Sam, Claudia and Durga are brilliant in this version but for me Clare Torry on the album is another level
It is an amazing version!
Thanks for watching!
You can't beat Torry's version, but Ola Bienkowska gets the second place.
Give me these 3 girls all day, such beauty in voice and vision!
Sam Brown is amazing, her voice is unique
love it. All professionals, each of them respecting and enjoying each other as they perform excellent music together
Had only hear Clare Torry's studio version and it was amazing and I thought untouchable. Then Sam Brown sang it here and blew me away again.
I met David Gilmour in 1984 back stage at a concert in Hollywood Calif. He gave me a signed album that I have in my music room. We talked for 22 minutes. I called him…“The Master Of The Stratocaster” He smiled. I asked if I could shake both his hands that make such great guitar solos, he smiled bigger and said “Sure” and shook both hands at the same time, making a cross between us, I smiled HUGE. I asked him to describe his technique of playing guitar, he replied… “I strike a note, bend it, shake it and then release it”…. Yes, he does that quite well, better than any other guitarist I know
Nice one
Joe Brown's little girl killing it there.
Any version of this song is special. The talent is unbelievable! Always a highlight of the show.🌙🌘🌗🌑
Agreed!
Thanks for watching!

The three 'verses' Anger, sorrow & acceptance of mourning a loss. BTW, despite the salty comments, anybody that says that this live version sucks must be tone deaf.
Each to their own I guess. Just wasn't expecting it to be such a contentious choice!
Thanks for watching!
I love that the original and the performance versions (both Pulse and The Delicate Sound of Thunder versions) are opportunities for the vocalists to offer variations on the theme (like jazz, right?). Still, Clare Torry's album-track is indelibly etched into my mind as the standard. Nevertheless, I especially remember Durga McBroom's "The Great Gig in the Sky" performance on The Delicate Sound of Thunder, and in a lot of ways the trio in that concert offered some of the best live Pink Floyd vocal moments, especially Margret Taylor's flourishes in the final solo of "On the Turning Away" (which elevates the song above the already-great album track). This does not diminish the also-excellent vocal moments in Pulse, though, "Time" being the best live vocals of that song to my mind. Anyway, my mind wanders, and I must break away from the saxaphonic (why not) reminiscence. Peace, you two!
Hi, yes, I had a hard time choosing, and actually I chose this one because it's the version I know the least (I've listened to DSOT way more over the years than Pulse), so it was fun for me to experience it again too.
Thanks for your continued support Michael!
Let us know what you think of the Roger Waters vid we just put up too.
Cheers
The original album version can’t be surpassed. On tour the singers have to hold back to preserve their voices.
It is a fantastic version, no doubt.
Thanks for watching
Great reaction. I have to agree with the comments below, as super impressive as the vocalists are, you can't beat Clare Torry's original performance. I look forward to you reacting to other selections from this superb live concert.👍
I think we can all agree that the original is the definitive version :)
If you are a fan of Clare Torry - check out our Roger Waters HOME vid, in which she features prominently.
Thanks for watching!
Not 1 to throw a dampener on this reaction but my mum is a room away and close to passing to the next stage of her being , I’ve always had tears with this track today I get to feel it up close and personal , but I’m still glad I heard this today
Wow - I don't know what to say.
All the best.
My heart goes out to you allan , a horrible thing to go through .
I am glad you could respond at a time like this.
Pulse baby!
remember that Floyd had to hire 3 singers to replace ONE.. Claire had just retired after 19 years of doing this AMAZING
Yea, I'm using that word saxophonic, somehow, somewhere. Don't know what the circumstance might be, but, too good to pass up.
Ha - let us know how you go! :)
Oh, Sam Brown, long time since i listened to her the last time.
This was maybe her most famous song : Sam Brown - Stop
czcams.com/video/muDZD3wgoHI/video.html
and here the maestro also plays guitar : Sam Brown - This Feeling
czcams.com/video/JSOj7iCMd2Y/video.html
Thanks for those - hadn't heard This Feeling before!
In the UK, when she first started out she was known as the daughter of Joe Brown, who was pretty big there in the 60s and 70s

You should definitely watch the entire gig just for your own satisfaction. It's amazing &, Will probably reduce you to tears. Wotta band
It is indeed!
Thanks for watching!
I have always thought Rich Wrights work on this version is outstanding - especially the outro.....
Yep - me too!
Thanks for watching!
This was all about Clare Torry improvising with Rick Wright in the studio - still the definitive version IMHO
It's a great version - watching this space.....
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, anguish and despair 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 couldn't tell Clare so she wouldn't say anything to the media. 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.
Wow - never knew that! Thanks.
But I thought all the voices were from interviews with the roadies and crew.
Thanks for watching!
That guitar David is playing is a Steel Lap Guitar and he has it mounted on a stand so he can sit and play.
This song was used in an advert for headache tablets years ago, Sure it was panadol, Anyhow the advert implied the song gave you a headache. David gilmour said theres no way in hell he would have given them permission to use it, But as richard wright wrote it it was his decision
I never knew that - thanks!
And thanks for watching.
Cheers
It's interesting to contrast the singer's choices on this tour versus the Roger Waters version that's also very popular. In each case, the approach by the production is slightly different, but it's the little changes between each versions individual singers that really helps a person understand what 'finding your voice' means.
Yes, especially the recent Us & Them tour. I didn't really like their version, but appreciate that they went for something a bit different.
@@RDMusicExchange It must be weird to write hits and then be the same genius that created the hit, yet it's success means you're a bit of a slave to constantly replaying it, rather than using your genius to create something new.
I like how that Al Pacino movie 'Danny Collins' addresses where the value in creation and playing comes from.
You need to Listen to the origional Clare Torey this represents the Reality of Death, the Anger & the Fight against, & the Acceptance & Surrender!!
David was playing a lap steel guitar!
"Unnecessary Close Cameraworks". It seems more interested in others bannal things than in the great voices of this real artists.
All the different versions of this song always bring such a wave of emotions over me, tonight is the first time it brought tears to my eyes. My dad passed away just yesterday and from everything I know of the song it is about dying and the torment of the soul. It is still a beautiful song, thank you...
Oh wow - I'm so sorry for your loss.
Hope hearing the song helped in some way.
All the best.
Sorry about your dad Chris.
@@RDMusicExchange It truly did... Dad was a hard case Vietnam vet who spent the last 20 years or so fighting the vortex that is Agent Orange. The anguish in the singing has to be what he was was feeling all those years.
@@jeffschielka7845 Thank you Jeff. We knew this day could happen at any time after two battles with cancer, a triple bypass v-fib heart attack and two strokes. What made it hard was that he was feeling "normal" and 10 hours later he had passed.
@@Wolverines77 I lost my sister in July. Complications from diabetes. She was 64. Had type 1 since age 5. This was very sudden and shocking. God bless to you and your family.🙏
The Delicate Sound of Thunder Is The Best versión (to me of course )
That is a good version too.
Thanks for watching!
THE version to hear/watch is by Brit Floyd's Angela Cervantes (now retired from the band) - she displays amazing vocal range and comes closest to duplicating the original performance by Clare Tory.
I've not heard of that version, but will check it out.
Thanks for watching!
great singer but this version is my favourite with ola bienkowska czcams.com/video/CVWHItGgrdE/video.html
Rachel is gorgeous
Yes. Yes she is :)
The circle represents the Moon (Dark Side of the Moon)
Interesting - I never made that connection - thanks!
I seen you checked out (jinjer - judgment and punishment) you seem pretty impressed what you could do with her voice. I don't know how heavy you would want to go, but if you want to see impressive things I would check out. (Lorna shore to the hellfire, live one take version).
Ok, cheers!
Should ALWAYS START With the Album Track Clair Torry Nailed It
The original Clare Torry recording isn't so much a version as the original creation of that piece. I think they did a few takes on it but ended up using her first one because it was just fucking genius as it was totally improvised and she was really in the zone. Everyone who's performed it since has given it their own twist and I think Sam and Durga knocked it out of the park in this version. I think Sam actually damaged her voice doing this song and had to stop singing for a while.
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan?
The band is call "Lovebites"
They all The Beautiful Queens heavy metal band right now in the earth. They are really really Genius and World class musicians. Phenomenal.
And they have a lot diehard fans like me😁. The fans called Wolfpack.
The song is "Set the world on fire" from they live concert.
Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Thank you
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
The whole stage is one giant eye.
Interesting!
Like Velvet Indeed
Thanks for watching!
If you don't know,this song is supposed to represent all the stages of death.
Thanks!
And thanks for watching!
Greeting to both of you ;) Today, I would love to suggest a brand new song entitled "Here Comes The Storm", from the French Canadian Black Metal project named "Obscurcis Romancia". Thank you very much and have a nice day :)
Thanks for the suggestion Dan, we'll check it out.
Thanks for watching!
Its about dying ........ Obviously!!
Might be worth pointing out the context of the piece in that it relates to death.
Sure, could do. But it's also implied in the title.
Thanks for watching.
New Subs 😎👍 Next one from Pink Floyd - Coming back to life ( Live Pulse 1994 ) 😎👍
Thanks for the sub!
Cheers
@@RDMusicExchange 😎👍
"Pedal Steel Guitar"
Yes - thanks! Mind went blank! 😁
@@RDMusicExchange Sokay, I was born that way so no effort!.. :)
AKA a lap steel
@@zinkzoyd I think that was what I was reaching for!
version studio con Claire Torry no comparision.
Dogs of war Not dogs you did that one and its amazing But Dogs of war is a side of Pink Floyd you never hear..Its very dark give it a try
Thanks mate!
Sam Brown and the Ladies smoked Clare Torry. They had one take. One opportunity to deliver. This is LIVE! No remastering just live performance. No sound engineer to hide behind. I hear people blather on about Claire Torry. Where was she? Why wasn't she on this tour? How much time and effort did it take to remaster her performance. These 3 ladies killed it Live. The most remarkable thing about about this song is how Gilmour and the boys restrained themselves so the Ladies could have and hold the spotlight. Giving them the glory they deserve.
Sorry guys but as good as she is here the vocals on the original Clare Torry is even more superior bc she reaches octaves and intensities that are much more powerful & fluid! I hope you all caught that this is about life's final ascension towards the heavens. The Great Gig in the Sky.
Thanks for watching!
Shame you guys didn't chat about the spoken word intro or the almost hidden "if you can hear this whisper you are dying"
I was going to, but it would have probably involved pausing it and rewinding so that Rach could hear it (because as you know it's very subtle), and I didn't want to break the flow of the the track.
Thanks for watching though!
Well ............... THIS doesn't bring tears to my eyes or reach my soul like Clair did ............
I had NO idea a white girl could make me believe she was BLACK (for so long). ALL IN TWO TAKES. ALL FOR 35 Quid
I don't/DIDN'T really care WHO IT WAS ............. BUT certain people on the planet have reputations base on PERFORMANCE ............... nothing else...... thus my previous CONCLUSION.
NEVER looked into the story until later in life ................. FOOL ME ONCE.
Nice ............... BUT NOT CLAIR.
FIND YOUR OWN SONGS TO BE REMEBERED BY ..........................
She was amazing. Check out our Roger Waters "HOME" vid for more Claire - she does some amazing vocals on that track too!
Thanks for watching!
This should only be heard thru Claire's voice.
These ladies don't even come close.
Obviously the original is the best version, no question. But if Clare was the only one who should sing it many people (including myself) would never have had the joy of experiencing this song live, and that would be a shame.
If you are a fan of Clare Torry, check out our Roger Waters HOME vid in which she does some amazing vocals.
Cheers, and thanks for watching.
@R&D Music Exchange well, think that if you're introducing a classic to your channel and your friends, you should at least give them the best version of it, not a cover.
@@Trucker231610 Thanks for your thoughts. Not sure if it's a cover if it's by the band that wrote the song. Also, often I will play the album version of the tracks.
But as I mentioned to someone else, I get to choose which versions we watch, and I wanted to show Rach this version.
Also, just take a moment to reflect that you are getting into a debate about what version of a song you love someone is playing on a reaction channel. 🤷🏻♂️
@R&D Music Exchange First things first,Pink Floyd wrote the music Clair has credit for the Lyrics(Vocals).
And you started this debate all I did was state my opinion which I still stand by.
And you're right it's your channel and your choice and if it's posted on a public forum i have the right to state my opinion and my opinion is that you made the wrong choice.
I didn't comment to start a debate or argument just stated my opinion, it was your choice to defend yourself, So who's the idiot debating over a reaction?
@@Trucker231610 Have a lovely day
she doesnt sound in pain; she sounds happy. Not a good version at all
Thanks for watching.
That sucked ass. Do the studio version and people will sign on. Oh if ya do some ac/dc your sub # will jump a couple of thousands🤘
Thanks for your kind words. Have a lovely day
The song Great Gig in the Sky is about dying. The first part is the final fight for life until the lull, then acceptance of the inevitable. I couldn't watch this video until the end: happy goofy faces who have no idea what the song is about...
So because it's about death we can't enjoy it? Is that your point? Do we have to cry when we listen to it? We're not allow to be impressed by the vocals because it's about death? Whatever mate
@@RDMusicExchange Your reaction shows that you are not musically up to listening to songs like Great Gig in the Sky. It is not true that you are capable of enjoying this kind of music. Otherwise your reaction to this song would be different. Your reaction to Great Gig in the Sky is more appropriate to songs like Macarena....
@@begogaro8192 🤣🤣🤣🤣
See now I'm crying (crying laughing).
Thanks for pointing out what type of music I am and am not capable of enjoying. It's amazing that you know me better than I know myself. I must now question everything I have ever thought about every song. (including the Macarena).
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@RDMusicExchange It is true that I know characters like you better than you know yourself. It is because I am a psychiatrist by profession. Also I am a musician and I play in a band that is much more popular than Pink Floyd. Unlike me, you don't know anything about this kind of music. Instead of this music genre, you would be great at creating videos on country music...
Brit Floyd does a better version...
Brit Floyd does it better
Cory was better this one is trying to sing
L'album più bello della storia 💖
