Wow, I can see by the other comments that I'm probably in the minority here by liking this version more than the original. The original, sung by Clare Torry, is very impressive. She's got a beautiful voice and belted this song out on the spot in like two takes. The Pulse version is more polished but also very beautiful, it also makes me cry no matter how many times I hear it. The original never does. Anyway, glad you liked it. ✌🏽💗
I personally prefer this version too. But of course the original is absolutely amazing too and Clare Torry of course deserves the main credit for the song.
Clare Tory’s is an entirely different level of greatness when you consider that she made it up in real time in that studio in just a couple takes. This was good too.
@@tonydelapa1911 Yeah definitely.
Angela, I like the Delicate Sound of Thunder the best. Post Waters Floyd the songs are thicker and done better.
Happy to see such a take on this. I'm not sure which version I prefer, but I find it so weird how any attempt to praise this live vocal performance gets drowned out in a sea of "no, Claire" comments. No one is taking away from Claire her central role in what this song has become, no one is insinuating any lack in her vocal skills, yet so many feel compelled to choke every praise for this (live!) performance, quite disrespectfully belittling it. For what I'm concerned, I couldn't have imagined a better live outcome for such a vocally challenging studio song.
When Richard Wright, the keyboardist, died in 2008, it was this song that was sung at his funeral by Durga Mc Broom, one of the Backgroundsinger of the Pink Floyd World Tour. This was his express wish during his lifetime. The rumor persists that none other than Jon Lord accompanied on the piano.
The original can never be replicated, nor should it be. Claire made it her own. However, when you take into consideration that these ladies were on a very long tour and had to do this night after night without destroying their vocal chords I think it puts into perspective just how amazing this performance really is. Sam Brown (blonde lady) is actually a folk singer which shows how versatile she is. For me both the original and the pulse version are equally brilliant for different reasons. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Saw this live at Earls Court london , Once you have heard this live even the original pales in comparison. I still have the original album version but this just hits me so much harder, the passion in this is exquisite .
I agree. These ladies are fantastic and their voices are superb. A great performance.
BUT, the continuity of tone, pitch and emotion from one singer taking on the whole song is tough to top. Clare Torry singing the piece in one take - well, not exactly if you read the history - cannot be beaten.
This song represents life and death. If you notice the 1st part is more intense as if fighting off dying. The second part is going through the realization of death and giving in, which is why it gets calmer towards the end.
I wish I could "LIKE" this song 1,000 times. Thanks
The first half of the concert was them playing their entire THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON album in it's entirety. Then there was a 15-20 minute intermission after which they resumed with tracks from PULSE, DIVISION BELL and earlier album hits. I'll never see AND hear any live show that awesome again. Almost 30 years since and I have yet to.
Ok, come on! How gifted are these three back up singers? And how cool is it that the band gave them an opportunity to shone?
I was there that 🌙 night 94 earls court London..ive had a shit life.but this night gave me hope especially this track from dark side..❤❤❤❤
Take It Back from the PULSE CONCERT is another great live performance by Pink Floyd.
"Pedal Steel Guitar" played with a medal or glass tube is used often in country music. NOBODY plays it like David Gilmour.
The Beatles - "A Day In The Life". A Classic among Classics.
AWESOME... Thank You JM. I can do a P.F. concert for my family using your videos. TOO COOL
I slightly prefer the original where only Clare Torry sings but in any case it's a beautiful thing. I think it's one of the most brilliant songs of the modern musical era!
Enjoy your Pink Floyd journey dude !
HEY My Friend..... 2,000+ Subscribers. BRAVO. You will continue to grow picking the great songs you are doing. I'm very happy for you. Have a Spectacular Day.
Thanks Mark! I appreciate it!
@@JMBOYTV You're the one that deserves the Thanks. Your format is great No intro music for 2 minutes before you even get started. NO Pauses is Great. Intelligent comments always with a smile. Good sound too. I can listen to some of my favorite songs watching your videos and share with my grand kids/family. On a 75" HD with 400 watts-16 speakers So you look and sound awesome. TOO COOL
Hey JM..... You're Welcome. I put the ball over the plate and you hit it out of the park each time.
This song is about Death and Dying,... The original studio version is on their "Dark Side of the Moon" album from 1973.
Clare Torry was a very accomplished British singer at the time in London, and Pink Floyd hired her to do this one song with wordless vocals, Tory did 3 takes and Pink Floyd took parts of all three to make the final product.
They told her no words, and to think about Death and Horror before, and while singing.
I love Clare's version because she was blazing the trail. No one had ever done that before, and she absolutely killed it.
Everyone since then had Clare's version to inspire them, and these ladies on this recording nobly filled in for Clare. Sam Brown's windup for her existential, angst-ridden rail is one of my favorite things. I love seeing people hear that for the first time.
I’m somewhat biased about this album. I heard it live in 1974. The album went on sale the Monday after the Friday night concert I attended. I couldn’t tell the difference between the live show and the recorded version on the album.
I suggest you cover the entire album on your channel. The album is (IMO) one of the top 5 albums ever recorded. Just a suggestion
Enjoyed that. Same concert try SORROW. unbelievable guitar magic.
I reacted to that one, check it out! Sorrow Live At Pulse 94' - Pink Floyd (Reaction) | EXTRATERRESTRIALS HAVE A NEW SOUNDTRACK!!

@@JMBOYTV oops. I see they now I already liked it lol. I watch a bunch
🍸👍💪
STUDIO VERSION IS THE BEST...with the incomparable Clare Torry!
Try the album version.
This is like a tribute band.
got to do a day in the life by the Beatles next please
Omg hopebok u fine
JM..... You will agree this is the greatest live male vocal performance of all time...Righteous Brothers -- Unchained Melody (Live, 1965) (Picture and Sound Restored)
I know every word in this song.... just sayin
Pink Floyd makes magic not music!✌🏻
My favorite female vocals are on the studio/album version of this song and the female vocal on Gimme Shelter by the Stones which you already reacted to. The studio version has better vocals of this song so please check it out for yourself and let me know
Is this song about death or dying?…. No. 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.
Hi Mark, so so interesting!
And this is the answer I was looking for, since I've heard it the first time in my life.
Always thougt there must be more to it. It makes perfect sense in my opinion. Thank you!
If only you'd asked Richard Wright...
Richard Wright only wrote the music for a different project prior to the songs concept ever being thought of which was the results of Gilmour being asked if P.F. would ever do a song about religion and god, or as he called it.... "The Great Gig In The Sky"@@campbeld63
Also I forgot to mention the album version has one person only doin the vocals - with a better voice
Slide Guitar
Not the live version
Here you go my friend - the original album version - you'll hear this woman's voice is better than all 3 who performed it live - enjoy and please let me know what you think or maybe you might want to react to it ? th-cam.com/video/T13se_2A7c8/w-d-xo.html
I grabbed my pipe.... This is going to be good.
Dirty boy.
When you need 2-3 persons to try to replace one single person and you don't succeed to deliver the meaning of this ''song'' , sorry but Clare Torry is the best performer.
I doubt it's that they "needed" 3 performers to do this song live, but just wanting to give each singer a chance to showcase their talents. Any one of the three could have tackled this on their own with ease. I never understood anyone thinking that the three singing was out of necessity...
