The original with Claire Torry is a masterpiece. She was hired for an afternoon. Walked in the studio, chatted with the band to get an idea what they wanted and they really didn't say much except they wanted no words in the vocals. She improvised and recorded in two takes. Amazing story.
If I recall the story, she was struggling with what they wanted, until they talked and specified they wanted her to use her voice as an instrument. Once she got that, 2 takes and we got what's on the record.
@@DamnedEyez I think, they've actually taken the first take. She was abandoning the third take and went away, thinking, it will never get onto the album. Later, she found out in a music shop, where she saw it in the window and bought it. Then, it was just "vocals by Clare Torry", later she sued them and they've settled in the 200Xs, that she and Richard Wright get the writing credits (and some undisclosed amount of money from the income) for her important role in the improvised choreography. I think, it's also her on the track "Time" in the background.
Imagine you have just been told that you are going to die. You go through a series of emotions from anger to acceptance. The ladies take you through those emotions.
Yep. It’s basically what the death process would sound like if it was music, much like the Allman Brothers’ “Jessica”. One of the band members was watching his daughter, Jessica playing, and he figured that that’s what it would sound like if it was a song. Each time she changed what she was doing, he’d change the song accordingly.
In May 2022, I was on a music cruise that Durga McBroom (the second woman to sing on this song) was performing on, along with her sister Lorilei. My cabin mate had to cancel attending at the last minute due to her sister's cancer treatments. I knew the McBroom sisters were particular favorites of my friend. By chance I saw the two of them on a very crowded deck and decided to ask them if they would make a little video massage for her. When I finished explaining what I wanted, Durga looked around at all the people on the deck, immediately took my hand and said, "not here, let's find a quieter spot." We walked for several minutes until we found an empty room and we filmed it there. This woman had been in Pink Floyd, and she treated me and my friend like we were the most important people in the world to her.
Dark Side of the Moon still stands as one of the greatest albums ever made. A masterclass in how to seamlessly take the listener on a journey of emotions.
When the album came out on vinyl I was in college, & I invited a few friends over one-on-one to listen to it from start to finish. There was silence all the way thru, and at the end each one of them thanked me, got up & left without further discussion - THAT was how HARD it hit everyone - PHEW, it's emotional to recall
Sam Brown's vocals on this are legendary to me. She goes from little girl to woman and back again, I always have chills when hearing this and I always have to listen again!
@@stevem-h3562 One day someone will post a comment applauding the ladies here - especially Miss Brown - and not get someone immediately invoking Clare Torry. But, again, it's not this day. Two things can be brilliant.
As good as this is Bisscute, treat yourself to a listen to the original album version, all vocals by Clare Tory. She was given a quick idea of what the band wanted( no words but show the various stages of learning you are dying, Shock or Disbelief, anger, denial, bargaining, depression, then finally acceptance. By the way the spoken words were spoken by a member of the road crew-. "And, I am not frightened of dying, 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."
This. Also, while this song stands alone as a great piece, it is even better in context. People will tell you to listen to the full album, and I hope you do it one day, it's really worth it, but even if you don't, at least try to listen to Time and The Great Gig in the Sky as they are in the album, one after the other without pause. Time starts with our wasting time in our youth, then running out of time as we age, then Great Gig in the Sky is the conclusion: rejecting death, fighting it, and ultimately accepting it. It's quite powerful.
@@ianclark9598 Yeah that's true, my point was really that Clare did it all herself (in 2 takes apparently) whereas there are 3 vocalists here, still good though.
@@crincon this performance, taken from the Pulse gig at Earls Court in 1994, was also of DSOTM in its entirety played end to end. And the missing context here is what, precisely??????
@@stevem-h3562 Like I said: if you listen to this song on its own, what you get is a beautiful song and not much more. But if you come into it from listening to Time, then you're already immersed in the theme of aging, and how time flies ever faster as you get close to the end, and then The Great Gig in the Sky hits very hard because it *is* the end. It's not just beautiful, but it has a very clear and touching meaning. It's a more powerful experience. And yes, the Pulse concert was the full album. I'm not sure what your point is about that? In any case, yeah, it was the full album for a reason: it's more powerful this way. Now I understand that listening to a full album in this day and age is not very popular, and fair enough, the culture is different, I'm no one to judge. All I say is, even if you don't listen to the whole thing, at least consider just playing Time and The Great Gig together. Because it is a great experience.
The blonde girl is Sam Brown who sang STOP. The second is Durga McBroom who also played Heels in the Flashdance movie. The third is Claudia Fontaine who sadly died.
Pink Floyd is unique in that their back up singers are not really back up. Their voices are layered throughout the live performances as truly part of the music.
It takes a lot of courage to cover this song after Ms. Torry's original performance. These ladies did a wonderful job and are to be applauded. Do listen to the original studio release, though. It's peerless.
I believe that they needed to have three vocalists to sing this on tour. For one person to sing the entire song every performance would have been near impossible.
@@420since1974 Clare Torry's studio performance of this track is one of the greatest recordings of the female human voice EVER. And she took two and a half takes, and the great Alan Parsons mixed it into that recording. Sheer brilliance. When Pink Floyd perform this live, they always use three vocalists because, as you said, it would be near impossible for one vocalist. Ready to have your mind blown? Amy Smith of "The Australian Pink Floyd Show" (a PF tribute band that prides itself on getting EVERY NOTE PERFECTLY) performs all three parts live. Solo. One take. I've heard MANY singers try to sing this just like Clare, and they have their own little nuances. Some are okay, some murder it. Amy Smith NAILS IT. The only performance that even approaches Clare's supreme effort. You can thank me later. ruclips.net/video/ltt_YScyCVg/видео.html
The instrument David is playing is a console steel guitar. It's a type of slide guitar that's played by sliding a steel bar on the strings while plucking them.

The blond back-up singer is Sam Brown. Sam was a solo "Pop Music" artist during this period and even had a #1 hit on the UK charts. Sam was offered an opportunity to perform with Pink Floyd in a back-up capacity and she jumped at the chance to play with them putting her own carrier in a brief hiatus. Such was the degree of respect that Pink Floyd held in the industry. The band took their name from two old black blues musicians from North Carolina, PINK Anderson and FLOYD Council. Just FYI.
@@DrSkeff True! She damaged her vocal cords. Can you imagine having that level of talent, love to sing and then it is taken away from you. I feel so sorry for Linda Ronstadt. Singing was like breathing to her and now Parkinsons has silenced her. She said she can't even sing in the shower anymore. No muscle control. Both women though handle it extremely well! No "poor, poor pitiful me" from either of them.
SAM BROWN (The Blond woman is a PHENOMENAL Singer! Her Dad was also a famous musician in London but of a TOTALLY different genré) Im sure ive seen this song in a longer version though!? Either way, Sam Brown - Phenomenal! 👌🏻 🏴🇬🇧
You got it. It was their way of communicating so much feeling with no lyrics. The instrument is called a "steel guitar" or a "slide guitar". It is used a lot in Country music but of course in the hands of David Gilmore it can sound out of this world. Another great reaction Bisscute! 😗💕, PJ
hey bisscute, om so glad you checked this out, and at the same time i write this with a sence of sadness.. the first singer on this take was Sam Brown, a singer i grew up with, listening to her solo albums, on witch David Gilmour did guest appearences , She is best known for her hitsong "stop!", look it up, you will love it. The reason i got sad is that in 2007 she lost her singing voice. She had a cyste removed on her vocal cords, but she never got her singing voice back, so tragic. One of the best vocalists outhere imho.
Last Saturday I spent 3 hours at a Pink Floyd Experience concert with my son and two of his friends. This tribute band has covered Pink Floyd for 30 years. During the intermission, I said to one of the friends that I knew they were performing this song and I hoped that they wouldn't stuff it up. They didn't, and actually received the most applause that evening.
I love this version and it’s really great, but it can never match the original sung by Clare Tory on the original album, in my opinion. It was an iconic moment in musical history that can never be repeated. I’m so grateful that moment was captured and recorded so that we could all hear and experience it for generations. Thank you for reacting to this version as well, you were brilliant!
The instrument you're liking at the beginning is a pedal steel guitar. It's mostly used in country music, but the way its used in this song is spectacular.
I love that. Eye liner you put on it exsintuates your buitiful eyes You don't need words. Biss It's the way you.sing that creates emotion . You can't really describe what music can do. It's a gift from god.Yes, you should hear the album version. When she was younger. Like you. I don't want to sound vain. But she sounded even more spectacular. This was a number one album for a long time. She still sounds amazing. After all these years. These are the best years of your life biss if you down some times God will comfort you 😂😮😅😊❤
That is what is called a lap steel guitar David is playing, the Ladies are portraying in raw emotion the transitions into leaving life, stages of dying, fear, denial, anger, resistance and finally acceptance, Awesome stuff indeed.
Very good from Spain, first of all I am using the google translator since my English is very bad. I watch your videos whenever I can and this is one of the best for being a Pink Floyd song. As you comment in the video there are 3 vocalists, right, each one sings a different tone, with a different mood... right? This song talks about death, about what a person feels when they leave this world, the first vocalist represents euphoria, ignorance of death. The second vocalist represents the fatigue fight of death and the third vocalist represents the victory of death and to stop suffering an intense fight with it. I hope everything is clarified, a big kiss from Barcelona (Spain).
The strange thing about Pink Floyd .... not particular that song ... they manage to give you goosbumps, taking you places, boost your emotions to a point of explosion, but at the same time, it makes you feel so peaceful, so calm and so relaxed, like you are in some kind of meditation process, listening to them.
I _LOVE_ this song! It makes me cry almost every time I hear it.(the original) I have requested to have it played at my funeral. Such a beautiful song.
How lucky are we to have such talented musicians bringing us music like this to listen to!! And there is a lifetime of great songs out there to discover. I think this one took you by surprise Biss. . . . Thanks for your reaction. Good job!
@@mikebeagley There is no need to imagine the f'in original. What is it that you thick people cant get through your heads? This is a live rendition of a track recorded 20 years earlier. They are NEVER going to be the same. NEVER. EVER. The recorded version has NO relevance to this review video AT ALL. They are COMPLETELY separate instances.
That's a pedal steel guitar. He's playing the neck of the guitar by sliding a glass tube in his left hand and picking the notes with his right. Basically, its a guitar set into a table so you can play it face up - sort of like Jeff Healey plays - my favorite part of the video is when David Gilmore stops playing near the end and just watches the last singer finish up.
This is a great, live version from the amazing Pulse Concert, those ladies were awesome when I saw them. But you need to hear the original with Claire Torrey on vocals, it is the audio they will hear as we explore the cosmos! Do Dark Side of the Moon, it is part of your musical education. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶.
The singers are (in order of appearance): Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, and her sister Lorelei. They do it very well, but there's nothing like the original version with Claire Torry.
The guiter you saw david gilmour playing was a slide guiter, you use a metal or wood or plastic tube on your fingers sliding it up and down while picking notes with your other hand and thats why it sounds so beautiful
Mind blowing is the perfect term to describe this performance. I do agree with everyone and check out the original version but this performance is amazing as well. Love the reaction Biss!! ❤👏🔥
David Gilmour plays a slide guitar in the beginning. In Fat Old Sun, he starts with an Spanish guitar and then continues with a slide guitar. It's a fantastic song,too.
Great reaction Bisscute! The instrument you asked about is a lap steel guitar (also called a lap slide guitar). It's played with finger picks and a steel or glass bar that is slid up and down the neck.
With a heavy reverb and delay on it, to make it very atmospheric. It's interesting that this instrument is sort of best known for both hard core country and psychedelic rock.
think about this, the blonde is in her late 60's or early 70's at the time of this concert! She did the original recordings for this album in 1972 and the album was released March 1973.
I wasn't checking your channel for a while... "Great Gig In The Sky" has led me here again, and I see... you're keep getting more bisscute ❤ Wish you all the best!
hello from switzerland, a lot of what Pink Floyd has done is a masterpiece in its own way, "the greate gig in the sky" is no exception. imagine you have a song, you just say to the background singers, "sorry, we don't have any lyrics, make something out of it..." and a record label that's so stupid to put something like that on the market. The result, a song that is second to none and will remain unique for a long time to come. When a band understands how to do something like that successfully, then you know they belong to the top of those who write songs, make music. I really enjoyed your reaction, surprised but quickly gripped by the emotions, even if you didn't really understand what the song was about, I thought it was wonderful.
Bisscute, this is a short version or prelude to the next song, as the concert continues. Like your reaction to this..Amazing Reaction Bisscute you are a wonderful individual...❤❤😢😢
The instrument David Gilmore was playing is called a steel guitar. It's a string instrument that's used with a slide. It's like a guitar, but is designed to be played sitting down like he did. Steel guitars have been around since the beginning of the 20th Century. They were used in Hawaiian music and early country western music.
In case someone hasn't already pointed it out, this song is about the moments after death. I don't think it's been captured in any live version as well as the original but there is a transition from fear/panic to more of a confusion/wonder and finally acceptance/peace. It's one of my favorite songs and makes me tear up every time I listen to it because the message is that we shouldn't be afraid. There is something good to go to on the other side.
Great music should be able to create a variety of personal interpretations, but to my knowledge the band have never said it was do with any afterlife, and most listeners consensus is that it is meant to evoke various stages of grief. For me, the track can have a much wider meaning of loss, which is not restricted just to death, but could be the breakup of a relationship, a physical or mental lifechanging trauma, or any devastating situation that challenges us to accept what has happened to us.
It's an amazing performance no doubt, but for me, it pales in comparison the the Dark Side Of The Moon version with headphones and Clair Torry on vocals, which conveys the vocals of the entire song, where in concert they use 3 vocalists! It's a must-listen. One of the most brilliant and beautiful compositions of music in the last 50+ years.
Pink Floyd is a band with a lot of musical texture, I especially like this phase which is the 1993-94 tour called Pulce. The instrument used by guitarist David Gilmo is called a slide guitar.
this song tells the story of a woman through the 3 stages of her life. Maiden, Mother and Crone, from classical folklore...all without words...pure emotion...so beautiful!
In this song, the vocalist learns they are dying and then processes it. You picked up on the emotions of that process - well done. And the instrument is a pedal steel guitar. In the right hands, like this absolute master guitarist, it can be incredibly evocative. Thanks for your videos.
The blonde woman singing this piece in the beginning (and actually most of the leading background vocals during the Pulse Tour) is no one less than Sam Brown, who in the late 80ies had a One-Hit Wonder in the Charts with the song „Stop“! And is you like the lap-Steel-guitar in this piece, you MUST listen to „high hopes“ of the same concert!
It's called a Lap Guitar. Very popular in US country music. Strings are strung high so a metal bar can be slid up and down the strings creating that unique sound. Similar to slide guitar where the bar slide is worn on the finger. For a master demonstration see Bonny Raite or Johnny Winters (
Fantasic reaction! I am really pleased you finally got to this one. Pretty much everyone has the same reaction when they hear it for the first time but imagine what it was like to hear it when it was first released. As an oldie, I did! This track and the Album were ground breaking, there had been nothing like it before and IMHO nothing like it since. That's why it's in the top ten all time best sellers. I was also at one of the 1994 PULSE concerts at Earls Court. I believe this was the one broadcast on 20th October 1994. What many reactors to this may not realise is that it was not just one concert at Earls Court but a series of 15 (yes, fifteen!) done as 6 consective from the 12th to the 17th, 5 consecutive from 19th to the 23rd and 4 consecutive from the 26th to the 29th. How they were still standing at the end of all that is beyond me. The first concert was cut short due to a seating collapse. I have heard lots of you youngsters say they wonder what it was like to be there and experience it live. I can tell you that for me, it was the best concert I have ever been to. It was so much more than a concert. It was a total, audio-visual, sensory experience that flowed in a carefully choreographed way from one track to another and of course with the whole of Dark Side of the Moon performed exactly as per the album. Earls Court is a massive venue with great acoustics so the size and participation of the audience added to the electrcity of it. It was a truly great thing to have experienced and I feel very lucky to have been there. By the way, the blonde lady in the backing singers is Sam Brown. She is the daughter of Joe Brown who was a famous Rock and Roll/Skiffle/Rhythm & Blues artist in the early 60's here in the UK.

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon Album is in essence about Death.
An event that all of humanity is destined to experience at one point or another, in one way or another be it our own death or the death of a loved one. Depending on each individual's level of compassion and acceptance of death, persistent traumatic grief can cause us to cycle through the 5 stages of grief:
denial,
anger,
bargaining,
depression,
acceptance.
These stages are our attempts at processing change brought about by the traumatic loss of a loved one or the acceptance of ones own mortality and to protect ourselves while we adapt to our new reality. A reality that will be grounded in how well, or not, we managed through the 5 stages of grief mentioned above.
Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky is about such a journey. The opening lyrics start with denial and end with acceptance.

PinkFloyd may be the greatest band ever. Thank you.❤️👍
SAM BROWN (The Blond woman is a PHENOMENAL Singer! Her Dad was also a famous musician in London but of a TOTALLY different genré) Im sure ive seen this song in a longer version though!? Either way, Sam Brown - Phenomenal! 👌🏻 🏴🇬🇧
You got it. It was their way of communicating so much feeling with no lyrics. The instrument is called a "steel guitar" or a "slide guitar". It is used a lot in Country music but of course in the hands of David Gilmore it can sound out of this world. Another great reaction Bisscute! 😗💕, PJ
This album is one where you have to put on headphones, dim the lights, lay down and listen all the way through…
hey bisscute, om so glad you checked this out, and at the same time i write this with a sence of sadness.. the first singer on this take was Sam Brown, a singer i grew up with, listening to her solo albums, on witch David Gilmour did guest appearences , She is best known for her hitsong "stop!", look it up, you will love it. The reason i got sad is that in 2007 she lost her singing voice. She had a cyste removed on her vocal cords, but she never got her singing voice back, so tragic. One of the best vocalists outhere imho.
Saw them in 1987 for the A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour and when Rachel Fury sang that first section, I had goosebumps running up and down my arms.
Last Saturday I spent 3 hours at a Pink Floyd Experience concert with my son and two of his friends. This tribute band has covered Pink Floyd for 30 years. During the intermission, I said to one of the friends that I knew they were performing this song and I hoped that they wouldn't stuff it up. They didn't, and actually received the most applause that evening.
I love this version and it’s really great, but it can never match the original sung by Clare Tory on the original album, in my opinion. It was an iconic moment in musical history that can never be repeated. I’m so grateful that moment was captured and recorded so that we could all hear and experience it for generations. Thank you for reacting to this version as well, you were brilliant!
The instrument you're liking at the beginning is a pedal steel guitar. It's mostly used in country music, but the way its used in this song is spectacular.
I love that.
Eye liner you put on it exsintuates your buitiful eyes You don't need words. Biss It's the way you.sing that creates emotion
. You can't really describe what music can do. It's a gift from god.Yes, you should hear the album version. When she was younger. Like you. I don't want to sound vain. But she sounded even more spectacular. This was a number one album for a long time. She still sounds amazing. After all these years. These are the best years of your life biss if you down some times God will comfort you 😂😮😅😊❤
That is what is called a lap steel guitar David is playing, the Ladies are portraying in raw emotion the transitions into leaving life, stages of dying, fear, denial, anger, resistance and finally acceptance, Awesome stuff indeed.
Very good from Spain, first of all I am using the google translator since my English is very bad.
I watch your videos whenever I can and this is one of the best for being a Pink Floyd song.
As you comment in the video there are 3 vocalists, right, each one sings a different tone, with a different mood... right?
This song talks about death, about what a person feels when they leave this world, the first vocalist represents euphoria, ignorance of death. The second vocalist represents the fatigue fight of death and the third vocalist represents the victory of death and to stop suffering an intense fight with it. I hope everything is clarified, a big kiss from Barcelona (Spain).
The strange thing about Pink Floyd .... not particular that song ... they manage to give you goosbumps, taking you places, boost your emotions to a point of explosion, but at the same time, it makes you feel so peaceful, so calm and so relaxed, like you are in some kind of meditation process, listening to them.
I _LOVE_ this song! It makes me cry almost every time I hear it.(the original) I have requested to have it played at my funeral. Such a beautiful song.
From goosebumps to tears , then pure joy . . . what a journey 🗽
How lucky are we to have such talented musicians bringing us music like this to listen to!! And there is a lifetime of great songs out there to discover. I think this one took you by surprise Biss. . . . Thanks for your reaction. Good job!
The blonde female vocal is Sam Brown . She has a few solo albums. Had a hit in the 80's called Stop... inedible voice.
Just imagine, the original was all done by just one singer, taking you through all those emotions
this isnt the original. Its in the middle of a damned world tour. It never claims to be the original. For gods sake, cant you people let it go?
@@stevem-h3562 perhaps you need to reread the OP's actual words rather than what you think they wrote? Take note of the commas....
@@mikebeagley There is no need to imagine the f'in original.
What is it that you thick people cant get through your heads? This is a live rendition of a track recorded 20 years earlier. They are NEVER going to be the same. NEVER. EVER. The recorded version has NO relevance to this review video AT ALL. They are COMPLETELY separate instances.
That's a pedal steel guitar. He's playing the neck of the guitar by sliding a glass tube in his left hand and picking the notes with his right. Basically, its a guitar set into a table so you can play it face up - sort of like Jeff Healey plays - my favorite part of the video is when David Gilmore stops playing near the end and just watches the last singer finish up.
This is a great, live version from the amazing Pulse Concert, those ladies were awesome when I saw them. But you need to hear the original with Claire Torrey on vocals, it is the audio they will hear as we explore the cosmos! Do Dark Side of the Moon, it is part of your musical education. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶.
The singers are (in order of appearance): Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, and her sister Lorelei. They do it very well, but there's nothing like the original version with Claire Torry.
To feel it.....live. You feel it as much as hear it. My most memorable concert of all time. And I have seem some rather remarkable bands.
Interesting bit of info: the first vocalist is Sam Brown, whose mom Vicki Brown also sang with Pink Floyd but that was in the 70s.
The guiter you saw david gilmour playing was a slide guiter, you use a metal or wood or plastic tube on your fingers sliding it up and down while picking notes with your other hand and thats why it sounds so beautiful
It's actually called a "Lap Steel" guitar
Mind blowing is the perfect term to describe this performance. I do agree with everyone and check out the original version but this performance is amazing as well. Love the reaction Biss!! ❤👏🔥
Pink Floyd to me Is musical genius so different so perfect 😁
it's a Lap-Steel guitar he's playing with a slide!
Everyone who listens to it is almost crying by the end. Such an amazingly emotional song without one word spoken... props to Clare Torry!
David Gilmour plays a slide guitar in the beginning. In Fat Old Sun, he starts with an Spanish guitar and then continues with a slide guitar. It's a fantastic song,too.
Great reaction Bisscute! The instrument you asked about is a lap steel guitar (also called a lap slide guitar). It's played with finger picks and a steel or glass bar that is slid up and down the neck.
With a heavy reverb and delay on it, to make it very atmospheric. It's interesting that this instrument is sort of best known for both hard core country and psychedelic rock.
PINK FLOYD In a nut shell.. "I don't know that instrument but it's doing things to me"
The instrument that did something to you... OMG, you're gonna enjoy "One of these Days" from the same concert.
think about this, the blonde is in her late 60's or early 70's at the time of this concert! She did the original recordings for this album in 1972 and the album was released March 1973.
5:23 "If you hear someone whispering your dying" First time reactors rarely hear that lyric.
its "I never said I was frightened of dying"
the singer at the beginning It's Sam Brown. famous in the late 80s for her song Stop. Greetings from Chile!
It's a slide guitar - laid horizontally it uses a metal slider to choose the notes. Very interesting approach musically - different way to express.
OMG - LOVE the BANGS on your face, so PRETTY!!!
I wasn't checking your channel for a while...
"Great Gig In The Sky" has led me here again, and I see... you're keep getting more bisscute ❤ Wish you all the best!
hello from switzerland, a lot of what Pink Floyd has done is a masterpiece in its own way, "the greate gig in the sky" is no exception. imagine you have a song, you just say to the background singers, "sorry, we don't have any lyrics, make something out of it..." and a record label that's so stupid to put something like that on the market. The result, a song that is second to none and will remain unique for a long time to come. When a band understands how to do something like that successfully, then you know they belong to the top of those who write songs, make music.
I really enjoyed your reaction, surprised but quickly gripped by the emotions, even if you didn't really understand what the song was about, I thought it was wonderful.
Your reaction was genuine. Thank you.
It's worthwhile to also listen to the studio version from DSotM, and the live version off _"The Delicate Sound of Thunder"._
The singer on the dark side of the moon was clare torry
Hi there, nice reaction video. The instrument David Gilmour is playing is called a lap-steel guitar.
I like your 'new' look Miss Bisscute, you look like a true Hard Rocking & Rolling / Heavy Metal chick. 👍👍🔥🔥🎸🎸🎶🎶🎵🎵
Three angels at the same time... too much.
Bisscute, this is a short version or prelude to the next song, as the concert continues. Like your reaction to this..Amazing Reaction Bisscute you are a wonderful individual...❤❤😢😢
At the beginning, he was using PEDAL STEEL GUITAR. It gives amazing sounds.
I get tears everytime I hears this you are absolutely beautiful with or without bangs :)
Dud she looks anglic other times what a gem
The instrument David Gilmore was playing is called a steel guitar. It's a string instrument that's used with a slide. It's like a guitar, but is designed to be played sitting down like he did. Steel guitars have been around since the beginning of the 20th Century. They were used in Hawaiian music and early country western music.
In case someone hasn't already pointed it out, this song is about the moments after death. I don't think it's been captured in any live version as well as the original but there is a transition from fear/panic to more of a confusion/wonder and finally acceptance/peace. It's one of my favorite songs and makes me tear up every time I listen to it because the message is that we shouldn't be afraid. There is something good to go to on the other side.
@thebrugdor it can't really be after death, because the first 'stance' is PAIN
Great music should be able to create a variety of personal interpretations, but to my knowledge the band have never said it was do with any afterlife, and most listeners consensus is that it is meant to evoke various stages of grief. For me, the track can have a much wider meaning of loss, which is not restricted just to death, but could be the breakup of a relationship, a physical or mental lifechanging trauma, or any devastating situation that challenges us to accept what has happened to us.
Bisscute, Pink Floyd is Powerful Music!!!!!!!!!! I'm 70 still Rock n Roll!!!!!
and my heart and my hand...
Pulse is the only time I got to see Pink Floyd. It was in Oakland, CA.
I recommend the band Nazareth song This flight tonight 1975. The singer Dan McCafferty is insane and not recognised for all.
It's an amazing performance no doubt, but for me, it pales in comparison the the Dark Side Of The Moon version with headphones and Clair Torry on vocals, which conveys the vocals of the entire song, where in concert they use 3 vocalists! It's a must-listen. One of the most brilliant and beautiful compositions of music in the last 50+ years.
Pink Floyd is a band with a lot of musical texture, I especially like this phase which is the 1993-94 tour called Pulce.
The instrument used by guitarist David Gilmo is called a slide guitar.
As I said abowe, no you can play slide on any guitar he plays on a lap steel guitar.
@@arildbarstad6039 Yes! you are sure
and that in Brazil we also call it that way
this song tells the story of a woman through the 3 stages of her life. Maiden, Mother and Crone, from classical folklore...all without words...pure emotion...so beautiful!
they make it seem so easy but the amount of Breath and vocal control is amazing !!!!
Music is the universal language.
That is Sam Brown. I was at this concert and it was a night I will never forget. Music like this will never be repeated.
In this song, the vocalist learns they are dying and then processes it. You picked up on the emotions of that process - well done. And the instrument is a pedal steel guitar. In the right hands, like this absolute master guitarist, it can be incredibly evocative.
Thanks for your videos.
The blonde woman singing this piece in the beginning (and actually most of the leading background vocals during the Pulse Tour) is no one less than Sam Brown, who in the late 80ies had a One-Hit Wonder in the Charts with the song „Stop“! And is you like the lap-Steel-guitar in this piece, you MUST listen to „high hopes“ of the same concert!
You should have reviewed the studio version. Missed oportunity for epicness :)
There is another version from The Delicate Sound of Thunder concert, the same singer does the second solo and different singers do the other 2.
It's called a Lap Guitar.
Very popular in US country music. Strings are strung high so a metal bar can be slid up and down the strings creating that unique sound.
Similar to slide guitar where the bar slide is worn on the finger. For a master demonstration see Bonny Raite or Johnny Winters (
Fantasic reaction! I am really pleased you finally got to this one. Pretty much everyone has the same reaction when they hear it for the first time but imagine what it was like to hear it when it was first released. As an oldie, I did! This track and the Album were ground breaking, there had been nothing like it before and IMHO nothing like it since. That's why it's in the top ten all time best sellers.
I was also at one of the 1994 PULSE concerts at Earls Court. I believe this was the one broadcast on 20th October 1994. What many reactors to this may not realise is that it was not just one concert at Earls Court but a series of 15 (yes, fifteen!) done as 6 consective from the 12th to the 17th, 5 consecutive from 19th to the 23rd and 4 consecutive from the 26th to the 29th. How they were still standing at the end of all that is beyond me. The first concert was cut short due to a seating collapse.
I have heard lots of you youngsters say they wonder what it was like to be there and experience it live. I can tell you that for me, it was the best concert I have ever been to. It was so much more than a concert. It was a total, audio-visual, sensory experience that flowed in a carefully choreographed way from one track to another and of course with the whole of Dark Side of the Moon performed exactly as per the album. Earls Court is a massive venue with great acoustics so the size and participation of the audience added to the electrcity of it. It was a truly great thing to have experienced and I feel very lucky to have been there.
By the way, the blonde lady in the backing singers is Sam Brown. She is the daughter of Joe Brown who was a famous Rock and Roll/Skiffle/Rhythm & Blues artist in the early 60's here in the UK.
Great info Martin! You are one lucky guy to have been there and watched it live.
The intro was so deep.. a travailing prayer... from the gut, the soul... lovely.. Love your reaction Bisscute
My new fave Bisscute reaction ❤
So sweet but yet so strong. Good qualities for music and people. Very sweet reaction. KEEP ROCKING. From a old but still strong man
This song represents all the thing that Pink Floyd can do in music, so many feelings and emotions in one song without any words. Simply magic...!!!
Muzicalizarea, vocalizarea și armoniile nivelează pe Dumnezeu. Adevărata artă a muzicii. Mulțumesc pentru distribuire. Salutari din Argentina.🌹🍀
You’re a beautiful and wonderful young lady Biss! You’re one of my very favorite reactors! Much luv to you 🙂💯
That instrment is called a lap steel guitar, your right, it is beautiful
it's all the universal language of the heart!
I'm really glad you had enjoyed. Was great to watch you having so much emotions.
And THAT is what an eargasm looks like!!!! 💗💗
STUDIO VERSION!!
In case knowone mentions it the first woman singing it live in this video is Sam Brown. She has sold records in her own right.
I think this is a representation of like the three steps,of dealing with death when it’s time.Damn Pink Floyd is so good.
The original vocals were Clare Tory. The initial singer on this live version is Sam Brown. Her father was a 60s pop star, Joe Brown.
