Fun Stuff

Trivia:

At the start of Echoes Part 1, you can hear three piano parts being played and once one part stops, Roger Waters is seen to move away from the Piano and set up his bass. This shows that Roger Waters was in fact playing the keyboard part. more

Goofs:

Continuity: In both parts of the song "Echoes", Nick Mason's sunglasses disappear and reappear a couple of times, indicating that the performance in Pompeii was filmed in sections rather than just one take. Or that there were two takes of the song and footage was used from both. more

Nick Mason: I'll have eggs, sausage, chips and beans, and a tea. more

Fantastic!, 28 May 2002
10/10
Author: Evelyn from Ontario, Canada

I absolutely love the Pink Floyd, but have been let down by Floyd-related things in the past, so I was quite wary of this movie. It managed to win me over, however, and now it's one of my favourites.

It was absolutely hysterical to see Mason go absolutely wild and smash his drums so hard that one of his sticks was flung off into the distance. It was amazing, how fast he managed to recover with a spare. Makes you wonder if he has some sort of quick release drum stick gadget hidden somewhere in his pants.

All in all, a fantastic piece. I highly recommend it!
