She has the range to hit all the notes perfectly, and so much more - heart, passion, soul, that brings it to life, makes it her own. Tough song to cover, she nailed it and then some.
Pete Guard There might be hope for Western Civilization if ALL kids today listened to and those who could performed Pink Floyd - but because they don't and they won't, we're all going to go down with the ship.
Becuase pink floyed is integral to the foundations of western thought. Or something like that. Plato, locke, and pink floyed, the holy western trinity. I like pink floyed as mush as the next guy but I feel like you're being just a tad hyperbolic there.
@@ericliu8434 How many top selling albums did Locke or Plato ever release? Pink Floyd is the crowning achievement of western civilization. The moon landing, and the Internet being second and third respectively
Frmr Christian Definitely! Not all the kids are at her level, but that's the nature of the school - a mixture of ages and skill levels (which don't necessarily correlate.)
How many hours did she spend listening, practicing and rehearsing this? She sounds excellent! A few more years and she can probably belt this out as naturally as breathing.
I am a 300 pound rough and ugly biker and want you to know this performance brought a tear to my cheek. I have loved this song for many years and also want you to know you really did it justice. I'm also a musician. I refer to ALL the people involved in this production when I say, your are to be commended. Great job.
Jim Collinson Wonderful! Have a look to my channel I have more than 1, 300 videos of kids playing rock music. I'm continually amazed at the performances.
Your comment is really cool! I thought they were awesome! I love that they're doing amazing classic rock. Kids listening to and performing Pink Floyd is hope for our future!
Her voice has a nice depth and clarity -- unlike most professional singers I've heard try this, who just sound strained and raspy and I can't even listen to it. This is very smooth and beautiful. She has a great voice! And so young. I'm sure she has a bright future in singing.
It was pretty much an average show, until this song happened and I got goosebumps. It's moments like this that are the reason why I spent a decade shooting _School of Rock_ shows.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Crikey, I'd have loved to have been there. Were you involved in the School of Rock filming of California Dreamin'? The lead vocalist on that is a one in a generation talent!
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Ah, thanks for that. Interesting work. Do check that song out though, it's another goosebumps moment! Have a great Xmas wherever you are! :)
You must of been too stoned at the concert or you're too stoned now. I seen Pink Floyd 3 times in '88 and 3 times in '94 and you don't know what you're talking about.
I never make comment on UA-cam but have been a fan of the Floyd for over 45 years (am 58years young) and play a bit of piano. This performance is truly remarkable - Great Gig in the Sky is a seminal piece of music and nothingness off a seminal album. Clare Torry, Roger, Richard, Nick and the Flioyd crew would have to be speechless by this performance. Amazing talent guys and what a voice - NEVER give it up, love it, nurture it and live music forever - old school, new school, opera, death metal, country, rap, muliticultural - all of it Highwood School of Rock you are amazing - from aApua New Guinea
This song is cursed. Absolutely mastered by Clare Torry in like 2 takes on Pink Floyd's classic album "The Dark Side of the Moon". This is one of the best vocal covers I've heard of this song, and it takes serious guts to even attempt it. INCREDIBLE JOB GUYS!!!
She sang all afternoon. Then they asked her to open up, let loose, and she thought she already had. Anyway, we got this. Fun Fact: After all these years she's still pissed off that she was paid as a session muso, and didn't receive any royalties. She tried suing, but got nothing.
Anyone commenting here know how difficult it is to play slide if you have never played it before? Let me answer for you, at any age it is extremely difficult. I have been playing in Pink Floyd tributes for well over a decade now and I still wrestle with the slide parts. Too many people think that Pink Floyd music is real simple to play. Floyd has a feel and if all of the musicians are not in sync, it can get away from them. Whenever people listen to Great Gig they always listen for the singer. Why? Because most of the Great Gig videos here have either Floyd themselves playing the music or an accomplished tribute band. These kids tackled what is in reality a very difficult song for every instrument involved. The dynamics in this song are incredibly difficult, so give these kids a break. They picked a song that people always take for granted, but very few people can actually play.
Besides that, Gilmour plays it on a lap steel which I'd imagine is much different than playing slide on a Les Paul. I'd imagine that getting the same sound out of a Les Paul is well above that kid's skill level, so good on him for giving it a try.
Singer does a nice job and kudos to the kid on keyboards. However, the guitarist just plain sucks, he needs to practice more or give it up. He practically ruins the entire song and drags the other musicians down.
Young lady has a remarkable voice. She must also have tremendous confidence to pull that particular tune off so well. BRAVO! And the other young musicians on stage did a fantastic job. Really really wonderful to see and hear this performance. Lucky it came up on my suggestions.
I just spent a few hours listening to "reactions" to Pink Floyd and tribute bands such as Brit Floyd and The Australian Pink Floyd Show. Those bands have been practicing Pink Floyd covers for more than twice as long as these kids have lived. And this was great. I am wonderfully impressed. The singer has an amazing voice. You are all going on an amazing journey for the rest of your lives.
where does anyone get the right to criticize these kids !! this is where it all starts, school bands, basements and garages of course the vocals are good we are born with that instrument so she is ahead on the curve ... it isn't perfect, but its fun and we all enjoyed it ... keep practicing and never give up !! Rock'nRoll \m/
she's better than the two singers Roger signed for the tour.. I've heard them, they.. just.. don't interprete the song properly.. they just do it, no feelings involved at all :(
Whenever I come back to these school of rock kids singing Floyd songs it makes my day because they sound so good singing the classic music nobody else does anymore
Excellent performance of young musicians! Greater than many professionals. The vocalist is gorgeous, she has a great potential. I have loved their respectful version of Pink Floyd's masterpiece. I feel grateful to this young people!
This is now my favorite vocalist... Please continue with lessons...this is vital... You could be a star one day...i am such a fan of your tone...dont quit... Get with some older musicians later...and spread your wings...
Amazingly beautiful work ... one of my favorite cuts for sure, she nailed it. I love the history and documentaries around this piece of work also. Probably one the most difficult vocal runs ever performed.
NexySaloon all great singers need discipline. It's not all about going on America's Got Talent. Classical singers practice for many years. They start out with Talent then they practice for years
Wow, just wow. One of my favorite songs ever (I'm a 60++ something). Having heard a lot of versions of this song, many of which were just excruuuuuciating, this young gal has done one of the best renditions I've heard. She does the vocals the way Clare Torrey first did them, true to tune and without the self added "flourishes" that can quickly ruin a live performance by a singer - and so often do. Great job kids.
To say that she nailed it is unfair to Clare Torry, The Great Gig in The Sky is longer having parts that would require more power and control, but let's be fair, Pink Floyd have 3 or more experienced and talented singers in their concerts working together to achieve something close what Clare did in one studio take; Talullah has a jaw dropping and wonderful voice that gives anyone goosebumps and show to the world that true talent is there to be discovered. She has the voice and potential to be among the legends, she is impressive is the minimum that I can say about her. Great job!
One of my favorite songs. Nailed it. quite the challenge for the young lady to do the vocals on her own. Over the years I have mostly seen 2 or 3 female vocalists sing it, taking turns since its so demanding vocally. Well done. Pink Floyd should be calling her for their next tour.
Mark Barrett I know, right? Thank you for pointing that out, I try to remain positive, but yes...they are kids. Look through my channel though, and you'll see how these kids grow in the program, and that the best of them become seasoned professionals.
Gotta love this, a small town band, plucking away at a classic, me reaching for the X, and then wow. An angel appears, taking me to somewhere, I'd only though of in my dreams. Oh my god, I felt it. It felt good.
Intro to the vocals from the beginning was absolutely purity of the utmost eloquence of melody and harmony naturally resonates the heavens of angelic bliss here in and forever quaint !!!!!
The singer's name is Talullah Ruff. She is pursuing a career in music, and has her own UA-cam channel.

Thanks for the info
This great Vocal
Very good singer like claire torry
She has so much potential in her it will come out later and she will shine
I don’t think people can understand how incredibly difficult this song is to sing .... good to hear youth doing a song from one of the greatest bands
Yea. I was at the concert and was looking around at everyone like do you understand how amazing this is?
When the vocalist opened up, I literally got chills. Wow.
This song was my mother´s song, which we played at her funeral 2015 at her special request. Many thanks kids for this beautiful performance !!!!!
So sorry for your loss. I lost my mother more than 20 years ago, but I still feel it.
Anch'io ho sempre pensato che vorrei questa canzone al mio funerale?✝️
Girl singing is awesome
This girl needs some real good musicians, she's really amazing. Unbelievable, what a voice.
Fully agree with you
She has the range to hit all the notes perfectly, and so much more - heart, passion, soul, that brings it to life, makes it her own. Tough song to cover, she nailed it and then some.
It's great to see kids today listening to and performing Pink Floyd. There may yet be hope for western civilization.
By long tradition, the first show every new School of Rock location does is The Wall.
Pete Guard There might be hope for Western Civilization if ALL kids today listened to and those who could performed Pink Floyd - but because they don't and they won't, we're all going to go down with the ship.

Whoa!
When the girl started singing, I was blown away! Never thought a kid could pull off the vocals on this track, but I stand corrected!
Frmr Christian Definitely! Not all the kids are at her level, but that's the nature of the school - a mixture of ages and skill levels (which don't necessarily correlate.)
I got goose bumps... she has a set of pipes that is for sure. 10x better than Ariana & Katy,
Frmr Christian Sung well, this song just blasts my tear ducts out.
This girl's jam was like tear duct Drain-o, what fantastic pipes on her.

I concur. this man IS ugly. also, she nailed it. well done.
idk about you man, but you look like Gabe Newell
Holy shit, that girl has a mind blowing voice on her. I actually teared up when she started singing! Fantastic job!
I was going to comment the same thing
THE LEVEL OF TALENT IN THIS YOUNG LADY IS AMAZING, BLESS YOU KID

Good grief! I mean seriously. The thought of trying this on stage, live. Absolutely nailed it. Thrilling voice.

One take, from what I remember. They told her to go in and act like she was going through a couple different emotions: sadness, shock, horror, etc.
She sang all afternoon. Then they asked her to open up, let loose, and she thought she already had. Anyway, we got this.
Fun Fact: After all these years she's still pissed off that she was paid as a session muso, and didn't receive any royalties. She tried suing, but got nothing.
@@paulieplayspoorly She actually reached an undisclosed out of court settlement in 2005, and all releases since then acknowledge her as co writer.
It was one take made up on the fly.
@@paulieplayspoorly There it is, the music business. (One would have thought that people like Pink Floyd could have sorted that out for her!!)
This is amazing! They all crushed it! I’m 65 and it thrills me to know classic rock is long loved! Blessings

Whoever thought that Pink Floyd would be easy to play?? Idiots, maybe?

Joey D you made me laugh hard... yeah, his parents raised him right ;)
Lol the shirt looks like some metal band but its a album from the who
@@diegoholguin8019 i know!!!
This entire band did an excellent job, & the young lady was absolutely phenomenal! One of the best vocal covers I"ve ever heard for the song!!!
To truly be great an artist has to put themselves "out there" and this is one of the most out there songs ever, this young lady is incredible.
THIS GIRL HAS A PURE ROCK KICKASS SOUL. AWESOME.
Holy shit! When she started singing every hair on my arms stood up on end! Well done!
God, I just love it when Pink Floyd transcends generations. So awesome these high school kids are playing this in the 2010s!
Her amazing vocals knocked it out of the park. Fantastic melodical pipes she has indeed.

I’m inspired every time I see young people get Pink Floyd’s great song here. May you all grow up to be rich and successful musicians.
About as good a cover of this incredibly difficult song as you will find anywhere. Very well done.
Is there a LOVE button instead of just a thumbs up?!? Holy hell. Clare Torry would be proud
As a Pink Floyd fan since they started (yes, I am that old!), this is one of the better singers, great gig in the sky.
holy shite. Young lady can hold her own on stage w Pink Floyd. Band is respectable!!! NICE WORK GUYS!
Holy chills! When the girl hit those notes!
This beatiuful cover played by young people, make me believe againg in humanity... Congratulations from Mendoza, Argentina!!!
Hello Roger Waters, I think we foung the singer you were looking for your Us and Them Tour
she's better than the two singers Roger signed for the tour.. I've heard them, they.. just.. don't interprete the song properly.. they just do it, no feelings involved at all :(
Agree!
Good voice and talent girl
@@Petar269724 Agree, those two singers seem to be in competition one with the other and have no sensuality.
Great Rendition of Original...my favorite song without words
I almost left this post...then she sang!
Great job. I find it refreshing to see our younger generation appreciating such great music.
Best vocal cover of that I've ever heard, that girl can really sing, great range and control - blows most current 'pop' stars out of the water.

This is incredible. Took me back to the time I first heard this piece and was just astounded. Got that same feeling tonight. Indescribable.....
Vocals are beautiful, I hope she gets to where she dreams to go in life!
I grew up with Pink Floyd. Watching the movies, listening to my dad play PF on the acoustic.
Brings back great memories.....
This is now my favorite vocalist... Please continue with lessons...this is vital... You could be a star one day...i am such a fan of your tone...dont quit... Get with some older musicians later...and spread your wings...
I wanted to scream, "LOUDER!"... but that girl sure belted it out at first, and did a great job, thanks for posting this rendition, I LOVE this tune
WOW. Clare Torry (who sung on the original version) must be really proud of this young lady's performance
Drop dead gorgeous and an awesome voice, well done young lady. hope to hear more from you.
She's wonderful. The whole performance is really well done, but the singer stands out here moreso than I expected. Bravo!
FABULOUS!!!!! Ive been listening to Dark side of the moon since 1973....the year it came out......this cover is great...
Wow, I got goose bumps the instant she started singing. Not an easy cover, but she did an amazing job.
You did well all musicians through this most difficult Pink Floyd song! Keep it up. It was a great listen.
each of the kids is doing a great job - and the girl is launching a rocket, Gilmour and his friends would be very, very proud
Amazingly beautiful work ... one of my favorite cuts for sure, she nailed it. I love the history and documentaries around this piece of work also. Probably one the most difficult vocal runs ever performed.
Her first note rose the hair on my neck. Tremendous.
This is amazing! I haven't even listened yet, but to do this song is legend!
Nice to see the youth of today actually doing something other than looking at a screen
Great job, so cool to see young kids keeping the fire burning with some of the greatest songs ever written. Job well done by all the kids here!
Umm...just as there are no lyrics for this song, there are no words to capture what she stunningly pulled off.
Awesome.....Pink fan since I born...way to go kids....for the love of music, for the love to rock and roll
SOMEBODY SIGN THAT GIRL, ASAP.
I second the motion, SIGN THAT GIRL!!! What a vocalist!!! What a vocal range!!!
i don't think they do that anymore. the only way to make money now it by playing big arenas but I could be wrong. Amazing voice though.
KTnarnia with some training she could be very good. I see a lot of potential she obviously has talent.
Wow rare natural talent - yes get this gem into a sound studio - no to training, there are too many clones already.
NexySaloon all great singers need discipline. It's not all about going on America's Got Talent. Classical singers practice for many years. They start out with Talent then they practice for years
Was waiting and then.. YES!! she has the voice. Congratulations! All of you.

Awesome . Great job . Good to see another generation listens to Pink Floyd and so young . I only stated when I was in University .

That's a great vocal - Clare Torry would enjoy hearing that.
Excellent performance! All of them did an amazing job on a very difficult song. Brava!
To say that she nailed it is unfair to Clare Torry, The Great Gig in The Sky is longer having parts that would require more power and control, but let's be fair, Pink Floyd have 3 or more experienced and talented singers in their concerts working together to achieve something close what Clare did in one studio take; Talullah has a jaw dropping and wonderful voice that gives anyone goosebumps and show to the world that true talent is there to be discovered.

Omg she sounds amazing it’s probably the best vocal cover I’ve seen recently of this song I hope she got the credit she deserves for this performance
Don’t skip. Just wait for a minute ❤️
Its 5 years later when I am seeing this but damn girl that was incredible! Kudos to the whole group.
From italy....greaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Great emotion from the girl and the piano ... bravo from France ;-)
Guys, thank you for that clip! You touched the heart and got the spirit of the song!
Nice job from such a lovely young lady who took on an impossibly difficult song to sing even from a seasoned pro. Good for her and the group!
Nice job kids, You guys all did a great job. Thank you for the video.
Thank you, glad to make it available.
Deep track for a young band, very tasteful.
10 thumbs up, I’m glad some young folks know what real music is ! Bravo
that brought tears to my eyes, great work as a band.
So cute. How can you not love these kids? And the girls knocks it out of the park with her interpretative vocals.
Man, this is one of the most dificult song and this kid made grate, feels shivers. 👍😁 Fantastic.

Considering it usually takes 3 singers on vocals these days that was excellent
The more of these classes I watch the more impressed I keep getting. Man that is impressive.

ok. good for you
and good skin
with some musical training I bet she could nail it
