I'm 71 next week, and like many other people I find Pink Floyds music brings out the emotional side of me. I have a fantastic family, 4 sons, two beautiful grandchildren (and another on the way!)and a loving wife, but Floyd bring back so many memories of my life, from when I was a teenager through to now. The memories of the sixties and seventies are so vivid at times, and watching this performance with dear Rick Wright and David working so well together, bring those memories flooding back. I find it hard to put my feelings into words, but I watched those last few minutes with tears rolling down my cheeks. Life past can make you so happy, but at the same time so sad. Sorry for being a big softy!!

That opening B "ping" is one of the most iconic sounds in all of music.
We miss you, Rick!

A very sad ending, two old friends saying goodbye to each other, expressing their love with their music. RIP Richard Wright, you were the soul of Pink Floyd.

I was 18 when I saw the movie Pink Floyd at Pompei in 1972. This piece of music has never ceased to move me ever since. I'm 69 now and get never get enough of it. It's like a great painting by a Master.

Rick Wright was to Pink Floyd what George Harrison was to the Beatles, The obscure and quiet important member but so much underrated.

[SSJrocks]

David has refused to perform Echoes without Rick as he stated it wouldn't feel right without him. I couldn't agree more. Echoes is without a doubt Rick's ultimate masterpiece.

To me, this is the best performance of 'Echoes' ever. There are no words to describe this beautiful performance...RIP, Mr. Wright.

David and Richard singing together is one of life's true joys

I'm 72, but I'll never be too old for Pink Floyd's music. They will always be my favorite band!!!

Gilmour said: "It would be lovely to play Echoes here, but I wouldn't do that without Rick. There's something that's specifically so individual about the way that Rick and I play in that, that you can't get someone to learn it and do it just like that. That's not what music's about."

Seems fair

There are no words to describe this beautiful performance...RIP, Mr. Wright

Some people claims "Echoes" is Floyds best work. And I can absolutely see where they're coming from. It is a true timeless masterpiece. And WHAT an incredible performance this was. RIP Rick. You were the salt of the band.

When the audience knows a song after 1 know it's a masterpiece.

[tagaudi]

It is not possible to explain what it meant to hear this way back in the seventies, growing up. This was the Quantum Physics of music

[Kurokom]

I love how in the crowd no one jumps or move around, they just stand there admiring the art and it’s creators.

[calvinhobbes]

PF's ability to almost note-for-note reproduce their music on stage certainly isn't lost here. Love this performance. God rest you, Rick Wright. Each of you boys pretty much musically DEFINED my life.

The year was 1983. I was in college. Got hold of this album on cassette for my Walkman. Was a warm summer night. Took my sleeping bag up on the terrace. The sky was blazing with millions of stars. Lay down, stared up in space, hit the play button and became one with the cosmos. I remember it so well, after almost 40 years.

Finally had a chance to sit back and listen to my fav Floyd song, and read though many of your comments,
so many great words to describe your feelings of this masterpiece.
Rick plays his heart out here, your missed, never forgotten
Keep safe out there everyone

[XCELERATIONRULES]

A lifetime of Pink Floyd.
RIP Richard.
