With a band like Pink Floyd, on the other hand, I'd bet that most of their true fans would put Echoes among their top 10 Floyd songs (and they would be correct, but that's a separate discussion).
Maybe that's why when you see SY live, there's not a single song that they feel obligated to play. Whereas a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert without Freebird or Sweet Home Alabama would be unthinkable.

Sidebar: Obviously cover bands are trite sad circuses, but I always thought it would be fun to do a Floyd cover band exclusively focused on their pre-
Dark Side material, second set culminating in
Echoes. Book gigs exclusively in natural/ancient ampitheaters.
