yah you know that’s how people judge musicians today. If you can play a 30 sec note pattern on the double kick pedal then all of sudden your greatest ever. back then the drummer played what went with the music, like how ringo starr played simple beats but that doesn’t mean they’re unable to play anything else because they can do amazing things. If you put any famous drummer today up against any of the old school ones, the old school one would destroy them.
@cliche44 I totally agree how can anyone say he was not AMAZING, foolish to say that he isn’t even a great drummer. He is an original just like every member of Pink Floyd. Love his stuff, it was right on every time!
i disagree, nick mason is an AMAZING drummer his fill ins are the best you could ever hear, and he played the perfect drum riffs for the band and just cuz he didnt play fast doesnt mean he wasnt great because if he did play fast then pink floyd’s songs would never have given off the same vibe that you get from their songs and the drum patterns that nick plays are one of the hardest too

1. he’s not exactly a great, even good, drummer
2. pink floyd didn’t need a great, even good, drummer
3. he was in the right place at the right time in 65′
4.he was surrounded by waters, gilmour, wright and barrett- some genius must have rubbed off on him
5. i’m a jealous bastard. bahhhhhhhhhhhhh
if you look at other videos of the same performance, it certainly looks like richard wright, but it doesnt sound at all like him, far too energetic and loud
I can’t really tell. Is it Rick Wright playing the organ solo or is it Pete Woods the other keyboard player? To me, it doesn’t quite sound like Rick’s soloing style, while at the same time, looking at the guy on the Wurlitzer, the way the guy is moving, bending his knees while banging out chords playing “rhythm keyboard” if you will, to me that doesn’t seem to be Rick’s style either. Maybe it is Rick on organ, and I should just shut my mouth.
I’m sorry but the clapton wannabe solo is horrible. I understand letting the guy play some rhythm in the background, but damn, the tone and performance of that is just out of character with the artistry of the rest of it. Makes me wince every time- is it snowy shaw, or what’s his name? Ugh that’s a trainwreck in the middle of a masterpiece.

Nicholas Berkeley Mason looks like on acid

Roger Waters voice is one of the prime reasons what made this album so successful
May 16th, 2010 at 5:12 pm
First Fender, than Gibson… so fast change that I even couldn’t notice.
May 16th, 2010 at 5:53 pm
Rick is playing the solo !
May 16th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
Man, I’d love it if they could find the rest of the concert footage and remaster it

Yea the solo is a little out of character BUT it takes a lot more than that to screw up a great song like this its still an awesome video
May 16th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
Звук очень понравился!)

@hirvi93
Compression + Light Distortion. I think. That’s what i use on my Les Paul for this solo. It sounds ok i reckon.
May 16th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
What effects David is using there?
May 16th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
Musica a questi livelli non ne sentiremo piu’,mettiamoci l’anima in pace,purtroppo.
May 16th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
@juanzz412 Yes, David Gilmour used a Les Paul for the solo for this song. But for the rhythm guitar part, he used his Stratocaster.

I would like to…

yep it looks as though he starts with strat and picks up the second solo with a les paul. Prefer the strat myself for this
