The great gig in the sky (alternate version) - pink floyd

[MREAGLEPAUL]

This is not the alternate version of GGITS, the chords are different, the structure is different, it has no resemblance to GGITS whatsoever. The alternate version of GGITS is more or less the same, minus the vocals which are replaced by sounds effects and will be included on the release of the alternate Dark Side of the Moon (early mix version).

[SnowyCamel]

intro reminds me of the end of saucer full of secrets

[MaceMn]

This is off "Dark Side Of The Sky"... a bootlegged version of the precursor to "Dark Side Of The Moon". Correct me if I'm wrong.

[sitarless]

[equinoxoz]

Hi, they are not at all the chords of the "Great GIg in the sky song" but more likely a progression, something around a f#min or around a Gmin chord (depending on how you"re tuned...A kind of theme Richard played while the others went out for a glass of wine :-)

Chords for Great GIg in the sky are on the net but the main 2 chords sequence are Gmin 7 and C7...

[MrLovre]

@equinoxoz begins in b-minor, then modulates to g-minor (the vocal sequence is whole just two chords - g minor and C7), then modulates once again back to b-minor and eventually ends up in g-minor

some recordings sound detuned, but I've never heard one which dropped down for one semitone.

[Butzopower]

@overban888 lolwut

[Jakeshark]

@overban888 I must be pretty fuckin' queer, then.

[strtsphr]

[liquidmotion09]

[liquidmotion09]

[Ors65]

Fantastic

[ukkfayooyay]

This is from the 1972 tour.  It was released on a vinyl bootleg in the mid-1970s called "Crackers."

[DhavalVyas1]

Beautiful is such a strange way. It would make great background music for a dream sequence in a film.

[jrlovr88]

[jlsmsu12]

This was called originally "The Mortality Sequence'' before Great Gig In The Sky hence all of the biblical readings.

[killzer48]

thanx Itcurry, I would like more information, was this track included as the b-side of a single?

[ChiefLongstick]

Not quite Clare Torry, but the rarity of this is a genuine treasure from the Floyd. Thank you for posting this, much appreciated!

R.I.P. Richard Wright!!!!!!!!!!!

[ltcurry]

Thanks man, i have been waiting for this part for awhile. This was my fav part of the bootleg album i had when i was like 10, 29 years ago. It was the break in the album from side a to b.

[friend120]

pink floyd was pink floyd because of everybody: Syd, David, Roger, Richard, and Nick

[athrough0]

[NoiseFieldBand]

[dux85]

I read somewhere it was called "The mortality sequence".

[Anonysmaus]

This sounds like a combination of Celestial Voices chords and Great Gig intro chords.

[LinkBulletBill]

Time and then this song and then Money...

This was the order...

[LinkBulletBill]

good!

[Thonn265]

it is called " The Preaching Sequence" which was a demo before Claire Torry Made Here Wordless Singing.

[Muzikafreak92]

Worthless?! you've got to be kidding. That is probably one the best examples of orgasmic singing ever!

[happyguy129]

[mattosPR]

muy raro material, como lo era la banda en sus comienzos, genios!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[kocisko]

Thanks Rick!!!!

It's very hard to believe it's true....

[TheHam85]

One of my favourite pieces of all time.

R.I.P Rick

[etks1957]

One of the most haunting and beautiful pieces of music ever. Music is one of the best things in life, and the Floyd is my favourite music. Thank you for everything. A truely gentleman, Gone too young, rest in peace Richard Wright.

[nicce1982]

RIP Rick. We'll miss you and your music. As a big fan on Pink Floyd and as a son who's lost his father to cancer 2 years ago, my heart goes out to the family and friends of Rick. I wish you all the strength to go on with your lives and live with the warm and happy memories of Rick.

[tonydeejay]

rest in peace rick...

anyone knows the chord from this wonderful version ?

[beanolabub]

RIP Rick.

[endlesshighway73]

The Great Gig in the Sky@

[bb97js]

[abacab65]

Descance en paz maestro

Pink Floyd por siempre

Desde Chile

[iamthebyron]

Rest in peace Richard Wright.

[AirHendrix91]

I haven't listened to it for quite a while so forgive me. Its just that every dude who knows about Floyd would probably know what Dark Side is but the posers usually wore the Wall shirts... at least that was the case in my school.

[AirHendrix91]

I'm not a historian of Floyd either so forgive my opinion is ignorant. I own most of their albums, save a few like the Wall and Saucerful and Atom Heart Mother but I do have Dark Side, Meddle, Animals, and Piper.

Though Animals wasn't my favorite cause it reminded me too much of the Wall...

[pfloyd1987]

Ok you are not a historian of the group,and you have absolutely right on your subjective notion,but i think it is very good thing to know something historicaly(in this case it is very important for the band generaly,it is not some littleness like date of realising,or something)... Do not touch "Animals".:D

[AirHendrix91]

Man, Wright was the key to that band's potential.

He and Gilmour really laid down the ground work for any album they had. Of course, Nick Mason's drumming is great too.

Although, I couldn't care less about Waters lol cause I utterly hate that bassist.

[pfloyd1987]

If you hate Waters than you do not know nothing about Pink Floyd...Rogers's ideas were basic for everything they made...Of course Gilmour gave a direction to all that,Gilmour is terrific, i love them both equaly,but it is much easier to work forward when you already have somebodies ideas...

[AirHendrix91]

Roger was full of himself by the time they did the Wall album. Admit it man, he tried to steal the whole show and they kicked him out cause of his arrogance.

His basslines are pretty good though I love basses that are actually audible lol.

*Not that I can't hear them, just they're kinda faint. Whatever, I love the rest of the band :D.

[pfloyd1987]

Rogers ideas were basic for almost every album,nothing without him...dark side of the moon(his ideas for that conceptual album(story),than Animals(his inspiration after read "animal farm" by Orwel),than wall(wrote every song and music together with others),than final cut(wrote every single song and every music)literally say to them what to tune out...i belive you understand his importance,of course nothing without importance of Gilmour and Rick,Mason.

[pfloyd1987]

But also David Gilmour made fantastic music that gives to Pink Floyd terrific fascination..His importance is huge as well...I like them equaly,Wright and Mason did great work....So,all together they are Pink Floyd it is not alright to make exeption.

[AirHendrix91]

So no one at all wrote their own music? That's hard to believe since one of their best pieces, "Echoes" was inspired by a chord that Rick came up with.

Of course they did the albums together, but Syd was more of an influence then he was. When Syd left, they continued on that same path that he set out on but made it far more instrumental.

[pfloyd1987]

No .I said that,music has been made by everybody of them!!!But I also said,i have to repeat,for ideas,lyrics,concept,burthen,s­ubstance of all that is worth-while of Roger Waters...Syd Berret has began with it,he is extremely distinctive with originality ,no doubt,but Waters also is fantastic writer..So do not call him just a "bassist",he is much more than that...

[kcg5000]

The waters v Gilmour debate will go on and on. Who really knows? We can be thankful they gave us what they did.

[rhcpfan2030]

They're both right, David Gilmour made you enjoy they're music, more than think. Roger Made You think about it more than enjoy it. They're writing styles were completely different, but seemed to mesh together perfectly.

[Feehely93]

Waters wrote all the Wall. THE WALL DUDE!

[AirHendrix91]

Never liked the Wall though.

Gilmour's playing was good on the album, its just that he didn't maximize his potential on the album. Yeah, Waters wrote the wall and it sure as hell sounds like it to me. If only Gilmour really put more say it into it, idk.

I'm just not a fan of it, no offense sorry.

[mfe29]

This isn't the great gig in the sky; this is just one demo from the "Tour 1972" known as "The death sequence"

[nastyprismsforsyd]

Such a lovely progression. God, I swear this guy's a genius--he may not have been a knife-carrying musician, flipping his Hammonds over and doing dual-organ solos with one hand on either organ, he was certainly up there with the likes of Keith Emerson as far as creativity goes. Fucking brilliant.

[BrokenChair88]

why didn't Pink Floyd include this on Dark Side of the Moon?
