I really can’t think of one flawed Pink Floyd album...They’ve all been perfect, with Syd, and without him (heartbreaking that). Each of the members solo albums are incredible as well. With the exception of Led Zeppelin, and The Who, how many still argue over the ‘magnum opus’ of these bands? Every album so personally attuned. You can’t pick just one.

"This song has more music in this one song than most bands have in their entire catalog..." To reinforce what you just said, I'm 53 years old and I can guarantee you I've heard Echoes multiple hundreds if not a thousand times in my life time, and while watching your video I heard a new guitar part in the first solo that I'd never picked out before. And that happens all of the time with this band. Decades will go by listening to their songs and out of the blue I'll hear something I'd not heard before, whether it be because my brain was listening differently, the mix was different, the equipment I was listening on created a different field of sound etc. Whatever the case, PF layer their songs deep, deep, deep with music.,

You explained it perfectly, grelch. The layers are so deep, you have to listen multiple songs to get all the details. Songs like Pigs have the subtle bass of Roger, Echoes has Gilmour's guitar speaking to Richard's piano. Mason is like a moderator, controlling the topics. It's like they each converse with their instruments. I know we can't go back and hear something for the first time, but Pink Floyd's music is the closest any band can ever get to giving their listeners that experience.

Great reaction!!! Guys, I was 20yrs old in 1971 and stationed in San Diego U.S. Navy. One night we walked down from Balboa Park to downtown past the convention center only to see Pink Floyd on the marquee. For 10 bucks we sat in the front row center stage and saw one of the most mind blowing concerts ever. ECHOES was just magical after that song I stood up and bowed to Dave Gilmour who was only about 15 ft in front of me. For an encore I saw them again in Feb. 1973 at the same place and the were debuting Dark Side. I have never bern the same since. Love them dearly. Still listening today 48 yrs later. My cd in my car has the PULSE cd in it 90% of the time. Welcome to the Machine!!!!!!

Yeah, gilmour ran his guitar backwards through his wah into his amp and kept his pedal in a certain position, while fiddling with the guitar volume and tone knobs to get those screechy sounds, it sounds like a whale, which goes along with the theme, those pings in the beginning I believe are like the sonar of a submarine and we get the line 'everything is green and submarine', I've always heard the song as taking an underwater journey in certain parts, and some parts seem like the desert, it's like you were up there by pompeii and the volcano, and it erupted so you ran to the ocean and dove in

I only heard Echos live at Pompei this year, and it changed my life. I couldn't believe I had never had the privildege of hearing it earlier. I started telling friends and family about it just like you. I had the benefit of hearing Pink Floyd growing up since it on the local rock radio station, and while I appreciated them, being a staple of "classic rock" I wasn't so into them (being more of a progressive rock fan, actually). But the years passed, the old records of mine gathered dust, radio was tolerable enough, and I guess I just "grew up" and moved on from the old music I had loved. Well, fast forward to this last year, when I came to youtube and found I could revisit all the greats of the 60's and 70's I had loved. I then saw the reaction channels, and gave unknown Pink Floyd tunes a listen. It may have been the lack of decent music today that really influenced my reactions, but man, I had no idea that Pink Floyd was so great. The sounds I remembered from growing up were better than ever, and the songs I had now just heard, like Echos, were so beyond my expectations, well, needless to say, I am a little late to the party, but I am a top fan now, and wonder how in the heck it took me so long. Great that you are carrying the torch for your generation!

Bottom line? It's a masterpiece of musical awesomeness, which is why it's stood the test of time and will continue to amaze new ears for years to come. If I was amazed by it when it was first released all those years ago, then I'm still amazed by it now and it always will amaze me. I cried when I listened to it 40 years ago and I still shed a tear or two even listening to it now. How can anyone not be moved by the lyric 'And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can'. It's that particular line that gets to me!

It's a very good Floyd song which is a 'stand alone' number and is one of my favourite tracks of theirs. I'd be very surprised if you haven't heard it yet. It's on the 'Pulse' DVD.

I'm so glad you guys picked up on the "conversation" between David Gilmour and Rick Wright; this piece is essentially their baby. Not only do they harmonize musically, but vocally as well. I don't know if you picked up on it but it's both of them singing together. Again I highly recommend watching the Live In Gdansk version. Not only is it one of the best live versions I have ever heard period ( Gilmour's guitar work has grown SO much that he actually blows away what he did on the record all those years ago) but it truly showcases the incredible musical harmony between Dave and Rick. You'll thank me later after you see / hear it.

Of all the Pink Floyd albums this one in particular is my favorite. “Meddle” is an incredible album. The first time I listened to it I was 17. It was the summer of “81.” We went to Santa Cruz, I remember hanging out at the beach all day. We were so tired from the sun and swim and we were coming down after a “good smoke” It was a beautiful warm sunny day, late afternoon and we all drove back to my cousin’s house in Los Gatos. She let us all crash out in her living room for a couple of hours and I found “Meddle and put it on the turntable and we all slipped into a wonderful pot induced sleep listening to “Echoes.”......ever since then it was my favorite!!!

Back in the early '90s PF's crew bought their Laser Light Equipment and toured playing shows with DSOM and Echoes during Intermission. If you have never heard DSOM and Echoes at 6000 Watts through huge stacks in an Amphitheater then let me just say WOW. I have never heard anything that loud, or clear before, and I saw The Who back then as well. When Time was playing, the bass note licks in between the toms, literally crushed my ribcage, while watching a mind blowing laser show. An event etched forever in my memory. You have to listen to this on a high end sound system to get the full experience. I have to admit I and my friends, were doing shrooms as well, but the whole experience was so overwhelming it seemed to cancel the effect of the drug. As many have said "You don't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd, you need Pink Floyd to enjoy drugs" (Disclaimer), this does not condone, or represent an endorsement for drug use. 😎😁👍

There's Nothing Like Pink Floyd "Meddle " Taking About Music A Head Of It 's Time It Was A Blast !!! Listening To This At 11 Years Young With Head Phones On 2 / 14 / 21

This is a great song! One of the best progressive rock songs ever recorded. If you love Pink Floyd, you might also love the group Yes, who was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their early to mid-Seventies music is awesome, and took rock music to new avenues of enjoyment, with intricate arrangements, awesome bass playing, a great guitarist, a genius keyboardist, a unique-sounding vocalist, and a very short list of drummers who are incredible. If you want a great first song of theirs to react to, you should start with Roundabout, or any number of other great songs from The Yes Album, or Fragile, or Close to the Edge, or Going For the One, all albums from heir heyday and before they reached their biggest chart success, Owner of a Lonely Heart, in the Eighties.

Years ago, for my 25th birthday, my parents bought a record player for my birthday as I asked. That same day, I found Atom Heart Mother and Meddle om vinyl. That night, I was laying in bed listening to Echoes in the dark, and I was floored. For at least an hour, I was wide awake. All I could think was, "what did I just hear?"

It's funny when he said that it's like a motion picture when you realize they made some soundtracks at the same period. The next step could be Atom Heart Mother (Fun fact: Stanley Kubrick want it for Clockwork Orange and the band say no, imagine !!). 😃

I was born in 1962 and thanks to my older brother, a musician, have listened to Pink Floyd my whole life. This is one of there best along with Comfortably Numb. If you try to really take in the lyrics of this one, you can imagine yourself as some type of unveiled being deep under the seas. Note it speaks of the albatross floating overhead, the coral caves and how everything is green in submarine... or underwater. Something moves toward the light, or surface... almost like a step in evolution. Yes, once we reach the land one becomes a part of unity and guidance by those who begin to evolve. Yet, I suppose there is a point made about the need to continue to move up and ahead, to continue to grow yet nothing "flies around the sun". Let me know what you two, and listeners think. Jodi in Cape Coral, Florida!

1. When I was in college (72-76) a guy in the dorms was into Floyd. His roommate would leave town every weekend, so a few weekend nights, Dave would put on pre-Dark-Side Floyd, we'd get real high (on weed), and we'd lay down on the two beds with the lights off. You guys perfectly described that experience in your reaction! It's so great a love of "journeys" that expand and fill the dark space in your minds is something that is still thoroughly appreciated in this world! 2. Since you love Echoes, check out the live portion of "Umma Gumma" especially "Astronomy Domine" and "Saucerful of Secrets" ("SOS" is in the Pompeii video) -- both mind-blowing journeys in their own unique ways. 3. Also for the reasons you like "Echoes" listen to ELP's "Tarkus" (reportedly the first piece to occupy one whole side of vinyl in prog history, thus perhaps prompting Yes, Floyd, Genesis and Jethro Tull to do long-form pieces). Tarkus takes you on an amazing journey -- a beautifully dark militaristic one -- each chapter practically a banger on its own.

If ya really want to take a trip, try watching/syncing "Echoes" (this original studio version) with the final part of the film '2001: A Space Odyssey,' -- the final part is called "Jupiter And Beyond the Infinite." Seriously. It's awesome, and near perfect in terms of timing. The song will end just as the film does. SO MUCH better than 'Dark Side' synced with 'Wizard of Oz.'

@Rollotomassi099 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, its pretty much assumed that Echoes was made with 2001's Jupiter and Beyond the Infinate part in mind, even though no one in Pink Floyd will ever admit to it. Too many things match up perfectly through the different visuals on the film, especially through the Jupiter atmosphere. Kubrick had approached them to use Atom Heart Mother for 2001 and they declined. When Pink Floyd saw 2001 they relented and said they should have done it. Needless to say, Roger and Kubrick didn't really see eye to eye on things. If you decide to watch this, there's a specific way to make it sync up correctly. if you need help let me know.

I just had an interesting point come up as I watch you guys.... When I first heard this song I was 14. A friend of mine came to my house and said "come to my house, I want to play something for you". Now, I lived about 15 km away (10 miles) from her house.... She took me on her moped and we went to her house. In her room, she put on this vinyl and there it was. Echoes. My point is, back then, it was an experience of an afternoon. We didn't have that music at the press of a button! It is so interesting to remember that. It just made the PF experience even bigger. Enjoy.

This brings back memories of myself as a young lad just beginning the extended journey down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole after I had all the post Dark Side material. The whale/seagull song section used to give me the supreme willies and I remember on more than one occasion waking up disoriented and panicked during that section after having fallen asleep with the headphones on. Man, what other band of that era could soothe you, caress you, exhilarate you and terrify you all within the course of a single song? Now I know there were a few, but I knew of no other back then in that pre-internet stone age.
