Fearless

"Fearless," the third track off of Pink Floyd's 1971 pre-Dark Side masterpiece Meddle. The last track of said album, "Echoes," was used as the soundtrack to a short film, also called Echoes, which was shot and edited by George Greenough in 1973. It consists entirely of in-the-tube and in-the-wave shots, which Greenough was an early pioneer of. The film was put on the end of David Elficks's 1973 film Crystal Voyager, which is an amazing surf film that chronicles Greenough building a 37-foot sailboat and then sailing it around California, surfing uncrowded breaks. The film also has scenes of Greenough kneeboarding and his buddy Nat Young surfing, among others. I have it in .avi format if anyone wants it, I think it's tough to find on VHS or DVD. Here is the film Echoes, in three parts (due to YouTube's size limit).







The word is that Pink Floyd made a deal with Greenough allowing him to use the song for his film if they could use the film as a backdrop during live performances of the song. Amazing.
