  • Jools Holland's voice is ANNOYING. Great performance by Dave Gilmour......RIP Rick Wright

  • WHY WASNT ROGER WATERS THERE AS WELL?!?!!?! I HEARD THAT ROGER AND RICK WERE BEST FRIENDS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE WALL RECORDINGS.

  • 3 years after, I still tear up when i hear this song. One of Floyd's best

  • Comment removed

  • i can't stand this fuckin' man(the presentator of cuorse)

  • Roger Waters is the only living band member of the four that originally performed on this song in 1968 :(

  • @aascorp77 nope...

  • @svetavodica Yeah, Nick Mason hadn't been born yet.

  • Can't belive how hart it was for Dave to hold back the tears during the show.... :(

  • You can see the tears in david's eyes. RIP Rick

  • Thanks so much.

  • Fantastic - beautifully true to the original version, hats off to the backing band.

    RIP Richard William Wright - a very sad loss.

  • R.I.P. Rick Wright. Us and them is so powerful.

  • Merci! very enjoyable to watch and indeed you can see Jeff Beck@2:53~ ! Cheers for posting this up, Thank you.

  • @tootiredtocare1 Sorry if I offended you, but why is it British music shows like "Top Of The Pops" and others always seem to be hosted by men with high pitched voices who seem to suffer from social awkwardness?

  • Amazing version , should be released on cd. Who's the drummer ?..amazing , reminds me of the drum break from Tomorrow Never Knows by the Beatles .

    RIP Rick you waer one of the greats . pity you wern't appreciated by some members of the band ..sad

  • Great Rick Wright tribute! Gilmour and Wright'a voices have always sounded eerily similar. Yea, Jules Holland is a twit, but for some reason, every music show host I've ever scene from Great Britain has been exceedingly nerdy. Why is that?

  • lol thumbs up if you noticed jeff beck at 2:53

  • I hate the host so much.

  • @nugster1 How can you hate Jools? You must not know who Jools is...

  • @ChablesMan

    I dont know hes irritating for some reason lol.

  • @nugster1 If you can look past his loud talking and extravagent behaviour, you'll see he's actually quite a cool person. And he can play a beastly piano.

  • This made me cry.

  • this video makes me incredebly sad but he played beatifully

  • love david and miss rick.

  • love david and miss rick.

  • I highly recommend that everyone listen to Richard Wright's two solo albums; Wet Dream (1978), and Broken China (1996). They're absolutely fantastic.

    So long, Rick.

  • Puts a lump in my throat. One of my favorite post-Syd songs.

  • @Nazzz65 It's not post-Syd.

  • @Nazzz65 Syd was still in the band when this song was made, he played the guitar.

  • One of my favourite Floyd songs. Great tribute.

  • Richard Wright's vocals = Epic Winning

    Dave I love how you covered it, fantastic! :)

  • Jools holland should have broke rank with his producers and let the show run over and Let David play to his hearts content mabe he was prepard to do an entire concert what a treat that would have been'

  • The interviewer is an idiot!

  • @baletlnetpepas

    Hell no, it's just Jools Holland !

  • Dave seems to be such a cool guy! and here he´s really playing in the original style of Syd. Wonderful.

  • Poor Jools you know he wanted to keep talking and not cut him short, but I think he should have said fuck it. You know every one there waited to listen to David.

  • Sometimes I wonder... Maybe destiny wanted Gilmour to carry on the musical spirit of the Floyd founders, like the youngester of the family carries the heritage of his family. First Syd, now Wright...

  • Wow, Nice tribute to Richard...and Syd too - those are his slide lines!

    Dave carries the spirit of The Pink Floyd on. Well done, Dave!

    You know you're good when Jeff Beck is in the audience!

  • Awesome version Dave! A fitting tribute to Rick...and great choice of song!

  • RICHARD WRIGHT IS PINK

  • david has so beautifully remembered richard, just as he has done for syd . david is very close to god . thank you david, and may god bless you forever and ever.

  • i just love this, amazing tune, beautiful tribute. R.I.P Rick Wright you wont be forgotten, Pink Floyd will live forever.

  • The interviewer is a disrespectful asshole

  • Guy and Steve look like they have aged a lot since G'Dansk, and John looks really stressed out that Rick is gone. This group won't be the same. I miss you Rick, never got to see you live.

  • The interviewer is fucking annoying.

  • In the Rock Bible will say...

    "Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning, GOD CREATED PINK FLOYD..."

  • at 4:05 he is really cant hold his tears any more

    RIP richard

  • My fav floyd song,great performance.

  • great, a rare favourite of mine- i always loved that song!

  • When looking at this footage i got the feeling that jools doesn't seem to realise who's sitting in front of him.

    This man, David Gilmour is a true legend and as all members of Pink Floyd are..

    You see David is sad about Rick passed away And jools doesn't pay much attention to it, sadly. He's doing this performance and Rick would have been there too.. how painfull is that. Got tears in my eyes really.. what is Pink Floyd without Rick?

    Damn,

    life IS hard

    R.I.P. Richard Wright

  • ENGLISH AND A GENTLEMAN

  • This is the most beautiful tribute I've ever seen.

  • soo thats where rogers rickenbacker is at! guy pratt was the one who stole it this whole time

  • I'm breathless... the guitar work, the vocals of the song, the drumming, how the whole thing is put together.... Just seamless. A beautiful and seamless song, greatly performed by everybody, and it overjoys me to see David Gilmour doing so god damn well onstage. He'll never really age.

  • It is sad and emotional to see Davids eyes go red while talking about Rick. He was a great man, Great Musician, and great friend for David. I will Personally Miss him untill i Pass away, he moves me in music. As in what i play, record and listen to.

    What a man, Or what men. They are both iconic to me.

    Lt Curry.

  • theres a jeff beck in the audience

  • Rick was the part that held floyd songs together. Think of listening to Echoes without the amazing piano, or Shine On without his playing. Any of the floyd's songs would not be the same without rick, and he is missed greatly. David was very much professional by showing up for this gig, but he was obviously very sad at the passing of his dear friend, Mr. Wright. I personally tear up watching David and Rick sing Echoes at Pompeii.

  • Awesome tune .

  • and where is this awesome comfortably numb solo, which he played at the burial from rick wright ?

  • it was all syd

  • What a classy guy. And he is great at keeping his cool. I would of bursted into tears.

    R.I.P. Rick, you were the best!

  • fucked gilmour

  • is it me or david looked a little stiffed on that song? :(

  • is it me or david looked a little stiffed on that song?

  • My God, that was good. Always considered this song a masterpiece. One of Wright's master-strokes in this piece is the repeated piano chord jumping those two octaves - gives a stunning image of little children playing. The combination of that with the driving guitars and drums provides a psych-rock evocation of childhood as powerful as Syd's best work. In the context here, it had me in effing tears.

  • @CultureJudge Wright was always so self-effacing and played down his role in early Floyd, but it's obvious from this tune amongst others, that Wright was the unsung genius in Pink Floyd, and he was by far the true musician in the band...

  • i love how david put himself aside and turned it into a tribute to rick. im a huge fan of rick's and i love his work with the floyd. def a class act by david. he wasn't even on this track, syd did the slide guitar. and props to jools for bringing syd into it to with astronomy domine. awesome video.

  • The best song on Saucerful of Secrets, and definitely one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. Great rendition. I hope he keeps it has part of his live set for awhile. You can tell Gilmour is really pained in this video though. It really is sad.

  • The best song on Saucerful of Secrets, and definitely one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. Great rendition. I hope he keeps it has part of his live set for awhile. You can tell Gilmour is really pained in this video though.

  • man such powerful and moving music, the definition of beauty in its purest form, absolutely astonishing.

  • Wow, is that Phil Manzanera on guitar??? What a dynamite guitarist - and even a better man. As always, willing to fit into whatever role he is asked.

  • this song is over forty years old and it's still miles ahead of anything coming out now. Why has creativity slowed down?

  • @genesisrock43 because greed has become a priority.

  • Always one of many favourites of Rick's along with See Saw and Summer 68 ; what a unique band the Floyd were.All the boys are legends in their own way

  • Man that tele sounds great. Great song.

  • RIP SYD and RICK

  • Nice Tele!

  • The song was recorded for Piper- but not included. This version is not just Dave's tribute to Rick, but also to Syd and his unhinged lsdie guitar. I mean slide guitar.

  • I still can't believe that Richard Wright is dead...

  • That keyboard player is the same one Roger Waters used on his In The Flesh tour.

  • @dickenstom

    He is Jon Carin who played on A Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell and toured with PF.

  • Lovely tribute, terrific song.

    RIP Rick.

  • This is an amazing version of this song. Good to see Jon Carin replacing Rick, at least it was someone who I know Rick respected.

  • david initially struggles to reply through his heartbreak :-|

  • Strange that they played a Syd-based clip in an interview with David Gilmour about Rick... Considering Rick wasn't even shown and Gilmour wasn't even in the band haha.

    Nice touch on the song though!

  • @nickermell Rick was shown singing

  • @wolves750 haha whoops you're right he was there

  • @nickermell That is exactly what I was thinking.

  • @nickermell yeah, it was like they were showcasing Syd Barrett, why didn't they play any number of live video of Remember a Day?

  • This is so beautiful. R.I.P. Rick Wright.

  • Interesting! Rick's contribution on "Saucerful" were a bit overlooked at the time. This is a nice version. Actually, Syd Barret played slide on the album version.

  • That album is the only time when all five members of the band contributed.

  • That's right. Do you know any track where they actually BOTH (gilmour and barrett) play together? or a live show? I've read that it wasn't always great but I really want to hear how it sounds...

  • cracking version, gilmour is a god, not just doing the normal songs, but doing stuff of Rick's and Syds. Fabulous bloke.

  • @coxtriggs I agree Pink Floyd & Syd Barratt are my idols

  • As a loving fan of Rick Wright and David Gilmour, having had Pink Floyd as a sound track to my youth and adulthood, and now being in middle age with them, grieve tremendously the loss of Rick. Watching David Gilmour's grief is almost unbearable.

  • i love David Gimour therefore have watched numerous live performances of his throughout the years and this one really hits an emotional note. The expression in his eyes when they do some of the close-up shows grief, and you know he's really feeling the song he's playing. It's a wonderful song and David performs it beautifully, doing justice to the musical talent of Richard Wright.

  • DG...he is so in my veins.. i'm so much influenced by him as a guitar player.. i'm realizing that he's also an outstanding person

  • I worship DG.

  • I convert the sound from these clips to mp3 quick and free - lookup mp4ify on any search engine

  • wow jon sounds a lot like richard here

  • it felt the same as seeing them open in 94 w/ astronomy domine.....unbelievable...neve­r thought i'd get to see these songs performed...in any form.....i was almost moved to tears when they opened with echoes in 87.......floyd and their members solo stuff has been the soundtrack to my life and its just moving as can be to see/hear this!!! drums are very masonish!!!

  • Jeff Beck is sitting behind David in the audience.

  • is that possible to have the song in mp3?

  • @guerreworldwar2 : google: "Ripping audio from Youtube"

  • What an amazing tribute. I still cant get over that this was played..Gilmour handles it well and doesnt show too much flash sliding. Rick Wright was an important part of Pink Floyd and a lot of his songs are my faves like this, See-Saw and Paintbox.

  • Typical Gilmour. What a legend. A lesser man would've:

    a) played a song off the CD they were promoting; or

    b) played really poorly under the circumstances.

    He did neither. And what a treat for all us Wright fans

  • i have to agree that hes a classy guy but the album he was promoting is a live album that featured solo and pink floyd stuff... not a new studio album...

  • That song has always been hauntingly beautiful. Rick was a phenomenal songwriter. All the gents are wearing black in his honour, I presume.

  • amazing song

  • Every time I watch this I can't help but see the pain even in Jon Carin's eyes as well. They all played that lat tour so well together. But DG I think did all he could to hold it together. Class act.

  • did someone got the song live in mp3!?!?!?!??

  • David Gilmour - ultimate gentleman and ultimate guitarist for phrase and melody without being flash.. Don't get me wrong -I love fast flash players - Holdsworth, Satriani, Vai, Petrucci, etc - BUT Gilmour only has to play one note to evoke emotion in me.......God bless 'im and god rest Rick Wright (from an atheist)...Hope they get together with Roger again....Roger is another story........affectionately speaking...

  • Wow....ive been a huge gilmour fan for a long time and have never seen him play slide guitar before....seen him on the pedal steel, but never the slide guitar...

  • You should see Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii, it''s an awesome video and he plays slide on it.

  • In North America, television programs don't follow this type of Pink Floyd-interviewing, ale-drinking format! That is why they're all garbage!

  • Just finished reading

    Saucerfull of Secrets which is a nice Biography of all the Floyd upto the Live8 Concert

    Worth a read

  • ive never seen david playing regular slide guitar! Rick and David rule!!!!

  • One of my fav songs. This tribute is perfect.

    But is so sad to know that it reveals 8 blue histories in 4:30 minutes:

    1.- First Wright recorded composition.

    2.- First Gilmour's song recorded playing with PF.

    3.- PF never played in concerts.

    4.- Wright couldn't perform it again.

    5.- Gilmour's expression.

    6.- Wright also compose in this song his own tribute in the final line "Reee-member".

    7.- This song and this musician never had the honour they deserve.

    8.- RIP Richard Wright.

  • I believe than David Gilmour is trying to do exactly that you refers in the point 7

    Pink Floyd never wad it's "Floyd sound" if Wright wasn't be there playing his keyboards

    RIP Rick Wight

  • I realize of that, but why 'til Wright's dead and had to be Gilmour and no one else? why the whole band didn't want to play once again?

    Really I prefer this song over Waters' set the controls ..., also for being considerated for many tributes over that song, I wish Wright saw a tribute.

    Regards.

  • Actually, the studio version had Syd Barrett playing the guitar. This is a really good live tribute, though.

  • @jorkanmx I always heard that this song was recorded before Gilmour joined Floyd.

  • @sandro28grizz It was. Syd Barrett plays the slide guitar part on the original recording.

  • i almost cry with this song david looks so insprired singin it to his great friend richard...and this song is awesome i always had like

  • Yes it is inspiring and very emotional . . Richard Wright was a great musician and a great friend to David. His songs, Breakthrough (solo) and Wearing The Inside Out are great . RIP RW!!!

  • Mr. Gilmour, please re-release this one on audio (CD, iTunes, etc.)...LOVE THIS SONG! It's funny...Jon Carin kind of reminds me of a young Syd Barrett; they look similar, and Stevie is a great drummer and looks like a really down to earth, cool dude. ALL OF YOU GUYS ROCK!

  • Its deffinitly Jeff Beck in the Beckground!! ;)

    ...yeahh!!!

  • Jeff rules! what a cool dude for showing up!

  • And yes, I realize that Remember a Day was cut from Piper at the last minute, and has Syd on guitar (acoustic and slide). Since, as we know from Gilmour, STCFTHOTS is the only song that features all five members being recorded.

  • Actually, despite what a lot of people say, it looks like "Remember a Day" was recorded in October 1967, two months after "Piper..."'s release. I'm pretty sure it was attempted during the "Piper..." sessions, though.

  • Well, I would consider '68 visits to the BBC still pretty early in the bands history, and with Gilmour in the line up by then performing several tracks from SFOS which is still in the same vein as their stuff with Syd (I don't consider Saucer to be an album that features Syd in any serious way), as is all there stuff up to the Wall, since Rick Wright's keyboards make up a huge portion of Floyd's sound he doesn't get enough credit for.

  • Of all the video out there, they pull the BBC studio version of Astronomy Domine with Syd before Gilmour, classic carelessness that permeates the media today.

  • Yeah they pulled that clip cause they were taking about the early use of keyboards with pink floyd...and the fact it featured rick wright.

  • Waters who? Gilmore is and always was the leader of Pink Floyd. I think it is Jeff Beck in the background, he's sitting close I assume he's a vip/friend. Amazing guitarist's do associate.

  • He wasn't a leader when Roger Waters took control of the helm during the meddle era until roger left after the final cut.

  • Man I'm so happy this is posted! I left the room while the show was on and only caught a second of "Remember".....and was bummed!

    Rick Wright was a legend!!!

  • Its called a tribute to the man, Rick wrote the song back when Syd was still conscience. So it was apporpriate.

  • ey fix the telecaster

  • Is that Jeff Beck in the background at 1:31 ?

  • i don't think that is jeff beck. if you are talking about the guy with the purple hair

  • im a big floyd fan grown up in 80s listining to there old and new songs that time and was so shocked to hear that rick died .i cant believe that the media didnt mention nothin in news or did any sort of tribute programme .. remember a day and i will always remember the days when i use to listen to there music and the joy i felt . rick u will always be rememberd RIP..

  • The one thing that stops these amazing musicians from being "gods" is that they will all eventually die.

    RIP Rick

  • WAIT A MINUITE WAIT A MINIUTE did i just see jools holland hurrying david gilmour. blasphmy in my book.

  • come on guys you know tv shows are rigidly timed

  • David seems so sad...

  • richard always looked so happy when he played live.

  • "Why can't we play today?" So sad, RIP Rick.

  • I think its pretty funny they play a PF video that DOESN'T have David Gilmour in it.

  • Must have been hard for David to sing this song.

  • I love binson echorec

  • It looks like even Jon Carin is sad like David. I think they were both choking up at one point. :( very sad still to this day.

  • It really breaks my heart to see David talk about Richard...

  • I LOVE that song =)

  • David is the master guitarist ,

  • The ending... how does David sing that high at that age? lol

  • He's God.

  • dave is sad in his heart , the loss of his old friend, great tribute to rick, and remember syd barret too, rip to them both

  • Definitely one of the best songs on Saucerful of Secrets. Would be cool to have this on MP3

  • RIP Richard Wright. You've always been my favorite member

  • i know time is money on television...but nobody should hurry up David Gilmour..i dont give a fuck who you are, you just dont..

  • I couldnt have put it better myself, who does Jools Holland think he is ??

    One cheeky bastard hurrying Gilmour along like that...

  • @arkhforever at least it wasnt on american TV, then it wouldve lasted half as long lol

  • @arkhforever I agree with you, you should never hurry up Sir. David Gilmour, you don't have a right

  • @arkhforever right on.

  • Gilmour's slide solo on that Tele is extraordinarily sad.

  • sry the interviewer was rude to david

  • Fucking awesome!

  • What a fantastic clip. I watched this when it was broadcast... I'm really glad someone has put it up here for the archives =)

    Thanks for posting this video
