Richard Wright RIP / Careful with That Axe, Eugene at Pompeii

by jay · 2008 09 15 12 03 ·

I haven't thought about Richard Wright in a long time.

He died today, and it reminded me that I used to listen to Pink Floyd a lot as a kid—around the time I was first becoming a keyboardist. Wright is someone whose playing I really listened to when I first was learning how to listen.

RIP Rick Wright.

That's Pink Floyd's Careful with That Axe, Eugene, performed live at Pompeii.

I love Echoes from the movie you got that clip from. His Hammond playing in the middle jam section of that song is awesome. he will surely be missed. I posted a tribute at my blog too, at http://isorski.blogspot.com/2008/09/pink-floyds-richard-wright-passes-at-65.html.

Thanks for your comment, Isorski. “Echoes” is definitely my favorite part of that movie.

Been good listening to the classic Floyd tunes you two have posted. I am sure Eugene was a spooky song to hear in their day.


This is an interesting blog. How does the Wrong thing work out?
