Just talented singers/musicians displaying their art.......no autotune/backing tracks/gizmos......just pure talent. The whole Pulse Concert is a life-changer.
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❤
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
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.
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.
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.
We are simply blessed to be here to enjoy this level of music... music *SO* intense that there are times we are drawn to it, and times where we cannot listen to it at all, because of the emotions it can pull up. David Gilmour, while so highly regarded, is *STILL* underrated in my opinion. His playing is absolutely flawless. For the music Pink Floyd creates, his playing cannot be improved upon... it is, in a word, perfection. I dont know of another band that has the effect on its listener that Pink Floyd has. Calling Pink Floyd 'one of a kind' is an understatement. They are like no other. ❤
Honey, it will hit you this way every time. It gets in your head and your soul. Never gets old! Not bad for background singers. Sam, Durga and Claudia.
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.
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.
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
I thought my man was about to leave his body. Thank you for showing us physically what we all feel internally every time we hear this exquisite piece of musical emotion.
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.
The speachlessness is totally understandable, experiencing this for the first Time. Very happy for you to find this Piece of Art! Great and honest Reaction! Greetings from Germany!
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.
Great reaction to a beautiful song… I saw this concert or tour in 1994… I will never forget it… I Spent $70 for 2 tickets at that time in Chicago. I also want this song played at my funeral… the song is about the final stages of passing… of course you need to listen to the whole Dark Side Of The Moon album to understand… but the first part you were right is anger and fighting death… 2nd part is transitioning and being stuck between heaven and earth and not wanting to leave as the soul is conflicted… and part 3 is the final exception of letting go and the soul stops fighting and rest’s for the last time. I have seen Pink Floyd 3 times in my life time including the WALL concert my favorite band of all time.
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.
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.
I hitchhiked, all over the country, starting at the age of 12...just to see them...and many ither bands...56yrs old now! We loved everyone and every adventure! Enjoyed your reaction.
Instant magique quel trio de choriste elles sont phénoménales merci à vous de nous envoyer toute ces ondes positives.très certainement un des plus grands groupes de tout les temps.
The pre-recording at the start mentions death and no reason to fear it. To me, the three singers expressed the "5 stages of grief". Their music is timeless. I'm amazed by it today, just as much back in the 70's when I first started listening to them. It's been my favorite band ever since.
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.
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.
Great reaction and I agree with the different stages of emotions with each brilliant singer. I like the blond most not because she's a better singer but I just love that raw voice she used.
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.
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.
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.
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........😍
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.
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 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.
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.
I attended a show on the Pulse tour and it is still the best show I've ever been to. Masterpiece.
@@timwebb9658 saw it twice, RFK and East Rutherford...was AMAZING. Second time got a full second set of Dark Side of the Moon..was awesome
The embracing of death... the denial, the fight, the pain, the acceptance, and finally the peace...
The most beautiful song in the world.
💯

Thanks for this. Would be great to find out if that actually took place, wouldn't it?
never has more been said without speaking a word
You need to do the whole Pulse concert start to finish!!!! Change your life forever!!!
I got to see the Pulse Tour live in concert. What a privilege that was. Will never forget it.

Very deep to grow up with this reality.

The blonde signer was Sam Browne, she did her part justice. Claire Torrey sang and created the whole original.

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
Sam Brown - there is no e on her name.
@@orwellknew9112 Her name was Clare.

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

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!!

That's a natural reaction, then beautifully articulated! An intelligent and balanced listener
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!
Now that's music my friend. Thanks for sharing with those who have never heard.
it's not often in life see and hear absolute perfection.
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

Sorrow, hurt, then solice, Pink Floyd, masters of thier art😊
I am so thankful that I’ve known about and heard this song since it’s release of the DSotM. That’s over 45 years. 😊

5:57 love how here David Gilmour, his part done, sits back and takes in the beauty of the final vocals.

Great reaction, you definitely earned my sub😁
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 ☮️
Dark Side of the Moon is one of many Great Albums by Pink Floyd!!!
I feel it was the struggle of dying. And then finally feeling peace. 🙏🏼😞
Loved this reaction! Don't hold back, it's great!
Always!

"What a performance Doc!"
Wonderful brother.... Tears of JOY...
next one from Pulse concert 1994 - Coming back to Life . = 3 good guitar solo , 🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶
Every little thing was plotted out by these guts to a ridiculous degree. These guys are the personification of perfectionists.
Love your reactions!

Three singers.

Just saw that. Lol

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.
ua-cam.com/video/Ke9y_yfwJtg/v-deo.htmlsi=_XWJoaiODdE9CZj3
Pink Floyd, one of the most famous bands in history, playing backup band to one of the greatest vocal performances ever.
Great reaction and I agree with the different stages of emotions with each brilliant singer. I like the blond most not because she's a better singer but I just love that raw voice she used.
You should really watch the documentary on how this song was originally recorded.... it is a truly amazing tale...
Stationed in England 70 to 76 saw Pink Floyd live at Knebworth park
Claire Torrey “sunk her part by improvising! Now Floyd need three ladies to replicate her piece!”
For 50 years...🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️
the voices are musical instruments was at the concert in Rotterdam sept 1994
Good job my friend. Subbed. I saw them in Chicago in 1994. Amazing show live!!!
Divine ladies! Awesome cut.
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 ! 😎
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.

Check out the same song on
"The Delicate Sound Of Thunder"
Different singers , each one amazing!
It's the best version to me.
Beautiful reaction my friend.
You’ve just listened to another PF masterpiece. They were otherworldly good.
The best reaction to this song by anyone brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allen parsons
Turned her on to this prodject. She went in to Abby road and knocked it out the park.
Pink Floyd is Powerfull!!!!!!!
You nailed it, it was about emotions from Death
it was fun to be a teenager getting stoned in the 70s. we had the best soundtrack for it.
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.

that pulse concert may be the best concert ever..
Really great review my Friend.
Great reaction, now Comfortably Numb Pulse concert remastered, it will blow your mind
The blond singer is called Sam Brown check out her song Stop, it's a belter!
A song I want to hear as I'm about 2 die.xx❤
There are a million other songs with lyrics that say far less than this song
Theres another live version from 1987' three different singers but equally moving
Best vocal solo in history
ua-cam.com/video/Ke9y_yfwJtg/v-deo.htmlsi=_XWJoaiODdE9CZj3
Love your facial expressions on this one
That's how we all felt
The first part is the fear of death, the second part is acceptance of death. The final part is letting go, and letting death embrace you.
Yup. Been there. Done that. 12 times. Lol. I'm soooo lucky.
you got the interpretation correct.❤
