There is no Pink Floyd without Richard Wright

It's the little smiles that David gives Rick while they're playing, you can feel the love there. Rick was such a gentle soul and so sorely missed by all of us.

Starting with Paintbox couldn't be more perfect!! RIP Richard Wright

Missed by many ! Cry if need be, many will ....Richard will never be forgotten Rest in Peace Richard William Wright (28 July 1943 - 15 September 2008) was an English musician, composer, singer, and songwriter. He was a founding member, keyboardist, and vocalist of Pink Floyd, performing on all but one of their albums and playing on all of their tours. Wright grew up in Hatch End, Middlesex and met future Pink Floyd bandmates Roger Waters and Nick Mason while studying architecture at the Regent Street Polytechnic. After being joined by frontman and songwriter Syd Barrett, the group found commercial success in 1967. Barrett's instability led to him being replaced by David Gilmour and Wright taking over songwriting duties with Waters. Initially a straightforward singer/songwriter, Wright later acted as an arranger to Waters and Gilmour's compositions. He began to contribute less towards the end of the 1970s and left the band after touring The Wall in 1981. He rejoined the band as a session player in 1987 for A Momentary Lapse of Reason, and became a full-time member again for The Division Bell in 1994. Sessions with Wright during this period were later released on the album The Endless River. Away from Pink Floyd, Wright recorded two solo albums, including a collaboration with Anthony Moore on Broken China, and briefly formed the duo Zee. After rejoining Waters, Mason and Gilmour as Pink Floyd for Live 8 in 2005, he became part of Gilmour's regular solo touring band, singing occasional lead on songs such as "Arnold Layne", before his death in September 2008.

I want to thank you so much for this. This was an awesome video tribute. R.I.P. Richard - You are so very missed. My father introduced me to Pink Floyd. When I was 12. With the "Animals" album. My father passed away from cancer. So, every Father's Day. I play Pink Floyd all day.

I am so lucky to have lived as a young person during the 60’s and 70’s. Pink Floyd could always be counted on to put on a fantastic live show. They were the best live band EVER. Richard always seemed like a sweet and gentle person. I miss him. Loved the jazzy quality he provided with his playing. Bittersweet memories here. 💋

Rick is the heart and soul of Floyd. His work never got the recognition he deserved.

Rick is so underrated in pink floyd. As david put it, ricks contributions were the very foundation of the pink floyd sound and his composition was very important in the early years and further. The pink floyd sound would have never evolved nor progressed from album to album without him.

First bank i saw in the 70's in Tanglewood ma. Still my fav. Love yo guys forever. Thank you for a great gift.

Richard Wright. Always the humble genius.

Талант нельзя изменить, его можно только чувствовать, Pink Floyd опередил время на века. Возможно они сами не осознавали что пишут. Как гении, воспроизводит но не знают что. Они Велидшайшая группа не на одно десетелетье. Возможно в будущем, поймут всю многогранность их творчества. Это самая волшебная музыка.

Amazing 💕💗 Thank you! Richard Wright was so under rated as a musician, never given the credit he deserved by Roger Waters nor critics. Such an incredible contribution to both Pink Floyd and music. These selected songs are just a snippet of his amazing talent. I count myself fortunate to have seen him live on a few occasions. RIP🏵💖

Rick Forever... ♥️⚒️♥️

Totally unique sensation of music enough to take you away to a different planet.

I'd avoided the Great Gig In the Sky for almost a decade. The death of my mom, the death of my only child and all the other deaths not to mention my own cancer and complications of that, I was never given the chance to properly digest and grieve, so sure, I'll shed tears for Richard, but it's presently pouring out of me for so many other reasons too. Thank you for the post and that I finally gave myself the chance to watch it.

I wished their albums had more Richard wright songs, he , doing vocals.. very relaxing voice

From what I understand, Waters did eventually realize how vital Wright was for the band. Too late too save the band but fortunately not too late for them to come to terms with each other before Wright passed away.

Thanks to the good God, real music.

It's a Friday, just woke up and I hear this... weekend already :-)

Rick you have cheered my life for over fifty years and now I miss you a lot. 🌹 Impossible to replace yourself with another keyboard player because you are magical; very difficult to hold back the tears. Luckily, there is HDPinkFloyd and his great videos.

Simplesmente adoro todas as canções cantadas pelo Richard Wright! ❤️🎹🎶🎧

Such an amazing set of songs and performances. We really need a reissue of Broken China.

best (official) version of echoes ...great gig very emotionnal and the best part of shine on to finish this amazing video....RIP rick

Melody and harmony - yes yes yes? very-very good !!! BRAVO !!! Душа співає від такого виконання !!!

Out of 4 huge bands who all had multi-talented - multi-instrumentalist "quiet" members - ( who all gave up the spotlight to the larger egos at the front of the stage ) - Harrison for the Beatles - Brian Jones with the Rolling Stones - John Paul Jones with Led Zeppelin - and Richard Wright with Pink Floyd - it was Wright who was ( arguably ) the most important - and most "instrumental" to his band's success.

It was one of the most accessible early Floyd songs for me.

Ésto es oro puro!!!.mil gracias por compartir, saludos desde Argentina.

incredible

impeccable ty so much for the journey to space and back watching this

You will be forever in our hearts, Rick.

As David Gilmour says, Richard Wright was unique in Pink Floyd music and as a friend and no one can replace him. I believe in a group that has continually fought for themselves and for important political values ​​"the greats, the pimps, the indifferent towards a population that seems dormant and is duped by poisoned chocolates ...". Where is the desire to make room for ourselves, because we digest all that is needed to silence us, to be good, so that the "pigs" can act and consequently they maneuver us as they please. Have we become sheep ???? .... rock has an important role against this system ... Pink Floyd did it ... and still today they are political activists ... There is a pandemic .... but who the fuck wanted ?? ..Always Pink Floyd.

This is beautiful. Thanks for all you do, man!
