Clare Torry - The Great Gig In The Sky (Live 1987)

Almost 400 000 views! :) thanks for watching!! / 2015-01-03
This is Clare Torry performing the Great Gig In the Sky at Wembley arena 22 November 1987. She appeared as a special guest to Roger Waters at this concert. Enjoy!!
(This is the ORIGINAL singer who sang on the 'Dark Side Of The Moon' album, for those who didn't know)
(Apparently there is a long 4 minute silence after it's ended.. didn't know how to edit it so i just left it in)

[@NeonBlade]

The greatest rock vocal ever. The agony in her voice on the original recording is exquisite. Still sends a chill up my spine 43 years later

[@floydfanforlife]

and no words were ever spoken!!

[@avgantman]

agony and ecstasy

[@charleswildman137]

When I was a teenager I would fast forward past this cause I didn't want my buddies to see me start crying! This shit still brings tears to my eyes!

[@codybear420]

I loved pink floyd the wall bc my older brother had the movie on vhs. I watched it almost daily. When i was 10 i bought dsotm on cassette expecting it to be theatrical like the wall. Whenever this song came on I'd fast forward it out of embarrassment. One day when i was 13 i had dsotm on cd n a discman i would listen to on the bus ride to school. I figured no one can hear me listening to it so I didnt skip it. I felt it. Really felt it. Its so soulful and beautiful. It still moves me to this day.

[@nunyabidnis5407]

Not a word, yet the tears flow.

[@Revolution1117]

Indeed. I can't help but go to pieces when I hear Clare's vocals.

[@MrBikedrummer]

Ditto

[@peggylevenstein3220]

I had such a hard time crying after my beloved mother passed following a lengthy battle with cancer. My husband put this CD on the stereo and that was it. The dam broke open, my heart finally shattered and the healing process began although this can still bring me right back to the first moment I ever heard Clare's solo. I owe her everything.

[@chevypreps6417]

Thank you for sharing your story. Clare had a fab voice for sure. When she first cuts in it is overwhelming.

[@superdull7278]

Thank you for sharing this. I have so much emotion attached to this song.

Are you afraid of dying? Don't be, embace it.

[@ape2reginaforse504]

per me ..ancora !!!

[@fenderstratguy]

Cannot imagine how difficult it would be to re-sing the original version note for note, since I believe she more or less composed her parts as she went, on the fly, in the studio. Now try to do that alone, in front of a few thousand people. Boundless respect is deserved here, for both a masterful original achievement and a powerful live rendition.

[@stecchianu]

I totally agree with you!

[@PCFDD]

+fenderstratguy I think Gilmour said they cut the final track from several takes she did, so it wasn't one take.

[@fenderstratguy]

@ PCFDD Claire said they only did two full takes. Based on Claire's comments, I believe she thought the first of the two takes was better.

[@PCFDD]

+fenderstratguy Hmm, it seems they all have differing recollections, probably a few too many substances floating about. Cracking vocal either way.

[@fenderstratguy]

Claire's recollection is 2, and then the band wanted another. So they started a third, but she stopped in the middle and couldn't go on. She was probably not on drugs. She only mentions having a beer.

[@billymcmonagle949]

The most beautiful non lyric vocal ever, emotional, and heartbreaking at the same time.

[@bjbinmke]

Considering this was performed live, 15 years after she cut the studio album, I think she does a pretty damn good job of it.

[@sampletekk]

No autotuners or other studio trickery. Just pure fucking talent! Goosebumps!

[@reddog40]

Yes!!!

[@perfgrafx]

Claire Torre was the original creator of one of Pink Floyd's most enigmatic pieces of epic music which will go down in history as such. Thank you Torre

[@nunyobisnez7864]

but the vocal solo is the whole point.

[@topbanana8438]

not with no back tracking lol she simply following the sound and its not written by her , her voice is an instrument as said by her herself

[@garryiglesias4074]

Alan Parson is one of the important keys in this track, as much as any other musicians.

[@ethnicleanserberg7975]

@@garryiglesias4074 no actually , Alan contributed yes , but Wright IS the one who structured and made this song in every essence .

[@ClaudioSanchezCC]

Soul....Death , Denial , Fear, Courage, Sadness, Humour, Despair, Regret and finally acceptance, that is what this song speaks to me ! Here to Pink Floyd *raising a glass of red wine*

[@MeredithWaters]

That is exactly how I feel about this song and why I feel it is one of the most powerful songs of all time of its genre.

[@ClaudioSanchezCC]

Absolutely. Its an outstanding piece of musicianship and production! :)

[@lescox100]

ClaudioSanchezCC This will be played at my funeral. All of the feelings that you have mentioned above are encapsulated in this one track

[@livemylifeinthecity]

And love. And heartbreak. And pain. Catharsis. I still remember the first time I listened to the album. Stayed up all night. First time I heard echoes. Cigarette after cigarette. First on headphones, then on speakers, then back on headphones. That sofa in Västerås, and that balcony. The summer and the long day. Beautiful time. Cried that night. Tear up every time I listen to The Great Gig in the Sky. Hence I avoid it a lot.

[@mikestockbridge5368]

Yes, absolutely, the anguish, panic and terror of death approaching, the odd last scare as she passes through the vale, then calm acceptance once she's passed to the other side. The deepest and most inciteful song ever written - without a word in sight.

[@MeredithWaters]

I think this is one of the most touching songs a female singer could ever try to sing, the quintessential aria of progressive rock. No one could ever sing it like Clare. When I finally attempted to record it myself, I carefully read what she had to say about when she recorded it, and took her advice on keeping the spontaneity in it, and did it my own way. I am honored to have my own rendition of it, but this song will always belong to Clare and she will always have my eternal respect for being the songstress of maybe the most epic female rock songs ever.

[@vanessapaiva7766]

SweetDjehutyBlueEyes Where can your version be found? I would love to listen to it...

[@octavioolguin]

Me too would like to enjoy it

[@IlGattoCheFuma]

SweetDjehutyBlueEyes Cut the act old hag. aria? Seriously? You seem like you know how to read but not write. Maybe check what you write before you brag about how you sang the same song, and i can't even see what you could brag about? Honored, again seriously? No one knows you gtfo. And oh sure Clare must've really needed the affirmation that this song will always belong to her lol. What has it come to. Just go play with your grandkids or something. Ouch sorry you probably don't have em cus you were so far up your butt you let no one close.

[@MeredithWaters]

I am who I am...a woman who writes and covers music from my soul from a place of love and authenticity. There are lots of "unknown" people with KZbin channels - aren't you one of them also? We reflect ourselves in what we give to the world, our own beauty or ugliness. It has nothing to do with age, fame, or lack thereof. We have only this moment, this space in our lives to breathe and live to the fullest and ask the best of ourselves and to share it freely...this song is about finding all our chances to do so have come to and end. I think based on your comment that it is you who does not quite get the import of that. We will all have a last breath. I for one will be glad when the time comes, to have used some of my breaths to sing, and wasted less on words of ill will...

[@octavioolguin]

I'm with you, sweetdjehuty

[@vinizoso6156]

Don't be silly people!! First off this is 15 years after she first belted it, some time on her voice plays a role. Second, this is AMAZING!! I don't feel she has lost any of the real feel the song initially had. Third, I dare anyone to do this song live and compare it to a studio take... you will disappointed. Lastly she wrote it, so if it doesn't live up to your standards...TS, she will sing it any way she likes. Once a masterpiece has been created it is ignorant to think the artist should or even can recreate it the same way. Certain things happen once and you can never expect the same results ever again...which makes them so rare, so beautiful.

[@bobcatbikerlady]

I get goosebumps every time I hear her voice... She moves my soul. Cheers!

[@vincentlussier8264]

Absolutely astounding voice she has! Goosebumps

[@wwilddjohnson01]

Her voice still makes my hair stand up and gives me a shiver, all in the best way. Awesome voice.

[@catsinhouse]

I listened to this every night driving back to my home from staying with my dying father at the hospital/hospice for a month. I just felt so hopeless and shattered - this was so very cathartic and still is today.

[@fabriziomorris5320]

@@catsinhouse Humans are so different. I can hardly listen to this without crying all the tears that I have even when theres nothing wrong in my life. I cant even imagine listening to it in the kind of predicament you were in. I wouldnt be able to go past the first three notes, it wouldnt lessen the pain, it would add to it and break me down for good

[@jamesmarshall9420]

Ms. Torry was a vocal goddess singing the original version, and to here a live rendition of this siren song sung by her is a gift from the Gods!

[@MillerSting]

This song is one of three that are pivotal moments in my life....I was walking into an exchange program education camp outside Kiev, Ukraine (when it was a part of the former Soviet Union) in 1974 and as I came through the gates, it was blaring on the loud speakers. Wow! What a moment!

I can still remember hearing this for the first time...THE most original and inspiring thing I’ve ever heard on a first listen... it just got better and better and I’ve heard many great imitations but none of them seem to convey the emotion that Clare Torry laid down. Just one of those magical moments in the history of rock.

[@Specialized61]

My mom had a stroke in Febuary followed by a heart attack which left her left side paralyzed and now in hospice. I got up this morning getting ready to go see her and found this video. Clare's voice brought mr to tears. It's like an angel saying all will be well in the end.

[@lastrada52]

Clare Torry....absolutely supernatural on this song. No wonder Pink Floyd had her do this originally. None who came after her have come close. They're all credible...but none have that orgasmic soulful tone she alone brought to the song. Her voice was not just a vocal performance -- she used it like a solo instrument. She soared above it. And they think today's divas are great? Sharing the stage with Clare would be a challenge.

[@lescox100]

John LaStrada Hi have listened to many trying to do this vocal and it takes a special voice and a special person that can depict the sensations of one dying. Most of the others trying probably don't undestand the concept. Have tried to explain to many people over the years that this is not someone having sex but someone dying. Difficult to get through sometimes

[@chrismartinez238]

leslie cox best post on youtube yet. takes a rare person in an exact moment to depict the final page of our books. If I could afford it I would have ann wilson do it at my sevices

[@julieforlizzo8319]

leslie cox Thanks for explaining this. I don't know about singing but when I hear something raw and extraterrestial, I know it. I just didn't know what one had to experience to get the vocals right on this song. So explaining it like dying completely cleared it up. Don't know how other singers don't get it.

[@Totocellux]

+John LaStrada yeah ... Roger David Nick Richard (RIP), all asked Alan (Parsons, the sound engineer of The Dark Side Of The Moon) if he had in mind a vocalist to fit the part and he recommended them immediately to call Clare Torry. She tried the piece in studio once only, just that was recorded in the album. Phenomenal :-)

[@floydfanforlife]

i think she was THE original "diva"... a friend of a friend they had heard sing a bit and brought her in to try a few takes... wow...that studio recording is just amazing and will be played at my funeral!!!!lol

[@CiPhEr505]

A true test of a singer's pipes. You can't just lay down the song with talent alone - you need a musical mind to "play" with the solo. This song brings me to tears every time, it's just _beautiful_ .

When I was a kid, young teen I used to listen to Floyd cause my dad was into them. There were several tracks that were favourites of mine. This being one of them .... my most favourite. My dad really loved this one too and played it a lot. I wish he was still alive today. Just so he could relive all his most special music remastered and sounding so good! He'd of been in his element living with all the new technology. He was an engineer. He embraced the new stuff in his day and age! I think he'd of been blown away by all of today's technology! Music is so evocative!

[@jamescarpenter6585]

I’ve seen and heard many very plausible renditions of this but none of them sound as primal as Clare’s ...it’s like her soul is being ripped out of her body and it’s then followed by the sweet, exquisite acceptance as it drifts off into the ether. I was lucky enough to tick one item off on my bucket list when I was honoured to watch Clare perform this live on Roger Waters’ Radio KAOS tour (in London) in the late eighties...and I use that word again “exquisite “

[@JonathonPawelko]

Wow wow and just wow! My God isn't she just phenomenal. I heard a rather interesting interview with Alan Parsons where he said that he "knew" a singer who could sing anything. Apparently she had no idea whatsoever that there were no words to the song, and she just sang her heart out and delivered musical history. I asked a street musician to play this song as my choice of my favourite Pink Floyd song, Wish You Were Here was my second choice. I have always had an affinity for this song and the stunning vocals, and but as I learned about the album history, I loved it even more. Cheers from Canada.

[@donlanteigne8629]

Sad that there's no actual video of this. I was hoping for better audio as well. Clare Torry did an interview saying that when the original recording was recorded she nailed it on the first take, she didn't even really know what she was supposed to be doing. She said David Gilmore directed her saying that they wanted no words and she should pretend her voice was an instrument. She told Alan Parsons to record her first attempt because it usually comes out to be the best, after that it sounds contrived. She didn't like it either and tried it a few more times, then she left. After that she heard noting from the band or Alan Parsons. Months later she saw the album for sale and saw her name on it. She bought it, went home and listened to it with headphones (the best way to listen to music) and liked it. She did so well the first time that I think even she can't duplicate herself. That's why nobody is impressed with this live version after hearing the recorded version. Turns out Clare was right, everything after the first attempt does sound contrived.

[@stephenspero3201]

Before I heard the interview with Torry, I always knew this was one of the most incredible vocal /instrument I ever heard. The deep soulful to the most extreme in human emotion ever expressed!

That´s rignt! All True

[@jbawn]

I don't know. Sam Brown on Pulse is as good if not better as is Eva Avila from Brit Floyd

[@jklmn101]

Don Lanteigne, a couple of corrections. Technically it wasn't recorded in one take. They brought her in on Alan Parson's recommendations, and it was explained that the piece had no written words and she was to improvise. He first two takes, apparently cut short, did include limited words, and Rodger Waters said that was not what he was looking for. According to interviews it was her idea to use her voice as an instrument, no Gilmours. She did leave the studio not believing her track would be used on the album, and was surprised to hear it when the album later came out. However, she was not credited on the original release. I have one and wondered for years who this voice belonged to. Additionally she received no compensation for the millions of albums sold. This did go to court and was eventually ruled in her favor, and subsequent copies of the album do credit her work.

I was born in 66 and I knew every word to every song by 1974... I used to lay on the floor next to the speaker and just squeeze a pillow and exorb all the emotion this album provided.

Que voz!!! Mes de 40 años despues y su voz estremece!!

Quando ho scoperto che questa Donna (col maiuscolo) è stata pagata 30 sterline per quella registrazione che è entrata nella storia delle emozioni musicali, non posso che inchinarmi! Non posso che essere deluso invece da quei miliardari che tanto stimiamo che l'hanno sfruttata senza riconoscimenti. In questa registrazione non è all'altezza della sua performance? Non importa! L'umano non è una macchina! La vera Arte non è ripetibile! E' l'unica vera magia della vita. Portiamo rispetto a chi ci ha dato la Bellezza! "Dark side of the moon" e i P.F. senza questa performance non sarebbero gli stessi. Clare Torry! I love you!

so raw, so good, so classic, this is my new favorite thing now, to come home and put this on it calms me down love her love it

As a sound engineer, I have often wondered if the engineer on this recording, the fabulous Alan Parsons, realized the historic significance of the moment when Clair Torry was singing. This is the Grand Slam of any recording/mixing engineer. This recording would be the only one on my resume.

I was stunned watching her do this in concert. Let’s hear it for the union back up vocals that make any song ever written sound even better. 🎶

[@golemaq71]

Assolutamente fantastica! Emozione allo stato puro, un fiume in piena incontrollabile. Le altre imitano ciò che Clare registrò in studio, lei "compone" live sull'onda emotiva. Insuperabile.

I'm coming to Clare Torry's defense re: criticism of her live performance. Check out Clare's comments during an interview about the original studio recording posted by The Mudman (8:44). She admits "the first take is usually the best" and that any take after the first one is going to sound "contrived." For whatever reason Clare sang it differently than the original much like other musicians do with their own works. I wanted to hear the original studio version during the live performance too, but that's never the case when I've seen any show live. My heart wants to soar to all the familiar notes of the original recording I've listened to since I was a 7 y/o (47 now), but feels let down if I hear something short of that. Her performance isn't bad, it's just different from what I wanted or expected to hear. The original still makes me cry to this day; thanks Clare!!

[@vittorioabr]

I can see why some comments show disappointment with this version, but it is because they don't understand that singing live is really tough! You don't have chances for second takes and no studio engineering equipment to polish your sound. I actually was not disappointed with this version. Maybe I was expecting less and was surprised by a decent rendition. Overall very good.

[@lavieestbelle3349]

Agreed!

[@TheresScienceToDo]

It's not really anything to do with second takes, the studio version was done in one take and was amazing. But it would be extremely difficult to replicate, especially given the pressure you would feel.

[@nufimamar]

TheresScienceToDo The studio version was done with parts from the three takes she recorded

[@jbawn]

You wanna see the version from Knebworth. Her voice was having a really bad day then

[@AA-bm5jb]

This is also years later... What do you expect?

[@neckapb]

There's nothing like the real thing.

[@lapinemike]

I have listened to a dozen or more video's here on KZbin trying to do this! Some were pretty good, some were terrible...NO ONE will ever be able to do it like Clare!! Such a voice!!!!!

[@sarifahschweizer7354]

One hell of performance ahead of time......thrully out of this world.....and iam totally taken !zoning where there's true beauty lies for me ! Magnificent !❤❤❤
