PINK FLOYD "THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY" | REACTION

[@easilydistracted5140]

Great Gig in the sky, best example of leaving earth and entering heaven!

[@ShreveportJoe]

The vocalists are, in order… Sam Brown (from London), Durga McBroom (Los Angeles), and Claudia Fontaine (London, RIP).

[@angelagraves865]

(7:37) You'll say that about every Pink Floyd song you listen to. They're a genre unto themselves and it's all beautiful.

[@davidboivin7996]

You don't just listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd. They are THE masters at creating soundscapes!!

[@tonyradmilovich3154]

I don't care what color you are, what age you are, what gender you are or what kind of music you listen to, If this song doesn't tear a hole in your soul, you ain't got one.

[@DavidWoodard-d5n]

The truth has been spoken! Well said!

[@robertmartyr9432]

You have no idea what's coming when you start the Pink Floyd journey!

[@someguy-k2h]

And there is no way off that train. I can't count the number of times I've listened to Animals, and Wish you were here, thousands. I still hear new things in them.

[@wesalker3479]

Not familiar with the ladies singing in the concert but, I am fairly sure that a gal named Clare Torey is the originator of the vocals, in the studio, AND IT WAS IMPROVISED by her on the spot. She was just told what message/mood that they wanted to convey and "handed the ball off" to her. AND THE REST IS HISTORY!

[@anabanana7599]

She was also heavily pregnant at the time

[@truckinfool3550]

Clare Torry was incredible in the original, but these three ladies were amazing in their own right. Sam Brown, Claudia Fontaine, and Durga McBroom…

[@leahdoerr731]

You're correct

[@alanpeterson4939]

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Pulse

[@victorjohnson7512]

The "Great Gig in the Sky" is Heaven. This song is about the emotion of dying and ascension. The entire album "dark side of the moon" is about the phases of human existence....

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Simply beautiful.

[@chevypreps6417]

The ladies in this song are incredible.

[@leahdoerr731]

Hello from Cody Wyoming! You're awesome! Keep it up..my favorite band and favorite reactor l, nice😊

[@jc5247]

Same concert " Comfortably Numb" the greatest solo EVER **********************************

[@BrianRathboneFantasyAuthor]

Concur

[@philshorten3221]

The album Pink Floyds "The Dark Side of the Moon" is literally a Bible of modern life and definitely needs to be done in two hits (side 1 / side 2) because tracks transition directly into each other and themes follow 😉

[@carolrockhold1482]

her name is Sam Brown and a rare one as she can sing in every octave. RIP Durga McBroom!

[@prischm5462]

Pure female soul. As a man I can't get enough of this.

[@ericweinman9447]

Amazing. Boshido Brown is doing Pink Floyd, my favorite group as a kid, and BTS, my current favorite. Man's got taste.

[@tonys2899]

They are all great, but I love Shine on you Crazy Diamond the most.

[@richspeel7576]

Family this is called art... Good stuff Floyd and The Beastie boys are my go-to.

[@wolfstrela]

Any Live Pulse song is amazing.

[@charlestath4758]

Im so glad I am old I lived when this was new. Remember many nights listening tothis. The reason I bought my first set of bose 901s

[@harvestmoon747]

I loved this. LOVED this... Cried, laughed. Keep on checking out Floyd.. You will fall in love again and again

[@jamesonlewispresents]

Albums in order. Tells story or has theme and the songs connect. Truly Opera for Us! This is the experience of death and going to that Great Gig in the Sky.

[@riptide6161]

I know. Right? Like... this is beautiful. Unexpected. Powerful. Love it. Pink Floyd. There are no substitutes.

[@robertherring9277]

And, there are albums that good... cant say better. Each has a theme and is a masterpiece. Pink Floyd is an experience... not a band. But album music. Each sude of s vinyl LP was literally a song broken up my words printed of the jacket.

[@boosuedon]

The band is named in honor of two older black blues musicians from North Carolina, PINK Anderson and FLOYD Council. They never recorded a love song, always had something to say.

[@RO-vh8ln]

And the album that this came from just turned 50 years old! And yes listen to the whole album from start to finish, you wont regret it.

[@nickawhite76]

Please do the studio version of Pink Floyd errytime. They're always the reason for the talk :) Clare Torry was the original singer on the album cut. She was asked to just feel the music, and go with it. She not only hadn't heard it before, but she was sailing on the wind and crashing on the waves of her emotions, as far as her own mortality. She wailed as a soul crossing over, to become at peace. It's so incredibly raw and powerful, and Pink Floyd's music gave her the inspiration to let go and do it. They gave each other life - so cool!

[@starrroberts-n9h]

This song is about the raw emotions of transitions of leaving life, the stages of dying, anger, fear, resistance and finally acceptance, very powerful.

[@danlatour6360]

Hey momma baby son, this song represents the throws of death and the ascension

[@moniqueleroux2198]

Studio version is the masterpiece w/ Clare Torry!

[@jackculkin1015]

Listen to 1994 pulse concert, Pink Floyd, comfortably numb and any others from that concert. It will blow you away.

[@Fairygrl_TW]

One of the best concerts ever and one of the best songs. My #1 band of all time. Masters of their art. What a beautiful way to explain the stages of death (anger, fear, acceptance) with no words. After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. Thanx so much, take care, Peace

[@robbob5302]

If you start the album at the exact same time you start the movie Wizard of Oz, this song plays during the tornado scene. And ends precisely when Dorothy opens the door, and the movie switches to color.

[@thorstambaugh1520]

Claire Torrey killed this. Not even comparable

[@rickpearson3018]

I hope this helps you understand this song. The song before it on the album, "Time", is about how time flies by and suddenly one realizes that so much of life has passesd without us knowing it. This song is about accepting one's own death. At 65 years old, this moves me to tears as it did when I was in high school, but now I know why. I love that you are living your dream.

[@ikshields]

Wordless vocals - “vocalise” - are definitely not just a Pink Floyd thing. Jazz and Classical singers have been doing it forever, eliminating the last impediment to using the voice as a pure instrument. But no question, Pink Floyd’s use of it here in this piece evoking the end of a life is absolutely stunning, and an epic showcase for the all-star trio of backup singers.

[@terriwhite6733]

Sam Brown takes you up so high and sets you down so softly!!

[@pamharris2961]

Best song on whole album ❤

[@jodoggie2]

You nailed Boshido...they are a symphony orchestra. It's what make them so different. Just like the post below said, they are their own genre. When and IF any other band can ever create music live, or even recorded like this, it will be called FLOYD.

[@markinc7]

Enjoy your reaction. If you love the vocals check out "On the Turning Away" LIVE Delicate Sounds of Thunder Tour 1988 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! You won't be disappointed.!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CatherinePearl100]

This song was about the point of death, set to music, from the perspective of the person who is dying. If you keep that in mind, listen to the song again, and it’ll have a whole new meaning.

[@robertherring9277]

Was at Pulse. Awesome, but album veraion is the BEST. Oddly a rare thing with Floyd, but the stars aligned for the studio of this track... I mean it is what it was.

[@steveboyes2090]

try SORROW from the same live pulse concert. HIGH HOPES, KEEP TALKING same concert. This song is one masterpiece for sure, but they do have many lol....

[@davidfischer1138]

This song is about death, and the souls journey to the "great gig in the sky"

[@Tijuanabill]

How they found a way to out do the original recording, which was also performed by a legend, is beyond me.

[@haroldjacobs1490]

yay, you picked the good one....let me watch, thanks in advance. Actually, the studio version of this song is the one to listen to with Claire Torrey.....trust me worth it to do another reaction to hear the studio version.....tip for pink floyd....live versions are good/great but studio version is where it is Pink Floyd perfect......check out "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V)" studio version of course....it's a long track but outer space is far and it will take you there and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX)" will bring you home safe and warm.

[@nickybrooks6942]

This song is about the human reaction to death . Fear followed by anger then sorrow and eventually acceptance . Just listen to how it goes from one emotion to the next . PS if you really want something from them just as meaningful look up " When the tigers broke free " .

[@bingohall1333]

The fellow talking at the start was one of the engineers or some painter working at the music studios when recording this album they asked him a few questions and that was his answers it was so long ago now things get mixed up a bit. That was his fifteen minutes of fame. On properly one of the best albums ever with was on the documentary and a strange man walks into the recording studio and it's their old lead singer Sid and no one recognises him, he looks around and walks off cleaned his act up no drink, drugs and regularly meals. Later find a quiet corner and play this album with the lights off it sounds so much better and use headphones it blocks out road noises and neighbors. I bought my album in the late seventies and my brother gave me his album version plus some others Peter Frampton, Supertramp and Rush now Rush that's a whole new noise you should look into from Canada, It gets a mention on that American show where a mother wants to be in her kids lives and the father comes home and takes his pants off and their Jewish the youngest is called Adam he grew up to be a movie or tv show writer or tv show maker and he's sister Monica and all I can remember about the oldest is beefy and a orange ice-hockey shirt and it mentioned the band Rush from time to time. Floyd from the first pressing, it came out it's worth a small fortune now in Britain thanks bro I had a copy I bought the seller said, that some had album stickers are missing and some didn't have any in them,but in my brother's album he had all stickers were all intact inside in my one not all was there. Even my later copy version sells for hundred pounds that's about 150 with your taxes US. That album was in the US billboard album charts and the British album charts for forty years and stayed in the top one hundred for that many years and dropped to the top two hundred albums charts I don't know about it now with downloads and CDs. Just something else I thought of, two members are dead now the keyboard player Wright and the old lead singer Sid a few years ago who left or maybe kicked out because of drugs useage. Their early stuff with Sid wasn't like this you been playing, it was radical for the sixties when that lot played clubs with oil bubble and flashing lighting and weird sounds and songs like Arnold lane, the bicycle song or Emily or see Emily play I think it was called. Well as we would say, "the Floyd" never used the pink bit, it was always the Floyd Love mom

[@513morris]

Dude, that jacket is 🔥. Reminds me of the old nuggets uni.

[@ChewableDrake]

Singers are Sam Brown ( she was a performer in her own right, she got a disease on her larynix a few years ago and lost the ability to sing)Claudia Fontaine (she died about 10 years ago) and Durga McBroon,

[@curtjameshatmaker5691]

I love Clare, Durga, Claudia, etc. But dammmmn Sam and her "roar" and the rest of her vocal performance gets me every. fucking. time.

[@philshorten3221]

"if you can hear this whisper you are dying"

[@bethking7348]

"Pulse" or "The Dark Side of the Moon" ❤

[@ronaldoberne4221]

This is more common to Scaat which is from jazz back in the 40s, the singer are the background singer give a special song

[@vaughanwilliamson5401]

Hi matey the first singer is Sam brown, Jo brown daughter he's a British singer from the 60s 70s and the last singer had a song called dancing in the rain I can't remember her name you're going to love rock music from led zeppelin to acdc bro

[@kimberlyrineer6822]

Bra, you could do stand up. I'm crying, might be the whiskey.

[@wayneallen67]

Give the studio version a listen, it's even better.

[@luckyirvin]

hang on she is coming on

[@boosuedon]

Are those "Blackstone Cherry" cigars you are smoking? I LOVED THOSE THINGS!!!

[@195511SM]

Not sure on the spelling....but the first lady singing is Sam Brown....the second was Claudia Fontaine & the third was Durga McBroom.

[@harvestmoon747]

I am sure I am not the first or even the 99th person to say this. But listen to Dark Side of the Moon from beginning to end, without interruption. That is how it is supposed to be played, the songs aren't really divided. Same with Wish You Were Here.

[@ami3627]

I _was_ hesitating to subscribe, but hell, if you're my momma's brother's baby momma's son...then we _FAMILY_ ! Whassup cuz...I'm in.👻

[@danwebb1756]

You gotta listen to Dark Side of the Moon front to back. Just. press. Play.

[@someguy-k2h]

Dats what I'm talkn bout. You are so entertaining. The music was great, but you are the star in this show. I've been addicted to Floyd since I was 12 and heard Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl back in '80. Every album is a concert, musically and an opera lyrically. It's a story that needs to start at the beginning and played to the end. I don't listen to their "songs", I listen to their albums. You keep up the crazy and I'll keep likin and subscribing.

[@nanghelutamx2]

Great shouting

[@stuartgrier5605]

Before doing a live concert reaction,i would advise you listen to the album - "Dark Side of the Moon" for the original.

[@80sOGRE]

I love how the lights around the circle kind of look like an eyeball, near the end i mean.

[@martinspurgeon]

First, Your Awesome. You need to hear the whole album and just chill. I've seen them in concert twice. The absolute best concerts.

[@wesalker3479]

Another song with no words, sorta. . . . . "Rubber Biscuit" by The Blues Brothers. Cool, short, jazzy banger.

[@kevinkeane3662]

Studio version!!!!

[@philshorten3221]

Asking... A Pink Floyd song better that Great Gig ?.... Well that's one way to break the Internet.... There's nothing "better" just every other track Pink Floyd have recorded. Check out... Shine on You Crazy Diamond (1-5) Or "Echoes" (Part 1) live at Pompeii 1972

[@kevincollins6302]

WATCH THE ENTIRE CONCERT (Pulse, 1994) AND POST IT

[@BrianRathboneFantasyAuthor]

Seconded

[@reality1958]

Wish you did the original studio version

[@ducman1016]

You should listen to the studio version. It’s way better than the live version. Good video but that jacket is fkg 🔥🔥🔥

[@MrLightningBear]

🙏❤

[@sailinbob11]

Child in Time by Deep Purple

[@georgesams4936]

Sam Brown is the blond vocal

[@the54thfloor47]

❤🙏

[@johnottawa8174]

Welcome to Pink Floyd. What took you so long?

[@terriwhite6733]

Sam Brown, honey. Get those headphones right. You're in church now!!!

[@markb3186]

ALWAYS listen to the original studio recording masterpiece sessions of any legendary artist of the classic progressive rock era IT MAKES NO SENSE TO NOT LISTEN TO THE EXACT REASON why it became part of peoples souls otherwise you ruin your virgin listen and you are hearing some version always different if you want to understand HEAR EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE MEANT TO LIKE WE ALL DID not some live different version years later!!

[@SaladVonBaco]

Live versions of the song are nice but the original studio version can't be topped in my opinion.

[@tpwinkler64]

Mother Vera Are as good

[@anabanana7599]

Her solo is better on the album imho

[@elenasalchak8550]

Do reaction to singer a Angelina Jordan song "I Put a Spell on You".p

[@aryansigrid]

This is not Opera. 😁

[@thomasruwart1722]

Opera would be great if it weren't for all the singing...

[@the54thfloor47]

There is no words, but… their not necessary are they?

[@davidhill500]

GDAY …B.B.E…From Australia…….Mate..when music becomes a bore for you…try reacting to these…” WHAT IS AFL “..or “ A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL “….or TOP 50 MARKS OF THE AFL……Good luck NEWBIES

[@johnthompson6374]

Nope, it took three people here to score an 8 out of 10 when compared to the original masterpiece created and performed by Clare Torry. Live reaction video is way to dangerous on YT, I suggest doing it in two videos. Side A and Side B You want to be challenged? Take the time (on average 2hr. 8min.) to read the short book Animal Farm before you dive into Pink Floyds album Animals or at least read the very short description of Animal Farm on Wikipedia. Peace/JT

[@sinnik98]

Nope. Nope. Nope. Fake.

[@paulinesoares3594]

Please listen to the album version. These 3 ladies don’t do it justice. It’s 1 lady singing on the album and much better.

[@joannparker1977]

Clare Tory, the first one- the blonde is the original. You ought to look up the strange story about how she came to perform this on the original album. She is just something else.

[@michaelcurtis9760]

No offence meant, but your idea of music is pretty obviously restricted to your own genre. When you have had an album in the charts for around 19 consecutive years as was Dark Side of the Moon from which this track is taken, then I might have a bit more respect for your opinion. I also have to wonder a little bit how someone (presumably involved in the music industry) can have so little knowlledge of its history. Sorry, but you put your opinions out there and these are mine.

[@billparlier554]

Yodeling and bluegrass together are redneck Opera. One of the reasons I love Upchurch he mixes all that s*** together and makes great music.
