When you´re the greatest band in the known universe, you have the best background-singers ...

You really owe it to yourself to listen to the original studio track. It was performed by a studio singer by the name of Clare Torey. She was asked to vocalize without using any words, to interpret transitioning from life to death. If memory serves me correctly, she did 3 takes and they edited the final version. It is breathtaking! #DaRealADogg

Great Gig in the Sky is always a journey. Even after listening to it for 48 yrs it still gives me chills & never gets old. Thanks for the u[pload.

I absolutely LOVE how much you feel this. Pink Floyd now lives in your soul.

The original studio version strikes an emotional chord in me that no other interpretation ever matches no matter how well done.

Dark Side of the Moon is an absolute masterpiece. Greatest album ever recorded - And this coming from someone who loves Pink Floyd - but objectively not my #1 favorite band all time - maybe 5th favorite - but I confidently say this is the greatest album ever cover to cover. You owe it to yourself to listen to it - headphones - no distractions - dim room and just let the music take you where you go - your reaction to this video shows you are the type of person that can be truly moved by phenomenal music; and that's what this album is.

I bought Dark Side Of The Moon in the spring of 73', I was already a fan but I had NO idea what that album was going to do to me. I cried the first time I heard Clare Torey's voice, and I still get goosebumps some 50 years later. You HAVE to listen to the studio cut, it is beyond brilliant and to this day one of the most gut-wrenching vocal performances by anyone in any genre.

I played this album for my Mother during a long trip. She smiled after hearing this song and said, I like your music Steven. We listened to this and the Eagles greatest hits the whole trip.

I thought EVERYONE knew about the Original version by Clare Torry being the benchmark. Whoever put you onto this version did you a disservice.Not that it's bad--it's just not in the same league as the original.

Sit yourself down in a dimly lit room, incense optional, pop on Dark Side of the Moon (headphones are a must) and listen to the whole album in one go because its really just one track, everything melts together in sonic perfection. Its widely regarded as a masterpiece and arguably the greatest rock album recorded to date. It spent over 13 years sitting in the US album charts and is one of the biggest selling albums of all time. So treat yourself for about 45 minutes:). Your ears will love you for the rest of your life.

Adogg....did you get chills and did your eyes start to water??? Pink Floyd is my all time favorite band. Their concert wasn’t a concert....it was an experience. 🙏❤️

Love your reaction! There is NOTHING done by Pink Floyd that sucks. Everything they do is beyond awesome xx Favourite group ever.

YES!!! Keep that Pink Floyd comin'! 🌈💗

This song is about this woman facing death, the stages she goes through in facing the end before she accepts and becomes peaceful, or so I have been told. The whole album is an epic journey! The woman who sang on the studio track version is a different woman and she will really blow you away!

Without reading all 825 comments, because.... not my reaction video: The story behind the original recording is one of absolute wonder and amazement at what can be accomplished with talent and timing. The singer came into the studio on a contract gig, with only a general concept of what kind of vocal contribution was needed. After a brief conversation with band members and studio sound check, Clare Torrey launched into the stunningly emotional and evocative inspiration for what is done in this version by not one, but THREE singers. they were great, (and I went to a Pulse tour concert) but still, any attempt will fall short of the original. I read that the band members were absolutely dumbstruck by what they had just recorded in the studio. Clare was of course paid for her SINGLE TAKE. She left the studio, wondering if she would get a call-back for revisions, corrections, editing. But no... Her fantastic interpretation and rendition was placed on the Dark Side Of The Moon album, in it's entirety, and just as she had expressed it. A miracle, a classic, a masterpiece in translation of psyche to human voice. "Extraordinary" doesn't say enough.

The blonde is Samantha "Sam" Brown singing on this version. STOP is another good song by her, and Horse to the Water on Concert for George Harrison. FANTASTIC voice!

The singer of the original version is called Clare Torry and she was contacted to record the song without using words but only by vocalizing. In an interview Clare stated that not even Pink Floyd had any idea how she was supposed to sing, so she decided to improvise in her own way. In 2004, Torry sued both Pink Floyd and EMI for missing royalties owed to the album The Dark Side of the Moon, claiming he also contributed artistically to the song The Great Gig in the Sky (originally attributed only to Richard Wright). In early 2005, the British High Court of Justice recognized the singer's reasons as valid and declared her co-owner of the song's copyright. All records released after 2005 therefore regularly report Torry/Wright as the songwriters. Clare is also very proud that she sang the whole song on her own, while in subsequent performances she was sung by three different singers. PS Dear Pink Floyd I love you madly, but Clare is right. ;)

Pink Floyd is ABSOLUTELY worth listening to pretty much everything they’ve made. I do still recommend listening to the original version of this song as well, it’s just as impactful and so deep! It goes with the theme of that album so well which is essentially about different stages of life. This song was said to be about someone fighting to let go and cross to the other side and then accepting that it was their time. So incredible and art at its finest is what Pink Floyd is. The fact they can draw out so much thought and emotion at the same time is so beautiful.

My brother, love your reaction to The Floyd and Sam Brown. I went to see them on this tour at The Feyenoord Stadium in Rotterdam in 1994 when I was 21 years old. Listening to the band and those girls sing, what an ethereal experience, One of the best nights of my life!! Take care and never stop listening to Pink Floyd. ;))

Vocalists like these….top level talent,look who they’re on stage with…and this song is a masterpiece. ❤️🎶❤️I’m in church,all the way with these ladies….go on….

As others have said (more or less): as much as you like this, the original from the Dark Side of the Moon album, will freakin’ blow you away. I’m not criticizing you for choosing this version - it was very good - I’m just saying when you download this for your own collection, add it to your playlist, or what ever - you want the original studio version. Imagine, it took two great female vocalists, who probably rehearsed for weeks,topull off what Claire Torry pulled off, with no advance preparation, in TWO takes. They asked her to do a third and she told them she had given them her best, and man was she right. After they told her to make her voice sound like an instrument, she left later to silence, thinking she did not get ‘the job’ of appearing on the album. She later learned they were too stunned to speak. Ms Torry did not know her vocal made it onto the album until the album was in stores. Thank you so much for tackling this tune. I really enjoyed your entire reaction! Sooner or later you;re going to want to listen to the entire album, in order, with lyrics in hand. After that you may be so stunned you will need a couple weeks off :)

Sam Brown, daughter of Joe Brown, a 50/60s pop star still performing today. Often jammed and duetted on the ukulele with close friend George Harrison who gave Joe the ukulele as a present. Was given the honour of the last song at the Concert for George. Clare Torrey paid £30 for the DSOTM session, but settled for an undisclosed sum in 2015 with a credit on all future releases of the track

I just love seeing this reaction to such a stellar vocal performance....still gives me goosebumps every time i hear it

I absolutely did cry listening to this song when I realized this is what my wife felt inside when her father passed. I believe it is a vocal expression of the seven stages of acceptance: shock; denial; anger; bargaining; depression; testing; acceptance. Words unnecessary.

This was beautiful! As others have said, the studio version is even more amazing if you can believe that!

I'm not cryin! You're cryin! This is the definition of making you feel the emotions of the song without even one word! So powerful! So emotional! You won me over when you answered to the question, " How many Pink FLoyd videos you gonna do?" "ALL OF THEM!" Great job and love your honest, F what anybody thinks reactions lol

I was at that concert.........hairs on the back of my neck stood up........the best rendition of that song, apart from the studio version by Clare Torry when the album was recorded in 1973.

This song always makes me cry. Makes me think of my Dad. This will be played at my funeral.

The Dark Side Of The Moon debuted on Billboards Top 200 Albums Chart on March 17th, 1973 @ #95. It stayed on the charts for *736 weeks* until July, 1988

I love Pink Floyd from Way Back!! Their music can just take you away to another peaceful place ♡

Tears always begin to roll when these Amazing Sirens sing.......I'm a 1959 baby.......grew up with awesome band. The original of this song is even more amazing. CrankyGranny Western Australia

Great reaction! Try to find one of Pink Floyd's earliest albums 'Meddle.' I used to play it over the air when I was a DeeJay at my college radio station. (This was when Santana and Black Sabbath first emerged). P.S. Hubby and I saw Pink Floyd in concert 3 times! One time we 'inhaled'...🙂

Pink Floyd the best band that there ever was. I made sure to see them every time they toured the USA. This song is one of their very best. It is amazing to hear even after hearing it a thousand times. You aren't human if it doesn't make you feel alive. It has made me cry more than once. They make music like no other band has done before or since.

Studio recording is the most incredible performance taking into account the background of the band telling her not to use any words and to improvise with the chord changes. Amazing interpretation and sound she created is life changing.

It's the 80's, driving from Phoenix to Washington state, had to leave late to avoid the heat. Backside of California on 395 at 2am listening to this song on a full moon. It was a moment I will never forget. Back then, roads were a lot more empty, no cell phones, no gps, just me, the car, my girlfriend (now wife of 30 years) and music. Great times.

Hahaha love your reaction “how many Pink Floyd....” “ALL OF THEM!” 😍😄😍 Hell yeah!! They’re brilliant! This is my fav Pink Floyd song EVER! Moves you to the core every time you hear it 💝 Fell in love with it age 15 - im 58 now - the album, Dark Side of the Moon, one of the best ever! ❤🌏☮️

Both the original Clare Torre version in 1973 and this live version 21 years later were fabulous for different reasons. People might well prefer the original if they heard it first, of course, but each stands on its own merits. I was at this concert at Earls Court, London and the song was spine-tinglingly wonderful, as were the ladies. Let’s have love and respect for both please. 😎

The version from the album, Dark Side of the Moon, is just as beautiful and much more haunting. That vocal was complete improvisation in the studio. A masterpiece!

I was at that concert 😍 gives me goosebumps, I was in ICU for a while got all the Drs and nurses and other staff into Floyd with this song 😍

Pure female soul. It expresses ecstasy and sorrow at the same time. I love it.

I never tire of hearing this track, live recording, or the original on Vinyl, But my greatest thrill was hearing it live...

To see them live in concert was a truly life changing experience.

Yes sir, welcome to Floyd Land. Please watch your step and enjoy the rest of your emotions. Brought to in living color of Life.

Sam Brown is the first singer - well known English studio singer (mostly ) also featured in G. Harrisons memorial concert...

Oh my god! The emotions these women sang went straight to my heart. This was so beautiful. Thank you!

As soul touching as this is, the original with Clair Torrey will make you feel you've reexperienced transition. This is a true masterpiece. There truly are no words .. is an understatement. Thank you Pink Floyd- you are untouchable.

With her voice reached in wrapped her fingers around my heart and gently squeezed until I was breathless .

I have a memory of hearing this track for the first time. Driving around in the back of a friends car, 1977. I was so stoned. OFF MY FACE stoned. It blew my mind. Its been a favorite ever since.

This footage is from the Pulse live album. The three singers are in order, Sam Brown, Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine. I saw this concert in three different venues and all were spectacular.

Im at the age of 58 and i have been loving this band for my whole life. I was lucky to see 2 of there live tours.There is still alot of there music i haven't heard yet. Try some of there older music that is unlike anything most people can imagine.

The best "No words used" song ever... this is my favorite Album and i used to play them in my eight track sterio both in my car and in my room at home since i was 16 . I turn 65 this oct.8 2022. Still love to rock out to the whole album with my headphones. I also love watching you and others discover them and a few other favorites that are from my youth and enjoy them, i know, as much as i do. New subscriber...keep on truckin....

Yeah...they can belt. All the touring vocalists over the years were ... in a word.. SUPERB!

I think you would enjoy the Peter Frampton song Do you feel… from Frampton Comes Alive. It’s a super cool summer anthem great energy, great guitar, also chill to add to your driving playlist.

Thank you, ADOGG, for your actual music appreciation. It's refreshing to see American youth enjoying 1970's Psychedelia. My 2nd Concert, The Wall, February 1980, Nassau Coliseum. Awesome 👌 But the G.G.I.T.S. Song. It's a Masterpiece, located in the middle of the World's Longest Selling Concept Album, of ALL TIME!! Your choice of Live Footage from Pulse. Was exceptional 👏. I applaud your choice. The Division Bell Tour was Amazing, also. I saw the Opening Night Show, for The World Tour, in Miami......Wow!! P.s. my son was conceived after the Learning to Fly Tour, in 1987........ Enjoy, any version available of the G.G.I.T.S. Pink Floyd was the most Amazing EVER. Waters tours this Summer. And Nick Mason, too. Echos Tours sounds epic!!

No auto tune there! This is pure talent, pure vocals. We had this thing called music back in those days.

That’s exactly right! Can you even imagine just how beyond great the praise music shall be in Heaven?!!!

Her name is Sam Brown. She has a few albums of her own. She has an incredible voice. Check her videos out.

Been a Floyd fan for almost 40 years. Needless to say they are my favourite band The original singer for this track was Claire Torry The backing singers where in order of appearance. Sam Brown ( daughter of Joe Brown) Claudia Fontaine and Durga Mcbroom

And you can only imagine what the experience is like live in concert. Had the privilege of seeing them only twice in Dallas in the mid 80's

Man, I was listening to this song on my way home from work tonight. I have seen Floyd 3 times and the lady back up singers earn their place on stage! Awesome Man!

I agree that Dark Side is the best album of all time. I also agree that Clare did an amazing job on the original. It’s stunning in every sense. The one thing I really enjoy about this version is how the three different singers impart such unique flavors into the song. And they did it live. What an experience. What other band gives the background singer(s) an entire song to showcase on??

Damn Adogg, so glad that you got to hear this track with the killer female vocals, originally sung by a little redhead named Claire Torry. Trust me brother, you've got to cover Pink Floyd's Dogs next. It's from the Animals album, and it will blow you away.✌️🎵

Everybody talks about the vocals which are incredible!!!!! The song is about the experience of passing on. Every time I hear it tears fall down my face.

When you reach my age .. women singing will make you cry and you won't be able to hold back the tears .. getting older is amazing.. the song "keep talking" from the same pulse concert the guitarist David Gilmour fuses a voice box with his guitar

ÀDog, glad you like pink Floyd. This whole album is a classic. Was in high school when this came out. Still get chills from this song. All their albums are good. Your reaction is almost like mine was.

This live version is awesome. I still love the album version best though. I heard it after I took 5 grams of magic mushrooms and it was a life-changing experience. It brought me to tears. This and Comfortably Numb are my two favourite Pink Floyd songs, and two of my favourite songs of all time.

my man...this is just the back up singers...nothing else..pink floyd is this good..........and I was at this concernt....LIVE..paid 1000 for the tickets..best money I ever spent in my damn life..no joke..no lie....a night I will never forget and I fell lucky to have seen this live......Id give up many days of my life to see it again.

When you said that, "I almost cried!" My eyes were already welled up to the brim. Yeah, amazing...

Who doesn’t like Pink Floyd! Wow what a voice.

Music written by Rick Wright for a movie which the director didn't like. Clare Torey called into the studio listen to it twice and was told just to sing it with no words. She left the studio with NO idea they like it. Heard on the radio going down the road. Sam Brown nailed it along with Durga McBroom and Claudia Fontaine. Check out some of the rest songs on 'Pulse", keep atlking ( intro by Stephen Hawkings), High Hopes, Hey you, Money, us and them. actually the whole concert.

I watched your reaction now twice.....what a song. one of tghe best songs ever heard.....no words full of emotions. Awesome

Sam Brown is singing. She is the daughter of one of the UK top pop personalities from the late 50s/early 60s, Joe Brown, and he mum was Vicki Brown, a session singer with credits including David Gilmour, Roger Waters, the Kinks, Manfred Mann, Elton John, Bryan Ferry etc. Sam's own solo career included the massive hit 'Stop' (linked below). She and her father appeared in the 'Concert for George', with her singing George Harrison's 'Horse to Water'. She also sang with Deep Purple's Jon Lord, Spandau Ballet, Gary Moore etc. and was a member of (former Squeeze member) Jools Holland's R&B Orchestra, which serves as the house band for the TV programme 'Jools Holland...Later'. Sadly, a botched operation on her vocal cords left Ms. Brown unable to sing. So she formed a ukulele orchestra an runs several club for players of that instrument. Check out her other videos on KZfaq. Some wonderful stuff. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLuKpbKgxMqle4k.html

The first singer is the great Sam Brown . Sadly shes lost her singing voice and is now a ukulele teacher/player. Second voice is the equally great Durga McBroom . The third vocalist was Claudia Fontaine who has a lovely voice too !

Claire Torry is amazing. The entire album is a huge story and this part is improvised. She was singing about the process of dying. The entire album is freaking magical. 🔥

That's the meaning of singing your soul out 🎸 absolutely astounding

Being a lifelong Pink Floyd fan, I have watched many reaction videos on their music. It is good and very heartwarming to see younger people appreciate this music as I do. Of all the reaction videos I have seen, this has to be the best reaction I have seen yet. Keep listening Adogg!!

The studio track was performed by Clair Torrey. The singers on this live version is Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, and Claudia Fontayne.

You should listen to this song performed at the "delicate sound of thunder" tour. For me it is the best version of this song, besides claire torry's original whitch will always be the best forever. In this one all three voices went right through my soul. That is te song they must play at my funeral. Look it up (gonna be hard, they block almost everything), listen and be awestruck....

The most emotional lyrics that were never written . Amazing ! .

Echoes Pink Floyd tribute band Omg I know the band and they frequent my favorite local venue in Ardmore, Pa Ardmore Music Hall Seen them many times and these ladies are PHENOMENAL love ‘Echoes Pink Floyd Tribute Band ‘

You really need to listen to the studio version. It's even more amazing!

This is a masterpiece and these girls are awesome, don't get me wrong...but Clare did it in ONE take all by herself.

I was at that show. It was breathtaking then as it is today. I remember sitting there in absolute awe of what I was hearing like most everyone that was there.

Wore out the tape listening to this- I had the bbc version recorded from the broadcast.

As good as this is, the studio version that’s on the album, sung by Clare Torrey is brilliant, singing the five stages of death without a word! Getting this album in 1973 and hearing this song for the first time, I was crying!! I wore the grooves out playing this whole album repeatedly!! Go down the hole and listen from beginning to end, all Pink Floyd records are meant to be listened to front to back. ☮️❤️

Pink Floyd has been my favourite band since I was 11 years old, and got 'The Wall' on vinyl, for Christmas. That was in 1979, saw them in concert a bunch of times, without Roger Waters, unfortunately. You should also check out the original studio version of this song. The vocalist on that, Clare Torry, did it in 2 takes. In the first take, she used a word, and the band wanted her to try again without any words, the second take is what you just experienced. She was later given a writing credit and an undisclosed sum in a out-of-court settlement with the band, since she hadn't been paid much for the original performance, (50 British pounds, maybe). Personally, I think the studio-version is just so much cleaner than the live ones, and most of the live performances aren't with Clare Torry. She brought a special magic to it. Another of my favourite Pink Floyd songs that has no actual words, is "Obsured by Clouds", an instrumental, off the album of the same name, which preceded 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Other notable songs off that album, "Wots... uh, the Deal", "Stay", and "Free Four". You try and stay out of trouble :) Mark

It’s not a American band, they’re English. The ladies performing this song and hammering it into your soul were Claudia Fontaine, Durga McBroom and Sam Brown.

One of the most beautiful vocal performances ever.

this song is the "softly spoken magic spell" of the previous song; a transition from birth to death. And while this version is excellent, it doesn't hold a candle to the original... Now if ya want freaky, there are "several species of small furry animals gathered in a cave and grooving with a pict." also by Pink Floyd

I have a different take on this song, I believe she is singing all of life, from her own birth, to giving birth, to death. And of course, as good as this is, you should also listen to the studio version, which was performed by just one woman, who gave a performance that really can not be repeated as it was completely spontaneous.

Clare Torry done one take in studio.. Amazing

When u first hear the roar of the woman yelling the song U look so blown away......but that happened to me as well. The power u hear in this song is so strong u don’t need words.

OK❗ Really Really good ❗❤ But you won't believe me If I told you that no version is better than the original By CLARE TORRY It's a norther level Try it 🙏 Keep the GOOD WORK my friend ✌

I AM crying! So freakin beautiful!!! Love that you're diggin' it at the same level!

I’m from that ole skool paradigm. The Wall was such an amazing album! Every track! I used to listen to this song repeatedly back in the day. Dear Lord! 😭 That voice was the nearest thing to The Golden Gates in the Sky.

The original was way better but I can only imaging hearing this live at a concert would make the crowd freeze in awe

I went ahead and did a thumbs up on this cause your the first person I've seen doing a reaction to pink floyd. You know this is the type of music you can set back chill and just get on another level listening to there music.

The first recording of this album was released in 1969ish- took my soul as the five stages of grief were explained with no words. Alan parsons Recamended Clair torri and hit a home run .

I saw her in 87' with Floyd. Outstanding!
