    The band gave the singer just a briefing on the meaning of the song. And ,other than some basic direction, was give free range to sing how she felt it.
    She was called in late at night and only had a couple of takes to get it right

      @@bartstarr100 - Claire Torry was paid 30 pounds for laying down a few takes (about an hour in the studio). Average household income in the UK at the time was about 100 pounds PER MONTH. In fact 30 pounds was an average rent for an apartment, so she probably earned her monthly rent with that one night's work.
      So she was well paid, and always credited for the vocals. She later stabbed Pink Floyd in the back by suing them for writing credits. In an out of court settlement, the band ended up giving her a writing credit and paying her an undisclosed sum of cash in exchange for her dropping the suit.
      Kinda scummy if you ask me. As a studio musician, she was paid more than a week's average wages for literally a couple hours of her time (and was credited). To come back after she retired, and suddenly demand more money was just a cash grab. If other studio musicians started doing that, then NOBODY would ever hire studio musicians.

      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. 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 … Clare 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.

      @@AliasMark69 If you believe, you meeting your god is all about death, you cannot separate the 2 from the minds of the religious, the critical thinkers that deny the existence of an invisible wizard in the sky, this song can only be about the loss here instead of moving to somewhere that does not exist. It had to have the two differing meanings or the none believers would have no reference. When the band gave their restricted prompts, death was the only criterion mentioned, suffering a death with no words, like a mother losing her child in a war. Clare states she doesn't know whether it was smiles from above or grins from below that gave her the direction her wailing took. to me this is the continuation of the Banshee's call for the lost soul. I think of it as the soul leaving the body, but resisting all the way.

    My first reaction: This is the song after "Time" on the 33 RPM Vinyl. You never lifted vinyl until it was done or you risked damaging the groves. So this was going to get listened to all of the way. After "Time" described midlife to death, this song completed the scene. Death itself with all of the rides along the way.
    After that, I recorded it to cassette. So I could listen to it frequently

    Clare H. Torry (born 29 November 1947) is a British singer, well known for writing and performing the wordless vocals on the song "The Great Gig in the Sky" by the group Pink Floyd on their 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. She also covered the Dolly Parton single "Love Is Like a Butterfly" for the opening titles of the BBC TV series Butterflies, which ran for four series between 1978 and 1983.

    The bands that recorded their albums simply hired vocalists, usually to sing backing vocals (it was of course convenient and also cheap). Clare Torry was employed at Abbey Road studios as a backing vocalist. Alan Parsons - the chief sound engineer - who had been involved in the recording of "The Dark Side of the Moon", suggested to the members of Pink Floyd that they hire Clare Torry for this particular track. In several interviews she admits how difficult it was to interpret the song without words. It wasn't until David Gilmour (guitarist and lead singer of PF) convinced her when he advised her to use her voice as just another musical instrument. Then Clare sang the song for the first time and left the studio. Her fee was the standard £30 (!). She was convinced that the song would not appear on the album after all. In 2004, she sued Pink Floyd and EMI for songwriting royalties because her contribution to "The Great Gig in the Sky" was a co-write with keyboardist Richard Wright. In 2005, an out-of-court settlement was reached in Clare Torry's favour, although the terms of the settlement were not disclosed. All releases after 2005 carry additional credit for "Vocal Track by Clare Torry" for "Great Gig in the Sky" in the booklet or liner notes.

    The main theme of this album being: “WHAT DRIVES PEOPLE CRAZY”, guides the interpretation of each song.
    (BREATHE); If the performance required in life can drive people crazy.
    (ON THE RUN); If the frantic rush of life can drive people crazy.
    (TIME); If the fleeting aspect of passing time can drive people crazy.
    (THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY); If the inevitable end, (death) can drive people crazy.
    (MONEY); If love, or lack of money can drive people crazy.
    (US AND THEM); If the differences in class of people or the power grant to them can drive people crazy.
    (ANY COLOR YOU LIKE); If the illusion of being able to choose can drive people crazy.
    (BRAIN DAMAGE); If the many rules of life (Keep off the grass), and all the previous points can drive people crazy.
    (ECLIPSE); Since our influence in this world comes down to what is within our reach,
    then even though the brightness of the sun may be eclipsed by the darkness of the moon.
    But anyway, (I'll see you on the dark side of the moon).

    This album stayed within the Billboard Top 100 Albums from March 1973 to June 1986, just think about that…..for 13 years. There is no comparison.

    One of the crew did the monologue. Roger waters passed around cards with questions on them to the crew..."what is your favorite color" "when was the last time you were violent"
    "Were you in the right?"
    And put the answers sprinkled throughout the album. When Claire Tory came in to do the vocals, they told her to "think about death and horror, and just sing". She did one take and was apparently very apologetic after the take, but the whole band was stunned....they went with the first, and only, take.

    Clare Torry was paid only £30 for her work, then sued for more after the album came out. She got an undisclosed sum. During the recording of the album, everyone who entered the studio was given a list of questions & their responses were recorded. Roadies, musicians & guests answers are heard throughout the album.
    First time I heard Great Gig was as a young teen in the late 70s at about 3am. I slept with the rock station playing every night & woke myself up when it came on. I was blown away! It's an amazing work of art.

  • @markkettlewell7441
    @markkettlewell7441 Před 2 lety

    One of the roadies did the speech. The vocals were done by Claire Torrey. She was a session musician that band drafted in on a whim after hearing her in another studio. She only did one take and they used it. It is about death. It starts with the anger, the denial, the bargaining and finally the acceptance of death.

    I remember when this first came out and nobody really knew who PF was and there were rumors that the vocals were done by a 15 y/o boy. People also assumed Pink was a member of the band. Lol. Pink Floyd is highly prized as a mode of transporting oneself to another place, governed only by the imagination of the listener.

    PINK FLOYD, "GREAT GIG IN THE SKY", Voice of Clare Torry. About her final moments of life. Going through all the emotions have dying and the unknown That is awaiting. After accepting the fate she quiet's and her voice turns into an echo and ends with final piano chord.

    Every time I hear this song, I feel like the singer is putting forth her/his (I just heard a man doing this and I couldn't believe he was hitting the notes) argument for eternal life/entrance to heaven and debating the prosecution for entrance and at the end accepting the judgement handed down- not completely denied but made aware of all the shortcomings in their life before final judgment is rendered and acquiesce to the wisdom of the gods/universe.

    There were 3 takes of the vocal recording. The first was rejected because words were scatted in. The first part of the song came from the third take and the last two parts came from the second take. The second take was like a vocal warmup for the first part recorded in the singer-aborted third take. The accompaniment for Clare was a recording of only a piano.

    A little trivia with this song. Clare Torry is the name of the woman that sings this non-vocal song, she was a very talented British singer in the 70s and 80s. The band hired her for this one track, and she tell the story about what they said to her before they did the recording.
    They asked her to sit in this room all alone for 15 or 20 minutes, and for her to think about, Life, Death, and HORROR for the whole time,... then do the recording. They had told her to sing and scream what she felt, with no words.
    They ended up doing three takes and they used parts of all three takes in the final mix.

    The spoken voices were recorded in interviews with people working in and around the recording studio and then used throughout the album. Fun fact: Paul and Linda McCartney were recording an album in an adjacent studio at the time and were interviewed as well, but their voices weren’t used in the final mix of Dark Side of the Moon.
    Pink Floyd has been my favorite band for 50 years. I love when young musicians and listeners like yourself discover and appreciate their music, which is as relevant today as it was when they recorded it. I highly recommend you react to anything from their legendary 1994 Pulse concert. You won’t regret it.

      Think you'll find Roger Waters wrote a load of questions on cards & left them in a box in the recording studio. Anyone that was around including roadies or crew he asked them to pick a card & answer the question.
      The question to 'I dunno I was really drunk at the time' was have you ever hit your wife! But there were some pertinent questions I believe.
