Echoes 2 on 3 - funky mouvement

[ukkfayooyay]

Every other band would need a ladder just to see the bottom of Pink Floyds' shoes.

[Gilnar13]

Drums and the bass are just there, doing what they ought to and doing it pretty right.

The organ is totally sweet.

And the GUITAR OH MAN IT'S FUCKING RAW.

[low72]

So psychedelic....whatever it's called that Gilmour is doing with his guitar...not guitar playing cus that shit is out of this world

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

Someone tell me.... Is Gilmour bending both the B and G strings at the same time?

[Rozq87]

@ZeppelinFloydRoses I'm pretty sure he does. It sounds similar when I do it, so it has to be the case. I did a cover of this, check it out if you like. Cheers.

[spacemonk2011]

I am astonished by the way that video clip was made 2 years before I was born. Looks so fresh. In 10 years this will be 50 years old.Half a century..... Can you imagine? I do not comment the music cause I take for granded that Pink Floyd is 20th century's classic music...

[JackyRowe]

I knwo they're all part of making this beautiful piece of funky music, but when you see that shot of rick from 2:32, i almost feel sorry for the little weird man in the corner rocking out! does anyone else see what i mean?

[RMRockstar]

Excellent

[lptomtom]

Erm...the stereo bass that Waters used was his Rickenbacker 4001S (Syd Barrett days). This is his Fender Precision, which is (of course) mono.

[carmenghia1995]

This is supercalafragalisticFUNKYalado­cious!

[dyork423]

finally after being aware of this music for 5 years, i have decided it is my favorite. it's the funkiest, most rocked out 4 minutes of music i've ever heard!

[elinmagg]

David looks soooo yummy.... and creating these sounds on top of that *swoon*

[uguujk]

it's a signature of human race.

[gdanijel2]

after all this time and watching and listening all sort of music, this is still the best rock song of all time!

[MudShark85]

gods voice couldnt have the same power that Gilmours guitar tone has. this is a masterpiece of not only music as a whole but also guitar tone itself.

fuck yeah!

[Sanisaninja]

never mind the bass and drums, it's that hammond lick which keeps the whole monolithic movement going...

[CultureJudge]

And so perfectly filmed too. Tracking past the backline with nothing but that stencil and the rivets on the speaker cabs filling the screen. And drifting past the the front of those cabs with the 70s speaker meshes glittering black in the sunlight, echoing the ancient wall solemnly gliding by in the background. And rolling slowly past the spectacular features of Water's troglodyte head as he chunks out that riff. Gilmour's vast trouser zip. All this is worth 1000 MTV fastcut video turds.

[Rozq87]

David makes me happy

[CrazyRockerGuy]

no words can describe this

[zogrush]

i love it how they are all in there own state of mind... they have a zone that gives sucha good vibe

[davidgilmour01]

It's kinda funny, when i listen to this part of the song theres a picture in my mind. I think of nature, maybe of the dessert. First everythings all rotten trees and sand and stuff and then there comes the mighty rain. Its thunder and lightning and the rain floods everything, and after it, everything becomes green.

I'm not quite sure where this picture comes from, but i have to think of it, everytime i listen to this.

[marc25052005]

@davidgilmour01 When I listen to Echoes I think about Universe, about its secrets, size. It hardly associates with SF literature for me.

[ukkfayooyay]

@davidgilmour01 Many of Pink Floyd's compositions bring mental pictures to mind. I get a different mental movie from this one: a caravan of army vehicles moving across the frozen Arctic by starlight.

[charadeyouareha]

@ukkfayooyay Interesting!

[ukkfayooyay]

Pure awesomeness. Rock n roll is fun but very rarely awesome. Pink Floyd achieved awesomeness with quite a few of their pieces.

[junkiemunkie1000]

is that really the only stereo bass?

[booyah82]

BAMFs all around BAMFs

[m1d4s13]

i agree with danijelg1972... thats amazing.

this part and the song time are the most energetic piece of music by pink floyd

[jabbapotamus]

who got the funk

[danijelg1972]

this is the BEST 3:53 minutes in the history of Rock music. PLAY LOUD as much as you can!

[slingblade98]

it contains the sum of all human existence

[ukkfayooyay]

I recently played this for a friend who had never listened to Pink Floyd. He said, "That is the funkiest piece of music I've ever heard!"

[ukkfayooyay]

I still recall seeing this movie in a theatre in Homestead, Florida in 1975 when it was first released. Fucking awesome.

[Rozq87]

That had to be a blast

[YesHellFrozeOver]

Awesome, as they say here in the States (though i'm a Brit)

I can only imagine what it would have been like to have been present when they played this 'gig'

All Hail!

[greatgable1]

i agree

now and again i come back to it , i cant help myself

[ukkfayooyay]

This part of Echoes has been my very favorite piece of music for the past 39 years. No shit.

[cjpwallace]

As good as it gets !

Nothing will ever come close.

[VintageGearGuy]

possibly the greatest recorded sound ever

[PINKFL0YDM4573R]

2:39 looks sped up gilmour is such a guitar god along with all of pink floyd. rip rick

[Cthulhussama]

rip roger even he's not dead.

[Werajsta]

Fantastic!

[bigsaw66]

There will never be a band which could follow them. Never...

[vile14u]

they played a concert for themselves awesome

[vile14u]

nick mason and the whole band are gods

[PhiZappaCrappa]

Man - Can you imagine bein' up onna grass in that ampitheatre that evening? In-fuckin'-credible! And this is 35 years ago!?! Cutting-edge '08, daddy!

[mayowithcheese]

best part! muaha

[dzezzz]

good beat in this track as the whole track

[teeme73]

It doesn't get any better. Seen Roger play this in LA last year. Echoes was the highlight of the show.

[alwilliams88]

Sheer purity in music! Nothing comes close to Floyd, and nothing ever will!

[labe64]

hum, it is just Pink Floyd impro, not the job of one of them.

[kenny9048]

soo is roger. dont forget

(smiling)

[Floydian1384]

Gilmour is God!
