I hear all of you, and I apologize for not picking the original version of this song. Much akin to what I did with Comfortably Numb (I heard it first on a Patreon playlist, then analyzed it after the fact), I will put the original "The Great Gig In The Sky" on my recording list featuring Claire Torry very soon, and will start the copyright clearing process. Please bear with me, as most times I don't know the best version of songs and always opt for live over studio recorded. In this case, I apologize profusely!

@TheEmirock1 Год назад

Do it again with the studio version please!!! Thanks for your videos

@shawnmurdock8059 Год назад

I dont thnik you need to apologize. There is the original singer, but in the various live shows the different singers loosely follow the original, but add some "flare" to the performances. I dont think there is a best version. The music just allows the vocalist to shine and the whole package just takes you away.

@nightworg Год назад

I wish you would do the original by Clare Torry. At least I hope you will listen to it some day.

@kellyslate7536 Год назад

Elizabeth, In my experience I've witnessed all sorts of people connect to this song on all sorts of levels. Lyric's come a close second in relation to the vocal expression of a human in an emotionally moving state singing! Vowels alone are perfect, in the right setting I'd listen to vowels a,e,i,o,u sung anyways arrangement. PK are Masters of what they do .

@dylancownie6697 Год назад

No need to apologize! I can understand why you would prefer the live versions for analysis, but I can promise that you will enjoy the original so much and it really embodies the idea of accepting death that Pink Floyd was going for with such incredible nuance! If you do make a new video for the original, I will give you massive credit. Much love!

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 passesdwithout us knowing it. This song is about the process of 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.

@RayPaganJr Год назад

I remember the first time hearing this. We played hooky from school and went to a friend’s house to smoke. He played the album and I was floored. I never heard anything like it. It was a time when I was into Yes, ELP, John Coltrane and Santana. Will turn 65 in a few weeks and I wonder where the time went.

@durgadiva Год назад

When I first did it on Delicate Sound Of Thunder with Rachel Fury and Machan Taylor, we stayed much closer to the original. On this version, Sam and Claudia really made it more their own. I’ve grown into my own interpretation as well. The section that Sam is singing is when you first learn that you’re dying and you’re raging at God. The second section that I sing is when you’re gripped with that deep sadness. The third section that Claudia sings is when you finally find acceptance (May she Rest In Peace). When Richard Wright knew that he was going to die, he actually set aside funds to fly me to his memorial service, because of anyone who’s ever sung this, he wanted me to sing it for him on that day. Thank you so much for the kind words.

I've become friends with Clare Torry in recent years, and even in her 70's her voice is just as incredible. She told me that she went to Abbey Road with her new boyfriend, not knowing or caring about who Pink Floyd were at the time. They didn't have a clue what they wanted, so she just let rip in what she described as a lust-fueled performance - kind of showing off to her boyfriend in the Control room. After the second take she attempted a third, but told them she couldn't do anything better, and within an hour she was having dinner out in London, and promptly forgot about the session until the album was on the shelves and doing rather well. She wouldn't tell me what the settlement was, but she's on good terms with them all and has some amazing first edition pressings given to her by EMI. She misses those exciting times when London was buzzing with new music and lots of session work, and she now lives alone in South West London having lost her husband a few years ago. She's a real fire cracker, says it how it is, and has a lot of cool stories.

@timspencer1 Год назад

I don't want to fanboy all over the place, but the work she did was just amazing. Not only are the vocals fantastic, but given what she was told, what she had to work with, it's astounding she was able to improvise such a wonderful performance on the spot. One of those historic moments when the right person is in the right place at the right time, inspiration hits, and a timeless thing of beauty is created. Many immensely talented women have performed this song many times, but I've never heard her performance equaled, let alone surpassed. She created a beautiful thing for the ages.

Absolutely. It’s sad the number of people here basically dumping on Sam Brown and the others. They had only one take in front of thousands at a live concert to get it spot on and they nailed it. Contrary to popular mythology, Clare Torry, as amazing as her studio performance on the original was, did not do it in one take. I’ve never heard a bad performance of this song by Pink Floyd live and I’m sure they wouldn’t tolerate one.

Actually I believe it's a pedal steel guitar and foot pedals are involved in the changing of the tuning while playing. A lap steel guitar is very similar as to how it's played with a slide while picking or strumming it, but it does not have the foot pedals. Larkin Poe uses a lap steel. Dwight Yoakam's band uses a lot of pedal steel guitar for that classic country sound. Jerry Garcia played pedal steel on the Crosby Stills and Nash song Teach Your Children.

@kevdmiller Год назад

Richard Wright played a crucial role in Pink Floyd that I think a lot of people don't realize. Gilmore had great soul, Waters was a great songwriter/story teller, but Wright was the one with the jazz chops that brought chordal sophistication that brought it to a higher level. Waters is quick to milk the same 3 chords(I, IV,V) for all he can get out of them. Richard weaved much more creative chords into the music, to give us interesting surprises.

Much respect to the ladies who performed here. The duality of this "great gig" is the honor of being asked to render Claire Torry's landmark performance, and the knowledge that whatever you do, no matter how great, will fall short.

Recollections vary, as one would expect after almost 50 years. Roger Waters said one take, David Gilmour said she sang it maybe half a dozen times. Clare Torry herself said she had a few tries that really weren't what the band was looking for, then she changed her approach, sang it twice right through for the tape, then stopped midway through the third take because she felt she had already done her best. (Watch Clare's account of it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mIW7xZSlZoM.html) Not wanting to get into an argument about who did it better, the studio environment allowed Clare more opportunity to work the emotions of surrender into the closing stages of the song. For me, the 1973 version will always be the "reference" version, by which all others will be judged.

Clare herself said in an interview that she she wasn’t sure what PF was looking for so she tried a bluesy/soleful style but they told her that wouldn’t work so she just winged it with the version we all know today.

@spgtenor Год назад

Obviously someone who lacks the musical ear recommended this version over the original. While she can analyze the change in vocal registers, which is unique (Clare used her chest register for all of the forte top notes) it does not capture the true nature of the song.

@jmonk77 Год назад

This is the "Pulse" concert version of GGITS. Sam had been singing the most difficult part for about 35 shows prior to the video version. The other version to consider is the "Delicate Sound of Thunder" footage from five years earlier. In that version, the most difficult part was sung by Rachel Fury. Again, the DTOS version is after several shows and while she hits every note, her voice is a bit thiner. I prefer the DTOS of any live version, but it is clear that Clare's original version invents and captures the full intent of that track.

@record541 Год назад

In my opinion, the original studio version is stellar. My next favorite is from the Delicate Sound of Thunder performance (there is a video here on YT). Rachel Fury and the other two ladies do an amazing performance of the song. BTW, if it hasn’t already been said. It’s a slide guitar that David is playing. Not a synthesizer of any kind.

@JakobeOG Год назад

The story behind the recording of this song always intrigued me. Torry came in, they told her what the song was to be about with no further instruction, and she went in and sang her heart out. She left without the band saying a word (as they were apparently speechless, for obvious reasons) and believed she botched it. Years later she finds out they used her take in the final release. Amazing song, amazing voice. I've heard it played live by numerous cover bands over the years and this 1 song always gets a standing ovation no matter who is singing it.

@Paul-jj5wy Год назад

Yeah, that was an interesting story. They really didn't know what they wanted from her initially. They told her to free form and she started out with some scooby-dooby-yeah-yeah stuff and finally Gilmour stepped up and pointed her more in the direction of what ended up being the final take.

Then later on when she starts the raspy vocals its the beginning of the death cycle. This song gives me tingles. It's amazing and moving.

Clare was paid around 60 dollars for this performance that went on to be the most prolific album in history. I believe she received a larger amount 30 years later. Amazing story

She won an unspecified monetary compensation plus subsequent albums gave her a writing credit for the song. She had to fight Floyd hard for that recognition and pay, which is to the band's discredit.

Sometime in the early 1980s, David Gilmour and Nick Mason had gone out to dinner, and ran into Claire Torry during the period when Claire Torry was suing Pink Floyd for royalties on this song. They talked, and eventually got around to talking about Torry being paid 50 British pounds for the performance. Gilmour and Mason hadn’t realized that she had never gotten a penny of royalties because all of the financial arrangements had been handled by their management group (con-men and swindlers). Gilmour asked Mason if he had a company chequebook with him. Mason said he did, and they made out a cheque, and both signed it (50,000 Britsh pounds). They also did the paperwork to get her royalties going forward. Claire Torry also (rightfully) sued Pink Floyd for writing/song composition credits, and won.

@@kostaskritsilas2681 David & Nick always remained grounded, and are the heart of The Floyd. They also made sure that Syd got every penny of royalties that he was owed.
