The original with Claire Torry is a masterpiece. She was hired for an afternoon. Walked in the studio, chatted with the band to get an idea what they wanted and they really didn't say much except they wanted no words in the vocals. She improvised and recorded in two takes. Amazing story.
If I recall the story, she was struggling with what they wanted, until they talked and specified they wanted her to use her voice as an instrument. Once she got that, 2 takes and we got what's on the record.
@@DamnedEyez I think, they've actually taken the first take. She was abandoning the third take and went away, thinking, it will never get onto the album. Later, she found out in a music shop, where she saw it in the window and bought it. Then, it was just "vocals by Clare Torry", later she sued them and they've settled in the 200Xs, that she and Richard Wright get the writing credits (and some undisclosed amount of money from the income) for her important role in the improvised choreography. I think, it's also her on the track "Time" in the background.
Sam Brown's vocals on this are legendary to me. She goes from little girl to woman and back again, I always have chills when hearing this and I always have to listen again!
In May 2022, I was on a music cruise that Durga McBroom (the second woman to sing on this song) was performing on, along with her sister Lorilei. My cabin mate had to cancel attending at the last minute due to her sister's cancer treatments. I knew the McBroom sisters were particular favorites of my friend. By chance I saw the two of them on a very crowded deck and decided to ask them if they would make a little video massage for her. When I finished explaining what I wanted, Durga looked around at all the people on the deck, immediately took my hand and said, "not here, let's find a quieter spot." We walked for several minutes until we found an empty room and we filmed it there. This woman had been in Pink Floyd, and she treated me and my friend like we were the most important people in the world to her.
Imagine you have just been told that you are going to die. You go through a series of emotions from anger to acceptance. The ladies take you through those emotions.
Yep. It’s basically what the death process would sound like if it was music, much like the Allman Brothers’ “Jessica”. One of the band members was watching his daughter, Jessica playing, and he figured that that’s what it would sound like if it was a song. Each time she changed what she was doing, he’d change the song accordingly.
As good as this is Bisscute, treat yourself to a listen to the original album version, all vocals by Clare Tory. She was given a quick idea of what the band wanted( no words but show the various stages of learning you are dying, Shock or Disbelief, anger, denial, bargaining, depression, then finally acceptance. By the way the spoken words were spoken by a member of the road crew-. "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 never said I was frightened of dying."
This. Also, while this song stands alone as a great piece, it is even better in context. People will tell you to listen to the full album, and I hope you do it one day, it's really worth it, but even if you don't, at least try to listen to Time and The Great Gig in the Sky as they are in the album, one after the other without pause. Time starts with our wasting time in our youth, then running out of time as we age, then Great Gig in the Sky is the conclusion: rejecting death, fighting it, and ultimately accepting it. It's quite powerful.
@@ianclark9598 Yeah that's true, my point was really that Clare did it all herself (in 2 takes apparently) whereas there are 3 vocalists here, still good though.
@@crincon this performance, taken from the Pulse gig at Earls Court in 1994, was also of DSOTM in its entirety played end to end. And the missing context here is what, precisely??????
@@stevem-h3562 Like I said: if you listen to this song on its own, what you get is a beautiful song and not much more. But if you come into it from listening to Time, then you're already immersed in the theme of aging, and how time flies ever faster as you get close to the end, and then The Great Gig in the Sky hits very hard because it *is* the end. It's not just beautiful, but it has a very clear and touching meaning. It's a more powerful experience. And yes, the Pulse concert was the full album. I'm not sure what your point is about that? In any case, yeah, it was the full album for a reason: it's more powerful this way. Now I understand that listening to a full album in this day and age is not very popular, and fair enough, the culture is different, I'm no one to judge. All I say is, even if you don't listen to the whole thing, at least consider just playing Time and The Great Gig together. Because it is a great experience.
@@stevem-h3562 One day someone will post a comment applauding the ladies here - especially Miss Brown - and not get someone immediately invoking Clare Torry. But, again, it's not this day. Two things can be brilliant.
Dark Side of the Moon still stands as one of the greatest albums ever made. A masterclass in how to seamlessly take the listener on a journey of emotions.
When the album came out on vinyl I was in college, & I invited a few friends over one-on-one to listen to it from start to finish. There was silence all the way thru, and at the end each one of them thanked me, got up & left without further discussion - THAT was how HARD it hit everyone - PHEW, it's emotional to recall
Pink Floyd is unique in that their back up singers are not really back up. Their voices are layered throughout the live performances as truly part of the music.
Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon Album is in essence about Death. An event that all of humanity is destined to experience at one point or another, in one way or another be it our own death or the death of a loved one. Depending on each individual's level of compassion and acceptance of death, persistent traumatic grief can cause us to cycle through the 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. These stages are our attempts at processing change brought about by the traumatic loss of a loved one or the acceptance of ones own mortality and to protect ourselves while we adapt to our new reality. A reality that will be grounded in how well, or not, we managed through the 5 stages of grief mentioned above. Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky is about such a journey. The opening lyrics start with denial and end with acceptance. Reaction ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Selection ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It takes a lot of courage to cover this song after Ms. Torry's original performance. These ladies did a wonderful job and are to be applauded. Do listen to the original studio release, though. It's peerless.
I believe that they needed to have three vocalists to sing this on tour. For one person to sing the entire song every performance would have been near impossible.
@@420since1974 Clare Torry's studio performance of this track is one of the greatest recordings of the female human voice EVER. And she took two and a half takes, and the great Alan Parsons mixed it into that recording. Sheer brilliance. When Pink Floyd perform this live, they always use three vocalists because, as you said, it would be near impossible for one vocalist. Ready to have your mind blown? Amy Smith of "The Australian Pink Floyd Show" (a PF tribute band that prides itself on getting EVERY NOTE PERFECTLY) performs all three parts live. Solo. One take. I've heard MANY singers try to sing this just like Clare, and they have their own little nuances. Some are okay, some murder it. Amy Smith NAILS IT. The only performance that even approaches Clare's supreme effort. You can thank me later. ua-cam.com/video/ltt_YScyCVg/v-deo.html
The instrument David is playing is a console steel guitar. It's a type of slide guitar that's played by sliding a steel bar on the strings while plucking them.
You got it. It was their way of communicating so much feeling with no lyrics. The instrument is called a "steel guitar" or a "slide guitar". It is used a lot in Country music but of course in the hands of David Gilmore it can sound out of this world. Another great reaction Bisscute! 😗💕, PJ
Sam Brown. Friend and fellow ukulele player to George Harrison. Sang Horse to the Water at Harrisons memorial concert. Thankfully her 'lost' voice is slowly returning.
The blond back-up singer is Sam Brown. Sam was a solo "Pop Music" artist during this period and even had a #1 hit on the UK charts. Sam was offered an opportunity to perform with Pink Floyd in a back-up capacity and she jumped at the chance to play with them putting her own carrier in a brief hiatus. Such was the degree of respect that Pink Floyd held in the industry. The band took their name from two old black blues musicians from North Carolina, PINK Anderson and FLOYD Council. Just FYI.
@@DrSkeff True! She damaged her vocal cords. Can you imagine having that level of talent, love to sing and then it is taken away from you. I feel so sorry for Linda Ronstadt. Singing was like breathing to her and now Parkinsons has silenced her. She said she can't even sing in the shower anymore. No muscle control. Both women though handle it extremely well! No "poor, poor pitiful me" from either of them.
I _LOVE_ this song! It makes me cry almost every time I hear it.(the original) I have requested to have it played at my funeral. Such a beautiful song.
hey bisscute, om so glad you checked this out, and at the same time i write this with a sence of sadness.. the first singer on this take was Sam Brown, a singer i grew up with, listening to her solo albums, on witch David Gilmour did guest appearences , She is best known for her hitsong "stop!", look it up, you will love it. The reason i got sad is that in 2007 she lost her singing voice. She had a cyste removed on her vocal cords, but she never got her singing voice back, so tragic. One of the best vocalists outhere imho.
How lucky are we to have such talented musicians bringing us music like this to listen to!! And there is a lifetime of great songs out there to discover. I think this one took you by surprise Biss. . . . Thanks for your reaction. Good job!
Very good from Spain, first of all I am using the google translator since my English is very bad. I watch your videos whenever I can and this is one of the best for being a Pink Floyd song. As you comment in the video there are 3 vocalists, right, each one sings a different tone, with a different mood... right? This song talks about death, about what a person feels when they leave this world, the first vocalist represents euphoria, ignorance of death. The second vocalist represents the fatigue fight of death and the third vocalist represents the victory of death and to stop suffering an intense fight with it. I hope everything is clarified, a big kiss from Barcelona (Spain).
Mind blowing is the perfect term to describe this performance. I do agree with everyone and check out the original version but this performance is amazing as well. Love the reaction Biss!! ❤👏🔥
I love this version and it’s really great, but it can never match the original sung by Clare Tory on the original album, in my opinion. It was an iconic moment in musical history that can never be repeated. I’m so grateful that moment was captured and recorded so that we could all hear and experience it for generations. Thank you for reacting to this version as well, you were brilliant!
I wasn't checking your channel for a while... "Great Gig In The Sky" has led me here again, and I see... you're keep getting more bisscute ❤ Wish you all the best!
The instrument you're liking at the beginning is a pedal steel guitar. It's mostly used in country music, but the way its used in this song is spectacular.
That is what is called a lap steel guitar David is playing, the Ladies are portraying in raw emotion the transitions into leaving life, stages of dying, fear, denial, anger, resistance and finally acceptance, Awesome stuff indeed.
This is a great, live version from the amazing Pulse Concert, those ladies were awesome when I saw them. But you need to hear the original with Claire Torrey on vocals, it is the audio they will hear as we explore the cosmos! Do Dark Side of the Moon, it is part of your musical education. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶.
Last Saturday I spent 3 hours at a Pink Floyd Experience concert with my son and two of his friends. This tribute band has covered Pink Floyd for 30 years. During the intermission, I said to one of the friends that I knew they were performing this song and I hoped that they wouldn't stuff it up. They didn't, and actually received the most applause that evening.
this song tells the story of a woman through the 3 stages of her life. Maiden, Mother and Crone, from classical folklore...all without words...pure emotion...so beautiful!
In this song, the vocalist learns they are dying and then processes it. You picked up on the emotions of that process - well done. And the instrument is a pedal steel guitar. In the right hands, like this absolute master guitarist, it can be incredibly evocative. Thanks for your videos.
The blonde girl is Sam Brown who sang STOP. The second is Durga McBroom who also played Heels in the Flashdance movie. The third is Claudia Fontaine who sadly died.
Fantasic reaction! I am really pleased you finally got to this one. Pretty much everyone has the same reaction when they hear it for the first time but imagine what it was like to hear it when it was first released. As an oldie, I did! This track and the Album were ground breaking, there had been nothing like it before and IMHO nothing like it since. That's why it's in the top ten all time best sellers. I was also at one of the 1994 PULSE concerts at Earls Court. I believe this was the one broadcast on 20th October 1994. What many reactors to this may not realise is that it was not just one concert at Earls Court but a series of 15 (yes, fifteen!) done as 6 consective from the 12th to the 17th, 5 consecutive from 19th to the 23rd and 4 consecutive from the 26th to the 29th. How they were still standing at the end of all that is beyond me. The first concert was cut short due to a seating collapse. I have heard lots of you youngsters say they wonder what it was like to be there and experience it live. I can tell you that for me, it was the best concert I have ever been to. It was so much more than a concert. It was a total, audio-visual, sensory experience that flowed in a carefully choreographed way from one track to another and of course with the whole of Dark Side of the Moon performed exactly as per the album. Earls Court is a massive venue with great acoustics so the size and participation of the audience added to the electrcity of it. It was a truly great thing to have experienced and I feel very lucky to have been there. By the way, the blonde lady in the backing singers is Sam Brown. She is the daughter of Joe Brown who was a famous Rock and Roll/Skiffle/Rhythm & Blues artist in the early 60's here in the UK.
Bisscute, this is a short version or prelude to the next song, as the concert continues. Like your reaction to this..Amazing Reaction Bisscute you are a wonderful individual...❤❤😢😢
Your reaction @1:13 is all you need to know about Pink Floyd being any good. I was in the crowd when they played this live in Australia and pretty much the whole audience reacted the same way. Epic song, glad to see you finding some new music in your life for some inspiration!
The singers are (in order of appearance): Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, and her sister Lorelei. They do it very well, but there's nothing like the original version with Claire Torry.
The strange thing about Pink Floyd .... not particular that song ... they manage to give you goosbumps, taking you places, boost your emotions to a point of explosion, but at the same time, it makes you feel so peaceful, so calm and so relaxed, like you are in some kind of meditation process, listening to them.
David Gilmour plays a slide guitar in the beginning. In Fat Old Sun, he starts with an Spanish guitar and then continues with a slide guitar. It's a fantastic song,too.
Fantastic reaction to a spectacular performance! Also, your new fashion look is amazing! I did not want to minimize your screen so that I could type this!
SAM BROWN (The Blond woman is a PHENOMENAL Singer! Her Dad was also a famous musician in London but of a TOTALLY different genré) Im sure ive seen this song in a longer version though!? Either way, Sam Brown - Phenomenal! 👌🏻 🏴🇬🇧
The guiter you saw david gilmour playing was a slide guiter, you use a metal or wood or plastic tube on your fingers sliding it up and down while picking notes with your other hand and thats why it sounds so beautiful
I love that. Eye liner you put on it exsintuates your buitiful eyes You don't need words. Biss It's the way you.sing that creates emotion . You can't really describe what music can do. It's a gift from god.Yes, you should hear the album version. When she was younger. Like you. I don't want to sound vain. But she sounded even more spectacular. This was a number one album for a long time. She still sounds amazing. After all these years. These are the best years of your life biss if you down some times God will comfort you 😂😮😅😊❤
That's a pedal steel guitar. He's playing the neck of the guitar by sliding a glass tube in his left hand and picking the notes with his right. Basically, its a guitar set into a table so you can play it face up - sort of like Jeff Healey plays - my favorite part of the video is when David Gilmore stops playing near the end and just watches the last singer finish up.
"Sam Brown - Stop" was a good hit for her in her solo days, good CD too...a great track on that about drinking tea. The 2nd singer was solo as "Black Pearl" her song "Naked in The Rain" was a great dance track back in the day----Anyone in the UK remember that Nurofen TV advert?
Love your reaction!🖤 Love the sound of the steel guitar too played by David Gilmour .The steel guitar originated in the Hawaiian Islands in 1885.Then became popular in country music in the USA. Then went on to some rock music. You can take a steel bar you can purchase in a music store and slide it across your guitar frets and get a similar effect.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .

The band handed out cards with words on with little sayings to the staff in the studio. I believe the words were from the janitor.

Imagine you have just been told that you are going to die.
You go through a series of emotions from anger to acceptance.
The ladies take you through those emotions.
Knowing what the song is about beforehand is whole another level of experience than going in blind. Triple the shivers
Yep. It’s basically what the death process would sound like if it was music, much like the Allman Brothers’ “Jessica”.

Welcome to the greatest band of all time, Pink Floyd.
PULSE concert is the greatest concert ever in the history. Im hoping you react more songs from this concert.
Background singers were always important on Pink Floyd songs. The genius of this was giving the background singers the center stage.

Bisscute, Pink Floyd is Powerful Music!!!!!!!!!! I'm 70 still Rock n Roll!!!!!
and my heart and my hand...
I wasn't checking your channel for a while...
"Great Gig In The Sky" has led me here again, and I see... you're keep getting more bisscute ❤ Wish you all the best!
The instrument you're liking at the beginning is a pedal steel guitar. It's mostly used in country music, but the way its used in this song is spectacular.
I love that this is basically Pink Floyd, one of the most famous bands in history, playing back up band to a woman with an amazing voice.
they make it seem so easy but the amount of Breath and vocal control is amazing !!!!
That is what is called a lap steel guitar David is playing, the Ladies are portraying in raw emotion the transitions into leaving life, stages of dying, fear, denial, anger, resistance and finally acceptance, Awesome stuff indeed.
The intro was so deep.. a travailing prayer... from the gut, the soul... lovely.. Love your reaction Bisscute
So sweet but yet so strong. Good qualities for music and people. Very sweet reaction. KEEP ROCKING. From a old but still strong man
This is a great, live version from the amazing Pulse Concert, those ladies were awesome when I saw them. But you need to hear the original with Claire Torrey on vocals, it is the audio they will hear as we explore the cosmos! Do Dark Side of the Moon, it is part of your musical education. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶.
Last Saturday I spent 3 hours at a Pink Floyd Experience concert with my son and two of his friends. This tribute band has covered Pink Floyd for 30 years. During the intermission, I said to one of the friends that I knew they were performing this song and I hoped that they wouldn't stuff it up. They didn't, and actually received the most applause that evening.
this song tells the story of a woman through the 3 stages of her life. Maiden, Mother and Crone, from classical folklore...all without words...pure emotion...so beautiful!
In this song, the vocalist learns they are dying and then processes it. You picked up on the emotions of that process - well done. And the instrument is a pedal steel guitar. In the right hands, like this absolute master guitarist, it can be incredibly evocative.
Thanks for your videos.
Your reaction was genuine. Thank you.
You’re a beautiful and wonderful young lady Biss! You’re one of my very favorite reactors! Much luv to you 🙂💯
And THAT is what an eargasm looks like!!!! 💗💗
A very worthy cover of an enigmatic original song from one of the best-ever band's studio singer's wordless heart-breaker of a melodic tune.
Sam Brown, one of the greatest female voices ever
Every single time she really goes for it at the end really chokes me and I still don't know why. (then she sings like an angel). Fantastic.
This album is one where you have to put on headphones, dim the lights, lay down and listen all the way through…
The blonde girl is Sam Brown who sang STOP. The second is Durga McBroom who also played Heels in the Flashdance movie. The third is Claudia Fontaine who sadly died.
I'm really glad you had enjoyed. Was great to watch you having so much emotions.
Pink Floyd to me Is musical genius so different so perfect 😁
I get tears everytime I hears this you are absolutely beautiful with or without bangs :)
Dud she looks anglic other times what a gem
Fantasic reaction! I am really pleased you finally got to this one. Pretty much everyone has the same reaction when they hear it for the first time but imagine what it was like to hear it when it was first released. As an oldie, I did! This track and the Album were ground breaking, there had been nothing like it before and IMHO nothing like it since. That's why it's in the top ten all time best sellers.
I was also at one of the 1994 PULSE concerts at Earls Court. I believe this was the one broadcast on 20th October 1994. What many reactors to this may not realise is that it was not just one concert at Earls Court but a series of 15 (yes, fifteen!) done as 6 consective from the 12th to the 17th, 5 consecutive from 19th to the 23rd and 4 consecutive from the 26th to the 29th. How they were still standing at the end of all that is beyond me. The first concert was cut short due to a seating collapse.
I have heard lots of you youngsters say they wonder what it was like to be there and experience it live. I can tell you that for me, it was the best concert I have ever been to. It was so much more than a concert. It was a total, audio-visual, sensory experience that flowed in a carefully choreographed way from one track to another and of course with the whole of Dark Side of the Moon performed exactly as per the album. Earls Court is a massive venue with great acoustics so the size and participation of the audience added to the electrcity of it. It was a truly great thing to have experienced and I feel very lucky to have been there.
By the way, the blonde lady in the backing singers is Sam Brown. She is the daughter of Joe Brown who was a famous Rock and Roll/Skiffle/Rhythm & Blues artist in the early 60's here in the UK.
Great info Martin! You are one lucky guy to have been there and watched it live.
Bisscute, this is a short version or prelude to the next song, as the concert continues. Like your reaction to this..Amazing Reaction Bisscute you are a wonderful individual...❤❤😢😢
"...not helping my emotions here." I love this song. You had the best reaction I've seen, and I've seen many. You got it..... right from the start.
Thank you so much ❤️
That is Sam Brown. I was at this concert and it was a night I will never forget. Music like this will never be repeated.
Your reaction @1:13 is all you need to know about Pink Floyd being any good.
I was in the crowd when they played this live in Australia and pretty much the whole audience reacted the same way.
Epic song, glad to see you finding some new music in your life for some inspiration!
I have selected this as a piece to be played at my funeral. Nuff said.
Hi there, nice reaction video. The instrument David Gilmour is playing is called a lap-steel guitar.
What a masterpiece!!!
And your reaction is amazing! You are so beautiful!
I love your reaction and analysis. This is about the stages of Death. Anger, resentment and fight, and finally acceptance. Truly, truly brilliant.
Thank you so much, glad you love it ❤️
Truly amazing reaction to such an amazing song, tune. Voice! Vocalarity. Voquaility. Mind blowing actually
The singers are (in order of appearance): Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, and her sister Lorelei. They do it very well, but there's nothing like the original version with Claire Torry.
The strange thing about Pink Floyd .... not particular that song ... they manage to give you goosbumps, taking you places, boost your emotions to a point of explosion, but at the same time, it makes you feel so peaceful, so calm and so relaxed, like you are in some kind of meditation process, listening to them.
It's worthwhile to also listen to the studio version from DSotM, and the live version off _"The Delicate Sound of Thunder"._
I like your 'new' look Miss Bisscute, you look like a true Hard Rocking & Rolling / Heavy Metal chick. 👍👍🔥🔥🎸🎸🎶🎶🎵🎵
Muzicalizarea, vocalizarea și armoniile nivelează pe Dumnezeu. Adevărata artă a muzicii. Mulțumesc pentru distribuire. Salutari din Argentina.🌹🍀
Great to see a young Floyd fan , welcome t50 years of me 👍✊️✊️✊️✌️
the singer at the beginning It's Sam Brown. famous in the late 80s for her song Stop. Greetings from Chile!
Not a word said . A masterpiece , but , we are talking about Pink Floyd . . They take your.soul .
Awesome great reaction beautiful Bisscute 👍
My new fave Bisscute reaction ❤
The blonde singer is Sam Brown, she became famous with the song Stop (1988). Also some violins in that song 😁
Your eyes say it all...this is very pure reaction to this masterpiece.
Really good and sincere reaction. I remember listening to it way back in the 70's. The whole album is great! Adios chica.
David Gilmour plays a slide guitar in the beginning. In Fat Old Sun, he starts with an Spanish guitar and then continues with a slide guitar. It's a fantastic song,too.
I loved your reaction -- you are a treasure, so honest and true.
Surrendering to dying. So beautiful and does give goosebumps. ❤
Great reaction to a great song and band. No wonder you were having goosebumps. 😀😃😄😁
"I can't believe how fast it went by.". Such is life.
I regard this as pure female soul. As a man I can appreciate this and, yes, it does give me goose bumps and makes me want to cry.
Fantastic reaction to a spectacular performance! Also, your new fashion look is amazing! I did not want to minimize your screen so that I could type this!
SAM BROWN (The Blond woman is a PHENOMENAL Singer! Her Dad was also a famous musician in London but of a TOTALLY different genré) Im sure ive seen this song in a longer version though!? Either way, Sam Brown - Phenomenal! 👌🏻 🏴🇬🇧
Just be yourself never go wrong with Floyd you doing awesome job👍😎
It's a slide guitar - laid horizontally it uses a metal slider to choose the notes. Very interesting approach musically - different way to express.
She HAS a powerful voice... love it.
Amazing reaction little one 😊
Pink Floyd takes you on a journey of sound and emotion.
The guiter you saw david gilmour playing was a slide guiter, you use a metal or wood or plastic tube on your fingers sliding it up and down while picking notes with your other hand and thats why it sounds so beautiful
It's actually called a "Lap Steel" guitar
I love that.
Eye liner you put on it exsintuates your buitiful eyes You don't need words. Biss It's the way you.sing that creates emotion
. You can't really describe what music can do. It's a gift from god.Yes, you should hear the album version. When she was younger. Like you. I don't want to sound vain. But she sounded even more spectacular. This was a number one album for a long time. She still sounds amazing. After all these years. These are the best years of your life biss if you down some times God will comfort you 😂😮😅😊❤
slide guitar i believe. watching you cry makes me cry. Thank you!
This is one of the best concerts ever. You should react to everything from it, especially Money!
Pink Floyd is for the ADVANCED music listener. 💥💥💥👍😎
That's a pedal steel guitar. He's playing the neck of the guitar by sliding a glass tube in his left hand and picking the notes with his right. Basically, its a guitar set into a table so you can play it face up - sort of like Jeff Healey plays - my favorite part of the video is when David Gilmore stops playing near the end and just watches the last singer finish up.
I think this is a representation of like the three steps,of dealing with death when it’s time.Damn Pink Floyd is so good.
"Sam Brown - Stop" was a good hit for her in her solo days, good CD too...a great track on that about drinking tea. The 2nd singer was solo as "Black Pearl" her song "Naked in The Rain" was a great dance track back in the day----Anyone in the UK remember that Nurofen TV advert?
it's a Lap-Steel guitar he's playing with a slide!
Love your reaction!🖤 Love the sound of the steel guitar too played by David Gilmour .The steel guitar originated in the Hawaiian Islands in 1885.Then became popular in country music in the USA. Then went on to some rock music. You can take a steel bar you can purchase in a music store and slide it across your guitar frets and get a similar effect.
