Echoes was Side Two of Meddle.
A person just Hasn't Lived until they have heard Echoes with a Pair of Good Headphones.
Big Heavy Koss Headphones. Preferably in the Middle of the 70's.

I know it was side 2. Great song, I just like the clean sound from cassette (or CD now). But yeah, those old heavy headphones were great. ALL Pink Floyd is incredible that way. Ever listen to Black Sabbath's first album that way? I got an all new appreciation for Iommi from that even if the engineer is the one who mixed the stereo effects.
We have a turntable and LPs. A few weeks ago, hubby and I were chilling on the couch, listening to some Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, enjoying cocktails and just relaxing. Our kids were in the living room with us. At the end of the album, my husband got up, flipped over the album and started playing the other side.
Our teenage son looked incredulously at us and asked, "You mean, you can play BOTH sides?"
Ah, the joys of middle age!
I didn't get into Sabbath all that much. It wasn't bad, I just went for Mellower things. Like The Moody Blue or Yes.
Tom Petty used to have fun with that. On one of his CD's/cassettes, at the end of one of his songs his voice comes on saying something to the extent of "For those of you listening to this on cassette, you now have to get up, walk across the room and turn it over. (pause for a moment on CD or after pushing play on side 2) Thank You.
The Wildflowers CD had printed on it "Side 1".
Hi Racehorse!!
Here's the billboard I mentioned before to you:

I have some Very Fond Memories of going down the 5 and spending a day at Del Mar. An Beautiful Track. "Where the Turf Meets the Surf'.

CSN was a Staple of mine as a Teenager. Amazing how good it still Sounds after all this Time.

A friend of mine has teenagers and one of her sons had a friend over. She asked the kid to get some ice and he just stared at the ice cube tray, unable to process.
Even so, you may be able to appreciate it on headphones for a at least a one time thing. The second half of the album has a lot of guitar work with no other instruments which keeps moving from speaker to speaker giving the feeling of a guitar duel. I'd give you a particular song name to try out on youtube but every release of that album seems to have a different lineup of song names and in the case of CD the songs begin at different points because it's more of overlapping and bouncing around on songs.
I like these puppies a lot. I was worried that the extra bass would make things sound distorted, but they actually perform the best with acoustic music. They are super comfy!

My current headphones are Sony also, but different model. There is something in Sony's circuitry that I like. Even without the music doing speaker tricks I love hearing classical guitar on on those. Andrew York is amazing if you like acoustical - elements of classical and jazz, if either of those are your thing. To start with him try the song "Sunburst".
Just get yourself a PROVARI ... THEN THE WORLD WILL BE ALL RIGHT
haha, indeed. Which in this extended metaphor is like going into buy a couple 40s and someone telling you that you really should be buying a magnum of dom.

That's a good piece, never heard it. Not enough symphonies that allow the cello to really do what it is capable of. I looked up information on that soloist, apparently 4 years after that she started having issues playing and was diagnosed with MS. Pretty sad.
Classical guitar is definitely different from most other music forms with the word classical in them. Perhaps it's the strong Italian influence . There were some composers like Paganini who wrote symphonies on guitar. Even those have a different element than most of what people know these days.
The song I mentioned (he doesn't actually get to that song until 2:13 - 2:15 and the opening song is not quite as good)
That is considered the best interpretation of that piece ever recorded. The conductor was her husband. There was a film made about her life with her sister (who is a violinist) called Hilary and Jackie based on a memoir written by her sister that all of her friends and her husband deny is accurate.
Koss Pro4AA is the Provari of headphones. Just get them.
Once you have them, you must play Axis: Bold as Love at high volume

They don't look as comfy as the Sonys
I hated those curly cords!!! From about 12 to 20 I had headphones permanently attached to my head and I was always getting tangled up.- Status
