The first time I ever took mushrooms I was introduced to Live at Pompeii and that opening track and it was spiritual. Anytime I listen to echoes I have happy memories
I had a video tape of this that I wore through. I played it hundreds of times.
What’s interesting lately is that when watching the new Beatles documentary, Get Back, they talked over and over about having a concert in a stadium like this. It wasn’t Pompeii though. I just wonder if somehow the ideas are related, like Pink Floyd heard the idea and decided they liked it, or it was just their own. Either way, it’s brilliant.
Simply on another level!

Probably my favorite song of all time although atom heart mother is quite something too

I wish Rick Wright sang lead vox on more of their songs
My mom drove me to see this at the midnight show when I was in HS. Thanks, mom.
