CELESTIAL VOICES PINK FLOYD UMMAGUMMA FULL

The Pompeii version is terrific, with some gorgeous cosmic violin guitar from Dave and some major gong smashing from Roger.Īpril 29, 1970, Fillmore West is incredible, with a guitar riff from Dave at the end that reminds me of an Ennio Morricone soundtrack. The studio version is pretty decent, but this piece really came to life when performed live. it represents a furious (possibly outer space) battle.

Oldpink from New Castle, InThe description that Roger Waters gave for what this piece conveys is accurate, i.e.

Lauderdale, FlThe Pompeii version is truly a spectacle (to see and hear)Just amazing. Can anybody confirm whether this is a pipe organ. It has a fullness of sound that makes this piece huge. The organ at the beginning sounds like it may be a pipe organ. One of my favorites is that recorded at Concertgebouw as part of "The Man and the Journey" concept on 17 September 1969. Many phenomenal versions can be found by searching the internet. The combination of avante garde mixed with a classical song structure and the mastery of each of the Pink Floyd members make it a piece I can listen to over and over again.

Wyomarus from Boston, MaThis song is an amazing work.

I am partial to the Fillmore West version from April 29, 1970.Īlso, I second the "battle" interpretations of the piece, although I wonder what that has to do with the title!

As others have suggested, the best live versions of the piece are from 19, and appear on bootlegs. Wright's limiting himself solely to tone clusters on the piano during the "Syncopated Pandemonium" section does not help. The "Pompeii" version is much too harsh and rushed sounding, for my tastes. In the main, the studio version has a haunting quality that the live rave-ups, however powerful and worthwhile in their own right, tend to lack.Īmong the live versions, I am again a contrarian. Parts of it rate with the best of the "serious" electroacoustic music of the time, and the mournful "Celestial Voices" section with organ and choir, to me, works much better than the rock band version with Gilmour's solo voice wailing. It is much more subtle and complex than any of the live versions.

Kevin from Dallas, AkI think that the studio version of the piece remains the best, myself.they and the Beatles around those times created rock in its most dark and philosophical form. the five musicians are masters of their respective art. i love all the songs except corporal clegg & see saw. Mreenal from Darjeeling, Indiaanother beautiful song.In fact, there is footage of Rick Wright himself playing the organ at Royal Festival Hall during rehearsals. I can also confirm that the recordings of "The Man & The Journey" at the Royal Festival Hall and the Royal Albert Hall both feature real pipe organs. In fact, you can get a really good look at it (it's huge) on the Wikipedia page for the venue.

Oldpink from Farmland, InTo Wyomarus, Boston, MA, I can definitely confirm that it is indeed a full pipe organ you hear on the Concertgebouw recording.

CanadaI thought maybe this particular song title had something to do with Pompeii and the history of this ancient city.
