    UPDATE: so the mass consensus is we must do the album version so that is what we will do very soon! Sorry all for getting the name wrong of the original singer. I must have been thinking about Nightwish at that moment but yes, her name was Clare Torry.

      WolfKain, I'm working on a cover of Pink Floyd's "Fearless" as we speak. I'm not done mixing the vocals but I'll link it to you somewhere when it's complete. Nearly there. More of a rock/space vibe than their stripped-down acoustic original.

      That's what I was thinking too. There is something extra to a live version, but even w/ picking 3 different singers to share the vocals (because the song is apparently exhausting to sing, because singing isn't quite what it is, you have to pull these vocals from your core), not one of them could even hold a candle to the original Claire Torrey. Unfortunately, the only live version I found w/ Torrey singing it is vocal only and didn't have video of it.

      Claire torrey was getting constantly asked to go to the studio but she was busy finally she went down there not knowing who she was singing for and they never explained what they wanted she improvised and done her own thing. 12 months later she walked past a record shop and seen a sign 'New Pink Floyd album out now so she went in and bought it believe it or not.

    Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is said to be life, that's why the album starts with a heartbeat. Life progresses through the different songs. This song is supposed to be experiencing the loss of your parents. The vocals represent the five stages of grief.

Since first hearing this song on the album in the very early 1970s, my eyes have always been blurry after hearing this tune -- not really a song since it doesn't have lyrics, simply raw emotions as the means of communication.

    The blond backup singer is Sam Brown who had her own music career going on at this time. She was a "Pop" singer in the UK and had a #1 hit single entitled "Stop". She jumped at the chance to work with Pink Floyd for this concert and, I think, she also worked several concerts with them just before this concert series at Earls Court. That is how respected Pink Floyd was back in the day. Artists were willing to put their own careers on hold just for a opportunity to work with these guys.

    It's very true. The 1970s Pink Floyd albums really need to be listened to as the entire album, one song really flows into another. From "Dark Side of the Moon," to "Wish You Were Here," to "Animals," all 3 albums are highly conceptual, where the individual songs are excellent, but when listened to in the order originally designed by the artists, who did whatever it took, and spared no expense to get exactly what they wanted, taking over a year to record and produce a single album in the 1970s, listening to the album as a whole is a true experience, and the time will fly by.

Nice story. Also incredible track by track breakdown, not just each song, but the layers involved musically and vocally that made each track. By the original producer himself, the man Alan Parsons not his "Project".LOL.Cheers from the canadian Queen nut. Great reaction btw.

    Agreeing with so many here that Claire Torrey's original is so much better. In part because it is just a voice crying in the wilderness, like an ancient prophetess. So powerful. Floyd had an amazing talent for capturing the sense of infinite space, the universe arcing about you, the music of the spheres...
    LASERIUM!!! OMG, I went to see those shows at the Griffith Park Planetarium in the late 70's. I miss those shows so much. Mind-blowing, we would stagger out of the building afterwards and sit out on the lawn, looking up at the universe above us. The Pink Floyd show was fabulous. Man, SUCH MEMORIES.

    I have followed Pink Floyd since they started in the late sixties and saw them many times. This is still one of my favourite tracks of all times and listening to it never fails to bring tears to my eyes, not because it's sad but for the beauty of the music and the incredible vocal contribution by Claire Torry, which she created just listening to the backing track and got down in a single take!
    If you don't cry when you hear this, you're already dead! Cry away Sistah, you're in good company! x

    You should definitely do Comfortably Numb from the same concert :) Also, Echoes, either the studio version or the one called 'Final "Echoes"performance with Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)' (surpasses the original in my opinion).
    Finally, I know it maybe difficult due to copyright but try to do an album reaction (like "Wish you were here"), that's how Pink Floyd are meant to be heard, the songs in each album are connected and feel like a journey.

    I'm not usually a very emotional person, but I cannot hear this song without crying. The first time I heard this song was live, at a Rodger Waters concert. I was paralyzed, almost breathless. It was the second most amazing experience in my life, next to holding my daughter for the first time. Great reaction! 🌺

  • @Geezer-yf8hv

    This song is very special to me. I introduced my younger brother to Pink Floyd, and they became our favorite band. Together, we learned to play music and form a band. He died in a car accident at age 39. I played this song, (original recording), at his funeral. The recorded vocal statements suited him so well...."I'm not afraid of dying. Why should I be? There's no point in it, we've all got to go sometime".
    I barely got through his eulogy, then hit play. I lost it, and think everyone else did, too. I cry every time I hear this song, yet this does not make it depressing. "Wish You Were Here" does the same thing to me. When a beautiful piece of music makes you cry, it reminds and reconnects you to your humanity. Something more people need to do these days.

  • @acidm0nkey
    @acidm0nkey 6 років тому +4

    When listening to this I always imagine a person on his/her deathbed going through the five stages of death and dying - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance before he/she heads off to The Great Gig in the Sky. The vocalisation seems to emote these stages as it progresses. Great to see you being introduced to another one of my favourites. Of course, the album version is the definitive version.

    Do "comfortably numb" from the same concert and we'll all be crying together for a week! Or "time" or "shine on you crazy diamond" or "brain damage/eclipse". Don't do "wish you were here" because then we'll be in danger of complete dehydration

I'm excited that I've found you and I'm a listener. I hope to hear more Pink Floyd reactions.

    If you're doing progressive november I strongly recommend Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree. Maybe Routine or Ancestral or Refuge or Happy Returns for "Make Sistah Cry" :)
    PS: I love the way you react to music, I think there's great strength and humanity in allowing yourself to be vulnerable and emotional on camera (loved your Nightwish reaction). I cry when i hear beautiful music as well and I don't think it's something to be ashamed of, quite the contrary.

    I believe the instrumental part of this was originally meant for a movie soundtrack, but the director or producer had to reject it. He said it was beautiful, but too sad for the scene he had in mind.
    It became Great Gig after they had Claire react and sing over it a couple of times, and the rest is history.
