This track comes out the album "Dark side of the Moon" (released in 1973) and it's a part of the story told by the album. The tracks flow into each other and talk about the current problems of the life in a chronologic way because it starts of with the birth, war, time, the fear of death (with Great gig in the sky !!!), money, relationships with others, mental health ... I hardly recommand you to listen to this album in its entirety or, at least, to listen to the tracks in order. You are going to love it, I'm pretty sure. You have listened to "Dogs" of the "Animals" album, this one speaks about bussinessmen (Dogs), politicians (Pigs) and the compliant people (Sheep) in the order I just wrote you. You have a lot to listen to from Pink Floyd and from other bands of the 1970's (Genesis, Supertramp, Yes, Led Zeppelin ...)

This version is ok, they did their best but it doesn't come nowhere near Clare Tory's original studio version, there have been several attempts over the years by different singers to recreate this emotive masterpiece, but through no fault of their own have never been able to capture the raw powerful and emotional meaning of this song, and also, the difficulty in recreating it is the fact that all the vocals were improvised, in a later interview by Clare she said that she tried to improvise using words, but it wasn't the sound they were looking for so she thought of herself as an instrument, and the rest is history✌

Yeah hi Sevsimo did someone request this live performance? Because you've you picked the wrong version buddy. You really need to hear the audio version first because the audio version is sung by one single person - woman named Clare Tori. She stands head and shoulders above the live versions, fortunately. I would seriously suggest you check that out. But I really appreciate you looking into this song, it's one of their classics, and when you hear the original you'll understand why. Well done for the reaction and will catch you on the flipside hopefully in Cronulla. What the story is here, is that this is a song from around the middle of the album Dark Side of the Moon. It's probably the most famous album ever produced ever. It was on the Billboard 200 charts for more than 900 weeks which is something like 14 years or something. And the album is all meant to be listen to in its entirety in one sitting, which is something you could really look at doing. You'd sit and record it all the way through and then you might release the songs individually in their order on KZitem, which others have done. I suggest you seriously consider doing this, because the album treats, or kind of makes comment on the human condition on life. It makes comments on Birth, the busyness of life, how time in passes, and on death, which is what this song is all about. The second side of the record, because it was produced in 1973, was actually released on vinyl, the second side deals more with the pressure off Money, its the influences on a persons psyche and how that might impact person to become insane. This is a reflection of what happened to the former band member Syd Barrett. So it's a very personal album for the band as is their next album Wish You Were Here, which includes the song you listened to: Shine On You Crazy Diamond. I hope the steers you in the right direction, and that you can consider doing a full sitting of the album dark side of the Moon. People have done it before and released it all in its entirety and gotten away with it so I think you should be able to do that too. Cheers

This song, as with all of the others on Dark Side need to be listened to in the context of the whole album. Dark Side of the Moon explores the feeling and meaning behind all life experiences, which human emotions are triggered by them and how the 7 deadly sins envy, gluttony, greed or avarice, lust, pride, sloth, and wrath can influence them. A lot of people interpret The Great Gig in the Sky an instrumental and vocal expression of the five stages of dying denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Words wouldn't have done it justice because this is a highly emotional time in someone's life. On the album version Claire Tory sings the vocals on the entire song and she did it in two takes. She was unsure about what she had done and got very little feedback from the band. They simply told her what she did was fine and there was no need for further recording. She initially got paid 30 pounds for her work, which was the standard fee for a session musician at the time. Because the vocal part was her own material, however, she did eventually sue the band for writing credit and won an undisclosed amount. The album version is easily one of the most iconic songs in all of music history and is well worth a re-listen.

The more I hear this, the more i am amazed that Clare Torrey Accomplished what now can be analyzed as the stages of death in the various stages. How did she do it, in 2 takes. Did she do what she did knowing the title beforehand, or not. Did PF name it after the fact? Whatever, this has certainly become a phenomenon, hasn't it? And, most reactors don't seem to know that the term gig in the sky is like when you go to heaven. That was easily known by everyone 50 years ago when this was created. If these people reacting to this knew beforehand that the song was about death, Most would have quite a more profound reaction.

The song deals with death. Specifically, your own death. The speaker at the beginning of the song describes how he is not frightened of dying. The three verses represent the anger and rage of being confronted with the reality of your situation. The second verses is sadness that your life is coming to an end. The third verse reflects acceptance of your natural fate as the singer slowly fades into the distance. It is a beautiful piece of art. I encourage you to listen to it again. Also, there is a buried lyric in the song which indicates that if you can hear it, you are already dying.
