I liked very very much the version on Live At Pompeii, but I liked as much and the version at Wembley. I can not select, both are masterpieces. Of course the version on Live in Gdansk was a wonderful version.

RE: Favorite version of Echoes?
Since the PTB at YouTube upped the limit videos can run, a lot of Pink Floyd's longer songs can be viewed/listened to through one video, rather than multiple parts. Here are some of my favorite live versions of Echoes, as performed by the band (rather than David solo on his OAI tour):

Linser Auditorium, Washington D.C., November 16, 1971

LA Sports Arena, Los Angeles, April 26, 1975

Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY, June 17, 1975

Pompeii or Gdansk is the greatest version, and that's mostly because of the buildup about 14 minutes in is done, IMHO, much better than the studio version. And that mostly due in part to Rick Wright's wonderful playing.

Rest in Peace, Billy Mays

I like the version from the Wembley London show. It's a nice wrap-up to the Dark Side of the Moon. The Pompeii version is equally as awesome.

I like the original recording, especially Mason's drums.

I've started listening more and more to the Wembley version mentioned above...it's really growing on me. Definitely a different take on the song, but not necessarily in a bad way
