  • oh my god I actually heard this song on the radio today. I was so surprised.

  • @traditionalsmith me too man i was like awesome lol

  • 7:01 AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHH YYYYYEEAAAHHHH!!!  Get funky with it david, get funky with it.

  • Pink Floyd will reside in the canon of greatest music ever made by humans along with the likes of Beethoven or Mozart, The Beatles or any other musician(s) who gave us such a special and lasting gift through their music

  • A guy once asked me what would you do if u had exactly 23.29 minutes to live

    'listen to echoes one last time"

  • I've got Meddle on vinyl, it's pretty worn, but I still love putting it on. It's probably my favorite and most played Pink Floyd album.

  • This is mystical to me in so many ways, it's almost holy. I discovered Pink Floyd a few years back and never has music moved me in such a way that they did. You don't need weed, LSD, or shrooms to enjoy this kinda stuff. Lay down on your bed, close your eyes, and just listen to the music. That itself will give you chills, feelings you never felt before. Listen deeply, listen to the words, and just take deep breaths. Take it all in, enjoy. Pink Floyd will always remain legends. Timeless.

  • I am a HUGE Zep fan. But the break of driving funk @ 7:00 to about 10:30 is one of the greatest pieces of music ever!

  • Masterpiece

  • hell i jam this and all pink floyd in car jam system and in certain neighborhood where boom boom is normal this sound gets attention for sure and they love it

  • 8 dislikes, come on.

  • i think its no one *showed us to the land in the description, 2nd paragraph, you know. just saying

  • chuck norris can listen to this 10 times in an hour.

  • My favourite....

  • what is that a picture of? looks like a turtle

  • @hafaball An ear underwater

  • @hafaball a human ear

  • the Beatles ARE NOT better than Pink Floyd. the Beatles didnt have much of a distinctive sounds,but Floyd is in a category all their own,and the most distinctive,genius music - lyrics and the music. They have a sound all their own,

  • @amberreaganlowe6 You're right. The Beatles are not better than Pink Floyd. But Pink Floyd is not better than The Beatles. Comparing those two bands is silly. They are on completely different levels musically. It's all a matter of preference my friend :)

  • the Beatles ARE NOT better than Pink Floyd. the Beatles didnt have much of a distinctive sounds,but Floyd is in a category all their own,and the most distinctive,genius music - lyrics and the music.

  • at 18:14. God i can not explane.

  • @ShootingStarFilms1 Nor can you spell.

  • Thumbs up if you are listening to this in 2011 and if you will listen it untill you die...

  • @Migashbk thumbs up if you needlessly strive to get thumbs up because your a pathetic chump

  • @Migashbk ill be listening until after I'm dead

  • @Migashbk that's right!

  • thanks for the great song

  • Wonderful song,but Pompeii version is better

  • The most incredible thing about this CD is that the photo is of an ear under the water.

  • Listening to this is like heaven cause im being forced to take notes in my government class..

  • More than Dark Side Of The Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975) or The Wall (1979), this is Pink Floyd's masterpiece!

  • Most certainly a MASTERPIECE. Greatest band ever.

  • Wow... I've known this song for so long, and I never consciously noticed 9:00 to about 14:00

    Amazing how this music can take you so far away...

  • i was 666th like?

  • I was the 666th like. Nice.

  • This is spine chillingly good.

  • I could listen to this song 2,000 times and never get tired of any part.

  • LOL Mega - nice one

  • Frank Sinatra's version beats the lot.

  • @Salmoncrusher Hehehaha. You make me laugh!

  • @thebigfour13 They were both equally amazing bands. Piss off.

  • @ladyofthe0cean Nope. Actually, the Beatles are the most fucking overrated band ever. Except the Jonas brothers.

  • I often listen to this whilst driving around in my Interceptor, life doesn't get more 1970s than that, pure bliss. Thanks for thr upload.

  • At 6:28, this song beats all.

  • Comment removed

  • People lift 200-300 yrs old music up now. Guess what they lift up after 200 yrs?

    Classics will be classics.

  • dose anyone else think the picture looks like an angry sand spitting camel or turtle?

  • @bloodysword100 I thought it was an eagle on the cover.

  • simply the best,we all are members of that distant tribe,what a jam,so grateful to have grown up w/ this...shine on racingaccidents2 and all love and feel!

  • Thanks for posting this and keeping it alive in my and others Memory Bank.

    My friend John had a custom *Van* that had one Killer Audio System. 1976 onward was the era, we would "Party" Cruising around the parks, Just living or Teenage life. Parking lots @ 2:00am, is where you would find us, with the Vans Doors Open wide, Meddle blaring. We had the Frisbee, The bag, the beer and FUN! The times were different, the music was great, the friends loyal, and NO Internet, No Cells, No fax, Just FUN!

  • 41MB song

  • @MrAlekz worth it thow

  • guess who's tripping ?

  • How could something as trippy as this get a negative vote? I guess free speech have their upsides and downsides.....This is one hell of a lesson in music history and in music by itself........i have been echoed...

  • Probably Pink Floyd's best song. Incredibile. Fantastica.

  • ...amazing

  • je la dédie à mon frêre Dominique

  • cette chanson est la plus belle chanson jamais créée

  • step 1 get baked (optional)

    step 2 look up space odyssey 2001 star scene at the end

    step 3 mute the star scene

    step 4 have the music playing in the background

    step 5 sit back and relax and enjoy the ride

  • @ToxicSpartan94 I guess it's only good if you're baked, but that was pretty lame and im sober :P

  • 5 deafs

  • 18:14 is the point at which you realize you are hearing the most beautiful music to ever be written.

  • @thedearpsychonaut Really man? For me that started around 00:00

  • hes right, i was just thinking that before i read his comment, the beatles are like the pop mainstream version of the true madness that is the underground subculture of floyd.

  • aww man the chills down my spine

  • WOW IS THIS SO GOOD??!?

  • a masterpiece

  • 555 likes and 5 dislikes XD

    Is that a sign or something?

  • Acchhh, Richard Wright was God.

  • I play this on my drum kit,.. this is a symphonic masterpeice!

  • Definitely my favourite Pink Floyd song which spans over 10 minutes!

  • this is my favorite pink floyd song of all time, and i had to choose it from a list with every other song pink floyd ever did!

  • Most idiots I know don't have the attention span for a 23 minute song... Damn shame because this is one of the greatest songs of all time.

  • @eaglezfan2093 They're not idiots, they just don't have ears that can pick up this frequency of such high quality and beautiful music.

  • @eaglezfan2093 That is sadly true because Echoes is so amazing,so original,majestic all throughout the song.

  • @eaglezfan2093 Yeah. People should know that it's good to enjoy some real music and just forget about anything else for a while.

  • "Meddle" is 40 years today ! I can't believe my ears ! :O

  • @Messagedepaix Happy Birthday to the album which contained Pink Floyd's finest song.

  • Happy 40th anniversary Meddle

  • Today this masterpiece of an album celebrates 40 years since its release.

  • 15:00 to the end, my favorite part

  • JEBENO

  • where here listening to amazing music that no one will ever be abl to match and all these dumb fucks are listening to mac miller wiz and lil wayne hahaha stupid people.

  • Which came first, Echoes or Phantom of the Opera?

  • @EyeHawk777 Echoes. Im afraid Andrew Lloyd Webber stole it from the masters.

  • @thelilymoore

    Yay!!!

    Good luck to you my friend, and congratulations on your excellent taste in music!

  • @EyeHawk777 it sucks how Roger Waters takes his band mates to court for using the 'Pink Floyd' name but won't take Andrew Lloyd Webber to court for stealing this masterpiece. Phantom of the opera has the same bar notes as pink floyd, which are unique to this song.

  • @HazelMangoStarcraft UNIQUE?! Thousand bilions of composition use a 5 note scale going down chromatically, since ancient greek music (btw "the same bar notes" means nothing!)...it's a very basical structure and Waters may shout as much as he wants, but if he never took to court A.L. Webber (or R. Wakeman, that used the same structure in '77) is because he knows that there's nothing applicable.

  • @EyeHawk777 And the same to you, unfortunately i have no friends who enjoy the Floyd or any other of my favourite bands such as Camel, King Crimson or Van der graaf generator :( According to pretty much everyone i know my taste in music is very old and very poor.

  • @thelilymoore

    They look like dorks!

  • @EyeHawk777 Well it does seem very strange that some people can not appreciate great music including this song. A true masterpiece !

  • @thelilymoore

    Tell them I hate them!

  • @EyeHawk777 seeing as pink floyd created the universe its safe to go with pink floyd

  • @fatpersononabicyle

    i love that.

  • Drop a hit.......crank up the headphones.........oblivion!

  • 18:14 God Only Knows.

  • Listening to echoes makes waiting 20 minutes for pizza shorter!:D

  • Best song Pink Floyd ever wrote. The second is Dogs.

  • @mahavishnuxc Comfortably Numb, Time, and Shine On... are up there too

  • I´ve heard something similar to the first minute in Minecraft

  • Halloween night I am going to open the windows and crank the hell out of this!!!

  • this is unbelieveblely tripping

  • Comment removed

  • An ancient beautiful mad tale

  • @wearywallow took the words right out of my mouth. have an upvote

  • 18:14 Greatest moment in music history.

  • @Hilian95 thats my favorite part =]

  • @Hilian95 agree :-)

  • My hat is off to you Syd. This is what you started, and look at it now.

  • 4 people are jealous Beatles fanboys, who can't understand how phenomenal the Floyd's music is.

  • @thebigfour13 1) Your name directly references the Beatles, so I don't get the hate.

    2) The Beatles and Pink Floyd were both great bands

    3) X people are ___ comments are unoriginal and boring.

    4) Kill yourself

  • @MasterYumyums The big four mentioned in my username refers to the big four of thrash metal, which I was obsessed with at the time that I made my account. I didn't say that the Beatles weren't a great band, but in my opinion, Pink Floyd is better. About the "unoriginal" comment, going around saying people are wrong isn't very original either. And telling me to kill myself, not until you do.

  • @thebigfour13 Just never post the X people are ____ shit again dude. That stuff wears on you after the millionth time you've seen it. I overreacted, but that's becoming the singly most obnxious thing on the internet.

  • @MasterYumyums I thought that was Rick Rolling.

  • @thebigfour13 I heard the Beatles after i heard pink floyd and they are my 2 favorite bands, both are amazing bands, and using their fans as to distinguish a better of the two is jut idiotic, you are slowing the progress of the all man kind with your idiotic comment. If the comment had been about justin bieber, that would be another story..

  • @RapInPublic Sorry if I offended you, but in my opinion nothing the Beatles wrote could compare to Pink Floyd.

  • @thebigfour13 completely true, theyre completely overatted.

  • @towelmanfilms I agree. Lennon, I think, was a different kettle of fish...great shame he was shot and killed so wasn't able to carry on his musical journey. Imagine is one of the best songs ever in centuries of musical history :( Who knows what he might have produced....

  • @thebigfour13 I got to agree, You cannot compare Echoes to let it be. They are both AMAZING band, and I've seen both Roger waters and Paul McCartney live. Both AMAZING shows, but they are both WAY too different to compare.

  • @thebigfour13 damn straight

  • @thebigfour13 compare, no but both are legendary.I can't tell which of the doors and beatles and also pink floyd wrote better it's not the question i like wtih same energy...

  • @thebigfour13 AMEN!!!!!!! The beatles are way,way beneath Floyd and their unsurpassing greatness and talent. No other band can compare to Pink Floyd and the Beatles are highly overrated.

    

  • @amberreaganlowe6

    the Beatles are better than pink floyd though.

  • @JoshRobertson142 don't be silly

  • @ThinkingInFractals

    they are, pink floyd are an incredible band but the beatles do are better. heck if it wasn't for the beatles i doubt pink floyd would have existed they really started the psychedelic rock/pop in the mid 60's

  • @JoshRobertson142 I think to save yourself any further embarrassment you should stop listening to music and take up golf or knitting

  • @ThinkingInFractals

    like i said i'm a bif pink floyd fan but comparing them to the beatles is stupid. The beatles were better songwriters and then music in the long run will probably last longer than PF.

  • @JoshRobertson142 yes, very stupid.

  • 3people couldnt handle this song,

  • Imaginations does wonders with this song.

  • ...Three prople here have no Ear Drums.......

  • @strp0wns911

    @ToxicSpartan94

    Try not to idealize music; you most likely will always keep finding new good stuff that may take a first place in your catalogue.

  • I wish more music like this would be made

  • @ToxicSpartan94 sadly there will never be a band better than pink floyd :/

  • why does it always stop at 5.27 when you tape it ?

  • favorite song

    ever

  • This is one of the greatest achievements in the history of mankind. If there is no purpose to human life, this is the closest thing. Share it with everyone you know. It will change their life.

  • I live for the funk section from around 7:00 to 11:30...just beast.

    Also: RIP Rick Wright

  • i bet a ton of people are sitting in there room doing homework right now

    

  • @scottchupp while listening to Pink Floyd, of course ;)

  • @scottchupp you're like some kind of psychic O_O

  • @scottchupp damn true

  • @scottchupp yup haha

  • Fantastic. From the very first radar blip, I recall my father playing this wonderful record constantly when I was just a young tyke. It will forever be synonymous with some of the happiest, best times of my entire life. Sadly, my father is no longer with us, but I watch Live in Pompeii every year to mark his birthday. Love you always dad, and long live The Floyd. Cheers.

  • Tied with Shine On You Crazy Diamond for my favorite Pink Floyd songs. Their 20+ minute epics are remarkable pieces of art.

  • i think i just blew my load

  • esa canción me hase volar

  • @terranigma108 hase?

  • @slashrm90 this song makes me fly

    is a song very psychedelic as it is one of the first albums but still very good .=)

  • Its an ear underwater...

  • the greatest song in history, shed tears always 21:20-23:29, thank your david

  • From around 14:30 to 18:15 will always be the most amazing build up of all time. I feel emotion that I can't even explain with words.

  • Thats the best of Pink Floyd for me now and 40 years ago when i was 16.

  • Hard to believe this is 40 years old now

  • @TheDayMang Yes...where DID the time GO, m8?

  • @TheDayMang

    40 years or 40 seconds when you listen to pink floyd time

    and 'on .... very relative.

  • 18:14 is the single most beautiful moment in music history.. I'm always stunned by it.

  • Pink Floyd's magnum opus, if you ask me.

  • 3 People hate Music .

  • am i a crazy person or do i hear crows?

  • @gilmourguitar123 probably to get around copyright issues

  • holy shit!!! thanks yu so much foruploading this mate! :D i hope this doesnt get removed, or else... >:(

  • only 19544 views? this song deserves more recognition!!!!!!!!!!!!! ass holes
