The song is about how we face death. Suppose you were told you had 3 days to live, and the song attempts to convey several stages of the reaction - disbelief, anger, fear, sadness and finally acceptance... Originally only one woman did the vocals, and she did this otherworldly performance in 2 takes. These 3 ladies do an admirable job at replicating that magical performance, but the original is still the best.
This song was originally sung by one lady named Clare Torrey who laid down an iconic vocal. She nor anyone else has ever been able to replicate it. in later years Floyd used different singers and combos for this song. This is probably the 2nd best live version of this song, the first being during the Delicate sound of thunder tour
Sam Brown was a Pop solo artist in the UK and had a #1 hit on the UK charts with a song called "Stop". She was offered a chance to be a 'back up singer' with Pink Floyd for this series of concerts which she jumped at that opportunity just to perform with them.
Great song . Shows how powerful emotions can be without words or lyrics . Pink Floyd one of the best band and concerts I’ve ever seen live . Sam Brown is the blonde at the start Mike 😊
Yes Sam Brown is Samantha Brown the blonde. The three singers in order are Sam Brown Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine!! A great rendition of the original who was sung by one person Clare Torry who was the originator of this song and did it as an ad-lib off the cuff which got put on to Dark Side of the Moon the album!!!
@wayback479 good way to start a Sunday morning.... followed by ..planted around 35 trees, now on the way to Bunnings. Like doesn't get much better than that. Shit... forgot I have work tomorrow. 😭😭
Great music, Pink Floyd was one of the great 70’s sounds. Venetta Fields who was one of John Farnham backing singers was one of the voices In the original from the album, Dark Side of the Moon. She was in the Amazing Grace John Farnham reaction.
John Farnham's friend and co singer Vanetta has also toured with Pink Floyd. You will remember her.... the amazing lady that starred in John's Amazing Grace clip that you did a while back.
welcome to pink floyd he whole pulse concert is considered to be the best live show ever suggestions from pulse , great gig in the sky , high hopes, one of these days , keep talking and the final number using over 1 million dollars of lighting hold onto your seat its run like hell and of coarse comfortably numb David Gilmore the main man is still performing world wide to sell out crowds at 78 yo you should also watch his live concert at Pompeii in 2016 aged 70 again comfortably numb and run like hell . first time an audience has been there since the roman gladiators The pulse concerts featured even more special effects than the previous tour, including two custom designed airships.[2] Three stages leapfrogged around North America and Europe, each 180 feet (55 m) long and featuring a 130-foot (40 m) arch resembling the Hollywood Bowl venue. All in all, the tour required 700 tons of steel carried by 53 articulated trucks, a crew of 161 people and an initial investment of US$4 million plus US$25 million of running costs just to stage. This tour played to over 5 million people in 68 cities; each concert gathered an average audience of 45,000
To fully understand this track, you have to listen to the album from beginning to end. The central theme of the album is (What Drives People Crazy), and certainly the thought of death can drive anyone crazy.
❤ I so adore this song. Unfortunately listening to it on my iPhone doesn’t do it justice. I need to dust off the turntable and dig through the vinyls. Gotta be LOUD. WITH HEADPHONES!!! 🤯🤯💖💕💞💓💖
Please now listen to the album version done by ONE woman in ONE session - Clare Torry later got musical credit and about $4.000.000 for her CREATING the vocals. The three women fail to capture her original performance of a person fighting and eventual giving up to take DEATH
To be honest I find your reaction a little shallow. How does this song affect you emotionally. I know big tough guys aren't supposed to show emotions. I love your channel but in some reactions you seem to just go through the motions. Just some constructive feedback...but hey it's your channel. You do you!
@SonofBuck-f7z no worries mate. It is a difficult track to evaluate in isolation. That album has to be listened to in it's entirety to understand the full meaning and be touched emotionally. Enjoy your channel mate.
@@SonofBuck-f7z that's okay mate. We still enjoy your channel. I hope you don't mind some gentle criticism now and again. I will keep watching and recommending your channel regardless.
I have yet to hear this version of Great Gig in the Sky without crying, it's so beautiful. 💗💗💗

If the 7 wonders of the world were bands, Pink Floyd would be one.

@@wayback479 spot on 👍
Of all the great artists of the late sixties and seventies, Pink Floyd was the best and most incredible show I ever saw.
Yes Sam Brown is Samantha Brown the blonde.
The three singers in order are Sam Brown Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine!!

😮 Crikey! How much were the tickets? Did they make their money back? 🤯🤯💖
Thanks again Kimmy, great choices.
❤👍
I always imagined that the vocalist, was crying at the loss of a loved one...
David Gilmour is a musical genius. Nuff said. 💖💓💕💞
Love Sam Brown 👏👏👏
Isn’t she great? ❤
My funeral song without fail with Mark Knopfler Coming home
❤ GREAT choices! 💖
HEADPHONES!!!!!!!

Yes 😂

No one is singing anything! 🤣🤣🤣🤣But I get what you mean.
Good luck analysing these "lyrics" 🤣😂🤣😊

I was anticipating lyrics, which may have sidelined me for a better reaction.
@SonofBuck-f7z no worries mate. It is a difficult track to evaluate in isolation. That album has to be listened to in it's entirety to understand the full meaning and be touched emotionally. Enjoy your channel mate.
❤ I probably should have warned Mike there were no lyrics. It didn’t even occur to me to be honest.
Thank you brother. Some days I'm just not gonna be at my best.
@@SonofBuck-f7z that's okay mate. We still enjoy your channel. I hope you don't mind some gentle criticism now and again. I will keep watching and recommending your channel regardless.
Wow, that's the worse reaction ive seen to this track.
How disrespectable 3 GREAT SINGERS NOT ONE
live versions suck
