I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd for 35+ years. This song still makes my heart race and brings tears to my eyes. It is the 3 stages of dying. Each singer is singing the parts. 1) Screaming and denial 2) Realization and sadness 3) Acceptance and peace I watched my Father die. For 3 days he was at stage 1. He was waiting on my sister to get there. He fought so hard, just so they could see each other one more time. I kept telling him to go…that she wasn’t gonna make it in time. He fought. She made it in time and he became very content and his breathing slowed. We sat with him and he was calm for 38 minutes. Stage 2. He took his last breath 39 minutes after my sister got there. It was so peaceful for him. Even though it was so traumatic for us…he was at peace. No pain. No struggle. Just gone. I’ll never forget it. Even though we miss him terribly, my Father was a believer and I know who came to get him. That comforts me. Thank you for this. I needed to hear this today. Sorry for the rant.
I lost my Mom and Dad to cancer....my Father in '82 and my Mother in '96. It was different for them. They had to be so medicated to keep the pain at bay that their last days were spent pretty much unconscious. You can never know exactly when the end will come in situations like that, and as it worked out, I was not present for the deaths of either one.
robert cutting , it’s not that they needed 3 vocalist to recreate Claire’s original. They just purposely had the 3 singers each perform there own rendition of their stage of death.
It is a chance for the backup singers to shine in the spotlight. They share the leads on this track. I love the original best but I appreciate they can sing it. I certainly can't
That was Samantha Brown singing the first solo. She is not the original singer from the album version but she is the greatest backup singer of all time. The greatest. I really loved her control and her power so much. Just incredible! These women are a mood for sure. They just make you feel so good Jamel. I agree!
Many recordings by Pink Floyd and The Beatles have someone important in common: The great Alan Parsons, who engineered. He also produced the Al Stewart album, “Year of the Cat” (among others), and was responsible for the arrangements played by that ever-so-tight and talented band. Parsons is one of those producers I started to recognize, as soon as I’d hear a new song. “Hmm … that sounds like an Alan Parsons production!” I’d look in the liner notes, and … sure enough. Maybe check out some of the early Alan Parsons Project releases, too!
My sisters friend used to sing (and occasionally still does) in a Pink Floyd tribute band, and she would always blow me away when this song came on!! ❤️❤️
On February 4th of this year, my 87-year-old mother died in her bedroom. She died two days before my brother was able to fly in from Taiwan and see her off. I had prayed that we would know when her final moments would be and could be around her bedside, holding her hands, praying, and giving her comforting words. Apparently, she chose to die alone. I've been told this is not uncommon. She had caught covid in January, which had progressed to pneumonia. She had been in and out of the hospital several times. Mom had bouts of contention, disorientation, and impatience, classic signs of dementia. That morning, I was on my computer and my sister tapped me on the shoulder. I turned and saw her fighting tears. She said, "Mom's gone." I thought she meant that they had taken her back to the hospital. Then my sister whispered, "She's gone to be with Jesus." That instant was so surreal to me. Then she asked, "Do you want to go see her?" I nodded and went to her bedside. The home-visiting nurse found her lying on her left side, her eyes and mouth half-closed; her left hand to her forehead. I lay down beside my mother, and she was so cold. That's when the reality hit me. I realized that as I was hugging her, for the first time in my fifty-six years of life, she couldn't hug me back. What struck me the most is that I had expected to see her with a peaceful smile on her lips. But she just simply looked exhausted. Now I'm dealing with all the holes-- places where I expect to see her. For some reason, I've been drawn to this song. I love Pink Floyd, but it seems that this song just popped up at random on my RUclips suggestions. Now I can't stop listening to it. I figured it out, I think. The vocals in this song is the sound my soul is making right now.
When they started touring again with the Momentary Lapse of Reason album in 1988 they brought three background singers with them and each one of them gets to sing a part as well as support the new songs and classics from Darkside.
I'm so happy you have an old soul, brother. When I see people experience these songs and videos and say "eh" I feel sorry for them, because they don't even realize what they are missing. To be able to enjoy this stuff all through your body and mind is the best high ever. Who needs drugs? Peace, my man.
This footage looks like it's from the Pulse live album, in which case the three singers are Sam Brown, Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine. I love the original studio version but this live version is great for different reasons. It doesn't necessarily take all three singers for the vocal part but in doing it this way allows for different creative interpretation of the original and changing feel as the vocal solo progresses. Performing live does not mean recreating the original studio version note for note, beat for beat.
Sam could have done it on her own she's brilliant... But I think it has to be inclusive... Don't see the need to compare... different to studio... The live version offers something different... Not better 👍🇬🇧
Quite simply my man we grew up listening to the best music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and today we enjoy seeing you young folk discover the beauty of what we have always known.
"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 don't fault anyone for their music choices, but my personal favorite version of this is live. Whether they do it or not, any manner of magic can be performed in a studio. Live is always simply pure talent. Just my two cents.
I often find that I enjoy both, for different reasons. The studio versions showcase "master craftsmanship", as it were, and in the hands of talented musicians and recording engineers, you can get amazing things that simply could never be done live. But, yes -- the live versions tell you whether or not those musicians have *real* talent, or if it's *only* the studio magic that makes them so. Plus, some bands are just so much *fun* to see live, because the musicians themselves are obviously having so much fun doing it. Patrick Simmons of the Doobie Brothers always has this huge grin on his face in live performances, like he's just having the best time of his life every night he gets to play for a crowd. :)
@@ballyastrocade5672 Thank you for saying this. I am so tired to hear the other fans praising Clare to no end and bashing this version which is much better on my opinion. I like the studio version too. But this is so much clearer and the emotion is conveyed better for that reason, and the end note.. is like no other.
@@wpollock1 Honestly, I can't really remember. It was before I played music, so I don't think I even thought like that then. Obviously, the place was huge.
I saw Brit Floyd, a world renowned Pink Floyd tribute band, at Red Rocks a couple of years ago. They were amazing and put on a great show. The highlight of the night though was this song. They had the 3 girls just like Pink Floyd but only 1 of them sang this. She was spot on to the original studio version! I mean she absolutely nailed it! People were crying and she got the only standing ovation of the night! Anyone who might know what her name is please let me know!
Got a chance to serve George dinner at the Tower of the Americas back in '85. He had a cute groupie with him and when I brought him his Jack Daniels I told him I couldn't serve it to him. When he asked why, I said, "Because,...you drink alone." He smiled and I gave him the drink.
I was raised on Pink Floyd and many other rock bands from that era but they are by far my ultimate favorite. It makes me miss my childhood TBH because before I really had any concept of time or days of the week, I knew it was Sunday because my dad always cranked Pink Floyd on the tower speakers and worked around the house, garage, etc. And that was his only day off and it was family day. I don't remember much of my childhood but I always remember that when I hear them. And yes, you should literally react to all of their songs. 💓 Watching you react to music.
Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, and Claudia Fontaine: pretty damn good tribute to Clare Torry. The female voice can cry and touch your soul like no other instrument.
To do this live, they needed 3 singers, thats a testament to how incredible the original singer is. (original singer for the studio version is Clare Torry) Thnx Jamel :D
God I've been listening to this for almost 30 years and it still gives me chills. They are one-of-a-kind for sure. Legends. This song literally hits you in your soul. Wow
A wonderful example of how you can put emotion into vocals and music without ever saying a word. It's not often that backup and session singers get a chance to shine like this.
It's kind of rare, a song with no lyrics but just screaming. But then those scream with full emotion. Fit so right with the music, piano, organ etc. One of my all time favourites even after so many decades, still love to listen to it with maximum volume. The studio version by all means is the best. But these ladies nailed it very well. Bravo...
One of the most gripping songs, by one of the greatest bands, at their finest concert ever...very, very hard to top what comes from a combination like that. I get goosebumps just thinking about Claire Torrey walking into the studio and improvising that masterpiece--in one take. No one had any idea that something like that was even possible. Until she did it.
Roger Waters was supposed to be touring this year, until Covid hit. It will probably be pushed to next year. He has been active over the years. I went to his shows every few years or so in the last 20 years. David less so, but he did have a few solo tours since Pulse, last one at around 2016 I believe. I went to one of those concerts. His Pompeii show was from that tour. I don't think we'll see them together again on stage, but we said that after the 80's and it did happen a few times, although it took some special occasions to make it happen. So yeah, pigs do fly sometimes.
@@PickupthePieces76 There is absolutely ZERO chance they will reunite. I was supposed to see the The Wall tour I think it was 2 years ago. Had great tickets and got super sick and couldn't make the concert. Biggest musical regret of my life.
I'm highly biased on this song because once you hear Clare Torry sing, and I mean like 500 times, no one else will come close. So I think this is a beautiful version but it just doesn't touch Clare.
No joke on the 500 times. I never tire of it. Just wish I could wail out parts of it like I used to 30 odd years ago, was so satisfying and soul cleansing.
As far as any of the live versions of this song, THIS ONE seems to always be overlooked. It was from the Delicate Sound of Thunder live record, when they were touring for their record, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. I truly believe this tour had THE BEST backup band line up and backing vocalists they ever had!! Please let me know what you think!! Also, react to "Money" from this show. Gilmour was at his very best! ruclips.net/video/fl4KOi8yfuA/видео.html
ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU. Saw this tour in 89 in Seattle Wa and what a show it was. This song and DOGS OF WAR are my favorite, hell, I take that back that whole dam concert was a mind blower!!!
@@rjstrey1815 I saw them on this tour at the Oakland Coliseum. Also saw them on the next tour for The Division Bell, and although the live production was better, the music and band performance from the Delicate Sound of Thunder was better!! I'm glad you agree!! 😁🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼
Delicate Sound of Thunder's cut was the first version of this song I ever heard and it's still my favorite. That entire concert is so SO good, I'm so glad there's finally a remaster.
Been to that Tour in Germany 1994. What a blast! Been exposed to Floyd by my Dad, as one of the first Music i heard, next to Kraftwerk an Jean Michel Jarre in the late 70's/early 80's. My Dad died in 2007. We had a Printshop, so i made our Own Letters anouncing his Dad to Friends and Family. Instead of a Psalm we wrote on it: 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 On his last way from the Chapel to the grave we played Wish you where here and Great Gig in the Sky 300 people followed us, i bet most of em never heard this Track, but i doubt anyone can forget ist, tat was there that Day. It took me nealy 12 Years to be able to hear it and not overcome with Grief an Pain ntil i went to the Pink Floyd Exhibition in Dortmund, Germany. I nearly meditated before the Installation and heard it 4 times ... and made my piece with it. Thanks to bring back the memories, cause the hurt me no more.
I seen them live in South Philly 84 or 85 I ain't been right since you'll never get no garbage out of Pink Floyd all top quality music all the time every time
John Campbell it was 3 takes in pretty sure. The first one they scrapped then she did it again all the way through. And the. She did one more but half way through she stopped and said “that’s all I can do”
6'5" - You continue to kill it, brother. I'm still holding out for some Little Feat!! Dixie Chicken, Rock & Roll Doctor, Willin'. The Feat won't let you down, J. 👍🏻
I was lucky enough to have seen this tour on May 1,1994 in Birmingham, AL and May 3,1994 in Atlanta, GA. The most incredible experience I’ve ever witnessed to have experienced!
Nothing at all against these ladies, they sound amazing, but Clare Torry could EASILY hit a lot of the notes that they're not hitting live. That part in the beginning that made you pull back - Clare was doing a BUNCH of that on the original. Possibly the most emotional song I've ever listened to. Awesome reaction as always though!
@@Pulsar77 Considering there's almost a 20 year difference between her original performance and that one, it's unfair to expect her voice to be in the exact perfect 1973 condition. These ladies have the advantage of youth.
Claire's original version of this came straight from her soul and spoke to the souls of Millions of people who heard this on the Pink Floyd album and though many try to imitate her let's never forget it came right from her soul and no one else's
Simply amazing voice. I took my son to see Brit Floyd, the greatest tribute band to Pink Floyd, and the lady who sings this nails it. I knew I was doing ok as a father when my 12 year old son took a video of her singing and said “Dad, she’s amazing.....I have goosebumps.”
man even David Gilmore was watching those ladies. How can you even write something like this. Ive hears this 100s of times but this is the first time Ive watched it. AMAZING. thanks Jamal.
2:51 "don't you dare to pause the video" :D Please! React to Pink Floyd's"Marooned" (the 2014 remastered vinyl: ruclips.net/video/dIv5xQVIKjY/видео.html ). It's instrumental, and it will blow your soul away just like this. Great reaction, thanks!
I’ve only have seen 1 video on RUclips that has Clair singing her part. It was audio of a concert in the UK back in 1973. After searching I found her singing this part live with Pink Floyd in 1990 with good video quality.
Want to be there? Pull up one of their ENTIRE concerts, kick back in your favorite chair with your favorite beverage, and grab the headphones. ENJOY THE TRIP!
The way he just stopped to watch her singing at the end, reminds me of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers doing 'Melinda.' They used to just stop and watch Benmont Tench do wild on his piano solo on that track. RIP Tom Petty. Also, great shirt!
Brings me to tears every time. I’ve been listening to this stuff since I was a kid. It’s always been a part of my life. I’m kind of jealous that you get to experience all of this as an adult for the first time. For me, it’s just always been there. Love your videos.

Thks for the share. Nothing in this universe is permanent. Even death is only a phase. I wish you a blissful life 🙏🏿🙏🏿
I love the original, but these ladies did a good job, and there's just something about the energy of a live performance.
Claire's vocals on original were improvised on the spot. She didnt hear the final result until she seen the album in a shop window and bought it.
True. These ladies are great, BUT Claire Tory, fraking amazing! I'm 65, & I still get soooo emotional listening to this
The Vocalist on This tour though was
Claudia Fontaine (26 August 1960 - 13 March 2018)
May she rest in Peace
Sam Brown is the blond singer, and Durgha McBroom is the second singer to take over, and Claudia was the third.
their was 3.
@@chrislc35 Yes, there were. Because it took three women to take the place of Clare Torry
@@Ironhandjohn Thank you
She was killed in a tragic "Wailing" accident. I'll let myself out now.
I just love a the end, when David just stops playing looks back and enjoys a little moment. it was framed so well.
that circle of light was a recurring element of their stage shows
I love watching David sitting back at the end and just watching and enjoying the beauty of it.
Looks like they needed 3 ladies to recreate this masterpiece live. Bravo ladies!

They tried to recreate it but they failed. The live version is disappointing. Not a bad performance, but nowhere near the same as the original.
Clare Torry doesn't even do a great job at recreating the original live so what you're saying is absurd
That was Samantha Brown singing the first solo. She is not the original singer from the album version but she is the greatest backup singer of all time. The greatest. I really loved her control and her power so much. Just incredible! These women are a mood for sure. They just make you feel so good Jamel. I agree!
Pink Floyd is one my ultimate favorite bands of all time and this is classic. Gives me chills every time !
I literally involuntarily cry every time I hear this song.
Same happens with me
Same
47 years later and I still get the chills!
The album came out the year I was born. I'm 43.
Right. The first time I heard it I was 17 or 18. Wept like a baby.
This song will never get old!
"Look how he's looking at her." He is appreciating the sheer talent he has on his stage. He is feeling pretty proud, I bet

Exactly!!!!!
The ladies in this live version were Sam Brown (check out her 1980s hit "Stop!"), Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine.
R.I.P. Claudia Fontaine
These ladies were brilliant singers, Clare Torry was special.
You notice for live they needed multiple singers to take Clare Torrey's place

Didn’t touch clare’s version.
I'll always prefer the studio version, but these girls did it justice.
They're women.
Personally I actually prefer the live version. I like how there's 3 of them and they each have their own representation.
The best vocal solos ever and not a single word. Come on now. wow !

There are interviews / documentaries on RUclips with Claire Torry if you want to see her. It takes a team to even try getting to where she went.

To do this live, they needed 3 singers, thats a testament to how incredible the original singer is. (original singer for the studio version is Clare Torry)
Thnx Jamel :D
God I've been listening to this for almost 30 years and it still gives me chills. They are one-of-a-kind for sure. Legends. This song literally hits you in your soul. Wow
I mean all the singer's are so beautiful! ❤
The original recorded version IS gorgeous, but, for me, nothing beats the live recordings in concert....
❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️
If I’m correct, Claire Torrey was told “Sing like you’re dying...” when asked what to do on the track
except the singer is not the one dying. she is reacting to the death of a parent, the three acts are anger, grief and sad acceptance.
I believe she was told to “think about death”
@@jonnylumberjack6223 I never knew that. Thanks
A wonderful example of how you can put emotion into vocals and music without ever saying a word. It's not often that backup and session singers get a chance to shine like this.
It's kind of rare, a song with no lyrics but just screaming. But then those scream with full emotion. Fit so right with the music, piano, organ etc. One of my all time favourites even after so many decades, still love to listen to it with maximum volume. The studio version by all means is the best. But these ladies nailed it very well. Bravo...
Please check out “ Coming back to life” by Pink Floyd please
Good call - I'll second that! The guitar in the intro is staggering. Some of Gilmour's best work in my book.
Hermano, no entiendo ni hablo inglés pero sólo vi el título de la canción y es de las mejores!
@@tffrancisquez294 La verdad si junto con Marooned que es otro rolón
@Gary Morin Amigo estoy escuchando la canción y realmente te transmite a otra dimensión, me quedé impactado. Love and peace ✌🏼for the nation's
Yep, original vocal was Claire Torrey , took over 30 years for her to get paid for it
No words needed….. speaks to my heart…
One of the most gripping songs, by one of the greatest bands, at their finest concert ever...very, very hard to top what comes from a combination like that. I get goosebumps just thinking about Claire Torrey walking into the studio and improvising that masterpiece--in one take. No one had any idea that something like that was even possible. Until she did it.
It makes me extremely sad to know there’s only 3 of the og members left. 😔
I'm even sadder because they will probably never see a stage solo let alone as PF.
Roger Waters was supposed to be touring this year, until Covid hit. It will probably be pushed to next year. He has been active over the years. I went to his shows every few years or so in the last 20 years.
David less so, but he did have a few solo tours since Pulse, last one at around 2016 I believe. I went to one of those concerts. His Pompeii show was from that tour.
I don't think we'll see them together again on stage, but we said that after the 80's and it did happen a few times, although it took some special occasions to make it happen. So yeah, pigs do fly sometimes.
@@PickupthePieces76 There is absolutely ZERO chance they will reunite. I was supposed to see the The Wall tour I think it was 2 years ago. Had great tickets and got super sick and couldn't make the concert. Biggest musical regret of my life.
If you're ever able to see Brit Floyd I highly recommend them. It's the best Pink Floyd tribute band you'll ever see.
They are amazing.
I have seen Brit Floyd live, and it was unforgettable. PF gave them their own videos and told Brit Floyd they could use them in their concerts.
I grew up with Floyd. Heard every song 1000's of times. Heard Money so many times the second I hear it I turn station. But this song never gets old.
This is a excellent example of good music doesn't even need words.
I'm highly biased on this song because once you hear Clare Torry sing, and I mean like 500 times, no one else will come close. So I think this is a beautiful version but it just doesn't touch Clare.
No joke on the 500 times. I never tire of it. Just wish I could wail out parts of it like I used to 30 odd years ago, was so satisfying and soul cleansing.
Agreed it’s not even close.
I agree
As far as any of the live versions of this song, THIS ONE seems to always be overlooked. It was from the Delicate Sound of Thunder live record, when they were touring for their record, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. I truly believe this tour had THE BEST backup band line up and backing vocalists they ever had!! Please let me know what you think!! Also, react to "Money" from this show. Gilmour was at his very best! ruclips.net/video/fl4KOi8yfuA/видео.html
ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU. Saw this tour in 89 in Seattle Wa and what a show it was. This song and DOGS OF WAR are my favorite, hell, I take that back that whole dam concert was a mind blower!!!
@@rjstrey1815 I saw them on this tour at the Oakland Coliseum. Also saw them on the next tour for The Division Bell, and although the live production was better, the music and band performance from the Delicate Sound of Thunder was better!! I'm glad you agree!! 😁🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼
Delicate Sound of Thunder's cut was the first version of this song I ever heard and it's still my favorite. That entire concert is so SO good, I'm so glad there's finally a remaster.
@Crown Commando I was in that same crowd in Texas Stadium. :) Great concert huh?
@Crown Commando great reason to make a trip. I hope your friend enjoyed the show.
Been to that Tour in Germany 1994. What a blast! Been exposed to Floyd by my Dad, as one of the first Music i heard, next to Kraftwerk an Jean Michel Jarre in the late 70's/early 80's.
My Dad died in 2007. We had a Printshop, so i made our Own Letters anouncing his Dad to Friends and Family. Instead of a Psalm we wrote on it:
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
On his last way from the Chapel to the grave we played
Wish you where here
and
Great Gig in the Sky
300 people followed us, i bet most of em never heard this Track, but i doubt anyone can forget ist, tat was there that Day.
It took me nealy 12 Years to be able to hear it and not overcome with Grief an Pain ntil i went to the Pink Floyd Exhibition in Dortmund, Germany.
I nearly meditated before the Installation and heard it 4 times ... and made my piece with it.
Thanks to bring back the memories, cause the hurt me no more.
RIP Claudia Fontaine. I didn't see this particular performance but I saw the show at a different venue. Spectacular.
This song really touches the heart. I'd love to hear you listen to the song Brandy by Looking Glass
I think you’re a top reactor on you tube .. all authentic!
I seen them live in South Philly 84 or 85 I ain't been right since you'll never get no garbage out of Pink Floyd all top quality music all the time every time
Tour is pulse, best live Performance ever, best wishes from germany
Well.....that’s talent.
I prefer Claire Torrey. There's nothing like the real thing.
I takes three singers to do half as well, what Claire Torry did perfectly, and in one take.
@@TwistedSither The one take turned out to be a myth.
The ladies sing just as well.. Think if it as a triple-Torrey-treat ;-)
John Campbell it was 3 takes in pretty sure. The first one they scrapped then she did it again all the way through. And the. She did one more but half way through she stopped and said “that’s all I can do”
Studio version it's heavenly🌌,but this live version it's so powerful!!🌋🌋
Damn. Still got goosebumps. HOW?? It happens every time and I'm not just saying that. I really get full chills. Unreal
Learning to fly, Sorrow, and One of these days. Any of these Live from the 1994 Pulse tour will blow your socks off!
6'5" - You continue to kill it, brother. I'm still holding out for some Little Feat!! Dixie Chicken, Rock & Roll Doctor, Willin'. The Feat won't let you down, J. 👍🏻
Yes, Completely agree, he really does have to experience Little feat. I think it's about time...
Waiting for Columbus Live for sure...
Stephen Puccini, don’t forget about Spanish Moon, All that you Dream, Time Loves a Hero Red Streamliner and list goes on and on!!!
Never, ever, forget about the "Fat Man in the Bathtub!"------------- a Fat Man
@@armadillotoe I am the Fatman In the Bathtub!! 😆
The studio recording you heard was done by a white British Singer.
I was lucky enough to have seen this tour on May 1,1994 in Birmingham, AL and May 3,1994 in Atlanta, GA. The most incredible experience I’ve ever witnessed to have experienced!
Those are different backup singers than on the studio album, 20+ years. Beautiful reaction.
You should listen the album
"A momentary lapse of reason "
My favorite song of this one is
"Dogs of War"
I saw them do this song live! SHIVERS I'll never forget that! David was ON!
He definitely needs to react to Dogs of war!
I like on the turning away.
@@lawrencesilver4661 is a good one too
Terminal Frost is one of my favourite instrumental songs.
Beautiful. They are amazing, but the original version with Clare Torry is the best.
Have listened to this since I am 17 omg I just got goose bumps. My favorite album the first time I heard and I still feel the same.
The studio recording is the best. It was perfect and you cannot beat perfection.
please react to pink floyd “echoes” live in gdansk
Nothing at all against these ladies, they sound amazing, but Clare Torry could EASILY hit a lot of the notes that they're not hitting live. That part in the beginning that made you pull back - Clare was doing a BUNCH of that on the original. Possibly the most emotional song I've ever listened to.
Awesome reaction as always though!
You mean like this: ruclips.net/video/WI0ZgUCmj8w/видео.html
Clare's attempt to sing it live was embarrassing as hell. These singers are FAR better.
@@Pulsar77 Considering there's almost a 20 year difference between her original performance and that one, it's unfair to expect her voice to be in the exact perfect 1973 condition. These ladies have the advantage of youth.
Claire's original version of this came straight from her soul and spoke to the souls of Millions of people who heard this on the Pink Floyd album and though many try to imitate her let's never forget it came right from her soul and no one else's
Simply amazing voice. I took my son to see Brit Floyd, the greatest tribute band to Pink Floyd, and the lady who sings this nails it. I knew I was doing ok as a father when my 12 year old son took a video of her singing and said “Dad, she’s amazing.....I have goosebumps.”
man even David Gilmore was watching those ladies. How can you even write something like this. Ive hears this 100s of times but this is the first time Ive watched it. AMAZING. thanks Jamal.
2:07.... yup, it's a white girl....LMAO!!!
2:51 "don't you dare to pause the video" :D
Please! React to Pink Floyd's"Marooned" (the 2014 remastered vinyl: ruclips.net/video/dIv5xQVIKjY/видео.html ). It's instrumental, and it will blow your soul away just like this. Great reaction, thanks!
Yes! Please do Marooned!
I’ve only have seen 1 video on RUclips that has Clair singing her part. It was audio of a concert in the UK back in 1973. After searching I found her singing this part live with Pink Floyd in 1990 with good video quality.
Saw them live outside in the pouring rain. Best show ever!
Want to be there? Pull up one of their ENTIRE concerts, kick back in your favorite chair with your favorite beverage, and grab the headphones. ENJOY THE TRIP!
his recoil & look when sam brown just destroys spacetime when she hits that note made me lol real good
The way he just stopped to watch her singing at the end, reminds me of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers doing 'Melinda.' They used to just stop and watch Benmont Tench do wild on his piano solo on that track. RIP Tom Petty.
Also, great shirt!
My god- I don't care how many times I hear this, but it's tough to watch ('cuz I have to keep wiping the tears from my eyes!) GREAT reaction vid!
It’s a gift from God that I have seen this live. 💜
Some of the best live singers have tried and face planted on this. Fun to see them try. Clare was a force of nature that can't be duplicated.
This song is about passing on :( every time I here it tears fall down my face.
I agree. Hearing Claire Torry on the original and seeing these other women live are both great experiences.
Brings me to tears every time. I’ve been listening to this stuff since I was a kid. It’s always been a part of my life. I’m kind of jealous that you get to experience all of this as an adult for the first time. For me, it’s just always been there. Love your videos.
The first singer had me in tears.
They brought in sista. U got me obsessed with this live mix. Chills up & down the fin spine
