Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, Claudia Fontaine - in that order
R.I.P. Richard Wright 🎹🎹🎹and Claudia Fontaine🎤 🎵🎶
Oh, wow I did not know Claudia had also passed. So many music greats gone. She appeared in studio and on stage with a lot of bands.
Claudia's dead, that's absolutely gutting! My dad was a session musician and he played with the Eurythmics in the late 90's and Claudia was backing singer, i got to know her well. That's really saddened me
Sam brown always gives me shivers
@@68moptop yeah think she had a cyst or something like that
I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap froged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all.
David finishing his part and starting to watch her...
So cool, cause he likes everyone there.
Great Reaction. The original studio recording is with just one singer. Her name is Clare Torry and she laid down one of the most iconic vocals ever. This version is one of the few live versions of this song that actuallly works. Clare set a high bar back then. I suggest you either listen on your own or react to the original studio version of this song. Clare herself was never able to recreate the magic she captured that day in 1972, as her live attempts at this mostly fell way short.
Song Suggestions: "Time", "Hey You", "High Hopes", "Coming Back To Life"(live versions only), "Keep Talkin"
You should hear the original version featuring Clare Torry😉
This is my favorite Pink Floyd song. No words are needed. You get it without verbalization..
Originally, The Great Gig in the Sky was an innocuous track that was to be used to fill the void ending the side A. In the first demos, a passage from the Bible was read over the piano instrumental, then this was communications from NASA astronauts on mission. With the end result unsatisfying the band members, Alan Parsons (sound engeneer) enlisted the help of Clare Torry, a studio singer. They ask her to provide them with a vocal improvisation with the only indication of thinking about death and the fear it inspires. His high-flying performance perfectly transcribing these recommendations and passing through all emotional stages, from hysterical terror to final appeasement is a centerpiece of the record. Her demonstration over, she would have left the studios quickly apologizing, convinced that she had flopped, under the still dumbfounded and conquered eyes of the four Floyd. A sample of her voice is cut and added to the Speak to Me intro.
The best description I've hear of this song is the vocalization of the 5 stages of grief (denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.).....and it changes the song forever after that.
Forget what you just watched. Get “Dark Side of the Moon”. Listen to Clare Torry on the original Great gig in the Sky.
She improvises what may be the greatest female vocal performance ever recorded.
"The Great Gig In the Sky", or death. The original was a vocal interpretation of 3 stages of dying. Anger, depression and finally acceptance. Clare Torry, the session singer that first performed this song asked what the song is about and David Gilmour just said, "Think about death." Clare improvised the entire thing on the spot. These girls do a wonderful job of recreating the original, but there always is only one original!
Clare Torry's vocals
As the band began casting around for a singer, album engineer Alan Parsons suggested Clare Torry, a 25-year-old songwriter and session vocalist. Parsons had previously worked with Torry, and had liked her voice on a Top of The Pops covers album. An accountant from Abbey Road Studios contacted Torry and tried to arrange a session for the same evening, but she had other commitments, including tickets to see Chuck Berry that evening, so a session was scheduled for Sunday evening between 7 and 10pm.
The band played the instrumental track for Torry and asked her to improvise a vocal. At first, Torry struggled to divine what the band wanted, but then she was inspired to pretend that she herself was an instrument. She performed two complete takes, the second one more emotional than the first. David Gilmour asked for a third take, but halfway through Torry stopped, feeling she was getting repetitive and had already done the best she could. The final album track was assembled from all three takes. The members of the band were deeply impressed by Torry's performance, but were so reserved in their outward response that she left under the impression that her vocals would never make the final cut. She only became aware they were used when she saw the album at a local record store, spotted her name in the credits and purchased it.
In 2004, she sued Pink Floyd and EMI for songwriting royalties on the basis that her contribution to "The Great Gig in the Sky" constituted co-authorship with keyboardist Richard Wright. Originally, she was paid the standard flat fee of £30 for Sunday studio work. In 2005, an out-of-court settlement was reached in Torry's favour, although the terms of the settlement were not disclosed.[8] All releases after 2005 carry an additional credit for "Vocal composition by Clare Torry"[9] for the "Great Gig in the Sky" segment of the booklet or liner notes.
The first part she’s scared of dying the second part she’s going though the tunnel of forgiveness the last part she’s at peace with her self beautiful song 🙏🏻💞🙏🏻
They were soul singing
Entire album of Darkside of the Moon in order will be on your list for things to do this year! Headphones on and sit back for 45 mins of bliss
What's until 1979 that i fully understood this song doing a psychedelic Journey i took that I understood it was about crossing over to the other side
So much emotion without singing a word! Best song on whole album 😊
I'd love to see you react to their "Echoes: live in Pompeii parts 1 & 2."
“Echoes”, played live in the ruins of the city of Pompeii, at a Roman amphitheater. Just jaw dropping.
Play this at my funeral luv....
Simply beautiful
Said it before...I'll say it again...Awesome reaction!! 🙂
Singing like your life depends on it, that's how it is.
Every time I listen to those voices I get chills, goose bumps.
(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
I never said I was afraid of dying)
Death Throes, young lady...you just witnessed genius
Tookie Tookie you’re the best! You’re above all the rest - and I do not jest! You make me wanna do a double back flip with a twist - you awesome Miss! Keep up the good work. You’re making a difference without even probably knowing it. In all sincerity, I like the cut of your jib. Keep dreaming and streaming - Rob #lunchOnTookie
The song has a long story behind it, but it was cool that in the end, it was a great way to highlight the back up vocalists.
Nice
You need to listen to the original, Pink Floyd , Great gig in the sky Claire Torry, vocals. She basically did it in one take.
Look up her interview about this song.
The girls did a great job. No one can sing the original studio cut not even Clare Torry. There was Magic that day in 72. The back up singers on Delicate sound Of Thunder live Album And Movie come the closes to the original
Awesome emotional music ❤
i found out it is called a vocalise vocals with no words
1 of the saddest yet most beautiful tracks they have done , brilliant performance by all the band
Eargasm
The white lady could sing with those two pretty black girls my God ran chills up and down my spine incredible music with their voices was like a piece of heaven for sure
The third vocalist Claudia Fontaine sadly died in 2018. The first vocalist Sam Brown is probably my favourite female vocalist. Here she is singing Stay With Me Baby, one hell of a voice. th-cam.com/video/ACFlm7vX624/w-d-xo.html
If a person is going to listen to this masterpiece for the first time it absolutely MUST be the original.
Quite honestly, there IS not other version. It's like the Mona Lisa: there's only one.
Try pink floyd shine on you crazy diamond live pulse
Try Echoes, live in Gdansk.
Yep go react to the original song (the audio version) with just one singer (Clare Tory)...You will be stunned what she put down on record in 2-½ takes. Way back in 1972/3. Enjoy!
🎸🥁🎤🎶🎶🎶
Its about the death process, and all the stages of going through that.
Although I applaud the attempt by the 3 women to take on one of the most difficult non-lexical songs ever created, I prefer the original Clare Torry version from 1973.
Clare's is the only version, IMO.
To each his own but, you’re nuts. Breaking into three parts enhances the story and intent of the music. Can’t imagine it being done any better
I disagree. This made me tear up, again.
Brasil
That style of singing, u can call "wailing". Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, Whitney were all wailers. And they pretty much got it from the southern churches they grew up in...
BABY! I, practically, not recognized you! 😂Without the red hair and everything! The last time I saw you, you were listening to LED ZEPPELIN, you got red hair! But, SHIT! YOU'RE, FUC..... BEAUTIFUL! WOOOAW! It's, so cool, to look at women like you, listening and, enjoying to music like that! (😂Sorry, I'm, a French, man, apparently, everybody, on that stupid planet, is saying we are pigs, who are charming women! 😭😂It's stupid, sorry! But, today, it's, true, because, I'm a single man, and, when I'm looking at a beauty like you, who enjoy, listening to PINK FLOYD, I'm in love! Sorry!)..... I, recognized your voice and, your accent, in fact! 😂✌️SO, I'm sure it's you! From where are you? South Africa, maybe? Can you tell me? I'm sure, all the other idiots (men😂, and some women too), would like to know too! Anyway! I, really, like your reactions! You have so much other songs to listen to! I will follow you! Kisses from FRANCE MY BEAUTY! ❤️✌️😂😋🎸🇫🇷
awesome reaction, new subscriber from n0rway :) 👍
🤘🏾🥰😍
Hi....jus joined your channel...love the ac dc reactions if you would...could you react to ac dc if you want blood and walk all over you those are two great songs as well...thank you and be safe.
BOO, The ALBUM version is best and the way to your soul. BOO. C'mon TOOKS, GET WITH IT!! Upload that original version. PEACE.
nice you like it
ty for that heart. thats the second time i receive that. wow. i like you listen that song without breaks and comments. thats new for me. others always talk and do and ...
When I bought the 8-track /yes, 8-track for you youngsters/ in '73 Everyone thought I was nutso bc my fave tune was This one, "GREAT GIG IN THE SKY"... Not only did my moms yell at me when I played it, but all my friends thought IT was their least fave on the album/8-track. Well, look at me now, I've got my own Army of Great Gig lovers!!!
Of course, the above video IS NOT THE GREAT ORIGINAL W/ Claire Torrey in the studio...oh well, beggars can't be choosers. If u want greatness, do the original from DARK SIDE....
PEACE Y'ALL.
I met David Gilmour back stage at a concert in California 1984. I asked him about the meaning - reason for “Great Gig In The Sky”…. David’s answer was something like…. .I was asked if Pink Floyd would ever do a song about Religion like some others have… so I said, You are referring to the great gig in the sky they call “God“. What words could be used to describe all the pain and suffering caused by religious beliefs. All the crying and wailing from mothers who lost their husbands or sons in a war fought over religious differences. The only vocals should be just the sound of a mothers crying with pain and suffering. That’s the true intentions of the song. We didn’t want to make that public so as to avoid any religious boycott like what happened to the Beatles after Lennon made his comment about Jesus. We could not tell the singer so as to avoid her making any comments that would end up in the media. The speaking heard at the beginning was recorded at Apple records prior to the recording of the song. Roger Waters placed a recorder at the door asking anyone who walked by to answer some questions into the microphone. The janitor stopped and recorded his answer to the question….”Are You Afraid Of Dying”?. It was decided to add the recording to the start of “Great Gig In The Sky”. It leads people to believe the song is about dying, but that is actually not the case. The Great Gig In The Sky…is GOD … The incredible vocals from Clare Torry happened when she did not know what they wanted. David Gilmour told her to pretend her voice is a Saxophone like on other songs on the album, no words, just tones. Results are legendary.
The song is about death and the stages for grief. It starts out with the screaming being the anguish, sadness and fear and the final calming moaning being the acceptance of death. Beautiful song and the original is better than this live version.
Its the cry of dead
The first PF song I heard was US and Them and it was a major departure from the Zep and Aerosmith I was into at the time. Bought the album and listened to this song and hated it. Despised it even. Didn't get it, didn't think it belonged on an otherwise great album. Today I think it's one of the most beautiful masterpieces ever created in rock. If it's possible the Pulse version is even better than the original.
Thank you for not being white/black with your reaction. We are one, not white not Black, just '' damn that shit is dope ''
You need to go farther back with P F to the late 60s ..Try a couple of songs of the first one and then to Atom Heart Mother and Meddles albums and then the more popular things as time goes on..
Get Some Bose Headphones. you are missing out. :).
This three singers are great, nothing to say about it, but Clare was unbeateble
You can mot beat the original recording
Original voice Clare Tory
Wrong version, seriously dark side of moon
Live is better
Only the original . Nothing else. This is bad cppies.
Nothing comes close to the original studio version.
OK, great reaction on your part , BUT this live version does NOT do the song justice .... if listening to just the studio version of the song , without any video, by the time the first vocal part was half way thru ... you would have had tears running down your cheeks
This was the worst version of this song ever
