This is the third time I've ever heard Pink Floyd, and there will be much more to come. Their composition, the musicality and story they tell with each song I've heard has been exquisite. I can't tell you how excited I am to finally release this to you!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Pink Floyd performing for the first time, "The Great Gig In The Sky".

I hear all of you, and I apologize for not picking the original version of this song. Much akin to what I did with Comfortably Numb (I heard it first on a Patreon playlist, then analyzed it after the fact), I will put the original "The Great Gig In The Sky" on my recording list featuring Claire Torry very soon, and will start the copyright clearing process.

Clare Torry's original studio version was one of those unique moments in time when the cosmos aligned and subsequent attempts to duplicate it, no matter how well done, will never match it. It's just one of those extremely rare moments that can never be replicated.

All versions are great. Claire Torry doing original is the greatest.

When I first did it on Delicate Sound Of Thunder with Rachel Fury and Machan Taylor, we stayed much closer to the original. On this version, Sam and Claudia really made it more their own. I’ve grown into my own interpretation as well. The section that Sam is singing is when you first learn that you’re dying and you’re raging at God. The second section that I sing is when you’re gripped with that deep sadness. The third section that Claudia sings is when you finally find acceptance (May she Rest In Peace). When Richard Wright knew that he was going to die, he actually set aside funds to fly me to his memorial service, because of anyone who’s ever sung this, he wanted me to sing it for him on that day. Thank you so much for the kind words.

FYI: the instrument David is playing is not a synthesizer. It's a lap-steel guitar. The strings are not fretted like a standard guitar with the left hand - they are brought out with a steel or glass "slide" after being plucked with the right-hand fingers.

All versions are good, but you should listen to Clare Torry's original from the album as well. It can't help but give you the feels.

I've become friends with Clare Torry in recent years, and even in her 70's her voice is just as incredible. She told me that she went to Abbey Road with her new boyfriend, not knowing or caring about who Pink Floyd were at the time. They didn't have a clue what they wanted, so she just let rip in what she described as a lust-fueled performance - kind of showing off to her boyfriend in the Control room. After the second take she attempted a third, but told them she couldn't do anything better, and within an hour she was having dinner out in London, and promptly forgot about the session until the album was on the shelves and doing rather well. She wouldn't tell me what the settlement was, but she's on good terms with them all and has some amazing first edition pressings given to her by EMI. She misses those exciting times when London was buzzing with new music and lots of session work, and she now lives alone in South West London having lost her husband a few years ago. She's a real fire cracker, says it how it is, and has a lot of cool stories.

The original studio version is literally the sound of the soul being ripped from the body. It's irreplicable.

While this version is staggering, the original studio version is simply other worldly. You MUST do a critique on THAT version. You will flip your wig.

@jamesburnett6247

Can you imagine being a teenager in 1973, a friend says, ‘have heard the new Pink Floyd?’… ‘Pink who?’… puts on DSOM record, the needle hits the vinyl & suddenly your spirit is whisked away for 42 minutes and 50 seconds into another plane of existence.

I'm sorry. Any version other than Claire's just doesn't compare.

@cmmswebbased

I was in the studio, when Clare did this, she was just warming up. David said, relax an go with whatever you feel is right. She apologized for the advice and asked what should she do. Well, thats perfect.

@Leo-xs7yg

The way Elizabeth Zharoff is analyzing the singing is something to watch. Her whole face and eyes are into the music and voice, reflecting them with subtle emotions of being immersed in sound. Such pleasant angle of real music, sound, and quality among junk sounds overwhelming today's music mainstream.

welcome to Pink Floyd. as everyone has mentioned original version is the benchmark.

I hope this helps you understand this song. The song before it on the album, "Time", is about how time flies by and suddenly one realizes that so much of life has passesdwithout us knowing it. This song is about the process of accepting one's own death. At 65 years old, this moves me to tears as it did when I was in high school, but now I know why.

The second singeer is Durga McBroom. I think, this is her moost stunning performance. Sooo much feeling in this part. Its feels like something in the universe is created from scratch. This gives me goosebumbs, everytime I hear this.

It all starts with the keys that Richard Wright lays down - the most underrated pianist ever.

Hi Elizabeth, the narration is the same sample used on the original recording. It's an employee at Abbey Road Studios, the doorman actually! His name was Gerry O'Driscoll. They went around asking people their thoughts about dying, (which is what the song is about ironically written by Richard) and they recorded their responses to put on the track. Love your channel by the way. Your genuine enthusiasm and energy is really lovely.

In 7th grade music class, our teacher turned out the classroom lights, told us to rest our heads on our desks, and close our eyes. She was going to play some music her son had brought home from college. Then we all listened to Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. Best class period ever and still a vivid memory nearly 50 years later! RIP Mrs. S.

Claire Torry recorded this masterpiece on the 2nd take. One of the most incredible performances in music history. It takes 3 women to do it live. Claire did it by herself, on the fly, and all by instinct. Just marvelous.
