Pink Floyd - at Pompeii 'Echoes '

Pink Floyd performing at the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy. Although the band perform a typical live set from the era, there is no audience beyond the basic film crew.
The main footage in and around the amphitheatre was filmed over four days in October 1971, using the band's regular touring equipment, including studio-quality 16-track tape recorders. Additional footage filmed in a Paris television studio the following December was added for the original 1972 release.

R.I.P. Rick Wright. Thank you for being part of so much magic.

Every piece played at Pompeii was the best version of that song.
I just love watching Nick; the man is a bloody metronome in the midst of melodic chaos

[panajotispanajotatos]

This film changed my life. I first watched at the age of 13. It made me love PF, then start play the guitar and finally form a band.
When I die I want this song to be played at my tomb. Eternal music.

Almost 50 years since this song was written... and their voices have been sounding the same in despite all this decades. R.I.P Richard Wright. Love you David Gilmour

[LYRICS]

Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
An echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one called us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's
Something stirs and something tries
Starts to climb toward the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand
The best I can
And no one called us to the land
And no one crosses there alive
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun
Almost…

[hammondvoodoo]

Epic song, epic arena, one of THE magic moments in rock history. Retrospectively, the timing couldn't have been any better.

The first time I saw this was at a series of late night screenings at our local cinema many, many years ago. The following week, Led Zep, The Song Remains the Same. Good times my friends, good times.

1979, I'm 17, dropped a bunch of very clean acid and saw this in a theater near Chicago, big sound system. I was not a big Pink Floyd fan BEFORE that but I sure was AFTER seeing this. Still am, all these years later.

[CintiaTavares]

It gives me a deep peace.... I don't know why but I love it ♡

[oscarbarahona]

THIS IS THE CURE FOR WHAT EVER . THIS IS THE BEST MEDICINE. THIS MÚSIC CURE EVERYTHING

[MrShahid]

All the gods were probably watching this gig from the sky

[RodLD]

The master piece of Pink Floyd, of music, and every art

[gennabingochea]

This band deserved every bit of success they aquired. Beautiful men, . musicians. Absolute joy for the eyes and ears

[paulkersey]

They were "social distancing" 48 years before it became fashionable!

[smsmoof]

After all these years ... (standing ovation).
Perfect.

[nelsar]

I don't care who disagreeS with me but this is Pink Floyd's best song
