November of 1971 I'm 18 still living at home, it's Saturday, Dad expects help in the yard but I convince Mom that I'm sick and need to spend the day in my room. I drop acid and spend the day (or a lifetime on the floor) between my stereo speakers and that was first time I heard Echoes and it became a part of me. Now at 67 the music is still just as devastating as ever. Rodrigo y Gabriela, you've made an old man cry tears of joy. Soul to Soul, much love, Jeff

I had a similar experience at 15, and spent a good two hours of my trip listening, then playing along with, Echoes, and the entire Meddle album really. It’s still the one I return to most often.

They borrowed it - owned it - and gave it back with interest.

I didn’t ask for it, but I’m very glad this appeared in my suggestions.

This has got to be one of the most ambitious covers I've ever seen attempted, let alone by a guitar duo. Anybody expecting a perfect, note-for-note duplication of Floyd's original composition knows nothing about recording technology. Two 6-string guitars cannot possibly reproduce the efforts of a multi-tracked 4-piece band that honed the tracks for months in a rehearsal space. But the spirit of the composition certainly is there, and I heartily recommend this stellar interpretation! Thank you, R&R! We love you!

It is a beautiful *interpretation* of the PF original. Have you ever heard Beethoven played on instruments actually available to orchestras of his time? It's quite different.

The first time I heard of Rodrigo y Gabriela they were the opener for Gomez at the Warfield. The lighting guy I was working with found out I play classical guitar, and he suggested I check out their opening act. He said they were a smoking duo that I didn't wanna miss. Come showtime, I skeptically went out into the house to see what he was talking about. At that time there were maybe 50 people in the whole theater. After they finished their first tune, nobody in the audience applauded right away; everyone just stood there with their jaws on the ground in total awe of what they had just seen. It took me a minute to wrap my head around what I had just seen. Needless to say, my mind was blown. I still feel like I owe that lighting guy something for introducing me to them because if he hadn't said anything I would've just slept through their set like I normally do.

I am sitting in a dirt trucker’s parking lot on the Colorado River across from the casinos in Laughlin NV thinking about a good sunset playlist for later this evening. I think I need to set aside 20 minutes for this one.

As a lifelong Floyd fan (since 1972) I used to think their more out-there and symphonic works could never be covered. I'm happy to have been proven wrong in so many ways, not least because it shows that their music lives on and continues to inspire new generations. I never imagined I'd hear Echoes (my all-time favourite track) performed flamenco style, but the two of you have achieved this in a way that honours the original work and takes it to new places. Thank you, and all the best for your future endeavours.

Meddle - a vastly underrated album which I was lucky enough to hear in preview and to introduce the band! I messed the intro up as I thought it was roadies behind me and Gilmour had to gently tell me they were ready ... but they played a blinder! Still probably one of my top Floyd albums. I think side one of Atom Heart Mother is also neglected.

I've heard Echoes by Pink Floyd hundreds of times since the day 'Meddle' was released . My opinion is that these two guitarists have attempted something quite different and ambitious here . But it's an entirely different animal -that in no way can measure up to the original . There are parts here and there that I do quite like . Top marks for your effort - Cheers !

I am what you may call a Pink Floyd Purist - and the idea of a Floyd cover is not something that I easily embrace, but this piece is so well done and highly spirited. Simply fantastic. Thanks for sharing this.

ambitious, audacious, brilliant

you two are just incredible. nice reimagining of this classic Floyd tune.

This gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes with sheer joy. Mesmerising. It's probably the only time I've really, really enjoyed somebody covering anything by PF and the fact that it was THIS track, one so important to me personally (major love affair and upheaval back inthe 70's when Echoes was my soundtrack) just blew me away. What else can I say except - Thank You. You guys are amazing! Peace and Love.

Far out, smashing live cover of Echoes on guitars a la Tubular Bells! Gracias!

Absolutely the best rendition I have ever heard.

Lo que acaban de hacer es hermoso, ya tiene tiempo que los escucho y los sigo en redes, se me hacen excelentes e increíbles, pero después de escuchar esta versión de Echoes, me volaron la cabeza, nunca había escuchado una versión que mantuviera el alma el drama, el espíritu, y la intensidad, sin caer en copiarla nota por nota, si no desde su perspectiva, me estremecieron en serio, esto me provoca querer escuchar todos y cada uno de sus discos, a detalle, a corazón, gracias por erizarme el cuero cabelludo.

Echoes has been one of my favorite Floyd songs since I first heard it around 1985 or so. I believe this is a song that is meant to be felt rather than listened to. These two talented musicians achieved that in an amazing way without half the instruments used in the original composition. I can't even imagine how long it took for them to develop this. Absolutely amazing!

At a loss of words to describe how good this is.

Wow. I've never heard the keyboard and vocal parts played on guitar before!

Thanks a lot for sharing. Great version and performance of this Pink Floyd classic. Best wishes, Andi 🎸🕊

Thank you so much Rodrigo y Gabriela for continuously bringing beauty into the world. Your music and presence is a gift, especially in difficult times. It's been great hanging out with two brilliant souls.
