This is Celestial Voices, the last section of the suite A Saucerful Of Secrets, played live at Royal Albert Hall the 26th of June 1969, as the last part of the concept gig The Man And The Journey.
To me, this is the most beautiful version of this piece.
It's being played by the Floyd, accompaigned by an orchestra and a choir.
I find it tremendously breath-taking, especially when the choir starts...
Unfortunately, this is the best version circulating, and actually, there is no video shot of the event!
This is the infamous concert that caused a ban to the Floyd, for "damaging" the hall.
During the gig, there was a man masked as a Gorilla, that wandered around making soap bubbles and at the end of Celestial Voices they set off two cannons (you can hear one of them at the end of this track)

This was one of the piece of music we played for our wedding 50 years ago. This one was played as we came out of the church. We also played the flute part of Grand Vizier garden party after reading a poem by Tagore.

I heard something similar on a "white out" dose of magic mushrooms, it was the most euphoric experience I have ever had by far. It was as if my consciousness was transported to a dimension of pure positive energy, sadly I only have hazy memories of it.

This was a most moving experience, at the end the audience would not let them leave the stage, the band were adamant that after this piece of music there was nothing else that would do anything but bring the whole experience down. However after what seemed like 10 minutes of non stop encore demands they relented and played a sublime version of set the controls for the heart of the sun. Richard wright was playing the Royal Albert Hall organ on this.

La profundidad estética de esta melodía me conmueve hasta el dolor..., es una queja, una queja del hombre contemporáneo ante un mundo de individuos sin solidaria cercanía..., un mundo en el que la eficacia y el valor de lo material se imponen sobre el reconociiento recíproco entre personas... un mundo en el que el punetazo y la bofetada son más que una palabra y un encuentro entre personas que no quieren ver nuestra vulnerabilidad y precariedad hoy. Crisis energética grave, altos niveles de contaminación ambiental con su correlativo calentamiento global; super población y un sistema de organización mundial que no tiene rostro y que no tiene razones para ofrecer a millones de seres humanos que quedan sin empleo por las crisis económicas o financieras... no sé, creo que hablo más de lo que debo cuando escucho a los Pinks con esta belleza de canción. Gracias por colgarla y compartirla Arber.

Non. Il y eut quelques représentations avec ces deux pièces conceptuelles. Et ils ont joué "The Man" pour la dernière fois à Paris au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées les 22 et 23 janvier 1970. À cette occasion, ils ont présenté pour la 2ème ou 3ème fois une version précoce mais déjà très réussie de Atom heart Mother.

@charlesberg6969 5 жыл бұрын

Pas sûr du tout. Rick Wright était tout à fait capable de concevoir des arrangements adéquats sur cette suite d'accords dont il était l'auteur. Dans nulle biographie du groupe il n'est fait mention de l'apport de Ron Geesin avant le printemps 1970 pour l'élaboration de Atom Heart Mother (qui, à mon avis, était déjà très bien sans son intervention)/

That's because you have taste. I have scores of different recordings of "A Saucerful of Secrets," and this is the only one with a choir and orchestra joining Floyd. There is one (14APR71, Rotterdam) that features Roger doing a "Pict" rant in the part immediately before the "Celestial Voices" part. That particular one is also the longest known performance of the piece, a whopping 28 minutes long!

He just used the cover from the Great Dane CD for a nice background for a completely different performance. btw...I also have the Great Dane CD, although a much better recording (pre-FM) from the exact same performance surfaced 15-20 years ago that was on many downloadable bootleg recordings, finally getting an official release on Pink Floyd's "The Early Years" box set.
