Pink Floyd
Final Performance of 'Echoes' by Pink Floyd featuring Richard Wright - Full Concert
The live recording titled "Final 'Echoes' performance with Richard Wright" captures a poignant moment in Pink Floyd's legacy, occurring on July 6, 2006, during the last leg of the band's extensive reunion concert at the British Live 8 event. Prior to this performance, Pink Floyd had released "The Endless River" in 2014, an album largely based on material recorded during the sessions for "The Division Bell" in 1994. Interestingly, this live rendition marked one of the final appearances of Richard Wright with the band before his passing later that year. David Gilmour's statement about not performing "Echoes" without Wright underscores the deep bond and integral role Wright played within the group, especially in the composition's haunting soundscapes. This performance stands as a testament to the band's rich history and the emotional connection they shared as members, further highlighting the significance of Wright's contributions to their iconic sound.
