Please check out Pink Floyd “echo’s” live in Pompeii
Amazing song and haunting video.
Lives for a first time listening is wrong, in my opinion. The rest of us had to listen to the studio. That’s just how it’s supposed to be. Then listen to a live, and they screw around with it sometimes, or can’t get it there vocally or whatever. Lives are great when you’re tired of the original, in my opinion.
I can’t suffer anymore, I cry and I write. I have written to much, I have cried so much…Tired of this fight. But tonight, not alone I chose to be. a new light I have found. You and I … yes With Me…we picked ourselves off the ground. Ian-Patrick.
this on of my total favored song
The cerebra band of rock!
Pelo amor dos meus filhinhos , que mania vcs tem de cortar a música no meio , isso é inaceitável 
Pink Floyd live is great. No doubt.
But the studio versions are better.
Always. As good as the Pulse version of PF’s “Comfortably Numb” is, the original album version is still better.
More powerful. Cleaner. Perfect.
I think a great series would be reacting to each song from “The Wall” in order maybe even a review of the movie
Syd (Roger) Barret was later diagnosed with schizophrenia. No drugs didn’t help but the disease was starting to take over before he left the band.
Absent friends…
You need to watch Rodger waters “In the Flesh” and listen to his version of the song. I think your too young to really know how Pink Floyd affected people that were there. There was different kinds of drugs that are not around anymore.
I hate the live version. Years later, not original artist. Not subscribing to fakes.
It’s fascinating to me how people don’t just factually and straightforwardly say Syd had schizophrenia. He had a serious brain disease i.e. serious mental illness. You’ll hear most articles say it was LSD induced schizophrenia or psychosis, but in reality there are always preexisting issues that are causing the drug use. Drug use was a huge part of the culture of the time, but not all had schizophrenia. Syd unfortunately got it, not because of the drugs, but because he was predisposed to it.
its the best riff on a guitar.
I see it a little different. I think it is more of a cry to your friend/loved one to stop doing the same old thing. Swimming in the same old fish bowl, year after year. Get out of the fish bowl and see what is on the outside. There is so much more world. Wish you were here.
Every time this song comes on, I cry. I cant help it. My daughter passed away five years ago at the age of 18. She was doing the same stupid things that I did at her age. Drugs, alcohol, partying. But she had the determination to always do more than dad did. And it cost her, her life. Then three years ago, my oldest sister passed away. We had no idea that she was in a bad mental place. After her husband, who was like my big brother passed from cancer. She just kept chugging on, but inside she was falling apart. Mentally and physically. We didnt find out till after her passing from a massive heart attack that she had let her world slip away. She went to work every day as a nurse and would run errands with our parents. But when she got home she would just sit in the only spot left in her house that wasnt covered in accumulated trash.
So this song makes me cry. Because they were doing the same, swimming in the fish bowl. God I wish they were here.
beautiful thoughts of death.
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead roll in a cage - refers to Vietnam war. Avoid the draft, refuse to serve & be sentenced to jail or be drafted & serve in the military not likely to even see combat.
The original frontman Syd Barrett literally fried his brain on LSD till he lost his mind and never came back to reality. He ended up spinning many years in an insane asylum. The band Pink Floyd always made sure that him and his parents were taken care of. To this day. You should do a reaction to the whole album the wall. They created it as a concept album. A lot of it is maybe what was going through Sid’s mind as he was slowly losing touch with reality.
It’s always better, for me anyway, to listen to the studio version before the live.
CAn you do a reaction to Fear (acoustic) by Blue October…you want to hear pain listen to their songs
