One of the greatest vocal performances ever - what a way to start the day 🙂. Making my day as always, you guys rock - peace and love from Canada! ☮
Appreciate you a lot🙏🤎
This is the musical expression of death and the 7 stages we experience, from fear thru acceptence . Claire Torry's vocals are incredible.
Like most reactors, they just did NOT get it !!!
I think it’s even foolish to pretend to listen to a record and “understand” it ... OK for ballads and elementary lyrics, but P.F.’s lyrics, and all their concept albums, should be “studiated first” as we did at the time on specialized magazines while waiting for LPs to arrive “in the province”.
@@al6491 I didn't get the meaning for49 years lol. I just enjoyed the emotion in her voice and the songs vibe.
I met David Gilmour back stage at a concert in California 1984. I asked him about the meaning - reason for “Great Gig In The Sky”…. David’s answer was something like…. .I was asked if Pink Floyd would ever do a song about Religion like some others have… so I said, You are referring to the great gig in the sky they call “God“. What words could be used to describe all the pain and suffering caused by religious beliefs. All the crying and wailing from mothers who lost their husbands or sons in a war fought over religious differences. The only vocals should be just the sound of a mothers crying with pain and suffering. That’s the true intentions of the song. We didn’t want to make that public so as to avoid any religious boycott like what happened to the Beatles after Lennon made his comment about Jesus. The speaking heard at the beginning was recorded at Apple records prior to the recording of the song. Roger Waters placed a recorder at the door asking anyone who walked by to answer some questions into the microphone. The janitor stopped and recorded his answer to the question….”Are You Afraid Of Dying”?. It was decided to add the recording to the start of “Great Gig In The Sky”. It leads people to believe the song is about dying, but that is actually not the case. The Great Gig In The Sky…is GOD … The incredible vocals from Clare Torry happened when she did not know what they wanted. David Gilmour told her to pretend her voice is a Saxophone like on other songs on the album, no words, just tones. Results are legendary.

Is this your personal experience or have you reported theth of others?
I have read a lot about this LP and, for example, I know that P.F. at the time they did so many concerts, and traveled so much, that they could only produce new pieces in those moments. Then they tried them on while they were setting up the equipment for the show (the video for "Biding My Time" is historic) and finally they tested them with the public by performing it at random as a corollary to the promotional tour they were conducting.
For example: during the Atom Heart Mother tour, in June 71 in Italy, I listened to Echoes when it was still called _The Son of Nothing_ ,it had different lyrics, no beginning and ending as after recorded in Meddle (lasts 16 minutes in the bootleg).
Returning to _The Great Gig in the Sky_ the first draft was made in 72 with the text, recited by Nick, which was then recovered in '77 in the middle of Sheep. The title was “The Religion Song” and back then it was really set as a satire on religions… and that text is really lashing on the theme even in Animals! The instrumentation was also different and guitar based.
Later the song was rearranged returning to the piano on which Rick had invented the melody. With the title of "The Mortality Sequence" Roger played with other lyrics without ever being satisfied. However, he had already clear the theme and the place in which he wanted it in the "concept" that he was imagining for DSOTM.
(I apologize for my english)
Clare Torry came along for the day, sang this, received standard backing singer fee of £30 and went home. Later she received millions as she was recognised as a co-writer having ad-libbed the vocals on the day.
They didn't even inform her of their use of her vocals. She found out looking at the album in a record shop. I wonder if she used some of her £30 to buy the album?
Elle a fait deux prises et improvisé. C'était en décembre 1972. Elle a touché 500 £ pour la journée d'enregistrement...
A partir de 2004, suite à un arrangement, Rick Wright lui céda 50 % des droits sur la chanson, en tant que co-auteur.
During her lunch break. In 2 takes
Y’all need to listen to this entire album in its entirety, that’s how it was designed. The songs flow into each other and weave a gorgeous tapestry of life together, it’s the only way to get the full Floyd effect as intended! Such perfection.
Whenever you give this suggestion it would be useful to add links to listen to a version that does not destroy, with sobs, the adorable transitions that characterize this LP.

@@Enrico.Sbardolini Thank you!
This lady was channelling something here, because there is a lot behind those vocals. She was given very little guidance at all, and after 2 and a half takes stopped, feeling she had given it her best already. A genius musical composition, a genius performance from Claire, and a genius production to execute it exactly as it was on the album.
It’s about dealing with the different emotions of knowing that you are dying and finally excepting it
This is about the dying process. This song was exactly how I felt watching my mom pass away. The stages of death a person goes through.
Lisa I know exactly what you felt..I watched my mom die too and this song says it all...sorry for your loss💜

@@AliasMark69 very interesting. Thank you
@@starfire6122 thank you so much
This is my jam, i used to smoke weed late at night and listen to the whole album. Once in a lifetime band ❤
Still do, on occasion! #peace
I mean I still do, but I used to too.
I suggest you start doing that again..
So 🔥🔥🔥 & smooth!
@@shannonbrigante5764 There's no need to smoke weed. Any smoke is bad for your lungs.
Definitely need to know this immediately follows "Time" on the album.
Possibly the most in depth dive into the emotions surrounding Death you will ever hear.
"If you can hear this whisper you are dying"
Have to listen carefully but that's about 3 / 4 of the way through the song.
Pink Floyd is da sh*t! Saw them in concert in the early 90's. Blew my mind.
I love watching people first getting into Pink Floyd. It speaks to the ever-present power of time and space freezing into a single microcosm and that microcosm is a band called Pink Floyd that will live on into on-going generations long after they are gone.
Best comment in the whole damn thread.
You mentioned that this song “didn’t sound like Pink Floyd,” which is a testament to their versatility.
There are some amazing live versions where three different singers tackle the female vocalist portion of this song.
These are the sounds your soul makes when you realize you're about to die. Then comes the anger then comes the acceptance and then the final outro
As great as they are they still don't hold a candle to the studio version where Clare Torrey channeled something otherworldly
For many it’s a matter of “imprinting”. This piece is so powerful that the first listening is hardly matched by a second “different” ... even if undoubtedly the original version, the result of a skilled mix in the studio ..., is the “better square” in giving a very precise meaning to the phases of the end of life.
Those who had the opportunity to listen to the original then do not have these problems.
saw this live,pink floyd showing off their back up singers and the ladies have great voices indeed.
What a way to convey the 5 stages of grief (imo at least) namely Anger, Denial, Bargaining, Depression and finally, Acceptance without the use of actual words. Listen to it again and then try to incorporate these emotions in her vocals to enjoy the song even more.
Pink Floyd are deeper than the Mariana trench, cooler than an iceberg in a river of liquid nitrogen, smoother than a quantum stabilized atom mirror and more zen than 1,000 Buddhist monasteries. Glad you enjoyed this track, so chill.
I like your synthetic apology for the greatness of Pink Floyd ... maybe sometimes I’ll quote you 😉
Great tune to wake up to.Clare Torry got the pipes ! Thanks for this one guys...
This whole album a masterpiece u hit the j and have some good ole beers 2 this with 🍄 🍄 🍄 set the coarse for a ride 2 1973 mane make sure u put on your seatbelt safty first have a great day homies. Clare Torry the vocals 2 Richard Wright on paino classic.
This song was recorded in 1 take. She apologized For the way she’s sang And the band said don’t apologize it was perfect
No, 2 ½ takes…the band went with mostly her 2nd. Look up her interview on YT where she explains the process. ✌🏼
This is all about death - the raw pain, the fear and hurt, leading to acceptance and finally serenity. The spoken parts aren't from band members - the intro part is a man talking about not being afraid of dying, anytime will do, we all have to go sometimes - to me he doesn't sound as though he really believes all that he says. The much quieter female voice in the middle of track simply says "I never said I was frightened of dying".
I met David Gilmour back stage at a concert in California 1984. I asked him about the meaning - reason for “Great Gig In The Sky”….

As soon as I heard Pink Floyd for the first time all those years ago, I knew for sure they would be unique and always amongst the greats of rock and roll. No one like them ever.
I heard this album when I was 12, in '74, because I had an older brother. I Cried when I first heard this Incredible Vocal. Then I cried again while the sax solo played in "Us And Them".
It was quite a unique experience back then, when A Masterpiece like this Album is thrust upon you at 12. Then Yes, and Zep, and Steely Dan. I was quickly spoiled.
The Great Gig in the Sky...the roller coaster of death, from anger, fear, acceptance, and peace...no words required. Absolutely brilliant.
As I read some of the comments written here, it reminds me of all the sorrow and pain we suffer from our births until our death. It's raw beauty and the way in which it touches the very soul never fails to bring me to tears.
The highlight of the album for me. Sorry Dave, the solo in Time is one your finest, but this lady you hired just stole the whole show. To my ears anyway.
Reckless- You got it right. This is a pure vocalization of the stages of grief. It is near the end of the album. The comments will give you the amazing background to this piece.
I love Coming Back to Life; live at Pulse.........and Hey, You, WIsh You Were Here.....Time
You should check out the live version from Pulse. It's a different lady (three of them actually) as Claire Torre was a hired studio musician, but it's still powerful and beautiful. Also the version from Delicate Sound of Thunder, but Pulse is better.
It is usual for Pink Floyd to use three ladies to sing this live, as it is very difficult indeed to find someone with the range and power of Clare, especially live. Check out Amy Smith with the Australian Pink Floyd Show. One female, one take, live, and she absolutely NAILS it. The best performance of this track other than the studio version from Clare Torry, EVER. Better than Pulse. You can thank me later.

The Pulse version takes a back seat to the original , the three girls cant hit the notes like Clare Torry did , i was at the Pulse gig and it was fantastic , Gilmore's solo in Comfortably Numb was the highlight .
It adds a lot to see them play this (the Pulse show), and the singers are very good. I prefer this to the original which is obviously very good to start. The video is very well done.
next one from Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away ( live to the Delicate sound of Thunder concert 1988 ) 😎👍
I used to go to sleep to this album all the time! Made for some serious dreams.. We would get super stoned & listen to this all nite.. you can also sync up this album to the movie Wizard of Oz, it works & it’s pretty trippy
The chick that sang it said that she just showed up for a studio session and they said let it loose and she did. She said she didn't even know she was on the album till she saw it in a store front, bought it, and saw her name in the credits and the rest is history. That must have been a cool day, the day you went down in rock history, oh so sweet.
Pink Floyd feels like a gift
Y’all really need to check out ‘Echoes’ live from Pompei, I heard you say y’all liked the longer Pink Floyd videos a while back on another one of their videos. Check out part 1 first, it was filmed at an ancient Roman amphitheater and is amazing, including all members of the band
You nailed it!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️
Thank you!!
My favorite Pink Floyd song.
I grew up with pink Floyd,and believe me this is pure pink Floyd
My favorite band ever 💕
Dark Side of the Moon, best album ever
From one interview, I heard the three verses represent birth, life, and death, and the emotive melody of each.
Now you have reacted to this,when you get a minute, play it again with eyes closed and don't worry about the world.
I watched an interview with David Gilmore about the day they recorded this. Clare Torrey showed up with curlers in her hair and then asked what they wanted her to do. Gilmour said what he wanted, she went to the mike and belted this vocal masterpiece out. He said he was just stunned,then she asked if that would do....lol
Clare Torry what a gem and a fabulous voice!
Anger then acceptance
Try Pink floyd "On the turning away " live remastered 2019 .
YEAH, JUST LIKE HEAVEN, SPIRITUAL! :) CLAIRE TORRY :) WHATTAAAA GREAT VOICE SHE HAD
I like when young people get into old songs like Floyd
The intensity is unmatched....
The entire side of the album is a suite of songs through life's stages from birth to death. Gig is accepting the inevitable and then death itself
You need to read into the making of this Classic. And how she came to sing it, Etc. Great storyline to this song!
This song frightened our children when they were young. Now it's one of their favorites.
bean bag chair and some headphones the way we use to listen to this and just melt!
I grew up in the 1960s and 70s...... The Dark side of the moon.....came out in 1973 ..I consider it the tied for 1st with SGT Pepper- Beatles as the greatest rock album of the entire rock era....1955 thru 2022.
I see you fighting to keep your eyes open. Pink Floyd does that. It's the best way to listen to them.
I am not frightened of dying, you know
Any time will do, I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime
I never said I was frightened of dying
"The Great Gig in the Sky" is the fifth track on The Dark Side of the Moon, a 1973 album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. The song features music by keyboard player Richard Wright and wordless vocals by session singer Clare Torry. It is one of only three Pink Floyd songs to feature vocals from an outside artist. It was released as a digital single in February 2023 to promote The Dark Side of the Moon 50th Anniversary box set.
BINGO!!! you gotta feel it.
Pink Floyd is ment to be felt, heard absorbed…. Lovelovelove ❤️🌸✌🏻
Drink it in guys..........then pick a quiet time, turn all your devices off, and listen to the whole album with headphones on...... simply the best album of all time.
This crushed me the first time I heard this, but then again, I'm weak...
Dark side of the has to savored in his totality is a sequence of feelings and a homanage to Sid Barrett one of the creators of Pink Floyd who got crazy and went to a mad house. That is the title the Dark Side of the Moon when you go there is no return.
You'll probably hear this over and over again from people: 'Your gotta listen to the whole record.' This song is just one piece of the whole puzzle.
This song gives me the chills every single time, it's so beautiful yet so eerie and just like leaving your body towards the next dimension. Now you should explore the albums Animals and Meddle. The songs Dogs and Echoes in particular. Animals is an album you should listen from start to finish though, like most Pink Floyd but you make your selection. Peace!
Please try to check out Pink Floyd performing SORROW live at the Pulse Concert (1994).
Through my own personal experience right now, I can hear a mother dying from cancer. The reason I interpret this song in that way is because I'm about to lose my mother from breast cancer. She was just released from the hospital and put on hospice, so she could die at home. It's hard to communicate with her because she is on morphine. I still can hear her pain, even though she's heavily medicated. The female singer in this song sounds like she is experiencing pain. That's what I get from this song.
Praying for you & your mom! 🙏
On the "Dark Side of the Moon" album, this song comes immediately after "Time". To get the full impact & meaning you really need to listen to these 2 songs in order. "Time" ends with the "tolling of the iron bell" (signaling a funeral service), giving context to the softly spoken words about not being afraid of dying. Then the vocalist expresses, without words, the emotions of a dying person whose soul is leaving this world.
I have the album on wax so pleasant to listen to it in full.
A song that can draw out emotions without saying a word.
Iam sure it has been explained but here it is one more time.
Rick Wright wrote this song, which is about life, gradually descending into death. Hence the angrier and more intense first half with a dying person refusing to "go gently into that good night."The second half is gentler, as the dying person gives into the inevitable and fades away. One if the pressure that Rick dealt with was the fear of dying because of all the traveling they were having to do. Here is his actual words. Wright explained, For me, one of the pressures of being in the band was this constant fear of dying because of all the traveling we were doing in planes and on the motorways in America and in Europe."
Chills
My baby son has been a fan since he was 15. He's. 42 now. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💕💕💕💕💕. I sure the hell don't get this one 🤯🤯🤯
now, the Pulse version! please!
Check out The pulse concert. Also Money .. 🤔The whole Pulse concert is 💥💥💥💥💥✌🏼❤️🇺🇦
Do Empire Of The Sun "Way To Go"
"We Are The People" "High and Low"
(the videos)
Claire Torrys voice is amazing …. The stages of pain thru death I felt it all loosing my baby boy ….. harder to know he used to play Pink Floyd on the guitar sitting in his room and on stage at local shows
Lisa, I am so sorry for you loss. I too am a member of the worst club in the world. My James was also a Pink Floyd fan.
joint & glass of wine relax.
I'm sure it will have been said before, but this tune is very spiritual. It's the journey from life to death, with rebellion being replaced by acceptance and, finally, tranquillity. A beautiful song from a stunning album.
If you ever get to listen to the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album you truly will experience a "Masterpiece" !👍🙂
one singer🤩
Nobody comes home at the end of a day and says to themselves “oh, I think I’ll listen to Great Gig In The Sky”. But i can tell you, if you’ve had a crappy day, you might just come home and put on a extended Pink Floyd playlist and drink the night away without lights on laying on the couch or settee. This song would have to be one of those songs…
Yes you’re thinking about it too much. Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon, you sit back relax and enjoy, it’s easy.
this is jazz .. Pink Floyd style ... the singer is actually a studio singer .. pretty amazing stuff .. in the same vein as Comfortably Numb .. you gotta feel it . .good way of saying it ..
Great song off of an amazing album. You guys should also check out some stuff off of another amazing PF album, Animals. I'd recommend the song, Dogs.
Do Fu-Schnickens ft Shaq "What's
Up Doc? Can We Rock" (the video)
PINK FLOYD, "GREAT GIG IN THE SKY". Following Time, the line that gives you the continuation. "Shorter of bteath, One Day Closer to Death" in Great GIG. Is final moments prior too Dying. The frustration of "I can't believe my life's over. Her sound of screaming before she gives in too the reality. Then quietly echoing into the unknown of complete silence.
this song is life, this song is death, this song is 100% Pink Floyd.........if this song doesn't hit you at a soul level you are already dead and gone
Try “great gig in the sky” live (Delicate Sound of Thunder)
At exactly 5:22 a female voice whispers "if your listening to this record you're dying" or "if you hear this whisper you're dying" Either way I first heard the whisper Easter Egg when i first got my license and was driving down the road with this album cranked!! LOve it!! Fun Reaction!!
don't forget that Dark Side Of The Moon was the best-selling album of all time before thriller and ranked at the blboard for 18 years without interruption and no one has ever done that
Try Emerson Lake and Palmer live Montreux jazz festival 1997 Tarkus/Pictures at an Exhibition 💥💥💥✌🏼❤️🇺🇦
You can't really appreciate this song alone on its own. It's a continuation of the song TIME that precedes it. It's really best to listen to each side of the album in one listen.
You definitely should have done this song from the pulse concert... the female singers each have their own splo... again like comfortably numb the pulse version blows the studio album out of the water
It may not have sounded like Pink Floyd, but it gave you the Pink Floyd experience.
La mejor banda de Rock de la historia ☮️
Y'all should have reacted to the video so you could see those wonderful female vocalists:-)
This version was done in the studio by one white woman! Soul is in every color! The live version with more than one female singer is awesome as well!
the journey after physical life
🤘🏻👽
If you listen hard at 5 minutes and 23 seconds you can hear who said I was afraid of dying
Its the second half of a piece of music first part it Time Time/great gig in the sky next time you give is a wee listen to Better just to blast out the windows with the whole album
A perfect example of why people are really shorting themselves if they don't listen to this album in its entirety in one sitting.
About time:)
👋🏻♥️
