Dan and Sifa, thank you for playing this version from 1994....oh how time passes! Whoever can tackle this vocalese song I admire because it is very difficult to get the emotions right considering it is about dying. I saw the Floyd in 1979, sans Waters, but the musicianship was spot on and it is great David is passing his experience on to Romany and also Charlie, who wrote lyrics for the new album. Hope you get to see them in the States because I don't think I will see them in Australia again....but I still cross my fingers!
The 2nd singer, Durga McBroom, probably had the longest tenure as a Floydette. She was also in a band called Blue Pearl with Youth from Killing Joke. It was mostly dance music, but unusually, I liked it. Gilmour and Wright played on some of their songs. They have a video called Alive where Gilmour does a solo whilst popping out of a flower. As far as I'm concerned, anytime you put Floyd members together with Killing Joke members, you can't go wrong.
2nd singer is Durga McBroom. And her sister Lorelei McBroom sings (or sang) for The Australian Pink Floyd show which is an excellent cover band. Or was it the English cover band, I don't remember. One of those bands got their blessings from David Gilmour.
So the first lady singing is the wonderful Sam Brown, unfortunately she's had vocal cords issues and even after an operation she still couldn't hold a note, she can't sing any more, she did have a hit herself With a song called STOP, which she co-wrote, and is a little bit of a classic in itself, now her career writing songs for other people, she's also a daughter of a British legend Joe Brown who had quite a few hits in Britain in the 60s and will plays everything with strings.
A great song and this is a fine version but you can't beat the DSOTM version with Clare Torry doing the vocals, better, than the 3 vocalists trying to cover her here. Blue pearl has been mentioned but Sam Brown had a successful time in the 80's with about 8 top 20 singles hits. Her father was a big rock n roll star in the 50's/60's, joe Brown. I saw a concert from this tour incidentley. While this is good, it lacks the "Soul" Clare Torry had. nevertheless, good pick and good reaction
Ah I was just going to point of that David just finished a concert tour for his new album, along with Romany (his daughter), but you obviously went to see him live. Not bad for being 78! And Romany is indeed talented. She excels at Between Two Points: ua-cam.com/video/Yv4--p6bAxo/v-deo.html ( David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour - Between Two Points (Later... with Jools Holland) ) She has inherited some of David's musical genius, and looks remarkably like a young David as in this wonderful photo album of Romany growing up: ua-cam.com/video/T_gQ_D5yhAE/v-deo.html ( David Gilmour and Romany Gilmour - Kokineli )
DARK AND THEN THERES SOME SIGHT not only do ya`ll put up top shelf material BUT bonus get some great dudes replying that know some stuff like Durga McBroom... I`ll never forget that Lad... thanks again & giddyup SIGHT AFTER DARK
This is one of the greatest songs EVER in my book... It used to be on the RADIO back in the 70s 80s often.
That entire concert is the gold standard for live performance. I was lucky to see the Pulse tour in Foxboro MA, mind blowing!

Pink had great backup singers...the soul and the interpretation of dying,

Thanks for sharing Martin!

Singing about death can be beautiful

Rick and David were always in dialog with each other
Absolutely
Beautiful song 👍.
Nothing can top the original.
Yay! This is my fave version of this. (I’m in that wave too)Thanks SaD!
Great pick Amber! I think you were the one who put this into the SAD poll. I had never seen this version before. Those ladies can saaaaang!!
@ I did. Thanks!
We love that you’re part of the wave!

A man of taste, nice one! Love Sam, every time I hear the raw throated scream she lets out at 2:16 it sends shivers down my spine, glorious.
Thanks for the info!

Nice but I still say Clare Torry did it better.
Edit: I'm 99% sure that's a pedal steel that Gilmour is playing.
It is a pedal steel.
You beat me to it!

Love the energy! Thanks so much for being here!
@@SightAfterDark could use some more time in the day, can ya`ll do moi a solid on that account... even the wifey agrees
Never thought Clare Torry could be beat, but I believe she was here. To me this is the greatest improv rock song ever.
Agree. At least it’s on par with Torry’s which you’d never think could be better.
Should have went for the original studio version first.
We’ve heard it thousands of times. Wouldn’t be much of a reaction :)
@@SightAfterDark A thousand?
@@williamwallace5857 probably more. Dark Side of the moon is Dan’s favorite album, and his father’s favorite album 😂
