"The time had come for the reason everyone is here tonight, the full twenty-three-minute performance of the Floyd masterpiece that is 'Echoes' from the 1971 album 'Meddle'! One of my favourite Floyd songs of all time. 'Echoes' is the point in which the Floyd sound was fully developed and realised, paving the way for what became the 'Dark Side of the Moon' album. A monumental piece that takes the listener through various moods with juxtaposing tempos and grooves. The original mellifluous vocal harmonies were that of David Gilmour and Richard Wright, at this performance Kemp and Pratt had that unenviable task, but I am pleased to say they both did a sterling job." That was part of our take on Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets gig at the Royal Albert Hall in London from April (Video Of The Day), and consequently the legendary Pink Floyd drummer's band has been voted 'Best Tribute', in our 2022 WRC Awards.
