UPDATE: so the mass consensus is we must do the album version so that is what we will do very soon! Sorry all for getting the name wrong of the original singer. I must have been thinking about Nightwish at that moment but yes, her name was Clare Torry.
WolfKain, I'm working on a cover of Pink Floyd's "Fearless" as we speak. I'm not done mixing the vocals but I'll link it to you somewhere when it's complete. Nearly there. More of a rock/space vibe than their stripped-down acoustic original.
This is nice but nothing can compare to the original singing riff of Claire Torrey on the album. She killlllllllllled the death sequence to the rapture.
That's what I was thinking too. There is something extra to a live version, but even w/ picking 3 different singers to share the vocals (because the song is apparently exhausting to sing, because singing isn't quite what it is, you have to pull these vocals from your core), not one of them could even hold a candle to the original Claire Torrey. Unfortunately, the only live version I found w/ Torrey singing it is vocal only and didn't have video of it.
Yeah, this would've been amazing to hear live, but the original singer absolutely destroyed it - made me super emotional the first time I ever heard it.
Even this cover version with 2 singers is better than that one. Amazing cover of Pink Floyd's "Great Gig In The Sky" by The Australian Pink Floyd Show. th-cam.com/video/sxo0OJkbaMY/w-d-xo.html
Claire torrey was getting constantly asked to go to the studio but she was busy finally she went down there not knowing who she was singing for and they never explained what they wanted she improvised and done her own thing. 12 months later she walked past a record shop and seen a sign 'New Pink Floyd album out now so she went in and bought it believe it or not.
I tear up every single time that I listen to this song. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is said to be life, that's why the album starts with a heartbeat. Life progresses through the different songs. This song is supposed to be experiencing the loss of your parents. The vocals represent the five stages of grief.
The song was meant to be a vocal expression of the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Pink Floyd and Clare Torry did an exceptional job of interpreting. The song is meant to evoke deep emotions, and it does.
@@davidstufflebean3285 No. They only ran through the song start to end twice, once they decided how it would go. It took the singer a little while to find the right voice that Floyd was looking for. Once she hit the right groove the did two full takes and it was a wrap. That doesn't mean they ran through many partial takes.
@B Davis You are actually agreeing with me but my scatter brain got the better of me again. I was trying to say they did some partial takes in addition to the two full takes but I was drunk and I type too fast. I sometimes leave out words because my brain gets ahead of my fingers. the last sentence should have said, "That doesn't mean they didn't run through many partial takes." Sorry for the confusion. I did not know how many partials there were but I did remember reading somewhere that it did happen.
HalfLifeSistah seems to have the same neurological connections I have: certain musical notes activate our tear ducts. Since first hearing this song on the album in the very early 1970s, my eyes have always been blurry after hearing this tune -- not really a song since it doesn't have lyrics, simply raw emotions as the means of communication. I love y'all's sensitivity, musical knowledge, and fearless showing of your emotions. Thank you!
I hope you both realize how special the love you share is. I enjoy watching Wolf watch Sistah and the love in his eyes for her is magnificent. This song for me is birth to death. And, one of my favorites. You guys are a breath of fresh air. I love watching people who really love, love everything. Peace.
Awwww, your reaction to this was so lovely, and heartfelt and honest. It is one of the most beautiful songs you'll ever hear in your life. You have to listen to the whole album from beginning to end, though. Use headphones or some really great speakers, get yourself really comfy and prepare to have your mind blown.
I get it. Been listening to this song for over 45 years and it still stirs emotions within my soul. Too bad you never heard it live in a stadium with 70,000 people. You could hear a pin drop....profoundly hypnotic. The experience has never left me.
Live version had 3 singers who had years to rehearse. The album version. here Clare Torry explaining what really happened th-cam.com/video/mIW7xZSlZoM/w-d-xo.html
I love Sistah's reactions, so raw, so beautiful. Thats why i love music, depending on what you listen to, it always alters your mood in one way or another
The blond backup singer is Sam Brown who had her own music career going on at this time. She was a "Pop" singer in the UK and had a #1 hit single entitled "Stop". She jumped at the chance to work with Pink Floyd for this concert and, I think, she also worked several concerts with them just before this concert series at Earls Court. That is how respected Pink Floyd was back in the day. Artists were willing to put their own careers on hold just for a opportunity to work with these guys.
Pink Floyd 'Shine on you crazy diamond' (parts 1-9) Echoes, really anything Floyd. It's just really great music. I love yalls vids! I've been through numerous reaction videos, and NO ONE TOPS SISTAH AND WOLF! And I'm crying too damnit!
Totally agree with Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Easily the one of the best composed rock songs of all time. To me, it's as close to a classical music composition you're going to get in the rock genre.
Great video, although I think the original record is better than this live version. The whole Dark side of the moon album makes me alternate between chills and tearing up whenever I listen to it.
"Time" puts me in tears right from the first line. And the effect only gets deeper as I get older. I've thought about have the line about time having run out put on my tombstone.
Wow Sistah you are absolutely transported when you listen to great music like this, and when it's a song that I know and love it's fantastic watching you react; I end up feeling the song on a new level. There were tears in my eyes as I watched this actually.
I'll be the first of many to make 2 points: 1. Your information is wrong. The singer is Claire Torrey. 2. You need to do the studio version of this. No human can do justice to this song and reproduce Claire's vocals.
I'd like to clarify that I'm glad you enjoyed this video but you are simply missing out on the intensity of the original track. It is unique and should be experienced. Once you hear it, I suspect you will agree that this video was good but the original is simply epic. th-cam.com/video/cVBCE3gaNxc/w-d-xo.html
I feel your tears, sister. When I was a teenager in the 70's, I used to lie on the floor between two speakers, listen to this song, and cry out all the pain in my life. Songs like this helped me survive. It still makes me cry every time. Even now, there are tears in my eyes. Art can change our lives, lift us up beyond anything. So glad you had the chance to experience this. * BIG HUG *
wow i have seen Floyd twice in concert and have never seen someone get so emotional as me but now i have for that reason im going to subscribe as long as you promise to do a momentary lapse of reason some time there is no one doing this album and its so underrated beautiful reaction
What I adore about her reactions. Is they are honest reactions. Her actions remind me a lot of how I felt the first time I heard these songs when I was a young . Is very melancholy on my part
Two songs that are guaranteed to make you cry, a) they are beautiful, b) they are very sad. "Elbow, "The Night Will Always Win". Radiohead, "I Promise". I bet you bawl like a baby with colic.
I was 19 years old in 1973 when this album came out. I was always mesmerised by the Beautiful, passionate and emotional vocals of this song. But your reaction to it overwhelmed me. So touching!
Pink Floyd is generally considered …. to be one of the best bands ever. No discussion ! Timeless. Genius. When i grew up, if somebody got a new "Stereo" set up, Pink Floyd would ALWAYS be the test reference. I have so many memories throughout my life, with a Pink Floyd Soundtrack. And btw you 2 almost in a way kinda did restore a tiny little bit of my believe in marriage. I did understand correctly, that you 2 are married ?! Greetings from Germany ;-)
Oh … but Gilmour didn't take Waters Job, they were both in the band from the beginning. Then Waters left, and the Rest kept going for a while. Think i got that right … ?!
+Markus Jentzsch Watch Owen Benjamin (an American comedian) on his channel. He'll restore the rest of it, if any one can. His wife Amy is on his podcast here and there and they fought hard to have their marriage as solid as it is now, 2 kids and a 3rd on the way, because they were both living a messed up LA lifestyle when they met. Owen has one hell of a story, whether it's to do his now awesome family life, or his getting kicked out of Hollyweird where he once headlined stadiums and co-starred in movies and tv shows, because...
You are absolutly right. But since the only Pink Floyd Album that i can't get down with is Ummagumma (?), Waters/Gilmour and the others were Pink Floyd to me. Barrett surely was a crucial influence, but … whatever, you are correct :-D
No kidding. The Clare Torry album version is one that I can no longer listen to fully because it makes me tear up and I am 57 years old and a child of the 70's. It was beautiful when I first heard it and it is just as beautiful today.
It's crazy, I've heard this song so many times, but never this version. Was pretty cool experiencing it along with you. Very honest human reaction, thx for sharing. Peace
Should've definitely done the original Clare Torry album version as opposed to a more recent live performance. So much cleaner and more emotional. Simply amazing...
Disagree. I've heard all the versions and this by far to me is the most emotional and nobody beats Sam Brown. Clare's is great too, but it's too repetitive.
She needs to hear an EPIC. Dream Theater-A Change of Seasons, Genesis-Supper's Ready, Pink Floyd- Echoes, Symphony X- The Odessey or almost any of Transatlantic's long songs.
Pink Floyd Clare Torry "The Great Gig in the Sky" interview Clare Torry talks about 1973 "The Great Gig in the Sky" recording sessions for Dark side of the moon (Pink Floyd)th-cam.com/video/mIW7xZSlZoM/w-d-xo.html
Even though this is great it still fails in comparison to the studio version of Dark Side on the Moon and Clare Tory singing on the album is epic. She does alone what it took three girls on stage to do and much more soulful If you think you were crying before it's nothing compared to the album version . Listen and review it
It took Claire Torrey years and years but she finally got an official writer credit on the piece as she improvised the original recording with very little input from the band and of course the royalties she had been denied.
When he say what you feel, when sayid that, i where like.... EMOTIONAL, didn’t start cry, but definitely got some tears in my eyes, love this number, both studio and live. It’s definitely have more feelings live, but either way this are a unspoken/singing more like a yelling masterpiece, never have yelling been more beautiful!
The song is a about child birth. In the beginning of the 3rd singer you can hear i never said i was afraid of dying. But its very hard to hear so listen carefully. The whole album is about life. Begins with a heartbeat and ends with a heartbeat. What does our life consist of. Time. Money. Child birth. On the run. War. Us and them. Getting old Brain damage. Epic album. Concept album
I have followed Pink Floyd since they started in the late sixties and saw them many times. This is still one of my favourite tracks of all times and listening to it never fails to bring tears to my eyes, not because it's sad but for the beauty of the music and the incredible vocal contribution by Claire Torry, which she created just listening to the backing track and got down in a single take! If you don't cry when you hear this, you're already dead! Cry away Sistah, you're in good company! x
There is a great clip on the Classic Album series "The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon" DVD where Richard Wright (R.I.P.) says that Clare Torry came out the vocal booth in tears saying she was sorry that she did so badly(she thought she flubbed it anyway) and the band members quite assured her that what she pulled off was brilliant. Nice story. Also incredible track by track breakdown, not just each song, but the layers involved musically and vocally that made each track. By the original producer himself, the man Alan Parsons not his "Project".LOL.Cheers from the canadian Queen nut. Great reaction btw.
When listening to this I always imagine a person on his/her deathbed going through the five stages of death and dying - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance before he/she heads off to The Great Gig in the Sky. The vocalisation seems to emote these stages as it progresses. Great to see you being introduced to another one of my favourites. Of course, the album version is the definitive version.
Beautiful video - great that you’re not afraid to show your emotions - I love Pink Floyd and they’re the only band that can bring tears to my eyes. The live version of Comfortably Numb on Roger Waters The Wall Live Blu-Ray gets me going every time. Would love to see more PF reactions from you. Maybe even the whole of Dark Side would be great to see you experience that.
Agreeing with so many here that Claire Torrey's original is so much better. In part because it is just a voice crying in the wilderness, like an ancient prophetess. So powerful. Floyd had an amazing talent for capturing the sense of infinite space, the universe arcing about you, the music of the spheres... LASERIUM!!! OMG, I went to see those shows at the Griffith Park Planetarium in the late 70's. I miss those shows so much. Mind-blowing, we would stagger out of the building afterwards and sit out on the lawn, looking up at the universe above us. The Pink Floyd show was fabulous. Man, SUCH MEMORIES.
As a similar empath to you guys, along with whole album Dark Side of the Moon, a song that always gets me is by Genesis, 'Supper's Ready' Live Version ( Seconds Out, Live album) 24 minute long, but its the last 3 minutes, key change minor to major, a bit like, 1) Miles Davis; Sketches of Spain, track no 1; Concierto de Aranjuez (Adagio) at 15:45 the phrasing of the last chords...beautiful 2) A hymn called; 'Jerusalem', preferably sung by a full choir.... 3) and Nimrod by Edward Elgar...4 mins of perfection....try them also for goose bumps and tears....
The way you react to beautiful music makes me think you NEED to hear Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Dark Side of the Moon is about the things that challenge you in life.
I remember watching that reaction video when you released it, I thought it was such a great, heartfelt, reaction. Now YT brings it back to me, like the tide, and I still think the same, even the most emotional I've seen. Beautifully touching.
Wow, I really felt the intensity of your emotion. Thank you for that shared experience Sistah. Would love to see you react to Disturbed - The sound of Silence
Do "comfortably numb" from the same concert and we'll all be crying together for a week! Or "time" or "shine on you crazy diamond" or "brain damage/eclipse". Don't do "wish you were here" because then we'll be in danger of complete dehydration
It's very true. The 1970s Pink Floyd albums really need to be listened to as the entire album, one song really flows into another. From "Dark Side of the Moon," to "Wish You Were Here," to "Animals," all 3 albums are highly conceptual, where the individual songs are excellent, but when listened to in the order originally designed by the artists, who did whatever it took, and spared no expense to get exactly what they wanted, taking over a year to record and produce a single album in the 1970s, listening to the album as a whole is a true experience, and the time will fly by.
It’s said that Torry had no idea who Pink Floyd were. Walked into the studio, and was told that there was no actual written words for the mix. When she was done recording, she said that she had Nothing Left, she had sung to Her Soul !
I've heard this for 30+ years, still raises emotions, it is a great work of art, for me it is about life, from great sadness to overwhelming joy. Seeing this bring you to tears brought me to tears with you, thanks for sharing your reaction. I've heard quite a few different versions, my top 3 are the original with Clare Torry, the version from Delicate sound of Thunder, and the one you just watched.
Raw emotion is exactly what Pink Floyd elicits. Any Pink Floyd fan, if they are being honest, will have had a similar reaction to one of their songs at some point.
I know I'm late to the game. I just started watching reaction videos. Sistah, you have given me the words to what Pink Floyd means to me! When Dark Side of the Moon came out, I would put in my ( yes, 8- track), put on my headphones and turn up the volume to quiet the voices of the never-ending emotional criticism I heard. I'm excited that I've found you and I'm a listener. I hope to hear more Pink Floyd reactions. What about Learning to Fly?
You should definitely do Comfortably Numb from the same concert :) Also, Echoes, either the studio version or the one called 'Final "Echoes"performance with Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)' (surpasses the original in my opinion). Finally, I know it maybe difficult due to copyright but try to do an album reaction (like "Wish you were here"), that's how Pink Floyd are meant to be heard, the songs in each album are connected and feel like a journey.
15:38 Hello!! I am Sam from Yakima Washington. Oh my word! I have heard seven different vocals starting with Claire. They all make me look at my inner morality especially when I hear their passion that takes me with them thru song.Now as I turn 67 I like to first hear Time and Comfortably Numb, great Gig. I am not ashamed of crying when I hear The Floyd. My soul connects to you, my new. beautiful friends. Peace.
I believe the instrumental part of this was originally meant for a movie soundtrack, but the director or producer had to reject it. He said it was beautiful, but too sad for the scene he had in mind. It became Great Gig after they had Claire react and sing over it a couple of times, and the rest is history.
I seem to be among the few, who prefer the live version- though in my case it’s not this one, it‘s the one on ‚delicate sound of thunder‘...the third singer never fails to give me goosebumps, if not even giving me the waterworks...yes, the original is great- no doubt- but anyway, my personal prefered pick will always be the version on delicate...this version here somehow never touched me as much...
If you're doing progressive november I strongly recommend Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree. Maybe Routine or Ancestral or Refuge or Happy Returns for "Make Sistah Cry" :) PS: I love the way you react to music, I think there's great strength and humanity in allowing yourself to be vulnerable and emotional on camera (loved your Nightwish reaction). I cry when i hear beautiful music as well and I don't think it's something to be ashamed of, quite the contrary.
In fact if I was the Wolf I'd feed you on a diet of Elbow, "The Birds", "Mirrorball", "Lippy Kids", several others. Man, I could keep you crying for days.
Looking forward to your reaction to Clare Torry.. Just the same, that was a beautiful reaction.. great music does that to me as well..She gets it! :) Thank you. cheers!
One of the greatest songs ever produced. Only way to describe it is life itself from the day your born to the day you your spirt leaves and moves on. Ive seen Pink Floyd twice in concert back in the eighties and I was never disappointed with their performance. The light show itself was amazing. God bless you both..
You two are so cute! Your reaction videos are awesome. I don't have anyone to share my music passions with, especially my new Pink Floyd passions. Your videos help me connect. Keep going!
Hey there. I have just Liked & Subscribed even before the song has played.... I just know you're both beautiful, interesting people. Love from Scotland, love to all good folks.
Wolf I just want to say treat your woman awesome and I know you do because she is a goddess man she's beautiful love this channel continue to do what you do and you picked Pink Floyd thank you very much the Great Gig in the sky is a great song for anybody to try to listen to Pink Floyd thank you again
Welcome to the wonderful world and sound of Pink Floyd young lady, And well done Wolf for introducing her to some of the most beautiful music in the world her life is so much richer for it.
Progressive ended up meaning some melody or poem that stayed current and vibrate as time progressed … it's been over 45 years for this song, and still makes some cry … love and peace, guys!

I just lost my father and I sobbed like a baby. My dad was my hero in my life!
The Great Gig is such an amazing song.. It doesn't have words, but it speaks to you. Sistah, you need to listen to the album version.
Maybe it's good she didn't hear the studio version first, that would have ravaged her soul. Now she's better prepared.
Doesn't matter. Her souls shredded no matter the version. Songs for its own power, no matter the presentation
That was supposed to be has it's own power. Auto corrects evil.
.......Yup...in a good way
The song was meant to be a vocal expression of the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Pink Floyd and Clare Torry did an exceptional job of interpreting. The song is meant to evoke deep emotions, and it does.

Clare Torry then Sued Pink Floyd for Royalties.
Don't be embarrassed. I cry every time I hear this song. This is pure emotion that digs much deeper into your psyche than any words could.
Yeesss!! It definitely digs deep!💖
Thank you for sharing the emotion! Beautiful watching you two.
I saw the Laser Light show with Pink Floyd in Toronto in the mid 70’s and yeah we were stoned and it blew us away.

Totally agree with Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Easily the one of the best composed rock songs of all time. To me, it's as close to a classical music composition you're going to get in the rock genre.
Dont forget dogs
I've been listening to this song for most of my life, and this album came out the year I was born, and it still gives me goosebumps when I hear it.
Great video, although I think the original record is better than this live version. The whole Dark side of the moon album makes me alternate between chills and tearing up whenever I listen to it.
Yeah it is...but Sam Brown was amazing ,the part where she "growls" puts the hair up on my arms.
"Time" puts me in tears right from the first line. And the effect only gets deeper as I get older. I've thought about have the line about time having run out put on my tombstone.

Yup, having recently been in San Francisco and Portland OR, they both have Pink Floyd shows at the planetarium!
Enjoyed the video and glad you enjoyed the song, its fun sharing something you love that is new to someone else

And btw you 2 almost in a way kinda did restore a tiny little bit of my believe in marriage. I did understand correctly, that you 2 are married ?! Greetings from Germany ;-)
Oh … but Gilmour didn't take Waters Job, they were both in the band from the beginning. Then Waters left, and the Rest kept going for a while. Think i got that right … ?!
Yes we are married, for 15 years. How did we help you, in the marriage aspect?😃🤗🤗😘💖
+Markus Jentzsch Watch Owen Benjamin (an American comedian) on his channel. He'll restore the rest of it, if any one can. His wife Amy is on his podcast here and there and they fought hard to have their marriage as solid as it is now, 2 kids and a 3rd on the way, because they were both living a messed up LA lifestyle when they met. Owen has one hell of a story, whether it's to do his now awesome family life, or his getting kicked out of Hollyweird where he once headlined stadiums and co-starred in movies and tv shows, because...
@@markusjentzsch7932 Actually David Gilmour wasn't in the band at the beginning. He basically took Syd Barrett's place.
You are absolutly right. But since the only Pink Floyd Album that i can't get down with is Ummagumma (?), Waters/Gilmour and the others were Pink Floyd to me. Barrett surely was a crucial influence, but … whatever, you are correct :-D
Thank you for this reaction. I've been listening to this song for over 30 years and still get an emotional rush.
Studio version will really make her cry...these girls can't touch Clare Torry's vocals
I'm not a hundred percent sure but the white woman that sings the first part of that I believe is Clare Torry
No kidding. The Clare Torry album version is one that I can no longer listen to fully because it makes me tear up and I am 57 years old and a child of the 70's. It was beautiful when I first heard it and it is just as beautiful today.
Sam Brown, Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine
Actually the two other girls come pretty close
@Haakon Dahl yes Clare Dorry is the original singer on the original track and Yes, she's white.
Oh jeez you made me cry too!!! You & I feel like I just listened to this song for the first time you guys are so cute & made me a fan of your channel
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Live Pulse, Please
Vladimir Matijevic definitely!!!! I got to go to that concert.
listen to david gilmour live pompeii 2016/comfortably numb. It is more amazing
She's done it, and her crying is even more powerfull, a telluric wave of emotion ;-)
It's crazy, I've heard this song so many times, but never this version. Was pretty cool experiencing it along with you. Very honest human reaction, thx for sharing. Peace
Should've definitely done the original Clare Torry album version as opposed to a more recent live performance. So much cleaner and more emotional. Simply amazing...
Disagree. I've heard all the versions and this by far to me is the most emotional and nobody beats Sam Brown. Clare's is great too, but it's too repetitive.
Sistah, you are the most beautiful soul . Love this
She needs to hear an EPIC. Dream Theater-A Change of Seasons, Genesis-Supper's Ready, Pink Floyd- Echoes, Symphony X- The Odessey or almost any of Transatlantic's long songs.
I wish someone would react to Change of Seasons if Sista did that her emotions would be all over the place lol.
Pink Floyd Clare Torry "The Great Gig in the Sky" interview Clare Torry talks about 1973 "The Great Gig in the Sky" recording sessions for Dark side of the moon (Pink Floyd)th-cam.com/video/mIW7xZSlZoM/w-d-xo.html
Even though this is great it still fails in comparison to the studio version of Dark Side on the Moon and Clare Tory singing on the album is epic. She does alone what it took three girls on stage to do and much more soulful If you think you were crying before it's nothing compared to the album version . Listen and review it
It took Claire Torrey years and years but she finally got an official writer credit on the piece as she improvised the original recording with very little input from the band and of course the royalties she had been denied.
I think she's a doll! Pure emotion can't be faked! I cry to music all the time! It hits my nerve endings and gives me goosebumps. I love ya both!
Thank you🤗💜
When he say what you feel, when sayid that, i where like....
EMOTIONAL, didn’t start cry, but definitely got some tears in my eyes, love this number, both studio and live.
It’s definitely have more feelings live, but either way this are a unspoken/singing more like a yelling masterpiece, never have yelling been more beautiful!
The song is a about child birth. In the beginning of the 3rd singer you can hear i never said i was afraid of dying. But its very hard to hear so listen carefully. The whole album is about life. Begins with a heartbeat and ends with a heartbeat. What does our life consist of. Time. Money. Child birth. On the run. War. Us and them. Getting old Brain damage. Epic album. Concept album
I have followed Pink Floyd since they started in the late sixties and saw them many times. This is still one of my favourite tracks of all times and listening to it never fails to bring tears to my eyes, not because it's sad but for the beauty of the music and the incredible vocal contribution by Claire Torry, which she created just listening to the backing track and got down in a single take!
If you don't cry when you hear this, you're already dead! Cry away Sistah, you're in good company! x
Also I have to stress that Clare Torry done it in Two Takes !! ... amazing :)
There is a great clip on the Classic Album series "The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon" DVD where Richard Wright (R.I.P.) says that Clare Torry came out the vocal booth in tears saying she was sorry that she did so badly(she thought she flubbed it anyway) and the band members quite assured her that what she pulled off was brilliant. Nice story. Also incredible track by track breakdown, not just each song, but the layers involved musically and vocally that made each track. By the original producer himself, the man Alan Parsons not his "Project".LOL.Cheers from the canadian Queen nut. Great reaction btw.
When listening to this I always imagine a person on his/her deathbed going through the five stages of death and dying - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance before he/she heads off to The Great Gig in the Sky. The vocalisation seems to emote these stages as it progresses. Great to see you being introduced to another one of my favourites. Of course, the album version is the definitive version.
Wow! A person on death bed... 😮 This song takes is to many places!💖
I agree, this song definitely feels like the five stages of grief.
Beautiful video - great that you’re not afraid to show your emotions - I love Pink Floyd and they’re the only band that can bring tears to my eyes. The live version of Comfortably Numb on Roger Waters The Wall Live Blu-Ray gets me going every time.
Would love to see more PF reactions from you. Maybe even the whole of Dark Side would be great to see you experience that.
The Moody Blues “Nights in White Satin” another beautiful early progressive rock song!!
Hey guys. I just wanted to say thank you both. Your channel is a lot of fun. I am a huge fan of Pink Floyd so this was a really great video for me
Agreeing with so many here that Claire Torrey's original is so much better. In part because it is just a voice crying in the wilderness, like an ancient prophetess. So powerful. Floyd had an amazing talent for capturing the sense of infinite space, the universe arcing about you, the music of the spheres...
LASERIUM!!! OMG, I went to see those shows at the Griffith Park Planetarium in the late 70's. I miss those shows so much. Mind-blowing, we would stagger out of the building afterwards and sit out on the lawn, looking up at the universe above us. The Pink Floyd show was fabulous. Man, SUCH MEMORIES.
As a similar empath to you guys, along with whole album Dark Side of the Moon, a song that always gets me is by Genesis, 'Supper's Ready' Live Version ( Seconds Out, Live album) 24 minute long, but its the last 3 minutes, key change minor to major, a bit like,
1) Miles Davis; Sketches of Spain, track no 1; Concierto de Aranjuez (Adagio) at 15:45 the phrasing of the last chords...beautiful
2) A hymn called; 'Jerusalem', preferably sung by a full choir....
3) and Nimrod by Edward Elgar...4 mins of perfection....try them also for goose bumps and tears....
The way you react to beautiful music makes me think you NEED to hear Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Dark Side of the Moon is about the things that challenge you in life.
I remember watching that reaction video when you released it, I thought it was such a great, heartfelt, reaction. Now YT brings it back to me, like the tide, and I still think the same, even the most emotional I've seen. Beautifully touching.
Don't worry, I don't cry very often, and this song tends to make my eyes water, so it's definitely not unwarranted in this case! lol
Wow, I really felt the intensity of your emotion. Thank you for that shared experience Sistah. Would love to see you react to Disturbed - The sound of Silence
Do "comfortably numb" from the same concert and we'll all be crying together for a week! Or "time" or "shine on you crazy diamond" or "brain damage/eclipse". Don't do "wish you were here" because then we'll be in danger of complete dehydration
Hey You, The Gunners Dream and Mother do it every time for me.
Carvalho Diablo and If
It's very true. The 1970s Pink Floyd albums really need to be listened to as the entire album, one song really flows into another. From "Dark Side of the Moon," to "Wish You Were Here," to "Animals," all 3 albums are highly conceptual, where the individual songs are excellent, but when listened to in the order originally designed by the artists, who did whatever it took, and spared no expense to get exactly what they wanted, taking over a year to record and produce a single album in the 1970s, listening to the album as a whole is a true experience, and the time will fly by.
our voice is the only instrument we all can play
It’s said that Torry had no idea who Pink Floyd were. Walked into the studio, and was told that there was no actual written words for the mix. When she was done recording, she said that she had Nothing Left, she had sung to Her Soul !
Studio Version....WAY.....WAY.....BETTER!!!!
You mean Pulse album? Because yes every song is better on Pulse than the original Dark side of the moon album.
Well..it depends. Live is always deeper if it comes to feel, just ur eyes can feel it as well.
I've heard this for 30+ years, still raises emotions, it is a great work of art, for me it is about life, from great sadness to overwhelming joy. Seeing this bring you to tears brought me to tears with you, thanks for sharing your reaction. I've heard quite a few different versions, my top 3 are the original with Clare Torry, the version from Delicate sound of Thunder, and the one you just watched.
☺🤗🤗🤗💖
Raw emotion is exactly what Pink Floyd elicits. Any Pink Floyd fan, if they are being honest, will have had a similar reaction to one of their songs at some point.
Killing it Sistah..just beautiful reaction..x
You need to let her hear the album version!
I know I'm late to the game. I just started watching reaction videos. Sistah, you have given me the words to what Pink Floyd means to me! When Dark Side of the Moon came out, I would put in my ( yes, 8- track), put on my headphones and turn up the volume to quiet the voices of the never-ending emotional criticism I heard. I'm excited that I've found you and I'm a listener. I hope to hear more Pink Floyd reactions.
What about Learning to Fly?
You should definitely do Comfortably Numb from the same concert :) Also, Echoes, either the studio version or the one called 'Final "Echoes"performance with Richard Wright (Pink Floyd)' (surpasses the original in my opinion).
Finally, I know it maybe difficult due to copyright but try to do an album reaction (like "Wish you were here"), that's how Pink Floyd are meant to be heard, the songs in each album are connected and feel like a journey.
Beautiful. Been listening to Floyd for so long, it was great to experience hearing it for the first time with you.
It's ok honey. It happened to all of us.
This music connects our hearts and emotions.
It lets us realize how beautiful life really is.
15:38 Hello!! I am Sam from Yakima Washington. Oh my word! I have heard seven different vocals starting with Claire. They all make me look at my inner morality especially when I hear their passion that takes me with them thru song.Now as I turn 67 I like to first hear Time and Comfortably Numb, great Gig. I am not ashamed of crying when I hear The Floyd. My soul connects to you, my new. beautiful friends. Peace.
I believe the instrumental part of this was originally meant for a movie soundtrack, but the director or producer had to reject it. He said it was beautiful, but too sad for the scene he had in mind.
It became Great Gig after they had Claire react and sing over it a couple of times, and the rest is history.
Was there in that crowd for this
I seem to be among the few, who prefer the live version- though in my case it’s not this one, it‘s the one on ‚delicate sound of thunder‘...the third singer never fails to give me goosebumps, if not even giving me the waterworks...yes, the original is great- no doubt- but anyway, my personal prefered pick will always be the version on delicate...this version here somehow never touched me as much...
Wow! Best reaction I have ever seen. I truly adore you! Thank you. I'm a Pink Floyd fan from the begining. Beautiful music.
If you're doing progressive november I strongly recommend Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree. Maybe Routine or Ancestral or Refuge or Happy Returns for "Make Sistah Cry" :)
PS: I love the way you react to music, I think there's great strength and humanity in allowing yourself to be vulnerable and emotional on camera (loved your Nightwish reaction). I cry when i hear beautiful music as well and I don't think it's something to be ashamed of, quite the contrary.
Pariah or Happy Returns would open the flood gates for sure. Both utterly beautiful songs. Steven Wilson is a genius.
OMG Routine made *me* cry, and it was the second song in my life that did it :P
@@Brombit gotta ask: what was the first?
Yes, I was asking for this question ;)
Tool - 10,000 Days
In fact if I was the Wolf I'd feed you on a diet of Elbow, "The Birds", "Mirrorball", "Lippy Kids", several others. Man, I could keep you crying for days.
Looking forward to your reaction to Clare Torry.. Just the same, that was a beautiful reaction.. great music does that to me as well..She gets it! :) Thank you. cheers!
One of the greatest songs ever produced. Only way to describe it is life itself from the day your born to the day you your spirt leaves and moves on. Ive seen Pink Floyd twice in concert back in the eighties and I was never disappointed with their performance. The light show itself was amazing. God bless you both..
Wow eso es emoción de verdad, no se puede esperar menos de Pink Floyd. Genial
You two are so cute! Your reaction videos are awesome. I don't have anyone to share my music passions with, especially my new Pink Floyd passions. Your videos help me connect. Keep going!
i cry too ... everytime i listen ... and that s not the only one song ...
Hi, Sunshine! What orget songs make you cry?💖
Hey there. I have just Liked & Subscribed even before the song has played.... I just know you're both beautiful, interesting people.
Love from Scotland, love to all good folks.
Completely pitch dark room + headphones + Dark Side of the Moon album = a non-denomenational religious experience!
Optional but recommended addition: funny tasting mushrooms 🍄 or those tiny square pieces of paper ◽👅
I've listened to this song for nearly 45 years and you made me cry sistah xx
Have her listen to Wish you were here. That song will make any person cry.
Millie Jackson - If Loving You Is Wrong ( I Don't Wanna Be Right )
Wolf I just want to say treat your woman awesome and I know you do because she is a goddess man she's beautiful love this channel continue to do what you do and you picked Pink Floyd thank you very much the Great Gig in the sky is a great song for anybody to try to listen to Pink Floyd thank you again
YOU'RE beautiful, baby 😃 Thank you for the love and support🤗😘💖🤘🏾
@@HalfLifeSistah i will always
Welcome to the wonderful world and sound of Pink Floyd young lady, And well done Wolf for introducing her to some of the most beautiful music in the world her life is so much richer for it.
There’s no dark side of the moon. It’s all dark.
Progressive ended up meaning some melody or poem that stayed current and vibrate as time progressed … it's been over 45 years for this song, and still makes some cry … love and peace, guys!
