The lyric in “Time” that goes: “The time has come. The song is over. Thought I’d something more to say”, isn’t about the song ending. It’s about life ending. When that day comes, who doesn’t feel they need more time because they thought they had something more to “say” in this life. Leading right into “The Great Gig in the Sky”. A song about the emotions associated with the end of life. Absolute masterpiece!

Guys, you have to keep reminding yourself that this is a 50(!) year old work!!! And yet it's still so incredibly modern and relevant. Let's not forget that all those sound effects must have actually been recorded on tape and hand-edited in the studio. Waters recalls trying to throw coins into different sized jars in his garage at home to make it sound good. And he recorded everything with a microphone on a tape recorder. Alan Parsons (the sound engineer at Abbey Road, where the album was recorded) sent engineers and sound engineers into the field to record hundreds of feet of footage, which he then pieced together. He recalls that at one time the entire studio was wrapped in tape with labels and no one was allowed to enter the studio lest they destroy it. From today's point of view, an unimaginable job, but at the same time it must have been incredibly creative. Parsons himself recalls that even when he was recording, he was sure he was creating something special. And he was right! Parsons, by the way, was the one who brought Clare Torry into the studio to record The Great Concert in the Sky. Instrumentally, she is without doubt flawless, but - in my opinion - it's all about the message that this masterpiece delivers. I know from experience how hard it is to catch everything Pink Floyd recorded on first listen. I think it's just not possible. However, I remember that I always followed the music (and the atmosphere of the whole album) on the first listen. Then you find that you have to listen again because you want to concentrate on the lyrics, and after the third and fourth and fifth...... you're just taking in the details, and only after the xth listen, when you know it already, do you enjoy every note and the feeling of bliss it brings. I think that's what you're in for too. And not just with this album - another gem from this band is Wish You Were Here - you MUST hear that too - it's my favourite! Excuse my English - I'm from the Czech Republic and I'm helping myself with a translator...

Probably the greatest Rock album of all time! Clare Torry did an impeccably, creative and incredible job on this song, she did a number of shows with Pink Floyd, not only for this song, but also as one of the backup singers. Pink Floyd always toured with backup singers from the 70s on. Speaking of touring, Pink Floyd PLAYED "The Dark Side of the Moon", album before it was an album,.... live for over a year before the album was released in March 1973! The whole album at most every show in 1972 and the beginning of 1973. Crazy right? No band did that kind of thing, just the opposite, a band would release an album, then tour to promote the album. Pink Floyd is on another level!

Gentlemen, I think you'd enjoy looking up the story of Clare Torry's vocals on "The Great Gig in the Sky." She showed up at the studio for what she thought was an audition. They gave her essentially no direction other than to listen to the music and sang what she felt. She had no idea what to do and just made it up on the spot without a clue as to what they wanted or were even looking for. They did two takes, then dismissed her. She thought she lost the job because she didn't know what they wanted, and wasn't aware that they had used it until the album came out. What she didn't know is that the band didn't know what they were looking for either, but they were stunned after her performance and then knew that what she did is what they were looking for.

i´m so glad to see your generation cherish this. may i suggest something here? the way you like them, of course now you will go straight through their 4 main concept albums, dark side of the moon, wish you were here, animals & the wall. and that is perfect, BUT: pleeeeeeeease do at least two of their live performance soon, so you can experience them on an unfathomable level and understand what force they are: 1) COMFORTABLY NUMB Live Pulse 1994 2) ECHOES Live in Pompeii 1972.

Dark Side of the Moon is really special; before the microwave age when we had to be patient! It's like a long amazing piece of poetry to music, you allow your mind to take you on your unique journey listening to the album. Never tire of it, even after almost 50 years of listening. It fills my soul...🙂

Clare Torry, who sings “The Great Gig In The Sky”, was hired to put a vocal on the track, did her vocal, and had no idea that they’d used any of it until one day she walked past a record store and saw the album for sale. She bought one and took it home to play it, and was stunned to find they’d not only used it all, but also gave her a writing credit, meaning she gets royalties on album sales! Truly a great gig in the sky a singer might dream about.

The story of how Clare Torry became a part of The Great Gig in the Sky is really interesting. It is a really genuine moment in time where everything just came together perfectly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/govEpoZ9nbl-p6M Here she is about 18 years later doing it live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHi7aIWuqLmBo9E

Sadly Floyd did not give co-writing credit to Clare for decades after Dark Side was released, which was inexcusable. She eventually sued Floyd and EMI in 2004, and was awarded co-writing credit and an undisclosed amount of money for her share of back royalties. A shameful episode on Floyd’s part

If there is ever an album to own on vinyl, it’s definitely this. Best way to listen to it is on vinyl with headphones while laying down and just letting the music take you places. The emotions you’ll feel throughout is unlike any other other experience through music. True masters at their craft.

I was standing in One Octave Higher on night 50 years ago (as of this writing). The new Pink Floyd had come in that afternoon. My friend Dan worked there. He opened a copy and put it on. I stayed, listened and bought one. I still have it in good condition. I felt the music's power to change on that night.

I feel that this was the beginning of a Collective Navel Gazing. Perhaps, the Beatles began the concept album and the Who and The Beach Boys had their albums, also, but the lte 60's were not main stream Americana yet. Radio was still AM and Top 40, and albums were listened to at home, or at some parties. But the 70's ushered in recreational drugs that entered rural America, and the suburbs, and FM radio stations began branching into album rock, and we had cars with 8-track tape decks. And we had innocence. It was all new. And we learned about each other through Rolling Stone Magazine and High Times. This was the album that shook our world; a Collective of teens and young adults, completely separate from the generations before us. This was US, Completely, and we listened, high as hell, with our friends and alone, over and over. And the parents never knew. The police didn't know. No one over 30 knew. Only we knew this was happening. And...Love the O's hat. 🙂

I cracked up when you said that On the Run sounded like a video game from that time. Written in 1972, before video games existed, this was pre-digital, all analog synths mixed and recorded on tape. 50 years old and *still* ahead of its time. And you're right, you do have to get it on vinyl so you can drop the needle, put on the headphones, turn out the lights and enjoy. 😎

I was 15 when this album first came out. It was the number one album played everywhere. Every one of my friends, including me, owned it. For some reason, and a good reason, we never burned out. :D Best way to listen to this is from start to finish. Head phones will do, but my friends and I would lay down on a really huge soft bean bag chair, in the center of 4 speakers. And just relax and close our eyes and listen to this entire album. It was an experience. You don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you feel their music.

This whole album is just an amazing piece of sequential but yet separate creations, and are really just the story of life from birth to death and all that may lie in between. While far from required, we of a certain age found a little herbal essence really helped to free one's mind to really appreciate the depth of sound and the way it all leads one thing into the other. And to make us wonder and appreciate and to be awed.
