I feel she’s the only one who can really match up to Clare with range, pitch, and emotion put into it. Truly amazing ❤️
much better
Look up the one with Angela Cervantes, also with Brit Floyd!
She's amazing. Check our Ava Avila
I don't care what anybody says, this womans performance made a grown ass man of 61 years cry. Awesome!!!
Here's another grown ass 69 year old man in the midst of crying, what is it that does that to us. Very powerful, almost spiritual experience. Pink Floyd, was into them with Umaguma, and A Nice Pair, before anyone heard Dark Side of The Moon.
It's okay, if you're not crying, then you're not feeling...
I didn't actually weep but certainly got that tight feeling in the throat
Fantástico
god bless Richard Wright , the unsung hero of Pink Floyd
The man who created the magnificent wall of sound that Floyd are known for. He allowed the brilliant David Gilmour to shine like a crazy diamon.
You're so right ! Barrett, Wright and Gilmour made PF much more than Waters.
I'd say under recognized, but not the unsung hero. God bless him for sure. I miss him.
Well Said!
He is very sung by the rest of the band. They admire him.
I saw Brit Floyd last night. This is one I was looking forward to hearing. SHE WAS PHENOMENAL!!! BEST I'VE EVER HEARD DO THIS!! Not only did I get goosebumps, but I started to cry. For me, it was a religious experience. It was THAT GOOD. Cheers to the lovely singer.
I swear every time I hear this song I start crying uncontrollably because simply of how beautiful and impactful this song is
Same wirth me.
Yup, there's dust in my eyes alright
I’m not crying, you’re crying>
Simply the best!
I am a vocalist with opera training....I have been a singer my whole life and still today. I have spent the last 2 hours listening to every other female back up vocalist for Pink Floyd including Clare Torry the original vocalist for Great Gig In The Sky and in my professional estimation Brit Floyd NAILS IT to the sky with vocal skill far surpassing that of any other. A full range of vocal gymnastic talent heaving with emotion...when my body is covered in shivers after hearing her first few notes you know the ultimate decision has been made.....I LOVE her passion!
+Angel Flying You hit the point!
Under the situation that Torry was put under recording the original. I don't think anyone could have done it better.
She was told to make a track using no words.
This was over 40 years ago.
Fantastic, spellbinding performance AND true to the original. It doesn't get any better.
clare torry improvised it, off the top of her head at a moments notice. the lady in this video is great , but she was just recreating something which had already been laid out and probably spent countless hours memorising it and practising before the performance.
I just got chills thinking about the situation Clare Torry was in, she tapped into some deep deep feelings of sorrow , hurt, longing and regret. Every time I listen to this song the damn dirt get in my eyes and uh you know the rest!:)
Not done in a studio with all the advantages that provides.
This is raw. Here and now. Unadulterated, unpolished. Note perfect. Claire Torry set the bar.
This lady jumped it.
We don't want a carbon copy, nothing will beat the original but we want someone to sing with the same level of emotion and authetncity and we got it!
« 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.... »
Better to go later than sooner because "life is precious"
Apreciate each and every day from sunrise to sunset and into the moonlight above
Life is a brief sliver of time into the light & love And in between the darkness of the before and after
the best performance I've heard in over 40 years.
For the original album, Claire Torry - who was invited in to sing "The Great Gig In The Sky" totally improvised the whole performance ! Yes that's right - she was instructed to just do whatever came to her mind as she went along ! The result could / should have been chaotic, but as it turned out actually has a melodious tune that has a structure to it ! Quite astonishing when you think on it.
The track on the album was put together from several elements and was note done in one go. Phenomenal result though ❤
GENIÁLNÍ IMPROVIZACE 👏🎩
What a gift to be able to sing as good as this
the most beautiful song ever written
Written?
Having troubles finding the lyrics to this one? can you help? :)
Motokev it was ad-libed in the studio when it was originally recorded. Look for the story it is fascinating.
Ola Bienkowska, she was BORN to sing this song!! She does the most incredibly amazing, melodically pleasing version to the ear - she's a TRUE tribute to the original vocalist who invented this enchanting singing piece, Clare Torry. A stunningly gorgeous, absolutely angelic performance!! She can transport you straight to the divine heavens!! Bravo Ola, magnificent!! Much LOVE to you!
Waow man ,she is an angel
I had the pleasure of meeting her and was able to thank her for this amazing performance. Unforgettable moment ❣️
i saw her perform this a few years back just before she left to give birth....this was the one song i was waiting for.and she didnt let me down .gave me goosebumps.........not very often in a live concert do you see a standing ovation before show ends..........but that night at Rama i was witness to one
I wasn't sure if I would like this because I thought nobody would match Clare Torry, but she absolutely nails it. And the audience loved her performance. Totally echoing your opinion, Jessica H!
クレアはビール１杯で
This song eased my mind... and made everything clear.
A child of the 60’s, a teenager of the 70’s and a woman of each decade, thereafter.
Magic!
I want this to be played when i die !
+Kunal Singha What will be played at my husbands funeral when he passes. This one and comming back to life. :)
I think the same!
How would you know If they did.
Someone will play it for you with mp3 player
That's the point of the song. The album was an exploration of birth, life, and death. This song was the death part. It's either what you hear in heaven or in hell, depending on how you hear it.
Only a true Floydian truly understands the depths this reaches.... ;)
No here to Amsterdam, its unerfeseal
I am a true Floydian.
I disagree. Someone not even remotely close to any kind of music would also respond to this. And that's actually what makes this - and the original recording of course - so great.
HER VOICE IS SPECTACULAR !!
what a vocal range ....brilliant
Just saw these guys last night in Peterborough Ontario Canada. Front row. Saw Eva Ávila perform her rendition. Was blown away. She was also a Canadian idol winner. I don't know what they feed their singers in Quebec but holy crap, they sure churn out some amazing vocalists.
Wow! This dear lady is absolutely stunning. Amazing vocal control. The emotion she put into this piece has me still in goose bumps. BRAVO!!!
I heard live & was reduced to tears...
Ola Bienkowska. 👌❤️
Saw this group last night for free on the Main Grandstand.7/25/2013 California Mid-State Fair. Her solo lasted 3 times as long and the Band played for 3 hours. She had the entire crowd on our feet cheering. What an incredible voice. Like one comment says," She told the most beautiful story I've ever heard without speaking a word.
I played this for a group of seniors and when it was over everyone was crying it was so beautiful
Who the hell could possibly dislike this? Even if you don't like Pink Floyd, you have to stand in awe of this performance.
We saw this performed last night in Providence RI, April 5th 2016. She received a long standing ovation after her singing part. It was absolutely stunning.
Unfortunately, Brit Floyd also announced that last night was her final night with them as she is pregnant and is going to become a mother. I don't know if they meant final forever, or for a while, but I am so very happy I got to hear her sing this part last night. Incredible performance!
+Kenneth Orabone I'm sure it won't be Ola's final performance with Brit Floyd, just the last one for a while, as Ola is indeed about to become a mother for the first time
+Kenneth Orabone I had the good fortune to be there last night too, and maybe like you I could feel the warmth coming from the audience towards her when they made the announcement. As far as I heard, she's leaving for an indefinite time. With how tough it must be to tour almost continuously like they do, with a newborn added in it seems to me like "indefinite" might be a long time at best. I've seen Brit Floyd quite a few times, and feel lucky to have been able to see her perform.
+Brit Floyd Great to hear. She was absolutely amazing! Send her our best wishes on motherhood!
+Brit Floyd She is AMAZING!!!!
I was fortunate, too, to see her just a week before you in Indianapolis with my Lady Friend. We loved the show so much we rounded up four more friends and saw them again last week in Louisville! Alas, it was a different beautiful lady singing the Great Gig, but no less awesome! They are going to be in Ohio soon. I might just do it again! Awesome show.
Excellent! Brings tears to my eyes everytime.
+newyorkglitter To mine too
happens to me each time i hear this song
I have been addicted to this video since 2015.
saw them three days ago. After her solo ended, before the song was over, the audience gave her a STANDING OVATION
Simply stunning, next to Clair Torry the very best I have ever heard. This performance bought tears to my eyes.
For some reason I never got to fully comprehend the meaning of this song but her unbelievable performance showed me what it’s really about and it just made appreciate this song even more.
When she started singing this during their show at Manchester...The whole arena burst into cheers, applause and so on. In other words, we were all VERY impressed.
As good as it gets. Period. A performance for the ages of a song that will remain forever. Bravo 🌹
That voice is heavenly.
Huge performance in Lisbon last night!!! Traveled back in time to the Pulse concert in 1991.
Here I am again! She is awesome!
saw this show last Sunday night in Jacksonville, Florida and was absolutely floored by Ola's rendition of this song, Even got a picture with her after the show
This wonderful womens voice speaks for us all in the face of a planet of daily confusion, it’s a Prayer directly from a divine source, it allows us to be part of something of such beauty.....rising so high above words...
Best performance since the original hands down. Enough said.
They played this song at the Minneapolis show back in August. This song got the longest standing ovation of the night. Brilliant performance.
She is awesome! Not to mention the rest of the band! Excellent!
This always sends shivers down my spine. That lady’s voice is phenomenal. Love it . 🙏
Why is it that I keep getting older but this doesn't. I originally got the album in '74. Never grow tired of it. So glad you guys hit the mark and are passing it on to younger generations. Yep, the Floyd will never die.
dark side of the moon was special a one of ,,, all of their other albums were shit
The ability to sing as well as this is a gift from heaven.
I saw a band doing a Floyd tribute in St Petersburg, Fl, and the woman who sang this part was incredible, as well. After they were done, I made a point of telling that woman how incredible she was.
I am not taking anything away from this performance, by any means. This was surreal and beautiful.
She sent chills up and down my spine when I saw/heard her perform in
Pensacola. When I hear The Great Gig, I hear it as a representation of
life rising to a crescendo at it's prime before fading toward the end to our final breath.
If that was this year, then you heard Angela Cervantes sing it -- Ola (in the video) left the group to have a child last year.
How could anyone 'thumbs down' ? Beautiful.
those who thumbed down are idiots ....;-)
Why do I watch this? Why don't I just watch Pink Floyd?... The real thing.. Well, I don't have a clue, but I do watch it, and absolutly love it.. This woman's voice, so moving! Like the black woman in the Brit Floyd's cover of mother! Sensational!! Will keep watching Brit Floyd as well as Pink Floyd! Floyd's music lives on. Wonderful!
Heard her sing tho sing this in London Ontario last monday night. Still gives me goosebumps. She got a standing ovation at the end.
The original version with Clair Tory brings tears, so does this. It’s full of perfect emotion and faithful in her voice, her inflections. Amazing! 😎
She has the smoothest version of all and does it constantly night after night. My photo is from a Floyd concert, seen 28, including Brit Floyd. She was amazing live!
I have seen Pink Floyd twice and Rodger Waters 3 times. I have also seen Aussie Floyd 3 times and I am now heading down to see Brit Floyd for the first time Tuesday night 11 / 14 / 17. Rock on my friends . You can never get enough Pink Floyd .
The soloist on this cover by Brit Floyd is Ola Bienkowska. Other soloists who have performed this song with Brit Floyd are Angela Cervantes and Eva Avila. Stunning performance of a Pink Floyd classic, indeed.
OMG This is moving. Stunning.
Good God that has got to be the best vocal I've heard in ages. I bet it felt great, well done you rock.
That was awesome! Id never seen her before. Wow!
Wow that was amazing! Those high notes were perfect!
she is superb..exquisitely performed. I imagine if we could hear.the angels singing in heaven they would.sound like this.***one of the finest covers ever.thanks..
yeah so this is probably the greatest thing I've ever seen.
I was born in 1999, seeing Brit was the first concert I ever saw. Incredible experience seeing them play through the eras. Absolutely incredible show that I remember to this day at 24.
I am almost in tears. She did a better job than I could've ever imagined. Wow.
Soothing and gorgeous music! 🎶🌟💝
Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful!!!!!! Thats It.
I come back to this again and again.
Such pure passion ! The very finest performance of this Torry Original that exists to this day and well into the future. Stunning professional and with such passion and emotion, genuine heart-breaking piece, I have never been so affected by such,.........such a beautiful woman, exceptionally talented and born to do this Classic. I have been a Floyd, deep rooted fan for 55 years and know every note and tune all of them have ever done, personally met Waters and have gone to many shows. My two (now adult) children are Musicians, My Son a Guitarist and drummer, My Daughter a woodwind dynamic. Both well educated and started out at aged 5-7 yrs. old. My Heart is so warmly pricked by such highly charged and engaging performances, One of the comments here states that they want this played at their funeral when he/she dies,....having given it thought,......I also would ! A absolutely perfect piece to finalize ones life, yet,.......perfect also when a woman gives birth and is dazzled in glory holding a newborn,......I am a grown Man, and I cried when I listened and watched this bit,......! Dazzling, spectacular, heartfelt, to the core. A truly touching and well mastered Masterpiece !!!
There are many versions of this classic song, bur Ola's performance is my favourite! Stunning!
This was a spectacular performance, the best live performance ive ever heard of the most feelingful song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!1
she is absolutely incredible! this version is performed so flawlessly!
Absolutely stunning
BRAVO!! A piece of music that I have cherished for over 30yrs.
One of the best performances ever! I heard many singers performing this song but this is the most emotional one for me. I can't stop listenin' to her. I really enjoy!! She speaks without words...
I love seeing these incredible women singers try to take on this song. Respect babe! Great work. Saw the Aussie Floyd last year and they actually had Durga McBroom touring with them. Wow. She's still got it from her days of touring with THE FLOYD. I am so happy that we have the Brit Floyd and the Aussie Floyd out there letting me relive my love of the Floyd. These are no mere pretenders. Respect.
I'm so glad I got to see Brit Floyd .great show .ROCK ON .keep the music alive .
tears and chills is all I can say
Best live version of this song ever, and by far. Congratulations and long live Ola Bienkowska!
The decrescendo and key change starting @ 2:26 is a breath of total beauty.
I've just stood up at the end and applauded! Wow!!!
An incredible band, I don't have words.
this is the first time i ever heard one very talented singer nail this peace of music/lyrics/solo normaly its shared between three singers even in pink floyd and so close to the original if not as the record im in greatful chock and appresiation of that version so so beautiful thank you for being so professional loved it and will hear it many times in the years to come great work guys yeehaa
A SUPERBAND of all times ..... no one will ever come close to their music...... My BEST band ever that emerged from the shadows of the 60s .. and then re- emerged in late 70s when David Gilmour took control of the spaceship and he completed the multiple beautiful sounds of the Universe that we so longed to hear!.....even the kids of today love them !!! ...... Long live Pink Floyd.......best band ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely the best I have ever heard. Standing ovation 3 times in Kansas City.
This song made me weep. I felt it all great gig in the sky!
Это высший пилотаж! Одна,, вывезла"фактически три сложнейших партии!!!И как!? Шикарный вокал! Полный восторг!!! 👏👏👏
OMG! She sounds exactly like Clare Torry! Amazing!!
Totally nailed that girl, Awesome... and the whole band Thank you!
There are some brilliant songs, some great songs and then there is a category way above them all.
This song is a masterpiece and the cover is a masterpiece 😎👌
Saw them last weekend, this brought tears to my eyes!
Not just tears in my eyes for me... tried to control them; but, overflowed & were streeaming down my cheeks to my neck... At first was suprised & then embarassed that I had been reduced to tears (in public)at a concert.
This is tremendous, absolutely beautiful.
And the Gods smiled down upon man and gave them Clare Torry...first...and now, Ola Bienkowska...two times is a blessing!! This ranks as the most stunning, astonishing and phenomenal non-verbal vocal performance of the rock era..and so it shall remain.
Bless these folks for making this fine music available to us all!!!!! They all ROCK!!!!!!
The lady singing this is the best interpretation I've heard apart from the album version? Certainly live
piss off this is much better
@@conanhayle Clare Torry's original vocal was composed spontaneously and recorded in one take. This woman does a wonderful job, but has had much time to perfect her performance. I think the original is better, but to each his own.
@@conanhayle this is way better and I have seen the real floyd do this
The lady - Ola Bieńkowska, Poland
Vivian Donner does and incredible job with the group Atom. I like Vivians voice a little better, it’s a little less restrained, like the original.
absolutely beautiful vocals well done young lady you touched my heart
I've been to one of your concert in France and this version of GGITS will always stay in my mind... Unforgettable... Please give us a Bluray....
This is why I love women ...the passion flowing from her heart and her soul through Ola's amazing voice is magnificent!!!
Simply amazing voice for an amazing cover band playing truly amazing music. Always.
Absolutely fantastic!
This always brings tears to my eyes it's so powerful!!
She sings it PERFECT and I wish I could see them live but can't :(
The band is awesome and a great tribute to Pink Floyd.
А на моих глазах появляется жидкость и дрожит нижняя челюсть
Probably the best live show I've ever watched here on UA-cam. Full of perfection. Bravo!
Buon pomeriggio. Devo ammettere che dopo aver ascoltato la " performance di Brit Floyd, sono rimasta folgorata! Adoro "The Great Gig in the Sky...Sono, pero, sicura che Antonella Ruggiero, ex "Matia Bazar", con la sua assurda estensione vocale e relativa coloratura, le terrebbe testa perfettamente!!!😊❤🎉
the best ever cover ...
Note for note,breath for breath, pulse for pulse PERFECT!!!!!!
BRAVO OLA !!!!! With Love From Chicago.
Absolutely hand-down the best rendition of this song I've ever heard. I never thought a tribute band would be able to stand a chance of bettering the original, but this young lady smashed it right out of the park.
