In a private, unpretentious and subtle event, Richard Wright said goodbye to “Echoes.” The quiet keyboardist of the famous band Pink Floyd, although not very recognized, gave the group a touching, vital and magical touch to the sound of their songs.
After his jazz training and musical education, it was to be expected that Wright would develop an extraordinary sense for composition. Because, although he is not known much, the keyboardist contributed great elements to Pink Floyd’s music.
One of the most recognized cases was “Echoes”, a song that emerged from experimental methods and some happy accidents such as the “ping” sound. Like other Wright compositions, this tune is a showcase for Gilmour’s soaring solos and delicate rhythm.
That’s why this latest filmed performance is an epic performance. Completing the virtues of this musical talent, Wright entangles us in his deep knowledge of instruments. In retrospect, nothing has been as moving as what this video shows.
The magic has been recreated and “Echoes” returns to us like never before seen. This is the last time that fans will be able to live the experience of seeing Pink Floyd or a version of them on another stage.
