I grew up in a very violent home but my stepdad had an electronics shop. I rebuilt his hardware so I had a decent stereo and two tall speakers. Meddle was the first album I ever loved. I'd face my speakers towards each other and play this track while lying on a pillow in the middle. It was my first taste of freedom. Bless them for this. It took me to a place so deep, I forgot it existed.

Now this is a Pink Floyd song I never thought anyone would cover.

[nathanwalker]

What a stunning version of this song. Kudos to you both.

[brandonmika]

Cannot describe how much I love these two. I’ve been fortunate enough to see them twice now, and this song live blew us away. I had to pick my sons chin up off the floor afterwards.

[canonfreeman]

This is my daily 19 minutes of peace. A perfect song.

[RyansChannel]

This is one of the greatest covers I've ever heard in my life. And it's a cover to one of the greatest Pink Floyd songs of all time. What more could you ask?

[Sc-tch]

So cosmic, and so intimate at once.

Too many famous acts are simply playing cover songs just like the original, like an overpaid bar band, but these beautiful people made it their own. Mucho respeto.

Echoes is one of the greatest rock tracks ever recorded. This is a great cover!

I went on a south pacific island holiday, excitedly carrying my brand-new mini disc player loaded with my favourite songs including the original Echoes.
I set up a lounger on the beach, tee’ d up the player with this marvellous piece of music, slipped on my headphones and was ready to visit another dimension.
The music was incredible, and I could feel my heart soaring with each new tempo, (almost) ready to cope with that amazing crescendo where you can truly feel at one with beautiful music.
I was within seconds of the moment and I am sure I was floating above the lounger when I suddenly heard
:
“Excuse me sir, would you like a drink from the bar?”
Completely shattered.
But this is a lovely interpretation.

I've been in love with this duo since I stumbled upon them in 2006. Any band that can do as good a job of Echoes as thy did of Metallica's Orion and Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven deserves the highest praise. They should do the entire Pink Floyd Animals album too!

Rodrigo y Gabriela + Pink Floyd = Combinacion Ganadora

[consuelosantamaria]

The music of heaven in the good hands of Rodrigo y Gabriela.

[trebor]

My favorite part was the transition section between the flock of seagulls and when the vocal melody comes back in. Perfectly captured the sound and feel of the original recording while at the same time bringing their own distinct sound to the music.

[shredderwill]

In my younger days I used to trip so hard listening to pinks Floyd’s echos and this brings me to a nice place. (Sober now)

[rezabadei]

I grew up with Pink Floyd from my childhood in Tehran, Iran. Fifty years flashed before my eyes with this beautifully performed cover song 🎼❤️
PS. NPR brought me here!

[coopfesta]

I love this duo. I travelled three hours on a weeknight to catch them in Rutgers. They come here so rarely! So worth it

Meddle was (and still is) an awesome album. I have heard others attempt to reproduce the magic of Pink Floiyd’s track - none have succeeded UNTIL NOW!! I have been following Rodrigo y Gabriella for a few years now and this version of Echoes is spellbinding. They haven’t simply tried to copy PF’s version but have put their own inimitable spin on the track. AMAZING. I keep watching and listening over and over again. Looking forward to the album release in April.

[benbrown]

My favorite Floyd tune, thank you for breathing new life into it. My late father's favorite as well. Play it loud so he can hear it please!

[Acceleronics]

I bought Meddle shortly after it was released, probably in early '72. Echoes is still one of my all-time favorite tracks. This is a tasty interpretation.

[sashabowers]

I saw them do this live in OKC 5 days ago. I'm still overwhelmed. I cried a little. My all time fav Pink Floyd song. Masterful interpretation.
