Why David Gilmour Will Never Play This Pink Floyd Song Again

This video explores the one song from Pink Floyd's back catalogue that David Gilmour refuses to play in live his solo shows. The reason why is a heart-breaking tribute to the late, great, Richard Wright.

Echoes, of course. All true PF fans know David won’t and can’t ever play it again due to the loss of Richard Wright. It’s sad but it also shows just how much this piece means to him and how it was a true duet between two great friends.

Richard Wright is the soul of pink floyd . R.I.P RICK...

[MarkRendle]

This is why Pink Floyd survived as Gilmour/Mason/Wright, because David understood that it was a team effort and Roger didn’t.

Rick was the glue that held Floyd together musically.

Gilmour said there were a number of Floyd songs he could never play again after Wright died, and I’ve heard that he’s not playing any pre-87 Floyd on his solo tour. And I support him. He has only so much time to play and he wants to concentrate on his solo career. The youngest Floyd songs from the Waters era are over forty years old now and they are probably ancient history for him. I wish him all the best.

The memories of a man in his old age...
Are the deeds of a man in his prime...

The first Floyd track I heard, in 1971, aged 15.
And it’s always been my ultimate favourite piece of Pink Floyd Music.
In the 2006 performance of Echoes from Gdańsk, you can feel David and Richard talking to each other with their instruments.
Magical. 🎶❤️🎶

As Gilmour announces tour dates for all over Europe. Hopefully, he comes to America. Echoes will be missed live!

Thank you, that was a lovely video! This show how M. Gilmour is a gentleman! For him, friendship and human relations are more important than the business. The fact that he choose M. Wright as a member of his band tells a lot. M. Gilmour could had chose anybody else but for him, he is the best. M. Wright sound is very influential on me since my teenage years. Oddly, the first that I heard was Piper at the gates of dawn. I liked that sound so much that I brought a Farfisa and plug a delay pedal for that early sounds that M. Wright made. I had never seen the video at the table when they discuss about Echoes! Thank you, tou made great video! 👍😎

The Live at Pompeii version still changes the weather.

I was listening to my local community radio station a few weeks ago and was thrilled to hear a live recording of Echoes. It was from the Live in Gdansk release. I suppose that must have been the last performance of this amazing piece of music. RIP Richard Wright.

Excellent video cheers for taking the time to put this together it's very much appreciated. As far as a favourite song goes I can't pick one I just love them all. I listen to a Floyd LP every day without fail since I first bought Dark Side of the Moon in 1973 they were a sensational band. I would go as far to say probably the best band the world has ever heard just a pity they fell out with each other but such is life I suppose.

Live in Gdańsk. That shows why! Incredible performance!

[paulsmith]

That is when dave gilmour and Richard Wright said goodbye to each other, due to Richard's cance, gilmour will never play echoes live again, R.I.P RIC WRIGHT

[Fitzpatrick]

R.I.P Mr. Richard William Wright Born: July 28, 1943, Hatch End, United Kingdom Died: September 15, 2008 (age 65 years), London, United Kingdom Mr. Richard Wright is the heart and soul of Pink Floyd

[Lizard-of-Oz]

Dave and Rick were never friends.. they were brothers. I’m sure part of the Gilmour’s separation with Waters, had to do with Roger firing Richard Wright at the wall album.

[peasie]

"Echoes" is the best song ever written. Not the "Best Pink Floyd song ever" - but the BEST SONG EVER written.

[jim-cvyg]

Dave once said that Rick and him seem to know what each one was notes were coming and played off each other. Just watch "live from Gdsank" and you hear then talking to each other with their instruments,

[whosrobertseed]

Some history is best left untouched, I can't stress that enough. Shining example here.
