  • @theprodigalfrog2941
    @theprodigalfrog2941 6 років тому +36

    There is a you tube video of Clare Tory explaining how this came to be. It appears she walked right into the studio with no knowledge of What Pink Floyd wanted and they told her that it couldn't involve words. She only did two takes of it and the producers wanted more but she said her first version couldn't be surpassed and she left thinking they wouldn't even use it. She was surprised when she was on the song and they used her first take. I thought about that awhile and it still amazes me that the human spirit is and/or can be so creative. This song to me and most others is all about death but its also about what leads up to death. Her voice and the voices used after her are about the anguish that comes knowing you are dying and accepting all be it reluctantly. What raises the human spirit in this song is that it can be so creative as to transfer words (Or sounds if you will) to simply pure emotion. After listening to this, is there really ANYTHING you can say in the written word that would illustrate this any better? I think not!

    • @AlexSilva-zu3te
      @AlexSilva-zu3te 3 роки тому +5

      That is correct. The very first one was "the one". And she made 30 pounds for the job, during the summer 1972. Later, in 2005, she sued Pink Floyd and the record company to be granted as a co-author. She won and they gave her 10 million dollars, good enough for her deserved retirement.

    Those are the most beautiful lyrics ever written! It's amazing how no words were needed to convey this song. The emotional impact is all over the place; highs, lows, happiness, sorrow, pleasure and pain, etc. It's absolutely beautiful!

      Me too. Choked me right the hell up, watching such commitment by Ola and Amy. I can think of no bigger shoes to fill if you're going to try and cover someone else's One Shining Moment performance one evening in a studio in London. Clare dug deep to invent this. She deserves the co-writing credit in every way. These women paid homage magnificently. Magnificently.

  • @lastrada52
    @lastrada52 9 років тому +21

    These musicians are not imitators -- they are "ghosts" of the essence of the real Pink Floyd. That Ola Bieńkowska is simply amazing and must have studied Clare Torry's performance beyond what many before her did. She was probably not even born when "Dark Side of the Moon" was released by Pink Floyd. She deserves the applause. Bianca Antoinette does come very close to perfection here as well. But correct me if I am wrong....on the original "Great Gig In the Sky" Clare Torry sang all the parts. There weren't two vocalists. Many times in these performances, it's always two female vocalists sharing the chores. If I am right, then Clare Torry is an unbelievable artist. I will admit -- this live performance by these two women and the band, is beyond just excellent. Very impressive.

    • @seafox61
      @seafox61 8 років тому

      Clare did indeed sing all the parts. She was amazing. and still is. Unbelievable vocal range but she was a session singer then and paid very poorly for it. Although she did receive huge royalties when the song became PF's greatest. She was unassuming , in the early 70's, and understandably miffed when DSOTM went meteoric ...and eventually got what she deserved. She is still the greatest singer of this in my mind....much s I love the later versions..

Gilmour is an amazing guitar player, he is not about go up and down scales at thousands of miles per hour, he is about play with feeling, creating emotion in whoever listen to his music. "The Great Gig in the Sky" is such as a classic that everybody in the world should know this!
