For those who have not had the privilege to meet and talk with Eva, I will tell you that she is the most talented and humble person I have ever met. Her physical beauty is intimidating, but her warmth as a person overrides all, such that is so easy to talk with her. I find it very intriguing listening to this video, and the zest that she has for life, and the love that she has for her husband that tours with her. The tour bus appears to be quite an enclosed environment. I think most married couples would find it challenging to be forced to be that close for so long. I can’t wait for my next opportunity to experience Brit Floyd and to say “Hi” to the band, and of course, Eva!
Had the privilege of hearing Eva sing one of, if not the most iconic Pink Floyd pieces just two weeks ago when Brit Floyd was in Ottawa. She did an amazing job. ( As did Brit Floyd ).
I listened to Great Gig over and over for quite a while by various singers and Eva is the best in my book. Brings tears every time. Much to my surprise she saw my comment on some channel and thanked me.
Saw Brit Floyd in Bethlehem on Saturday 3/23 for the second time. I will go every single time they come around NE PA. I couldn’t take any videos because I was paralyzed with amazement, appreciation, joy and respect for this band and their showmanship! I’m a 40 yr old man and this woman brings tears to my eyes when she sings Great Gig In The Sky. It’s an honor to have witnessed it. Thank you for what you do
I have been fortunate, over the last years, to hear Eva perform GGITS live and one of those times was last night in Houston. It is always the highlight of the concert. 👏👏👏👏 Such a talent and a great voice!
Ok. I'm 57. I have seen Pink Floyd 2x in 1987 and also in 1994. I play lead guitar in a local PINK FLOYD cover band. I have never in my life heard such a powerful performance on Great Gig In The Sky as I did last night (3/14/24) in Huntington, NY.
We just saw Brit Floyd in Bethlehem PA. I had never seen them perform before and was blown away by the musicianship and light show, but I couldn't imagine how they could do justice to Great Gig in The Sky. Eva had the crowd in awe, and she got a standing O *during* her solo. WOW!
You do Pink Floyd justice. You do Clare Torry justice with your rendition of the Great Gig. You do your fans justice. All with your humility, your vocals and your strength in singing. Amazing story. Keep it up. Cannot wait to see you guys again in the US!
Eva knows Torry's Gig so well, that her "ad libitum" on the original song are natural enhancements. Powerful voice and flabbergasting capacity. Wonderful.
Thank you for making this video Eva. It is nice to know the history behind The Great Gig In the Sky. I saw Brit Floyd play last July/2022 in Seattle and this past summer in Portland. The band is amazing and I cannot wait until you all come to the PNW in 2024. I do not know how you sing Great Gig In The Sky each night. It is such a powerful song and it must take a lot out of you. I remember the concert in Portland and you were so powerful singing this. Safe travels for the rest of your tour.
I've been around professional vocals all my life. There are very, VERY few people that can bring goosebumps to my skin and tears to my eyes with their voice but Eva is one. She is so amazingly talented. Thank you Eva for what you bring to us hard-core Floyd fans! We love you!
Had the privilege to meet Eva with a VIP ticket before a BF show. So pleasant and charming. Then hearing her do Gig in the Sky was like listening to an angel. It’s a must see!
Thank you for your excellent presentations and for not letting Pink Floyd's music die, beautiful and fantastic voice. I looked at them in North Charleston SC 2023
I would suppose my wife and myself would be almost considered to be Brit Floyd groupies lol. We try to see them at least twice a year. I have been folling Damian since he was with Australian Pink FLoyd. Saw Brit the first year they were together. Mid 2011, did my first meet and gteet in Cincinnati in 2017 and was able to meet the band. We had always did the Hello at the autograph table, but the meet and grest was a pure suprise. Damian always shoots off the stage at the end of the concert but rest of the band used to be at the fan pass by after the concert. So I though Damian was well stuck up but during th eM&G that changed my mind wow he was just like any other person very personable and was a big cut up! The whole band was extreamily friendly and answered any question and you had plenty of phot ops. Eva and I chatted for a long time as I had never seen her preform yet. Wow what a surprise when she performed Great Gig so smoothe not knocking Angela but she kinda screamed. Eva on the other hand was smooth as silk and was spot on! Edo has really fit in and has slipped into his rhythm now and I was suprised this year as he is singing and sounds a lot like David. My only wish is the group would incorporate Dog's back into the set list like they preformed at Red Rocks I love the Dueling guitar's. The group has had it's up's and downs The sound was really tight in 2015 With Bobby and Thomas but everyone is merging very well/ I have see you guys now 17 times. Had the pleasure of seeing Pink Floyd 6 times. I love the little additions that Damian, Ian, and Edo add in to make it their own . The Stage and Light show is Betterevery year and this year the souns was so good. Huber Heights was a bit loud though. Wish You Were Here always makes me shead a tear! That's how much you guys music moves me. Eva's, Great Gig is perfection. Keep the group togeather and keep on doing what you guys do you are the best! Please keep comming to the Taft and the Place. Love you guys! Almost as much as I loved Pink FLoyd! Looking forward to seeing you next year. I had to do the Wayne's World in Cincinnati I got on my kneesat the meet and greet and yelled Were not worthy Were not worthy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very proud of Eva's accomplishments, especially her amazing rendition of the solo in Great Gig in the Sky. I hope Brit Floyd finds its way back to the Vancouver area soon. I missed the last one because we were on a dream vacation.
When I heard her sign Great Gig, I was amazed how well she performed it. Singing lyrics is one thing, but to be able to remember Great Gig has to be the most difficult thing to sign. And, I worried about her voice the whole time. She’s so amazing! Seeing them again for my birthday in July. I can’t wait.
Heard and (discovered) you and Brit Floyd this weekend in Maine and was astounded by your solo. Although a fellow French Canadian, I've been an expat since 1993 so had never heard of you before. Am definitely a new fan of yours! Thank you for sharing your beautiful energy and talent with us. I'm still vibing from the concert!!
I just saw you with Brit Floyd in Baltimore MD and your performance was so fantastic and so so close to Clare Tory you caused this big burly guy to cry. I couldn’t believe I was watching and hearing it live. I’m 67 and have followed all the singers that try that song. There are no words that can express your excellence. I will look forward to hearing you again next spring. Thanks from a life long Floyd fan and by the way the rest of the band was fantastic too!
Eva, I absolutely love and respect your desire and dedication to perform Great Gig in the Sky as it was written. Many, I imagine, want to put their own twist on it (like you hear with national anthems). I’m not sure how many more times I’ll have the honor to hear you perform this live, but I enjoy every second of the journey your vocals take me on each time. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. And thanks for sharing your story here.
I caught your wonderful show in Peterborough tonight. You do a truly fantastic job of bringing the Floyd experience to life. I was especially impressed with Eva's vocals on "The Great Gig in the Sky". So happy to have caught this show! :)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Eva-thank you so much for posting this video and allowing your fans to catch a little glimpse of your background. I had no idea! I have seen you perform five times, and “the great gig in the sky“ nearly brought me to tears every time. That is such a powerful piece -and thank you for reproducing it note for note , which cannot be easy. You always bring the house down. I am a lifelong Pink Floyd fan and I appreciate that BRIT FLOYD strives to reproduce Pink Floyd so meticulously. The shows are always absolutely stunning. Thank you for keeping the Pink Floyd experience and music alive. Music brings us all together regardless of our backgrounds. To me ,these are not really concerts as much they are experiences. Thank you for being a part of something so incredibly great. It cannot be easy being on the road for so long but please know that you and everyone in the band and everybody who makes it happen are so appreciated. 👍👍❤️❤️🎸🎸🙏🙏
Toute l'équipe de L'Artishow est fière de ton beau parcours Eva. Nous te souhaitons de pouvoir toujours vivre avec autant d'amour et d'authenticité comme tu le démontres si bien dans cette capsule vidéo. Bravo!! 😍😘
Such a great story! 2024 June 19 at Marmore... your performance on Great Gig gave me tears. Listening back to it again on this video made them fall again. You do the song with so much feeling. How to see you all at Red Rocks next year.
Since hearing GGITS the first time as a young man in 1973, I was in awe and moved by the emotion and talent it takes to perform. Thanks for keeping it alive and allowing me to hear it in person. Saw you in Charlotte on 7/26/24 and you slayed it.
My husband introduced Brit Floyd to me back in 2013/4. Was never a Pink Floyd fan but went along to the concerts to keep my husband company. But i soon started to appreciate BF version of the music. Then we started the Meet n Greet sometime in 2016/7. We started to get to know everyone but Eva was so sweet and a bright light. She honestly makes everyone feel so welcomed to point where i fell in love with the band even more. She has made me such a Great Gig snob. 😊 Anytime i hear someone sing it, i always compare it to Eva's version. Nobody in my eyes has come close to her version. I truly feel blessed everytime i hear Eva sing Great Gig. She takes me to church all the time....and im not religious.😊 Looking forward to 2024.
Nobody does it better than u , saw u and the band back in May and was blown away at how all the music is does with the best recreation any floyd fan could ever expect, thanx for this mini bio, it was a kick to see, and will be watching for the next time u roll into our area, best wishses to u all
I have rode my snowmobile through Gatineau!! Quebec is awesome. The people, the culture! When I do go up there I don,t want to go home! OH CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeff Dusti Shirley,Ma.
I have seen Damian ( yeah from when he had a full head of hair !) Always seeking out the Very Best talent to cover the Best Band in History, and do it right. While all have Immense Talent, The choice of Eva Really Stepped it up to the Clouds! Her Clear and authentic voice sends chills down Thousands of Spines around the world ! Thanks Eva! PS I could write a Book on how Great your Husband is too!@
Your version of Great Gig in the Sky is unbelieveable -- you do it even better than Clare did (and thats impossible --- but you did!) You have that to perfection --- outstanding 👏👍🏆🥇. {Brit Floyd Eva Avila Great Gig in the Sky Benedum Center, Pittsburgh Pa 03/06/2020}
Wow, what a voice. I was just asked to do Great Gig I'm the Sky for a local band in Key Largo. I am going to listen to your version, you are the best. I can only hope I do it half as good as you.
I am so incredibly proud of this woman, my precious daughter ❤ for her humility, kindness and good heart and beautiful soul! I raised her so well!
She is the best I've ever heard and I've heard more than a few. I really love listening to her.
Indeed! I saw her perform and a few minutes of interviews on YT, seems like a very sweet lady. Incredible talent. Be proud mom!
For those who have not had the privilege to meet and talk with Eva, I will tell you that she is the most talented and humble person I have ever met.

The Queen of ‘The Great Gig In The Sky’❤
Thats what I call her all the time

Eva is a gem, a really wonderful human being that sounds, looks and is supernice. Her italian husband should be very proud.
I have been fortunate, over the last years, to hear Eva perform GGITS live and one of those times was last night in Houston. It is always the highlight of the concert. 👏👏👏👏 Such a talent and a great voice!
Love Eva!!! Such an amazing, lovely, talented person. So happy to have met her in person at one of Brit Floyd’s meet and greets. ❤❤

Eva knows Torry's Gig so well, that her "ad libitum" on the original song are natural enhancements. Powerful voice and flabbergasting capacity. Wonderful.
Saw you and Brit Floyd for the first time last night in Philadelphia. Amazing show and your performance of ‘Gig’ made this grown man cry.
On May 25, i saw Brit Floyd here in Atlanta. An amazing show with Miss Avila STEALING the evening performing Great Gig In The Sky.
Thank you for making this video Eva. It is nice to know the history behind The Great Gig In the Sky. I saw Brit Floyd play last July/2022 in Seattle and this past summer in Portland. The band is amazing and I cannot wait until you all come to the PNW in 2024. I do not know how you sing Great Gig In The Sky each night. It is such a powerful song and it must take a lot out of you. I remember the concert in Portland and you were so powerful singing this. Safe travels for the rest of your tour.
Absolutely phenomenal performance. Eva Avila blew me away with her killing it in Orlando. Looking forward to seeing the Pulse tour in 2024.
I've been around professional vocals all my life. There are very, VERY few people that can bring goosebumps to my skin and tears to my eyes with their voice but Eva is one. She is so amazingly talented. Thank you Eva for what you bring to us hard-core Floyd fans! We love you!
A down to earth Canadian girl. with massive talent and an angelic voice. I will see you again in London on Sunday.
Had the privilege to meet Eva with a VIP ticket before a BF show. So pleasant and charming. Then hearing her do Gig in the Sky was like listening to an angel. It’s a must see!
I just got that privilege to witness her today. What a voice, she made everyone stand up for her.
We still talk about you when we was blessed with your voice her in Sweden.All the best.
Thank you for your excellent presentations and for not letting Pink Floyd's music die, beautiful and fantastic voice. I looked at them in North Charleston SC 2023

Very proud of Eva's accomplishments, especially her amazing rendition of the solo in Great Gig in the Sky. I hope Brit Floyd finds its way back to the Vancouver area soon. I missed the last one because we were on a dream vacation.
If the fans came out for the show there, the band will be back.
Looking forward to seeing them in concert in 2 weeks in alabama woo hoo
When I heard her sign Great Gig, I was amazed how well she performed it. Singing lyrics is one thing, but to be able to remember Great Gig has to be the most difficult thing to sign. And, I worried about her voice the whole time. She’s so amazing! Seeing them again for my birthday in July. I can’t wait.

Congratulations on your career and for sharing the stage with such talented people. 🙂
Saw her along with the rest of the band in Bethlehem on March 21st was absolutely amazing. She got a standing ovation, well deserved.
I have rode my snowmobile through Gatineau!! Quebec is awesome. The people, the culture! When I do go up there I don,t want to go home! OH CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeff Dusti Shirley,Ma.

Thanks for sharing video. Looking forward to Bridgeport Amphitheater performance this evening. If you have time swing by Suite 9.
Was lucky enough to see them in Toledo, OH on 4-2-24, TGGitS absolutely brought the house down. Definitely the highlight of the evening.
Can't wait to see & hear Sunday 69 Prescott, AZ
Hope you visit Amsterdam again in 2024!
Sei un fenomeno!!!!!!
Music was my first love in my life like John Miles
Amazing 👏 👏 😊
Hearing her sing “The Great Gig in the Sky” is the closest I’ve had to a religious experience I’ve ever had.
Wow, what a voice. I was just asked to do Great Gig I'm the Sky for a local band in Key Largo. I am going to listen to your version, you are the best. I can only hope I do it half as good as you.
David or Roger have to contact you!!! I have never eared a vocalist so close to Clare Torry!!!! In Pink Floyd live shows they are so bad!!!
She is just freaking amazing
She's much better than Torry! I can't listen to the original anymore!
👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤❤❤❤❤
Who is this girl?
She is Eva Avila, Brit Floyd backing and lead vocalist.
