Hey, J. greetings from Canada. It's fun for us old dudes to see you young fellas encounter this song- always a great reaction... sometimes tears. To Sam, Durga and Claudia (R.i.P.)- the 3 singers- great job. To you, J.CK- the record version is even better- a lone woman, Clare Torrey, did it on her first full try, in one take. Brilliant. Visuals here are great though,... at the end when David turns from his console steel to watch Claudia, and forgets to finish, he's so taken by her performance. Sublime. Be safe, man.

Pink Floyd Pulse Live is definitely one of the best!!!

The original recording was done by just Clare Torry on her own! She did 2 & a half recordings. First go, she used words and was told, we don't know what we want, but not that! After some thought she did take 2 That was the take that left everyone gob-smacked. She had a go at a third take but stopped halfway through, saying sorry but take 2 was all she had. Apparently she took the stunned silence as a bad thing, and only found out her vocal was used when the album was released. Years later a "writers credit" deals was done for the vocal she had created. I believe it was financially a little better than the one-off session fee paid on the day😂 While those 3 ladies do a truly amazing job there will always be something very special about the original Dark Side of the Moon track.

I read that her standard fee at the time was 15£ but as the recording session was on a Sunday she received 30.

What you are listening to dude is the pink Floyd experience . Great reaction

Luv watching you watch GREAT reaction Thanks 4Sharing

Love your emotional expression to The great gig in the sky. Surprised you didn't cry. Gets me every time. It's like it stretches the soul to grow. Next time "Shine on on you crazy diamond "

Too Right! Luv ur reaction. It's quite amazing isn't it Thanks 4Sharing

Amazing! Thank you!

Leave it to David to bring along 3 accomplished and talented singers to do backing vocals. Of coarse they smashed it! And anyone of them could do on their own. But hey why not all 3 take a turn.

I have seen Pink Floyd Live 4 times… I saw this same show in N.Y. 1994. The concert brochure said the stage is 120 feet wide. It takes a crew of 60 technicians three days to set up the entire lights and all. The concert schedule required that there had to be three entire crews to keep up. They leap froged each other for 92 shows with 20 Trucks per crew and a total staff of 195. The tour cost the promoters $98.MILLION to put on, but the total profit was $260 MILLION. Nick Mason’s drumming is incredible and matches Gilmour’s guitar emotions while Richard Wright takes us on a Magic Carpet Ride of tones that form the foundation of it all.

"Comfortamble numb". Album The Wall 1979.

Neat to see the guys playing this, but the studio version with the original singer is much better vocally, if you can imagine that! 🔥🔥🔥These singers did do a great job, though. 🤗👏🏼

"I've never experienced anything like that in my life." Floyd fans everywhere understand.

😉 Gotcha again! 😁 Great reaction! 🍿🐰

One of the few times when I would rather you react to the studio version. Nobody does it like Clare Torry did!

Echoes live in Danske!

this one must be consumed studio from the original album

The cerebral band of rock!

Go back and listen closely to the lyrics spoken at the beginning of the song. The song is about that man slowly dying. The first section is the pain, anger frustration that the person is slowly dying. The second section is to do with accepting they are dying and starting to let go. The third section is the peace and joy that death has brought to the person.

Try the "Pulse" concert. Other reactors seem to have success with it. I think it's better anyway.

If you listen carefully this song is about the stages of accepting death ,Denial then anger followed by sorrow and finally acceptance and all the feelings in between . It shows them all so beautifully whilst never saying a word

Studio version first

You should react to “YYZ” by Rush, insane musicianship, also “When the Levee Breaks” by Led Zeppelin

Have you done much else from Dark Side of The Moon? It's entirely epic.

@@justjord4088 ooooooh, you're in for a TREAT. I haven't heard that they get blocked either, but you can check with your reactor friends. I'll shut up about nearly every other band, but Pink Floyd, almost always studio. That was good live, though, since it's musically simple.

@@justjord4088 You won't be disappointed. Privately away from putting things up on YT, listen to the whole album in one go. It was conceived as as single piece, performed in its entirety here in the Pulse gig. It is a legendary work, one of the biggest selling albums ever and spent a staggering 13 years in the US album chart. It's widely regarded as one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded. You need to listen to it all in one go as the tracks melt into each other and cutting it up just ruins that. We live in a world conditioned to listen to 3-minute radio playlist friendly 'pop'. PF don't do 'pop', they make sonic art. So if you're a PF 'virgin', dive into DSOTM. Your ears will love you forever.... :). BTW, here they use 3 singers but the original album uses Clare Torrey who belts it all out perfectly herself. If you listen to the studio album, you'll realise how well Floyd recreate their sound live.

But this is a reaction channel, and purists would say no reactions after listening to a song/track. After he does the videos, he can listen to the whole thing in one go. And I disagree, as usual, on any PF live being as good as studio. It's not possible to engineer the sound like they do on the album.

🙋🏿‍♀️ May I suggest 🐕 'Dogs' 😒 or 🐖 'Pigs' or 🐑 'Sheep' off their Animals Album if you haven't done so already! 😚 Please & Thank You! 🍿🐰

You wanted something New and hot to explosive emotional songs. My recommendation to be blessed with is Joe Bonamassa & Beth Heart live. “Is Ain’t no way”

Sam Brown is a great singer

FIRST!

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.

Welcome to the other side …

do you know this is a reaction to the death of a loved one?

Buddy, you're louder than the music. Never good in a reaction video.
