The best band in the world gets the best backup singers in the world.
As others have said, the album version from Dark side of the moon is one person Clare Torry a session singer she was asked to improvise and to think of her voice as an instrument she did two takes on the third she said that she couldn't improve so left it at that, the band thanked her she thought they did not like it until she saw her name on the album, she was only paid the standard session fee but latter sued and is now credited as the song writer along with Richard Wright. Although the three backup singers Sam Brown, Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine did an absolutely outstanding Job the original version is one of a kind that cannot be repeated even Clare could not do it Justis live it was a one-off moment in time. a must listen for any Floyd fan
Good one.
It's about the various stages of coming to realize that you are dying.
The original is amazing with Clare Torry. Clare was a session singer. She got called into the studio on a Sunday morning. She got to just go for it with no lyrics. And go for it she did. I think it was 2 takes.
The 3 singers in the Pulse concert were Samantha Brown, Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontain. R.I.P Claudia 😔 The first singer was Sam Brown
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this!
The Pink Floyd guys are different in so many ways and you can see that just looking how they dress to play a concert with no frills or crazy outfits! In other words they are different because they let everyone of their extra musicians or singers have their moments on stage so there are no ego problems in this band or this tour!!! I can just imagine how wonderful it is to go on a tour with a group like that where nobody feels like they're lesser than anyone else!
Studio version is one person Claire Tori and she absolutely kills it because you just never seem to be able to outdo the original!!! The three ladies did a wonderful job but Claire Tori is the GOAT when it comes to this song. On top of that everyone tries to copy what Claire did for Dark Side of the Moon on a whim when she decided to make her voice sound like another instrument and came up with the Great gig in the sky vocalizing on her own!! Additionally, after many years she finally got a writing credit after going to court. Nobody was mad at one another during the court proceedings it was just done for legality!! She originally only got paid 30 lbs but David and Nick Mason ran into her later found this out and were appalled and wrote her a check on the spot. Later she went to Court to get the writing credit and she got a few more dollars which was undisclosed!
" Who is that?" That is Sam Brown. Incredible voice.
Thanks for letting me know.
@@SaeedReacts. Followed by Durga McBroom and last but in no way least Claudia Fontaine, who sadly is no longer with us. Durga has collaborated with Pink Floyd and Gilmour on other live and studio projects
This song is about dying and going through the stages of first being confused and angry about it, straight on through to excepting and coming to terms with it, to finally being completely at peace with it. Each of the 3 lovely lady singers each portrays aspects of the stages.
Thanks for shedding some light on that 🙏🏽
@@SaeedReacts. you're welcome brutha! Keep up the great work.
The stories about the recording of this song could probably fill many pages. And as good as the live version is, the atmosphere of the studio recording and the singer's voice are on a completely higher level
How are they SO EFFORTLESSLY GOOD???
It's called The Pink Floyd Experience!
Sam Brown, has had top twenty singles and albums, friend and ukulele partner of George Harrison; sang Horse to Water at his memorial concert. Daughter of 50/60s pop star Joe Brown.
@@bennyfactor1 it's a shame she lost her voice and had to put her career on pause. She was quite a talent
On the album, this song follows the classic track, Time, and is a poignant segue from life into death. This song articulates the stages of grieving
Studio version is the one and only
I grew up in the 70’s and always listened to Pink Floyd and Dark Side of the Moon is a masterpiece
This is an amazing song it's about grieving death and the different emotions you go through it's especially awesome when it's heard in sequence on the album after Time. I love that Pink Floyd showcases their back up vocalists in this way live it's amazing to watch and hear. These guys are incredible musicians and songwriters always put on a great show. Great reaction thank you.
Thanks so much for letting me know about the subject matter. Will listen to the studio version with this in mind.
The original song is on Pink Floyds Epic 1973 album, The Dark Side of The Moon, Clare Torry is the name of the British singer that Pink Floyd hired for just this song. She did three takes and the band took parts of all three takes to make the final cut, (pun intended).
Torry was asked to sing some wordless vocals inspired by Life and Death, the band was very firm there would be no words whatsoever, not even a "yeah". Clare Torry toured with Floyd in the 1980s.
The Dark Side Of The Moon album is one of the greatest albums of all time, over 60 million copies sold, and still counting. The iconic album is in the top five of virtually every "greatest albums lists" ever compiled.
Thanks for taking the time to share some info. Its weird that i know of this album and its iconic status, but actually never heard most of it.
An important feature of Dark Side turns out to be these little bits of sentences that can be heard throughout the album. They provide answers that are sometimes evasive, sometimes explicit, to the themes addressed in the songs. During recording sessions, cards hit with trivial questions were displayed on a desk at the entrance of Studio 3.
Questions like "What is your favorite color?" or “favorite dish?” ", before being more focused on the synopsis of the record like "Why are you frightened of dying?"
All regulars parading at Abbey Road Studios were then invited to turn over one of these cards and provide a response.
On this song we hear the response of (Gerry O'Driscoll, doorman at Abbey Road studio).
"And I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime".
I’m loving your Pink Floyd Journey. I’m a PF fan for 50 years now.
Been enjoying this journey a lot! Thanks for joining me!
The universe is made of sound.
Luckily there are beings in this universe to actually hear it 😄
@@SaeedReacts. Still not enough of us unfortunately.
another great reaction, id recommend you try the live version of "ON THETURNING AWAY" im sure
that you will enjoy it aswell as lots more
Thanks! Will add that one to my list!
you might also like to check out "COMING BACK TO LIFE", both great songs
@@SaeedReacts.
Hope the break is going well. Check out the studio version in your own time if you can. It is immense.
Will do! I am going on a road trip with plenty hours of driving. Looking forward to hearing it.
You just jumped into a beautiful ride!
Amazing journey so far!
I cannot believe you're hearing this for the first time...
It was. Im catching up on much music.
I have read and watched films all my life, so i can talk about that all day.
Now i am learning about music.
@@SaeedReacts. Respect! I'm with you :)
@@SaeedReacts. Better late than never!
That instrument is playing is called a 'lapsteel'!!
Thanks for letting me know.
The struggle and final acceptance of death.
It is true that the original version by Clare Torre is and was by far the best , and the only version i know of to actually attempt the 5 stages of death in order.
Unfortunately, that version is only available second hand or maybe if lucky you might find an old video on U Tube that uses the original.
All the versions for sale are resent remixes and remastered digital disasters.
They alter the feel and vibe of the original, strip it's soul of any character and the later versions even remove the final brilliant notes of passing completely ( PC at it's dumbest ).
❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a nice performance, but do yourself a favor and listen to the studio version to hear Clare Torrey’s otherworldly vocals combined with the production elements. IMO, This live version just doesn’t capture the strong emotional impact and dynamic changes on the record.
Will do!
You really should.
@@pablozee6359 totally agree 👍
@@paulallen3505 that's a waste of time, because this live version is way better
8:10 Isn't that crazy, though? When you're on your own, the prospect of death may not tear you up from inside. But when you've got your own family... well, that's a whole different story. I went through crazy flights in bad weather when I was single and did not care. Now that I have a husband and kids... TOTAL WUSS. Reciting the ayat-ul kursi and going "phoo, phoo" on them during take-off like a right old granny. What is death? It's the prospect of separation from those you love that's scary.
Indeed, a whole different story!
And that is a great way of describing it, the fear of being seperated from your loved ones. Its hard to even think about.
As good as that was, the album version with Claire Torry simply cannot be topped...EVER!
The phases of Death ...
