- "The Great Gig in the Sky" is a track from Pink Floyd's eighth studio album, "The Dark Side of the Moon," released in 1973. The song is primarily an instrumental piece with vocalizations and a prominent piano solo. It features Clare Torry's powerful and emotive vocal performance, which consists of wordless, improvised singing.
The track serves as a pivotal moment in the concept album, contributing to the overall theme of mortality, existentialism, and the human experience. The lyrics of the album explore various aspects of life, including time, money, mental illness, and death.
"The Great Gig in the Sky" is known for its haunting and emotional impact, with Torry's vocals conveying a range of intense emotions. The song is often regarded as one of the standout tracks on "The Dark Side of the Moon" and is considered a classic in the progressive rock genre.
"Pulse" is a live album by Pink Floyd, released in 1995. The album features recordings from the band's 1994 Division Bell tour and includes performances from various concerts. The tour was in support of their fourteenth studio album, "The Division Bell."
One of the most notable aspects of the "Pulse" release is the inclusion of a live version of "The Dark Side of the Moon" in its entirety. The album also features other classic Pink Floyd tracks, showcasing the band's skill in live performances.
The "Pulse" concert was accompanied by a visually stunning light show and elaborate stage setup, including the iconic circular screen known as the "Pink Floyd prism." The band's lineup during the Division Bell tour consisted of David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright, along with supporting musicians.
In addition to the audio release, there was a video release of "Pulse" that included footage from the concerts. The video featured visual effects and animations synchronized with the music, providing a memorable audio-visual experience for Pink Floyd fans.
Overall, "Pulse" is highly regarded by Pink Floyd enthusiasts and is considered a significant part of the band's discography, capturing the essence of their live performances during the Division Bell tour.
Just talented singers/musicians displaying their art.......no autotune/backing tracks/gizmos......just pure talent. The whole Pulse Concert is a life-changer.
Yep…you don’t find these types on America’s got talent or the X factor, no commercialism here, only hard work real talent and vision.
yes
I attended a show on the Pulse tour and it is still the best show I've ever been to. Masterpiece.
The most beautiful song in the world.
💯
Rick Wright, Pink Floyd keyboardist, asked Durga Mcbroom, a background singer for Pink Floyd World Tour, to sing this song at his funeral. She did that too, as she confirmed to me personally. But there is still the unconfirmed rumor that she was accompanied on the piano by John Lord
You need to do the whole Pulse concert start to finish!!!! Change your life forever!!!
They sang all the stages of grief without one word. If Pink Floyd does not move you, then you are a robot. Pink Floyd are brilliant, individually and collectively. I've loved their music since I was 14 and the love goes deeper every single year❤
Everything you say makes perfect sense. Pink Floyd has the ability to play with the subconscious and feelings. At the beginning it is said that you shouldn't be afraid of dying. And that is exactly what is described by the voices. There is something about dying. Phase 1: Not wanting to believe.Phase 2: Anger.Phase 3: Negotiation.Phase 4: Depression.Phase 5: Acceptance. And that's exactly what you find in this song
Exactly and, whether you listen to the live or studio version, those emotions are demonstrated purely by the sound of the singer's voice(s).
It's difficult to listen to this and not be as emotional.
Pink Floyd is beyond so many other groups.
There really hasn't and probably won't be another group like them.
They're music geniuses.
Was told about the five stages of dying and was listening to the great gig all in same month back in 1972(?)
When a deep friend passed and he (we) know it was going to happen ( not medical)
Very deep to grow up with this reality.
Phony spastic reaction 😂
The blonde signer was Sam Browne, she did her part justice. Claire Torrey sang and created the whole original.
Thanks for that. I didn’t think it was Claire because she only did the album as far as I knew. Sam is doing pretty well here, but I don’t think anyone could match what Claire did on that take, not even her. What Claire did was original and spontaneous and insanely gifted. She just went somewhere that she had never been before and blew the doors off it. I truly believe it was a one time thing for her.
hi i saw claire sing this at knebworth 75. to think she just went into a booth and smashed this out with no music. and walked away with 30 quid.
Yes she did an excellent job. The emotion is present
never has more been said without speaking a word
Clare Torrey sang the original. What a bloody angel!
She shook my world when I first heard The Great Gig In The Sky in the seventies, best version for sure
Another spectacular reaction!! 40+ years after first hearing this song, the emotions never change. No other song, (outside of gospel music), moves me the way this song does. Can't explain it. Have stopped trying to understand it. I just know it's real. For me, it's the most spiritual song in rock and roll history.
What an AMAZING night it was to see that show live!!!
I was on a Pink Floyd concert in Germany in the late 1980s. The best concert I have been. Im still impressed today.
I’m jealous.
I was possibly at the same show. I went to the one at the Festhall in Frankfurt. It was epic!
@@lanpartyanimal5215 I was in Stuttgart.
😂 phony spastic reaction , late to the game bubba!
My ultimate fav band of all time and Im 60 yrs young. A forever fan. Such a beautiful and powerful song, which is about life, gradually descending into death. Denial..Anger...refusing to "go gently into that good night."...Depression...Acceptance, "Peace". Best concerts ever done.Thanx so much, Peace
Agree !
Great reaction 👏.
This is how without words the song can portray the three stages of dying.
1. Fear
2. Acceptance
3. Peace/ release
These three world class singers paid homage to the original studio version (Claire Torry)the respect it deserves.
Reminiscent of Bob Hoskins' acting in the final scene of The Long Good Friday. Who needs words with acting like that and singing like this!!
My butt was center stage 7th row back. Love both the studio and live versions. To be there to see this....the energy .....the absolute connection to "all that is".......floyd should always be live. Pink Floyd channels the universes energy and they tranduce the energy into music and then it direclty touches your soul. Welcome to the power of music at it's finest.
As fantastic as those wonderful women were.
Clare did it all by herself in a single take I am told.
[edit} three takes after hearing the melody
Yes , Clare Tory was awesome, best version imho
it's not often in life see and hear absolute perfection.
i saw them live on this tour in Oakland in 1994. Unbelievable performance all night. Best concert I've ever been to. It felt like a religious experience.
Now that's music my friend. Thanks for sharing with those who have never heard.
Sorrow, hurt, then solice, Pink Floyd, masters of thier art😊
Love your reactions!
I was there and it was as amazing live as in this video.
Comfortably Numb from pulse concert also Sorrow a must watch. Great reaction!
This song is basically about being told you are going to die.. going through the stages of anger, denial, etc all the way through to acceptance... no words... just emotions.
One of the greatest recordings of all time - I listened to this in a pool floating around in Turkey on holiday long ago, not long after Bluetooth headphones came out (had the receiver under my hat! ) - Amazing, track after track of one of the greatest bands every to walk this planet.
Listening to Pink Floyd is a journey and an experience of a life time, thank you I loved your deep and honest reaction. 🙏
5:57 love how here David Gilmour, his part done, sits back and takes in the beauty of the final vocals.
Wonderful brother.... Tears of JOY...
luv ur reaction!!!
Nobody does it like Pink Floyd. Beautiful vocals
Good job my friend. Subbed. I saw them in Chicago in 1994. Amazing show live!!!
It's one of the finest PCs. of music made in my lifetime. It is a song about the three stages of dealing with death. Each woman deals with the emotions. 1st singers emotion was anger . 2nd singer it was sadness. And the last singer's emotion was acceptance. All three women singing used one vowel as the word the vowel O . It is an amazing song with way more depth than most people realize.
Speechless thats what a reaction is well done bro this band has been in my life for 50 years and still makes me feel the same ALIVE
Beautiful reaction my friend.
The whole time you sat in silence, I kinda knew what you were saying.😂
Great reaction, you definitely earned my sub😁
You got the emotions right on. It's about death and acceptance
next one from Pulse concert 1994 - Coming back to Life . = 3 good guitar solo , 🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶
The singing is all about harmony and human vibes that gives me the chill 👍👍✌️i think everyone listening to this song is getting a peacefull message ☮️
Divine ladies! Awesome cut.
As much as I love the raw, wild beauty of the original, I prefer the polish of this one. It never ceases to make me cry.
I feel it was the struggle of dying. And then finally feeling peace. 🙏🏼😞
I share your emotion. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Real heavy strong powerful awesome true ART !
Dont remember hearing this one from Pink Floyd. Love how the two backup singers were forefront. Love they were different ethnicities. I love how all members are important. As with any Pink Floyd song, the interpretation is up to you despite any words sung. Nice reaction. Keep going.
Three singers.
@@micheleward8706
Just saw that. Lol
Really great review my Friend.
For 50 years...🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️
"What a performance Doc!"
Stationed in England 70 to 76 saw Pink Floyd live at Knebworth park
That was from the pulse tour in 1994 i went to see that concert at the olympic Stadium in Montreal ! The new album at that time was Division Bells ! 😎
the voices are musical instruments was at the concert in Rotterdam sept 1994
Great observations. Claudia, the lady at the end got acceptance, and resignation which is the more subdued part, and she carried it off beautifully, this is often overlooked buy some narrow minded people who see this as some sort of competition rather than the overall classic performance that it is.
Yes, Clare Torrey sang the original on the album, She was asked to use her vocals to represent the raw emotion of the transitions into leaving life, the stages of dying, beginning with denial, anger, fear, resistance and finally acceptance, she aced it and created a Masterpiece that will pass the test of time, these three young Ladies who performed it here aced it as well, this song touches my Heart, Spirit and Soul every time I hear it, it's a Masterpiece !! I would like to suggest that you check out the entire Pulse Concert, have a visual as well as the music, I'm sure you will enjoy doing so !! God Bless.
you got the interpretation correct.❤
Claire Torrey “sunk her part by improvising! Now Floyd need three ladies to replicate her piece!”
Love your facial expressions on this one
You’ve just listened to another PF masterpiece. They were otherworldly good.
You should really watch the documentary on how this song was originally recorded.... it is a truly amazing tale...
WOW no words in this tune, just pure musical talent. Would love to see a rapper try this. Gee, why do I think rappers are NOT MUSICIANS, they just talk to a beat. They are lyracists not musicians. Many great song writers wrote lyrics much better than rappers. Rap is for people with no musical talent.
the 1st vocalist is Sam (Samantha) Brown.......many prefer Clare Torrey's vocals on the album version, but this performance live is very moving, as well........😍
I always pictured this piece to represent the end of life struggle and on to the ascent to the afterlife. Side one of the album is one story. Floyd tells stories.
NOW THATS A REACTION! Teach that to the others that just sit there and listen but dont feel it please. ❤😅
Lol, maybe that is their version of a genuine reaction. when I listen to music I listen to every single thing
That's how we all felt
Best vocal solo in history
The great gig in sky- very deep. Clar the original singer did this- no words - spewed out the five stages of grief.
Allen parsons
Turned her on to this prodject. She went in to Abby road and knocked it out the park.
Great reaction, now Comfortably Numb Pulse concert remastered, it will blow your mind
that pulse concert may be the best concert ever..
it was fun to be a teenager getting stoned in the 70s. we had the best soundtrack for it.
Check out the same song on
"The Delicate Sound Of Thunder"
Different singers , each one amazing!
Yup. Been there. Done that. 12 times. Lol. I'm soooo lucky.
Slaps you in the soul, doesn't it. I call it being, Soul Slapped.
Theres another live version from 1987' three different singers but equally moving
I'm a big advocate of all these reactors reading up on these songs on Wikipedia or something prior to listening to them so they'll now what they're listening to.
The blond singer is called Sam Brown check out her song Stop, it's a belter!
The blond lady is Joe Bowns daughter he was a 50s 60s pop idle here in the uk. Sadly she had to stop singing because of a medical problem
Her mum Vicki was also an accomplished singer and did the backing vocals on a song called no charge in the 70s, I absolutely adore Sam brown she's fabulous
tnks from brazil my channel this is a masterpiece for real
A song I want to hear as I'm about 2 die.xx❤
The song is about someone who is dying. Theres all the reactions you explained The first is fear and anger, then comes the acceptance, and finally the relief . The original had just the one vocalist, where as the live version has 3.
What gets me is that every reaction uses the live version instead of the Clare Torrey original
One of the greatest songs ever, though I like the original version on Dark Side of the Moon better
check Pink Floyd - Welcome to the machine
❤
Sam Brown up first, check her out singing Horse To The water on the Concert For George ( Harrison)
i search the original video of this do have it ?
I pretty much like this story, not sure if it is true and who actually was it who told it :
“The Great Gig In The Sky” - Pink Floyd
The vocals were done by a petite British lady studio singer brought in by the Producer Allan Parsons named Claire Torrie. She did not know what they wanted her to sing. David Gilmour suggested she use her voice like a Saxophone… it worked great.
I met David Gilmour back stage at a concert in California 1984. I asked him about the meaning - reason for “Great Gig In The Sky”…. David’s answer was something like…. .I was asked if Pink Floyd would ever do a song about Religion like some others have… so I said, You are referring to the great gig in the sky they call god. What words could be used to describe all the pain and suffering caused by religious beliefs. All the crying and wailing from mothers who lost their husbands or sons in a war fought over religious differences. The only vocals should be just the sound of a mothers crying with pain and suffering. The speaking at the start was recorded at Apple records with various employees answering a list of questions next to a small recording machine. The question was…“Are You afraid Of Dying? This one was an elderly gentleman who was a janitor in the place. Roger thought it would fit in the song at the beginning so there it is. We didn’t want to make that public so as to avoid any religious boycott like what happened to the Beatles after Lennon made his comment about Jesus.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................................. nothing to do with this cut.
If you liked this, I’m sure you would like Terminal Frost and Marooned.
yup
First class reaction
Only a woman could express these emotions. I hope everyone felt these in their life
if i remember this song is about grief over someone dying.. I think. :)
It's supposedly about the stages your soul goes through after death.beginning with rejecting the idea your dead to acceptance
5 stages of grief
At death, we want so much to hang on to what we know. In the end, one must be resigned to the jump from being encapsulated in time, to the eternal. How many songs can you name that DON"T need a translation. Maybe something from Bach, Mozart, or Beethoven?
This was btw.: her most popular song as far as i know, and i even bought the CD back in the days :
Sam Brown Stop
ua-cam.com/video/DWKwnfBtzXg/v-deo.html
and yes i know, the original was sung by Clare Torry and all props to her for creating this fantastic thing.
Sam Brown absolutely nails it
Bet reaction ever love ya 😢😢😢
Impressive singing.i prefer the original personally
Sam Brown-Stop.
listen to the album version. it's better. this is great, but the album version is legendary and could never be matched. ever. it's amazing. yes, it's studio and it was done in 3 takes but it doesn't matter.
I think she firgot the lyrics. Cuz that's what i do when i forgetthe lyrics.
it's about dying
Dude... I think, I'm not sure, did you just have an eargasum?
I always thought it was one woman, this kind of changes some of the beauty of it.
me too!!!
@@theneverenderreacts it’s still beautiful, but does take away from the idea, that one person sang that beautiful.
It was one women on the album, three live. Although Clare Torrey did sing it solo at the Knebworth Charity gig when Floyd closed the show after the McCartney set. To be fair the Knebworth version was not that great
@@bennyfactor1 ok thank you.
@@bennyfactor1she looked possessed there
