My goodness...just listen to that classy bass...one hell of a bass player that guy, with galley and cane, a bow to him. I don't care what everyone says about him.
This version is enough to move you tears, rage, an epihpany,, and finally peace. This isn't my favorite album musically by Floyd, but if you're wanting that melancholy, Waters-y take on love and the cost of it, this is the album for you.
Absolutely one of the finest instrumentals by Pink Floyd. I remember I listened to a bootleg of a conncert where Rick was playing some badass Hammond organ passages during GGITS. Does anyone know which concert it was?
Good chance the hammond was actually dave. As far as i know dave played the Hammond parts of GGITS live, as he does here. As a matter of fact dave played a lot of Hammond parts in The Wall. He also played a lot of bass in the Floyd records. The more technical bass parts is all Dave!
Claire Torre did the album version in a single take. I always thought that the singer _must be black_; I mean, who could have the pipes to lay this aria down? But Torre is actually white - nobody after her did it as good, and nobody probably will.
