Joe Satraini - Cool #9

After posting the Echoes tune earlier I couldn't help myself but to view the groundbreaking 1971 Pompeii video by Floyd.. a few times at the start of the new year, the new decade.

It's been about 7 years since I watched it in it's entirety. And all it did was confirm to me that it's by far the best music DVD ever made (or video/video tape ever made considering the time it was done).. either way, just Genius.

They were True Masters of Sound who approached music like a legendary painter paints his masterpieces... I'll always remember the documentary when the talked about how in the 1960's, when they were very young, how they would have the latest light projectors accompanied with strobes while writing in the attic - mentioning how they would paint the images they saw in their minds through those light images, painting those images with sound, through their instruments.... that's maybe why their concerts were so incredibly visual.. and why they give such fantastic mental imagery when listening with headphones with your eyes closed.

So ahead of their time.. legendary painters of sound.

Tool's version of No Quarter is the best Zeppelin cover I have heard..

Tool is probably the only band that can so seamlessly start with that acoustic sound, then to those underwater belly sounds intermingling with each other (timed to perfection with no wasted notes), and then to those winding and interweaving electric guitar sounds with notes that unravel within each other to crescendo (and at the same time like a flower blooming in fast motion) -- that spans from 5:06 to 6:16 in "No Quarter".. but mainly from 5:41 to 6:16.... A Classic Tool instrumental portion. Just beautiful

T.I. - Dead and Gone

[Acquisition]

Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and Richard Wright (who's on the keyboards in case you didn't know) performing 1971's "Echoes" for the final time together, before Wright's unfortunate passing in 2008.

Fasten your seat belts for 27 minutes of pure Awesomeness.. In my opinion this is easily one of the most magnificent tunes ever written in music history... They were genius Master painters of sound, as I said before.. This is TIMELESS.. A mirror of Human Consciousness and it's condition.. Now THIS is a song... sheer epic beauty... a blissful euphoria of symphony..This is Musicianship.... This is Legend.. THIS is Music!

David Gilmour - Astronomy Domine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QArBbvj68lw

^^ Pink Floyd's first Track from their first album in 1967 ( The Piper At The Gates of Dawn)

I get the same quizzical "Lost for words" look on my face as Gilmour has on his face at the very end of the song in the video there. LOL. Mind bending beautiful stuff. Timeless.. Just awesome !!

Seriously though, look at Gilmour's face himself at the end of the vid. The look of being floored. And I can't blame him, I get the same look of awe after (and while) listening to Floyd's timeless genius.

No words in world or human language to describe. Only in a higher dimension, more advanced.
