had the absolutely amazing pleasure of seeing them live twice, amazing ❤

My 19 year old brain was literally blown away back then. It still is to this day. All I can say is thank you Pink Floyd!

Great video bro. Your initiation to Pink Floyd is complete. Your life will never be the same. I listen to them every day and have loved them for decades. Brilliant, brilliant musicians.

Echoes live at Pompeii was filmed in 1971. 3 of the 4 guys performing in Pompeii went on to perform 23 years later in 1994 at the Pulse Concert at Earls Court, London.

There is music.. and then there is Pink Floyd!

Sitting on a beach fishing by a campfire while enjoying Mary Jane and Jim Beam in far North Queensland Australia 40 years ago listening to Pink Floyd for the first time. Was one of my fav moments in life.

There are 2 drummers in the Pulse Concert. The older drummer (wearing a long-sleeved white shirt) is Nick Mason. Nick is the drummer in Pompeii. Richard Wright is T he keyboardist in Pompeii. He is the older of the 2 keyboardists at Pulse. David Gilmour is the Pompeii guitarist, and he is the lead guitarist and vocalist at Pulse.

A good pink floyd album to react to first is dark side of the moon. Their masterpiece

Amazing how many epic level musicians came out of the U.K.

You have a lot to look forward to young man keep reacting to pink floyd

You win the prize!!!!when you said its a masterpiece you lnow your brain is getting in tune to pink!!!!!

Pink Floyd has never been so much a song, as a journey.

Great you reacted to that version. But there is one version that is superior to all. It was performed by Gilmour in Gdansk in 2006. It was the last time performed then because Wright died some time after that concert in 2006. And I think most people that experienced that Echoes version understand why Gilmour said that he can't perform Echoes withput Wright. Enjoy the Pink Floyd experience and have fun!

Well for us old dudes who have been Floydians for over 50 yrs, it’s magic to see young people reacting to genius 👍

that first solo Gilmour played was God tier. he was the all time great for tempo and making you FEEL.

A buddy of ours has this dvd, along with Pulse. They have a home theater with awesome sound system and large screen. It’s like you are there.

first heard pink floyd at 10 ten years old 43 years later still love their music that's says it all doesn't it

The band it's just fantastic!

This used to play at midnight shows in the United States throughout the 1970s. It's how a lot of us got to see what they looked like for the first time. I think you're ready for "Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-5" next. studio version. Another masterpiece. You're definitely starting to get it now. This goes Way beyond traditional pop music. Pink Floyd are in a class and genre all their own. 👍

Nice reaction! I love PF - great great musicians. and I love to see someone discover their universe. You tried some Pulse pieces but I think Another brick in the wall and Money could be something for you.

Pink Floyd was like nothing before or since. A total mind trip of a wonderful journey. While I don't condone the use of drugs I'll just say during the 70's LSD was popular and totally changed the journey they took you on. ✌

Do yourself a Big favor and also watch the live version in Danske Poland! It is the last time this song was ever played with keyboardist Richard Wright who passed away from cancer not too long after! Excellent version also!

I watched this when i was tripping over my own shoes. This would have been amazing to listen too live. Beautiful

Awesome, a kid like you knows a classic. One of the most beautiful songs ever. Kudos

just imagine .. tripping .. pink floyd was our drug of choice

You should also watch David Gilmour doing this live at Gdansk, with Richard Wright. They are the only two of the four at the performance, but the most important two from this particular track. And it features members of Pink Floyd's touring band in later years so it can be rightfully called Pink Floyd. There are three versions of this song that are equally epic for slightly different reasons. The studio version, this one, and David Gilmour live shortly before Richard Wright's passing. I actually like the latter the most because David and Richard had such perfect interplay between them in those last few minutes. David always called this song a "conversation between him and Richard" (yes with Roger's lyrics of course, and Nick's drumming is stunning in these early versions). But after that Gdansk performance, and Richard's passing, he retired this from ever performing it again.

They Play for the Ghosts and the Gods here.....Perfection

This is one of my favorite as well. True masterpieces like this can only be born from the love of the craft.

To think, I was 11 when these geniuses were doing this! It makes me feel so small, like they say you feel when you see the Grand Canyon. Makes you wonder what Beethoven or Mozart would say? Or the ancient people who filled that theater? Just the idea is genius, and I can't believe all the massive equipment!!! Timeless, who can touch it even after all these decades? What minds, how much work and sweat to achieve perfection in all they have done!!! They take us outside the elementary things, into the universe and inside ourselves. It was great watching your reaction and thanks for doing this! 5/29/24

I watched this aged 23 in a cinema in London large screen, not long after it's release, a memorable occasion. All power to you for exploring this epic music.

The " ANIMALS " album will blow your mind .

Imagine being a 61 year old fart like me and hearing this kinda stuff ya whole life. Now try to imagine being a prog-rock drummer from the age of 12 and actually playing this sort of stuff for over 45 years and that's my life. So it gives me hope for the future when I see a young chap like your good self appreciating great music. Every time you listen to prog-rock your IQ goes up a few points.✌❤🇬🇧

Thats where its at, doesnt get better☀️

This is one of my favorites. And you're right. It is a masterpiece. Pink Floyd has many. One of the three greatest bands ever.

this song is an adventure, one of my friends showed me this dvd at that time, it changed my life lol.

Im patiently waiting to watch you react to "Shine on You Crazy Diamond " written for their former bandmate Syd Barrett. Truly another masterpiece and one that all us old Floydians love watching you youngsters react to! Guitar god David Gilmour will leave you with mouth wide open as he always does! I think you're ready for it now that you have seen the insane talent these guys had!

Another great reaction ma!, Actually this Pompeii Concert was in 1972, the song is on their 1971 album "Meddle". I think "Echoes" takes up all of side 2 of the album. Ok the band members here in 1972 are the 4 guys who really made Pink Floyd into one of the Greatest Rock Bands in history! These 4 guys made up Pink Floyd from 1968 to 1985,... Dave Gilmour, joined the band in 1968, (guitar, vocals),... Roger Waters, co- founder of Floyd in 1964, (bass),... Rick Wright, co-founder, 1964, (keyboards, vocals),... and Nick Mason, co-founder, 1964, (drums). Roger Waters, one of the driving forces of PF, quit the band in 1985, the remaining 3 Pink Floyd members continued on as Pink Floyd until Rick Wrights death in 2008. So from 1985 till 2008 there were only 3 members of the band. The other singers and musicians you see onstage like at the 1994 Pulse Concert, (part of "The Division Bell" World Tour), are Pink Floyds touring band for that tour. It was a massive tour, 112 performances in 68 cities, in 17 countries! It was the largest tour of its kind, at the time. "Echoes" was a special song for Gilmour and Wright as they always shared the harmonized vocals, but sometimes they would switch off who was singing the higher part and the lower part of the harmonization. In 2006 they performed both parts of "Echoes" at a concert in Gdansk Poland, I believe it was their last performance of the song, as Rick Wright died two years later from cancer. Gilmour had said at the time that, without Rick, 'He would never play the song again',... Here's a link to that Gdansk "Echoes" performance, in 2006 Gilmour was 60 years old and Wright 62. Nick Mason didn't make the tour, so they had a stand in drummer they had used in the past. So there is only Gilmour and Wright from Pink Floyd. Check it out it's an historic version of this Masterpiece! .... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7OemKaanqzDhYU.html

You need to buy the movie “Pink Floyd At Pompeii”, it’s a serious mind fuck. If you know the story about Pompeii the movie is full of scenery from the ancient city that’s eerie, scary, and beautiful. The amphitheater that concert was performed in was built in the 70 AD and was able to hold 20,000. Despite it’s age, the ancient Romans obviously knew how to design a theatre so the acoustics were great, because the band said they couldn’t believe how excellent the sound was.

CAN YOU JUST TRY AND IMAGINE THE WORK THAT WENT INTO MAKING THAT. ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED NEED AWARDS

Much appreciation for reacting to a full version. The ending conversation between guitar and keys is awesome, I'm glsd you appreciated it too. I still love studio version more, but it's a very complicated song, and seeing it's played with just 4 musicians is something special. I'm 31 now, and I've heard it for the first time sround your age (I guess). Since that, I'm used to listen to it almost everyday, it's my morning routine song, so I've listened to it for several thousands of times and I can't stop 😂

Love your reaction to this Masterpiece🎸🔥!!!

Complete MASTERPIECE bro 💫❤️☝️

I love technical guitarists but Gilmour just picks the right notes every time. His solos are always perfect without all the fast playing . However, in this song he shows he can be quite technical on the guitar. He just makes every note count.

I agree a total masterpiece!! This takes you on a psychafelic mind trip. Thank you for this experience Pink Floyd!! Another excellent piece!!

This performance, is for the camera crew, for the documentary released, for the dead Romans even. It’s not they are paid to play for a massive audience, here. These are four talented British musicians, in groove, working out their parts -music, their best.

Pink floyd knows how to build anticipation

What do you mean back in the day😂😂😂 Today TOO!!

I recommended this song to you. Im 65 years old and yes this is a masterpiece. If you want to hear a present day masterpiece listen to Ren's "Hi Ren" and" Money Game 3" He lived in Brighton where David Gilmore also lived. I think Ren is the same mind as Floyd, very deep on life. His new album"Sick Boi" just hit No 1 on the UK charts today and he is a In dependent artist suffering with Lyme disease. What an achievement!!!

DOGS and ECHOES are the 2 greatest song of Pink Floyd 10/10

Same white haired man later Pure born Talent!!!!

Another one to watch is David Gilmour, Echoes live at Gdansk, Poland, 2006. This is the last time David (guitar, vocals) performed this song, before Rick (keyboards, vocals) sadly passed away in 2008. It's not one to be missed. btw, many reactors have done the album Dark Side of the Moon in two parts, side 1 and 2. Hope you do it.

First band I saw live, simply awesome

Great reaction my boy!! This has LONG been my #1 Pink Floyd song, and one of my top versions as well - that raw sound & acoustics in the Pompeii amphitheatre is/was incredible! (Other favourite version is David Gilmour Live In Gdansk - it was the last performance of the song before Rick Wright's passing (keyboardist of this epic masterpiece), and thus it was the last time Dave has performed it since!) Masterpiece doesn't do this song justice, but it's the word we have! HIGHLY suggest Dogs, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all parts), Welcome To The Machine, and pretty much ALL of Dark Side Of The Moon. Can't go wrong with Floyd!! Cheers!

Oh lol this premiered on my birthday last year! Ok so this is the Floyd I love . . . pure genius and you're correct it's EPIC. I hear some great new music now but not the mainstream shite and that includes Hip Hop and Ryming but musically these guys in this lineup were truly revolutionary. Yes agree the instruments become poetry in themselves. This encapsulates the whole universe

I was listening to this Album while I was cooking…made it to this one and all cats got up looking towards our player. The baby at that time sat directly in front of it looking up at it. Her joy was ruined when another (completely based off of assumption AND actions) said “Haaa! Finally! Bath time!”. She tried to fight her way out but then caved and fell back asleep. I’m just saying this to say that even cats know good music. 😂 I hope everyone has a great Sunday and rest of your week. -Amber

You're digging deep into the Pink Floyd well : ) I enjoy watching you hear this for your first time.

Masterpiece INDEED! 🔥 By far my favorite performances! That says a lot being I’m a die hard PF fan… Sold💯! “Time” Never turned back & learned owned every PF out there. They play on Every Playlist daily. They own one of the largest parts of my library! 🔥🔥🔥🎸

Music hasn't changed since this because there never was anything like Pink Floyd back then or since then.

This is such a great version and since you liked it, treat yourself to the Meddle version. I really like the way Gilmour and Wright play off of each other, a call and response with each other, at the end. The differences in each version are just wonderful. Like listening to your favorite song performed hundreds of different ways. Enjoy!

I like that your reaction is genuine. Got to have soul to get the soul.

Saw this masterpiece at a drive-in back in the '70s...through steamed up windows.

Back in the day? I'm getting stoned to it right now, but back then also. Continue your exploration of 70's music, we had it right way back when.

Thanks for your vidéo, I really apreciate this "musical expérience" ❤ From France

Look it will take you many many times to soak it all in or catch everything in one listen .. I’ve listened for like 40 years and still learn and it’s just wonderful Don’t apologize for pausing and questioning or thinking my friend Do you.. your way ❤

In 1968 I discovered Pink Floyd at 5 years old and haven't looked back. They have always been my favorite band overall. It warms my soul to see a young man as yourself enjoying the songs of old from another time. Welcome to Pink Floyd. This performance was part of a film / movie created in 1972. Two other albums were also produced while at Pompeii.

i love your reactions. The way you glimpse at the camera it feels as if you're a mate sharing some great music.

They have several tracks that are considered masterpieces. My suggestion for your next Pink Floyd experience would be Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

Pink Floyd live in Pompeii was made as a feature film to be shown in cinemas to reach a winder audience. Anyone could go to their local cinema and for the price of a cinema ticket got to see a Pink Floyd concert. I saw it when it came out at my local Odeon.

Yeah, go ahead and do full Pink Floyd albums!

You are so correct this is a masterpiece , it's so good bro !!!

Pink Floyd’s slow intros are like foreplay. Then more and more intense until…..eargasm!! 💋

You're absolutely right, it was good that!

I'm 60 years old and I'll suggest that one can appreciate Pink Floyd without weed, but one cannot appreciate weed without Pink Floyd. 😎

Another recommendation from this Concert could be Careful with that axe Eugene although the hole setlist is a joy

Well done. Again. Keep going. You are still just beginning the wonderful journey...and that's just pink floyd haha....the animals album....omg ❤🎉

Hallo lad. Welcome to the music we grew up with. They were innovative, talented not to mention the lyrics. You have so many bands to listen to. As i said, welcome and enjoy. Dave south africa.

It warms my heart to see young people discover this brilliance!!❤❤❤ Means you are a free thinker ( my opinion) lol Keep going on that journey I promise it will bring you enlightenment ❤

1971 ! i was 9 years old LOL, this ones classic early floyd, nice pick!

Beard guy is Richard, smooth is David

You showed a lot of respect for these four musicians. It is a MASTERPIECE - one of the greatest works of this millennia and the last millennia. On par with Bach Toccata and fugue in d minor - another piece of music that will send you off this planet it's so good! Both very different granted.

I like to see a young boy as you listening to this music enjoing it (I was 16 at that time)!!!!The world it's not over....

I saw this in a theater when it was released. BTW, KZfaq, Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Fanfare For The Common Man (Live at Olympic Stadium, Montreal, 1977, the long version. ) Cold empty stadium, worth a look.

Enjoying your reactions, subbed

🐖🐖🐖 Lucky enough to see them live, amazing show

Pink Floyd has many masterpieces. You should do "shine on you crazy diamond." Recorded version. And WHEN YOU GETTIN' PINK FLOYD BLING? It's incoming.
