I must say that Nick is absolutly fantastic on Echoes, espesially live in Pompeii. It's incredible to watch him drum.

That was a tough one between Money and One Of These Days.
OFTD is absolutely awsome and the song woyld be rubbish without the drums as they are.
Money wins it due to the intensly weird drum beat itself. Not many people know, but I guess that you all do, that it is done in 7:4 timing. I aked my friend to tap along to it and they all lost their place as it goes 1,2 1,2 1,2,3
Magic!!

That was actually a tape loop. Nick probably only played a few seconds of it and it was then looped. He didn't play the entire time. Although on Roger's recent tour, the drummer, Graham Broad, played it for the entire length of the song.
I don't think that was the case. I think it was a built-in hi-hat sound on the synth they (Roger and Dave) were using. I don't think Rick or Nick played on On The Run at all.

You're probably right.

Lots of great moments to listen for with Nick, including all of those mentioned. "Time" is probably my favorite, followed closely by "One Of These Days". He tears it up pretty well towards the end of "Dogs" too.....after the line "You believe at heart everyone's a killer".

I wouldn't necessarily call a Wikipedia article "proof," but since the Pink Floyd Encyclopedia says the same thing, I think it's very likely true.
That David Gilmour is good at a lot of instruments; Roger Waters once joked that some of the bass-playing awards he's won should have gone to David--people often say "Man, Roger Waters plays great bass on Pigs 3DO/Hey You/Young Lust, etc," but those parts (and others) were actually Gilmour. The version of "Money" on "A Collection of Great Dance Songs" is said to be Dave playing EVERYTHING except for the sax, which is Dick Parry.
I'm pretty sure that's also Dave on drums (and everything else) on "The Narrow Way," too.
