@@kristofferanensen7983 You're probably right. But the genius thing about Pink Floyd is that everyone can associate it with something else but the feelings remain the same. No other band has accompanied me my entire (57 year old) life. And btw thanks for this beautiful one Answer
You have to love the little smile that Claudia does when she finishes. Resignation and acceptance, yes nailed that one. Just an overall classic performance by all 3 ladies.
Happy 50th Anniversary to all us Pink Floyd fans. My first time hearing Dark Side Of The Moon was in my parents basement on their stereo with my best bud and a wine skin plus 3 fat ones in 1973. If you don't believe in the divine your not listening. 🙏 🍁
I’ve saw several people die and they were all the same. The body takes its last gasps to hold on to life then peace at the end. This performance captures this perfectly.
...I watched before your reaction an interview with Clare Torry (who sang the studio version of this), where she talks about what an amazing coincidence it was, that Pink Floyd and her crossed paths that way... Richard Wright (the keyboarder) only had the piano part ready, but the band felt, that there was something missing, and they asked her to just improvise with her voice... no words... just use it as another instrument, and on the spot she came up with this, or rather: it emerged out of her... such a miracle 🌈
Dear Sarah, Thank you for this beautiful contribution. I enjoy this masterpiece of art since 1973. I think you experienced this just as it was meant to be. On one side enjoying the beautiful voices and melodies, on the other had experiencing the expressions of fear, pain, agony, stress, acceptance and so on. It's human, of the world and spiritually at the same time. Thanks you for your comment and for expressing your feelings with us. I wish you a great en joyful life.
You get it exactly. It is so emotionally powerful. One of Rick's greatest compositions. My sister died unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago. This video is the first time I've dared to listen to Great Gig since then. I probably shouldn't have chosen to do so during a break at work - I had to shut my door until I could stop crying. But, it's important to feel these emotions and let them out. In the end, we must all go to our own Great Gig in the Sky. I miss you, my sister.
Your reaction pretty much sums up my reaction every time I hear this song and my reaction hasn't changed in 50 years!! The way these women express this song through their talent. Unreal!! RIP Claudia (the last singer)
I grew up in a magical time, I'm 64 and being a child with a Transistor hand held Radio in 2nd and 3rd Grade I can still remember where I was when I heard the Rolling Stones for the first time. As I listen to this I feel as if I'm traveling back in time. Thank You for sharing!
I love this band, been a diehard fan since back in the '70s. The original release of this song with Clare Torry doing the vocals will always be my favorite, but these three ladies did a fabulous interpretation and should be applauded long and loud. Thank you, ladies, and thank you, Sarah. Great reaction.
Sarah wonderful reaction. Very genuine and I truly appreciate reactors who get into specific bands and dont just skip from most popular to the next. Thank you
Around 6:53 in your video you say: "I don't know how to explain it, it's a powerful piece, just leaves you with your imagination". This song became one of the most important of this album, and yet originally, this "instrumental" track was only intended to fill the gap at the end side A on the album. What a wonderful way to fill an empty space. In Montreal, the three singers received a standing ovation of more than three minutes at the end of this song.
Pink Floyd is the piller to the modern ,classical, hard rock and many other styles of music. And to think someone else will come along and aces them , well after 50 plus years has not happened and I don't see that it could. Thanks for the wonderful reaction.
After 50 years, and 1000+ times listening to Dark Side Of The Moon, and this song in particular, there is no loss of Potency, if you just let yourself be in the moment, and put "life" aside.
Even though this song is about coming to terms with your own death, in your last moments, it somehow also feels like a warm blanket. Others have probably already said that nothing can touch the original studio version with Clare Torey, but I personally like this version with three different vocalists, each representing different stages of grief, pain, and finally acceptance.
Is there a more iconic song by Pink Floyd than this? Back in the day it was one of my dreams to see them live, then after seeing my first concert it was my dream to immediately see them again. IMO they were the best live show ever bar none. thx Sarah.
Love the way each woman got to showcase their individual talent! Quite dramatic and still as moving as when I first heard Clare Torry on the DSotM album = TEARS IN MY EYES still after all this time and countless hearings of the song!
The beautiful thing about Floyd is... once it touches you, it will always get that response from your emotions. Really amazing on so many levels because PF helps you learn more about yourself as you paint the musical images in your own head.
😥dedicated to my dear young friend, whose journey ended far too soon. It's all behind her now, no more suffering, no more stages of grieving. Fly high CW, watch over us as we watched over you. 😇😥🌹
@@sunnystormy4973 Condolences. My mom passed away when I was 10 weeks old, and my Dad didn't want me. I imagine it was worse for you because you knew her, I'm sorry for that. Either way, it leaves a mark, changes us. Take care 😇✌️🕊️
So powerful! Those woman’s voice’s, just incredible! I have seen many classic rock bands live from the 70’s and 80’s, my regret, not ever seeing Pink Floyd, eagles, Rush or Dio! Simple!😉👍
I was with my mum in the last months of her life right to her very end, after battling luekemia for quite some time. This song personifies the stages she went through. Especially the last 24 hours. That was 12 years ago now and it still makes me cry and think about my mums personal struggle, acceptance and then when she let go. Incredible vocals, incredible song.
The other possibility here is that what we hear is our grandmothers communicating the joy of living. I really respect and appreciate the extent to which you take many songs so personally, Sarah, and share that with us.
The studio version on "Dark Side Of The Moon" blew me away the day I first heard it, on release of the vinyl, & it still does. This is as good a version Live, as I have ever heard.
Sarah - I love how emotional you get listening to Pink Floyd and especially David Gilmour. Here are a couple others for you to consider reacting to: High Hopes and Sorrow. Both versions on the David Gilmour Live at Pompei are great choices.
Hi Sarah, I believe it last you to do one of the last albums from Pink Floyd: The Division bell. It is a worthy album. Or if you want only to do songs do High Hopes, from that same album.
I have what is known as a progressive terminal illness and, as you can imagine, I think about the end stage from time to time. This song, familiar from my younger days, has helped ever so much. I feel the person who wrote this must have witnessed this stage of life.
The three singers was only told to sing the emotions that they would feel if they were going through the five steps of death starting with denial and working down to accept it. It was all done in one take and all had ad libed by the singers.
The original is still the best. No one gives full force to these lyrics like Claire Torry, who was just told to improv them from nowhere. Don't get me wrong, these three ladies did a great job, but nothing beats the original in my mind. Great video and great reaction!
As if this piece wasn't emotional enough, there is the heart breaking knowledge that the first of the singers for this performance, Sam Brown, is no longer able to sing like this. She had produced a number of solo albums in her career but then suffered damage to her vocal chords some years back now, but still remains a positive person and hopes that maybe one day it may improve. She has tried to find ways around this with her latest album, by fully utilising current studio technology to pitch correct her damaged vocals, the technique is widely employed throughout contemporary music, but the majority of artists would not be so honest about using it.
Pink Floyd.....1994...Earls Court ...I was there.......this version is second only to the original with Clare Torry doing the vocals in one take. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
This still touches my emotions after listening to it for nearly 50 years. Beautiful, chilling, emotional.
I agree 100% , saw this concert in Philly . It was absolutely beautiful but soul wrenching.

Ditto
You have to love the little smile that Claudia does when she finishes. Resignation and acceptance, yes nailed that one. Just an overall classic performance by all 3 ladies.
This particular rendition of 'Great Gig in the Sky' is unusually spine tingling and tear jerking. These great ladies just nail this so amazingly well.
Welcome to 50 years of my kind of music 👍✊️✊️✊️✌️

Ah the wine skin. A must for every concert, back in the day lol

Nothing beats the original version on the album.
Great masterpiece by Richard Wright and Clare Torry. Makes me cry every time I hear it. RIP Mr Wright

This song makes me remember my brother who passed as well, sorry for your loss. Good to feel it and let it out as you said
This song also reminds me of my dad and it describes his emotional stages during his battle with cancer... At the end there's always peace 🥺
Thank you for your reaction. Great

A beautiful soul, i think she looks like an angel
Thank you for that great reaction.

Greatest band in the world.
When you piece together highly talented musicians this is the end result. RIP Richard. We miss you ❤xx
What a beautiful reaction. I feel the same. I saw this live back in ´94 and it is engraved into my mind.. best music experience ever...
It made you cry. That's so on point with the goal of the movement.welcome
Same for me. Listened to this for 50 years and it still brings a tear. 🙏❤️
Great exploration of this amazing piece of music. Thank you, Sarah!

Well done, my dear. Thank you…
And You are special, very emotional... Very nice.
Hits me in the feel goods every time also
RIP Claudia Fontaine, your voice was beautiful
This piece gets me everytime to family.... Just let it happen.
Saw Pink Floyd 5 times ! Consequtive nights on this tour and the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour.
like so many other Pink Floyd songs, I have played this hundreds of times and it never fails to make me an emotional wreck

"I am not frightened of dying. Anytime will do, I don't mind. Why should we be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you gotta go sometime."
when I see claudia fontaine (third vocalist) singing with this emotion knowing that she died so early, it gives me chills RIP
She was one of the best RIP Claudia
Arghhh nooo!!! I had no idea! This'll always hot differently now. Bless her heart, may she rest in eternal peace 🌹
Such a beautifully sad song. Bravo
My fav song by my fav band ❤
love listening to music with you!

Very lovely reaction.

Oh Wow ! I hadn't heard Durga McBroom had Passed . very sad.......she had helluva voice .

Oh this version is well up there with the original.....very moving

I urge you to take a look at the performance from the Delicate Sound of Thunder concert. Two of the background singers are different and much better.
As if this piece wasn't emotional enough, there is the heart breaking knowledge that the first of the singers for this performance, Sam Brown, is no longer able to sing like this. She had produced a number of solo albums in her career but then suffered damage to her vocal chords some years back now, but still remains a positive person and hopes that maybe one day it may improve. She has tried to find ways around this with her latest album, by fully utilising current studio technology to pitch correct her damaged vocals, the technique is widely employed throughout contemporary music, but the majority of artists would not be so honest about using it.
Yes, and it is a damn shame! She seems like she is a really nice person and although she misses singing, she is not bitter about it. Class act!
Different stages of dying are called " living". French kisses.
