Dad said, "Son, you make honor roll this period and I'll buy you anything you want!" I was in sixth grade. I said, "There a new double album coming out, Pink Floyd 'The Wall'". I made straight A's... Only time ever. He bought me the album. He was a Good dad. Every child should be so blessed. ❤
I am so happy to see some from other parts of society look into the other sides,, this is a band that once found,, is not forgotten 🤗🤗🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🤘🤘🏽🤘🏻
You gota listen to the studio version,, the lady did the original, was a one off,, and she asked how was that,, and if you listen close, they left it in the recording,, trust me,, the original is even better, and it's why any after had to compete 🤘🤘
I am a white dude loves all music, from Whitney Houston to rage against the machine, Cindy lauper to Snoop 👍👍 but by far pink Floyd is my favorite band,, had a chance to see em live, last tour back early 90's best show I have ever been to, and IV been to more than my share👍👍
If it's not the original....it ain't sht . They get close but so far away!!!
You really owe it to yourself to listen to the original studio track. It was performed by a studio singer by the name of Clare Torey. She was asked to vocalize without using any words, to interpret transitioning from life to death. If memory serves me correctly, she did 3 takes and they edited the final version. It is breathtaking! #DaRealADogg
Yes, and higher pitch.
They aaked her at the last minute. Apparently she was about to go into labour
NO ONE sings this song like Clare Torry, and that's a FACT !!! I wanted to have her children when I heard it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you thought this performance was good, you haven’t heard nothing yet. This singer did a nice job but no one can hold a candle to Clare Torry’s performance on the original studio recording of this song.
@@kylebakke594 You ain't lyin' ...
The original studio version strikes an emotional chord in me that no other interpretation ever matches no matter how well done.
She sang this perfect in Atlanta, sounded just like the original cut.
@@gregpeterman1102 I couldn't say I don't like this version, I mean compare it to Umbrella, ella, ella garbage, it kicks, it's amazing, but still I sing all the notes of the original in my head (and I sound great, as long as it stays in my head), and the differences in this "newer" version slightly interfere with my buzz.
I prefer this version.
Others know this and all try to pay tribute🥰🥰👍
I absolutely LOVE how much you feel this. Pink Floyd now lives in your soul.
Great Gig in the Sky is always a journey. Even after listening to it for 48 yrs it still gives me chills & never gets old. Thanks for the u[pload.
Dark Side of the Moon is an absolute masterpiece. Greatest album ever recorded - And this coming from someone who loves Pink Floyd - but objectively not my #1 favorite band all time - maybe 5th favorite - but I confidently say this is the greatest album ever cover to cover. You owe it to yourself to listen to it - headphones - no distractions - dim room and just let the music take you where you go - your reaction to this video shows you are the type of person that can be truly moved by phenomenal music; and that's what this album is.
Need more thumbs up
Great album that set the bar high for what followed but I prefer the material on WYWH and Animals. No fillers on those albums.
The Wall was the best imo but Darkside is absolutely amazing as well
Your only saying that because the album was on the top 100 list for over 724 consecutive weeks right??
Have this on Vinyl! Great pice of music. Greetings From Sweden
I bought Dark Side Of The Moon in the spring of 73', I was already a fan but I had NO idea what that album was going to do to me. I cried the first time I heard Clare Torey's voice, and I still get goosebumps some 50 years later. You HAVE to listen to the studio cut, it is beyond brilliant and to this day one of the most gut-wrenching vocal performances by anyone in any genre.
@Wesley Peterson Man was that a great time to be alive or what!?! Alan Parsons production on that album was friggin second to none in my humble opinion. I was able to pass one of my copies down to my son, I bought 2 because I thought for sure I’d wear one out 😂to bad I didn’t save the poster, that would’ve been kick ass to still have ☮️
It is a beautiful thing
Clare Torey's interpretation of the solo was phenomenal! So good that it now takes THREE women to render it in concert!! They are good, but nowhere near Clara's tearjerker version!
@@marilynwaring5420 SO TRUE!
Chills - Everytime I hear this song - 40 years later !
When you´re the greatest band in the known universe, you have the best background-singers ...
I played this album for my Mother during a long trip. She smiled after hearing this song and said, I like your music Steven. We listened to this and the Eagles greatest hits the whole trip.
EaglesGreatest Hits is a stellar road trip vibe!
Sit yourself down in a dimly lit room, incense optional, pop on Dark Side of the Moon (headphones are a must) and listen to the whole album in one go because its really just one track, everything melts together in sonic perfection. Its widely regarded as a masterpiece and arguably the greatest rock album recorded to date. It spent over 13 years sitting in the US album charts and is one of the biggest selling albums of all time. So treat yourself for about 45 minutes:). Your ears will love you for the rest of your life.
Nemo1701,
I did just that in 1973. I did however substitute incense for some decent hash. All was well till my roommate's cat jumped on my lap.
I have been a fan of epic proportions ever since......just not of cats! 68 and still playing Pink Floyd on a daily basis.
They came a long way since, "See Emily Play".
In the 70’s, there was a solarium in Cincinnati that had a show called laser works (I think it was called). We laid back in our chairs, stoned, and watched a laser show to the whole dark side of the moon album.
Man I’m glad I grew up in the 70’s……
Doesn’t get any better than Dark Side of the Moon.
One night I put Dark Side in my stereo, in surround sound, turned off the lights and sat in the middle of the room. No drugs. No booze. Never had an experience like that night before, or since, high, or sober.
The only way to do it !!!!! And smoke first!
This song is about this woman facing death, the stages she goes through in facing the end before she accepts and becomes peaceful, or so I have been told. The whole album is an epic journey! The woman who sang on the studio track version is a different woman and she will really blow you away!
Yeah l agree, l wondered if it was the same woman but she didn't do the piece the justice it deserves. The original blows this away by light years.
Yep, woman singing here looks like Sam Brown. (Back-up singer on the pulse tour). Studio version is sung by Clair Torry.
Sam Brown is however an excellent singer as it is.

I'm not arguing with anyone about anything but I saw an interview with Claire years ago and this solo was just a call in gig for her to make some money. She showed up, Roger and David gave her some rough parameters, played her the demo and told her to run with it. She did it in one take but the boys wanted her to do another take which she did but they ended up using the original anyway. No facing death or any of that other stuff from either her or the band. I think that's probably just some bullshit posted by someone who wants to sound important. Regardless, an OUTSTANDING performance nonetheless! One take, no autotune, no rehearsing ad nauseum, etc, etc.... Absolute pro!
@@dr.thrashfinger4915 Clare Torey actually did three takes. The first was rejected because she used words, which the band did not want.
Clare cut off the third take mid song, saying she thought they had what they needed.
She did not know anything about The Dark Side Of The Moon recording sessions. I don't think she even knew who Pink Floyd even was.
@@scottbc31h22 Like I said, I'm not here to argue with anyone. I'm simply going by what Claire Torry said HERSELF in an interview. I know that the entirety of humanity under 30 years old is triggered by anything even remotely NOT racist so that withstand, choose to believe whatever you wish. I simply ask that you deal with reality if you insist on commenting on public forums. Love and light to you 😇
Adogg....did you get chills and did your eyes start to water??? Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band. Their concert wasn’t a concert....it was an experience. 🙏❤️
I absolutely did cry listening to this song when I realized this is what my wife felt inside when her father passed. I believe it is a vocal expression of the seven stages of acceptance: shock; denial; anger; bargaining; depression; testing; acceptance. Words unnecessary.
The singer of the original version is called Clare Torry and she was contacted to record the song without using words but only by vocalizing. In an interview Clare stated that not even Pink Floyd had any idea how she was supposed to sing, so she decided to improvise in her own way.
In 2004, Torry sued both Pink Floyd and EMI for missing royalties owed to the album The Dark Side of the Moon, claiming he also contributed artistically to the song The Great Gig in the Sky (originally attributed only to Richard Wright). In early 2005, the British High Court of Justice recognized the singer's reasons as valid and declared her co-owner of the song's copyright. All records released after 2005 therefore regularly report Torry/Wright as the songwriters.
Clare is also very proud that she sang the whole song on her own, while in subsequent performances she was sung by three different singers.
PS
Dear Pink Floyd I love you madly, but Clare is right. ;)
@Bjorn Maxson Well, thanks.
As others have said (more or less): as much as you like this, the original from the Dark Side of the Moon album, will freakin’ blow you away. I’m not criticizing you for choosing this version - it was very good - I’m just saying when you download this for your own collection, add it to your playlist, or what ever - you want the original studio version.
Imagine, it took two great female vocalists, who probably rehearsed for weeks,topull off what Claire Torry pulled off, with no advance preparation, in TWO takes. They asked her to do a third and she told them she had given them her best, and man was she right. After they told her to make her voice sound like an instrument, she left later to silence, thinking she did not get ‘the job’ of appearing on the album. She later learned they were too stunned to speak. Ms Torry did not know her vocal made it onto the album until the album was in stores.
Thank you so much for tackling this tune. I really enjoyed your entire reaction! Sooner or later you;re going to want to listen to the entire album, in order, with lyrics in hand. After that you may be so stunned you will need a couple weeks off :)
Actually there are 3 women singing this version
Yes, and sadly, Claire was paid a session musicians wage for a single session.
@@iDuckman Many years later she won a court case after which she was given a writing credit, enabling her to collect future royalties. I believe it also came with a settlement for the sins of the past. She has done a couple interesting interviews that can be found on YT.
@@tonydelapa1911 Yes, I heard that, but I didn't remember the details. So a measure of justice was done after all. ⚖ Thanks for the update.
And Pink Floyd wasn't going to give her any credit, or royalties. Jerks.
Without reading all 825 comments, because.... not my reaction video: The story behind the original recording is one of absolute wonder and amazement at what can be accomplished with talent and timing. The singer came into the studio on a contract gig, with only a general concept of what kind of vocal contribution was needed. After a brief conversation with band members and studio sound check, Clare Torrey launched into the stunningly emotional and evocative inspiration for what is done in this version by not one, but THREE singers. they were great, (and I went to a Pulse tour concert) but still, any attempt will fall short of the original. I read that the band members were absolutely dumbstruck by what they had just recorded in the studio. Clare was of course paid for her SINGLE TAKE. She left the studio, wondering if she would get a call-back for revisions, corrections, editing. But no... Her fantastic interpretation and rendition was placed on the Dark Side Of The Moon album, in it's entirety, and just as she had expressed it. A miracle, a classic, a masterpiece in translation of psyche to human voice. "Extraordinary" doesn't say enough.
And to think that Clare Torrey did the original vocals 50 years ago was as much mind boggling then as it is today.
I heard somewhere she was paid a mere $75 for her work and years later attempted to sue the band for the unexpected success of this song, and was sadly unsuccessful in her law suit.
They need the 3 singers because of the toll it has upon the singer on top of the rest of the concert. Clare said as much in her interviews.
I just love seeing this reaction to such a stellar vocal performance....still gives me goosebumps every time i hear it
YES!!! Keep that Pink Floyd comin'! 🌈💗
Sam Brown, daughter of Joe Brown, a 50/60s pop star still performing today. Often jammed and duetted on the ukulele with close friend George Harrison who gave Joe the ukulele as a present. Was given the honour of the last song at the Concert for George. Clare Torrey paid £30 for the DSOTM session, but settled for an undisclosed sum in 2015 with a credit on all future releases of the track
To see them live in concert was a truly life changing experience.
I'm not cryin! You're cryin! This is the definition of making you feel the emotions of the song without even one word! So powerful! So emotional! You won me over when you answered to the question, " How many Pink FLoyd videos you gonna do?" "ALL OF THEM!" Great job and love your honest, F what anybody thinks reactions lol
I thought EVERYONE knew about the Original version by Clare Torry being the benchmark. Whoever put you onto this version did you a disservice.Not that it's bad--it's just not in the same league as the original.
Absolutely, no disrespect to this version but you need to listen to the original.
Amen and amen.
I watched a doco where she talks about the work she put in the full stretch.
Amazing voice.
You are correct, sir! Bein a Deadhead, I normally recommend live versions of almost any tune by any band. This is one of the exceptions. The studio version was born of something that cannot be recreated.
Yes! This is the church choir version. The Clare Torry (Torre?) version of the original album after multiple takes was the 1960's style "acid rock" soothing and calming one's metaphysical mind into peace and tranquility as some of the other songs on Pink Floyd albums do. I think with Allen Parcen's project input of Clare Torry into Pink Floyd inspired their later entire space or future dreamy album "I Robot!" Played and orchestral Pink Floyd into Allan Parson's "I Robot" is more away from Pink Floyd's "heavy in heavy metal's" other music style orchestrated in their 1977 Animals and 1979 The Wall albums that pleasantly but with hard rock sounds satisfy a musical experience over the entire time of playing the albums.
Absolutely
Pink Floyd is ABSOLUTELY worth listening to pretty much everything they’ve made. I do still recommend listening to the original version of this song as well, it’s just as impactful and so deep! It goes with the theme of that album so well which is essentially about different stages of life. This song was said to be about someone fighting to let go and cross to the other side and then accepting that it was their time. So incredible and art at its finest is what Pink Floyd is. The fact they can draw out so much thought and emotion at the same time is so beautiful.
Great song, and this girl is good! But, Torrenis better.
And Amy Lynn is pretty good too….
If you like Pink Floyd then I’m sure you’d like to listen to Dark Side Of The Moon in dvd audio 24 bit hi def 5.1 surround sound on a good 5.1 system, huge difference to 2.0 vinyl (Ear Candy)
The version from the album, Dark Side of the Moon, is just as beautiful and much more haunting. That vocal was complete improvisation in the studio. A masterpiece!
I love Pink Floyd from Way Back!! Their music can just take you away to another peaceful place ♡
This was beautiful! As others have said, the studio version is even more amazing if you can believe that!
I understand but it’s hard uploading the studio versions because of copyright issues and the video getting blocked and that’s why I kind of sway away from doing studio version videos from artist or bands because almost everything gets blocked
@@darealadogg never known Floyd to block anyone 👍
@@darealadogg Even if you can't upload it give yourself the treat and listen to it yourself.These women did a tremendous job here though!
Check out the live version of this from the previous concert , A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour ( A delicate sound of thunder recording ) equally as beautiful
This is the first time hearing this rendition, original is better!
Both the original Clare Torre version in 1973 and this live version 21 years later were fabulous for different reasons. People might well prefer the original if they heard it first, of course, but each stands on its own merits. I was at this concert at Earls Court, London and the song was spine-tinglingly wonderful, as were the ladies. Let’s have love and respect for both please. 😎
I give the nod to Clare because it is easier to copy something than to create it. That being said, some of the vocalists who have done this live over the years have been spine tingling good.
@@glenchapman3899 Valid point 👍
I don't know how anyone could fail to respect this version. Having said that, recreating the original track is to me akin to trying to repaint the Mona Lisa, or reengineer the Eiffel Tower....not going to match the original no matter how masterful.
I have this dvd from the 1994 Earls court concert. Wish I was there man. It looks and sounds brilliant.
@@pop9095 Many people can play a song well, even admirably, but there's a difference between performance and creation. The court recognized Clare Torry as a co-creator of the song.
This footage is from the Pulse live album. The three singers are in order, Sam Brown, Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine. I saw this concert in three different venues and all were spectacular.
Sam Brown was a highly underrated singer that deserved more success than she had, I am biased though, I thought she was gorgeous when "Stop" came out. She was also a great character, she came to Australia and was on Hey Hey its Saturday and was constantly cracking jokes, good ones too. Her impersonation of a cat from the rear had everyone in tears.
Pink Floyd the best band that there ever was. I made sure to see them every time they toured the USA. This song is one of their very best. It is amazing to hear even after hearing it a thousand times.
You aren't human if it doesn't make you feel alive. It has made me cry more than once.
They make music like no other band has done before or since.
Studio recording is the most incredible performance taking into account the background of the band telling her not to use any words and to improvise with the chord changes. Amazing interpretation and sound she created is life changing.
The Dark Side Of The Moon debuted on Billboards Top 200 Albums Chart on March 17th, 1973 @ #95. It stayed on the charts for *736 weeks* until July, 1988
Eventually everyone has one :)
I never tire of hearing this track, live recording, or the original on Vinyl, But my greatest thrill was hearing it live...
Man, I was listening to this song on my way home from work tonight. I have seen Floyd 3 times and the lady back up singers earn their place on stage! Awesome Man!
Oh my god! The emotions these women sang went straight to my heart. This was so beautiful. Thank you!
Love your reaction! There is NOTHING done by Pink Floyd that sucks. Everything they do is beyond awesome xx Favourite group ever.
A wonderful example of how you can put emotion into vocals and music without ever saying a word. It's not often that backup and session singers get a chance to shine like this.
As soul touching as this is, the original with Clair Torrey will make you feel you've reexperienced transition. This is a true masterpiece. There truly are no words .. is an understatement. Thank you Pink Floyd- you are untouchable.
Im at the age of 58 and i have been loving this band for my whole life. I was lucky to see 2 of there live tours.There is still alot of there music i haven't heard yet. Try some of there older music that is unlike anything most people can imagine.
I agree that Dark Side is the best album of all time. I also agree that Clare did an amazing job on the original. It’s stunning in every sense.
The one thing I really enjoy about this version is how the three different singers impart such unique flavors into the song. And they did it live. What an experience.
What other band gives the background singer(s) an entire song to showcase on??
Animals
Always makes me cry… so powerful and moving… angels vocalizing❤️ gets me every single time I watch this performance 🥲
No auto tune there! This is pure talent, pure vocals. We had this thing called music back in those days.
I think you would enjoy the Peter Frampton song Do you feel… from Frampton Comes Alive. It’s a super cool summer anthem great energy, great guitar, also chill to add to your driving playlist.
That's the meaning of singing your soul out 🎸 absolutely astounding
Being a lifelong Pink Floyd fan, I have watched many reaction videos on their music. It is good and very heartwarming to see younger people appreciate this music as I do. Of all the reaction videos I have seen, this has to be the best reaction I have seen yet. Keep listening Adogg!!
Been a Floyd fan for almost 40 years. Needless to say they are my favourite band
The original singer for this track was Claire Torry
The backing singers where in order of appearance. Sam Brown ( daughter of Joe Brown)
Claudia Fontaine and Durga Mcbroom
Music written by Rick Wright for a movie which the director didn't like. Clare Torey called into the studio listen to it twice and was told just to sing it with no words. She left the studio with NO idea they like it. Heard on the radio going down the road. Sam Brown nailed it along with Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine. Check out some of the rest songs on 'Pulse", keep atlking ( intro by Stephen Hawkings), High Hopes, Hey you, Money, us and them. actually the whole concert.
Clare Torry done one take in studio.. Amazing
Great reaction! Try to find one of Pink Floyd's earliest albums 'Meddle.' I used to play it over the air when I was a DeeJay at my college radio station. (This was when Santana and Black Sabbath first emerged). P.S. Hubby and I saw Pink Floyd in concert 3 times! One time we 'inhaled'...🙂
Her name is Sam Brown. She has a few albums of her own. She has an incredible voice. Check her videos out.
Her single hit"stop" I have about 3 copies on vinyl
Who doesn’t like Pink Floyd! Wow what a voice.
Lol, I had a roommate that didn't care for them. When I talked him into giving Dark Side a try, when we got to this point he said she sounded like she stepped on a nail and was in pain. I told him that aside from the nail part he was on the right track and then explained why, he just sniffed and rolled his eyes. Dude missed out on a lot of great music
Amen A Ddogg to you doing them all. Pink is one of my all time favorite bands ever. So creative and soulful. This song is killer. This ladies solo will blow your socks OFF. Pink came up with an album that will live forever - Dark Side of the Moon. One of the best sellers ever. Parts of this song almost make you think you are in church. And the ladies's voices are as beautiful as they are. EPIC! This song does this to ALL of us.
It’s not a American band, they’re English. The ladies performing this song and hammering it into your soul were Claudia Fontaine, Durga McBroom and Sam Brown.
Thank you, ADOGG, for your actual music appreciation. It's refreshing to see American youth enjoying 1970's Psychedelia.
My 2nd Concert, The Wall, February 1980, Nassau Coliseum. Awesome 👌
But the G.G.I.T.S. Song. It's a Masterpiece, located in the middle of the World's Longest Selling Concept Album, of ALL TIME!!
Your choice of Live Footage from Pulse. Was exceptional 👏. I applaud your choice. The Division Bell Tour was Amazing, also.
I saw the Opening Night Show, for The World Tour, in Miami......Wow!!
P.s. my son was conceived after the Learning to Fly Tour, in 1987........
Enjoy, any version available of the G.G.I.T.S.
Pink Floyd was the most Amazing EVER.
Waters tours this Summer.
And Nick Mason, too.
Echos Tours sounds epic!!
Damn Adogg, so glad that you got to hear this track with the killer female vocals, originally sung by a little redhead named Claire Torry. Trust me brother, you've got to cover Pink Floyd's Dogs next. It's from the Animals album, and it will blow you away.✌️🎵
Yes yes yes, you MUST listen to Dogs, and have the lyrics at hand
Do yourself a favor and listen to the whole Animals album.
Gorgeous vocals and fantastic reaction.
Founding member and band leader, Syd Barrett listened to an old 78rpm blues album put out by two black blues musicians from North Carolina. He was so impressed that he talked the other band members into changing the name of the band to honor them and their style. The were PINK Anderson and FLOYD Council. At first, they called themselves: "The Pink Floyd Sound". Later it was just "Pink Floyd". They were definitely the cerebral band of rock!
The studio track was performed by Clair Torrey. The singers on this live version is Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, and Claudia Fontayne.
This live version is awesome. I still love the album version best though. I heard it after I took 5 grams of magic mushrooms and it was a life-changing experience. It brought me to tears. This and Comfortably Numb are my two favourite Pink Floyd songs, and two of my favourite songs of all time.
🤣🍄🍄 oh boy do i agree with you. Sober Dark Side vs Munchin Dark Side completely different album. My picks are High Hopes Great Gig and Sorrow. Tbh it's easier to name the songs I don't like.
One of the most beautiful vocal performances ever.
I've heard many versions of this beauty.. All fantastic! But the very first one!! Original recording!! That's all I can say about that bro.
Yeah we all had some sweaty eyes the first time we heard it to.. It was a sound and a feeling that just came into your body and took you away from all this for a few moments. Reminding us all where we came from, and shall return one fine day .. Hugely powerful, and loving tones that resonate with each one of us individually, completely different from each other but yet still connected.. It was definitely from the heavens.. To sit and write the music had to be a magical experience in itself.. Trial and error in this masterful creation of feelings into music, and then! returned back from music, into a feeling again.. Then you get to share it with the people.. Wow!!
So , now you know why we all said it's the best song in the world.. You gotta check it out!!
😎✌️
This is a masterpiece and these girls are awesome, don't get me wrong...but Clare did it in ONE take all by herself.
Took Clare multiple take but was groundbreaking.
@@MrObelisk2290 no
@@MrObelisk2290 she did 2 takes. They said let's try one more. She started number 3 and stopped and said, "I think it's all there in the first one." And the album has first of two takes.
The story I heard was 2 takes, but any number under 12 seems remarkable to me.....
Simply look up "great gig in the sky singer" and you'll find her giving interview telling the story.
The first singer is the great Sam Brown . Sadly shes lost her singing voice and is now a ukulele teacher/player. Second voice is the equally great Durga McBroom . The third vocalist was Claudia Fontaine who has a lovely voice too !
Thanks. What a shame for Sam Brown! 😢
Check out Sam Browns hit single “stop”. th-cam.com/video/i7lGQwOuiVQ/w-d-xo.html
Sad that lost Claudia in 2018 at the age of 57 😢
@@HughShower i didn't know Claudia Fontaine had passed on . May her memory ever be honoured
i have been listening to this since it first came out and it still bring chills to me no matter who is singing that part
Hi Da Real, I'm so glad you have discovered Pink Floyd. No one should live on this earth without hearing this band. They are the conduit between the earth and the heavens. Their music is literally, divine. Everyone remembers hearing Dark Side of the Moon. Wish you Were Here is a stunning album. Welcome to the club, love!
From the UK x
You should listen to this song performed at the "delicate sound of thunder" tour. For me it is the best version of this song, besides claire torry's original whitch will always be the best forever. In this one all three voices went right through my soul. That is te song they must play at my funeral. Look it up (gonna be hard, they block almost everything), listen and be awestruck....
I agree with you. I saw the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour, by far the best Live tour recording. With the exception of Astronomy Domine and One of These Days on the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. Delicate tour was absolutely incredible. Best Concert ever, hands down.
ÀDog, glad you like pink Floyd. This whole album is a classic. Was in high school when this came out. Still get chills from this song. All their albums are good. Your reaction is almost like mine was.
I've been listening to their music for about 50 years and I still have the same reaction... friggen goosebumps....
My friend, as a 70 year old rock lover, I can't tell you how happy I am that you absolutely fell in love with Pink Floyd.
Claire Torry is amazing. The entire album is a huge story and this part is improvised. She was singing about the process of dying. The entire album is freaking magical. 🔥
I have a different take on this song, I believe she is singing all of life, from her own birth, to giving birth, to death. And of course, as good as this is, you should also listen to the studio version, which was performed by just one woman, who gave a performance that really can not be repeated as it was completely spontaneous.
They took your breath away, without singing one word!
The very same reaction I had the 1st time I heard it when it 1st hit the record stores. This sent me into the world of music at age 10. I'm now 59 and this album is still in my rotation .
You had me smilin all the way through that. I saw me, in you on how I felt and reacted the first time I heard this song long ago. Truly an amazing piece.
You really need to listen to the studio version. It's even more amazing!
As good as this is, the studio version that’s on the album, sung by Clare Torrey is brilliant, singing the five stages of death without a word! Getting this album in 1973 and hearing this song for the first time, I was crying!! I wore the grooves out playing this whole album repeatedly!! Go down the hole and listen from beginning to end, all Pink Floyd records are meant to be listened to front to back. ☮️❤️
I was at that concert 😍 gives me goosebumps, I was in ICU for a while got all the Drs and nurses and other staff into Floyd with this song 😍
Love this song, and your reaction! One of my former library aides sings with a Pink Floyd tribute band, and she sang this part. I wish I could have seen her, because I totally would have cried!
this song is the "softly spoken magic spell" of the previous song; a transition from birth to death. And while this version is excellent, it doesn't hold a candle to the original... Now if ya want freaky, there are "several species of small furry animals gathered in a cave and grooving with a pict." also by Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd has been my favourite band since I was 11 years old, and got 'The Wall' on vinyl, for Christmas. That was in 1979, saw them in concert a bunch of times, without Roger Waters, unfortunately.
You should also check out the original studio version of this song. The vocalist on that, Clare Torry, did it in 2 takes. In the first take, she used a word, and the band wanted her to try again without any words, the second take is what you just experienced. She was later given a writing credit and an undisclosed sum in a out-of-court settlement with the band, since she hadn't been paid much for the original performance, (50 British pounds, maybe). Personally, I think the studio-version is just so much cleaner than the live ones, and most of the live performances aren't with Clare Torry. She brought a special magic to it.
Another of my favourite Pink Floyd songs that has no actual words, is "Obsured by Clouds", an instrumental, off the album of the same name, which preceded 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Other notable songs off that album, "Wots... uh, the Deal", "Stay", and "Free Four".
You try and stay out of trouble :)

Yes, a GREAT album, "Obscured By Clouds", and so often overlooked! This is an essential item to have in any Pink Floyd collection. I'm certain some people have never even heard of it! A HUGE loss!
@@scottmorris8585 I think 'Obscured by Clouds" might actually be my favourite album from them, though there's always a soft spot for "The Wall". I definitely agree it's a huge loss that more people haven't heard it. I keep plugging it though :)
I almost cried seeing the joy on your face, and the beauty of their voices, and the magnificence of each instrument!
Wore out the tape listening to this- I had the bbc version recorded from the broadcast.
The original was way better but I can only imaging hearing this live at a concert would make the crowd freeze in awe
It does.
Yes.I saw this twice in one weekend.Philly on Friday and NYC Sunday.Awesome
OK❗
Really Really good ❗❤
But you won't believe me
If I told you that no version is better than the original
By CLARE TORRY
It's a norther level
Try it 🙏
Keep the GOOD WORK my friend ✌
Tears to my eyes. So soulful and heartfelt.
My first major concert was Pink Floyd in 1987, I was not quite 9 yet, I have been to almost 2 dozen concerts since and NONE have compared to the experience of a Pink Floyd concert. Great to see people being introduced to the brilliance of Pink Floyd. Love from Canada💗
The best "No words used" song ever... this is my favorite Album and i used to play them in my eight track sterio both in my car and in my room at home since i was 16 . I turn 65 this oct.8 2022. Still love to rock out to the whole album with my headphones. I also love watching you and others discover them and a few other favorites that are from my youth and enjoy them, i know, as much as i do. New subscriber...keep on truckin....
And you can only imagine what the experience is like live in concert. Had the privilege of seeing them only twice in Dallas in the mid 80's
You brought back old memories with this one. thank you and God Bless...
Dude! That was awesome! That’s exactly how I felt the first time I heard it. Thanks for the great vibes. Peace.
I watched your reaction now twice.....what a song. one of tghe best songs ever heard.....no words full of emotions. Awesome
I was at that show. It was breathtaking then as it is today. I remember sitting there in absolute awe of what I was hearing like most everyone that was there.
Made me cry touched my soul. Thanks so much.
I went ahead and did a thumbs up on this cause your the first person I've seen doing a reaction to pink floyd. You know this is the type of music you can set back chill and just get on another level listening to there music.
I AM crying! So freakin beautiful!!! Love that you're diggin' it at the same level!
The blonde is Samantha "Sam" Brown singing on this version. STOP is another good song by her, and Horse to the Water on Concert for George Harrison. FANTASTIC voice!
I furst herd this wen I was 12 yrs young and dogging school just to hear the entire album and you got it guys..BLOWN AWAY big time..miss Claire Torrie me thinks 1 take and yeah she hit the mark and I wanted to cry too...effing A1 class...Dave,Roge,Nick and Richard orbviously blown away too...sheer class...not just a good call ma'maan...a bloody AWESOME call and some...
When u first hear the roar of the woman yelling the song U look so blown away......but that happened to me as well. The power u hear in this song is so strong u don’t need words.
When you said that, "I almost cried!" My eyes were already welled up to the brim. Yeah, amazing...
It's the 80's, driving from Phoenix to Washington state, had to leave late to avoid the heat. Backside of California on 395 at 2am listening to this song on a full moon. It was a moment I will never forget. Back then, roads were a lot more empty, no cell phones, no gps, just me, the car, my girlfriend (now wife of 30 years) and music. Great times.
My brother, love your reaction to The Floyd and Sam Brown. I went to see them on this tour at The Feyenoord Stadium in Rotterdam in 1994 when I was 21 years old. Listening to the band and those girls sing, what an ethereal experience, One of the best nights of my life!! Take care and never stop listening to Pink Floyd. ;))
I was at that concert.........hairs on the back of my neck stood up........the best rendition of that song, apart from the studio version by Clare Torry when the album was recorded in 1973.
