Rachel fury è stata la peggiore! Ho sentito diverse versioni live di questa canzone e Fury non mi ha mai emozionato. Strano che il gruppo le abbia permesso di cantare sempre la prima parte, che è la più difficile. Bianca Antoniette e Ola Bienkowska LE MIGLIORI!!!!! Peccato non essere mai riuscito a trovare una versione live con Clare Torry :(
@mercuryila87 ascolta, quel mitico giorno di molti anni fa, quando presumo tu nn fossi ancora nata, c'era un'umidità tale che alle coriste si abbassò la voce...sai Venezia, la laguna ecc. Cmq la prima solista ha la voce un pò di roca di natura è la sua particolarità! Poi oh...de gustibus...
I agree about Margaret taylor, as I had commented a couple weeks ago. I wore out my VHS tape of Delicate Sound of Thunder watching this song over and over.
@ncyankee, well sam started out mellow then i think she stepped in up really great!
I stil haven't heard rachel yet, (been busy) but this weekend i will do the search. So Rachel in Delicate Sound of Thunder then. I had the album. Should have kept it! I will look around for another! I always wanted to visit Pitt! Maybe next year when the steelers play for the AFC Championship Title! lol
i think the reason I don't love Sam brown's version as much as many others seem to is that she changed it too much from the original. The other singers have managed to stay mostly faithful to Clare Torry while still giving it their own personal feel, her version was barely recognizeable in places. I also feel that the first part of the song is supposed to represent the energy and vigor of youth, and her version just didn't do that for me.
@ncyankee, i will check it out. I think the blonde in Pulse-1994 did a fantastic job! I don't know her name. So you must be from the midwest? I live in Mich.
Sam Brown was the one in the Pulse video, I thought she was OK but maybe a little too mellow and laid-back, I prefer rachel when she is not hoarse, she really puts a lot into it.
If it helps find it, the version I like is from the Delicate sound of thunder video. It would be so much easier if you could post links in the comments.
Rachel is much better in the one at Nassau Coliseum, she was definitely hoarse here - look for the 1988 one with black dresses. The third woman - Margaret Taylor - was the best I have seen yet. Same lineup as when I saw them live in 1987 and 88 in Pitt and Cleveland.
Yep - she's done this a few too many times and has got herself hoarse. There's no substitute for Claire Torrey - the black voice trapped in a white girl's body
Rachel I was born in the 60s I grew up with Floyd Great GiG in the Sky is truly a part of my inner being it has a special place in my heart thank you for your awsome talent you to are vary special Floyd thanks man you rock true fan in colorado
Beautiful performance. Any woman duly capable of attempting this solo should be recognized as someone with an incredible set of pipes. The range, breathing and dynamics required for this tune was Clare Torry's very best in the studio; something people should realize. It is likely even Clare herself back then would be unlikely to replicate her own sound outside of an isolation vocal booth.
Rachel had been on tour almost every night for over 2 and a half years at this point. Her voice was just over worked. I checked the tour dates for 87,88,89. Also, I notice that McBroom and Margaret are not at this concert. They were probably taking a break. Rachel most likely HAD to be there. Gilmore DID replace her part in Comfortably Numb with Sam Browns at some point but i think that was on the Delicate Sound of THunder but I'm not sure. RACHEL, please comment on this if you would. Thanks
@roccopozzi The first woman is Rachel Fury and she must have had a sore throat or something because she is struggling here. I've seen her sing this songs numerous times before and she sounded like this song was written for here. One year earlier in Madison Square Garden she sounded perfect and without problems. It was the best performance I had ever heard.
well it sounds like Rachel did a "Ian Gillan" and destroyed her once angelic voice... Just listen To the great gig in the sky delicate sound of thunder one year before this. There she sings it perfect:-)
ALLORA AVEVO 17 ANNI, IN 1à FILA, UN ESPERIENZA IRRIPETIBILE, PARAGONABILE, FORSE, SOLO AL CONCERTO DI vASCO A s. sIRO DEL '90 E AL MONSTER OF ROCK DELL'86, AL CONCERTO DEGLI AC DC
I can't believe that some people here have issues with Rachel Fury's performance. I just looked for this because I hadn't seen the Venice gig in a wihle because I only have it on VHS. To me this is one of the best Pink Floyd moments of all times.
@Hanakoa12 Yes Rachel had started losing her voice after singing this part for a few years. It really took it's toll on her voice. She had one of the most beautiful voices I had ever heard. I hope she got it back after much needed rest.
@Hanakoa12 sam brown is rubbish compared to ms fury. great!!!!!!!! makes my haires stand to attention every time. the earlier gig is better, shes got a sore throat in this one. look for the one with the little black dresses
@Hanakoa12 Sam Brown didn't get as tired on the long haul as Rachel did, but rachel put SO much more into her performance, sam brown is so good, but kinda boring. . . amd Rachel had a few good shows, just not this one
I Was there. I just can tell you that's it is hard to sing this song as well as in a studio recording. She's singin' up on a floating platform in the middle of Bacino San Marco....water,humidity,wind and so on...last thing, there was about 300 thousands people...
I gotta respectfully disagree with you posters not liking the first chick. I find her amazing and I do know this song well. But not everyone likes the same thing. She gets it for me though.
Who let that 1st chick up on stage surrounded by all that incredible talent? I have 15 version on one playlist, this one is coming off. To bad cause the next two female artist's are VERY good.
I sware that gilmour is one of the best pedal steel players around because he and wright give this song so much feeling. Man i hope he comes around, but i guess id see roger also. Roger does not have the voice to pull off alot of songs anymore
Definitely the best ever released version of this song.
Rachel Fury the spade, Durga McBroom the heart, and the last one (I don't remember her name even I love her) , somewhere in the middle...
The force reside in the contrast between each singers. This contrast and evolution has already been interpreted by Clare Torry at the first take of this song.
you listen to the original recording and think how hard could it be to find someone else to scream in tune to someone playing the piano and then you see these live versions that don't have clair torry and you realize that no matter who else sings this song it just isnt right unless clair sings it....no one else even comes close
No one sings "Great Gig in the Sky" better than Clare Torry, or any black woman apparently, because black women have that amazing soul and passion in their voices that just can't be surpassed, as seen in this song. this would have been alot better if the second singer sang the whole song.
I think the first singer was awesome admittedly her voice did break, but we dont know how many times she had to sing in other shows/rehersal. very sensual.
Incorrect. There are no "inappropriate points" in the song. She's a famous singer and you are completely unaware of her history and talent as is obvious by calling her "this first singer." The song itself is brilliant and has no inappropriate points. I don't think you "get" the song or the few singers that can perform it. Is Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night not doing "a good job" just because he only sold one painting? What seem like imperfections to you in the song are brilliant accents to most.
you are misunderstanding me. i didnt say that the song had inappropriate points, her voice did, The song, i mean piece, is great throughout. At some points it is important to get it right, which she doesnt.
I dont need to be aware of her history to pass judgment on her, otherwise i would end up liking her even if she does a bad performance. just like you.
To be honest, I have to disapprove. Rachel Fury is one INCREDIBLE singer, especially on this DSOT tour. I tend to like this performance better then Pulse, but thats just me. Rachel Fury does a great job on the notes of this songs as do the other two women. (Rachel being my fav) This song is incredible to hear on the DSOT concert out there on DVD. The Versailles (sp?) version is my fav. So, I think Rachel Fury does a spectacular job on this song. :)
you are right tensago she fucking blows , who gives a shit about her so called talent. This is one of the worst performances i have ever seen of great gig in the sky. Its like she didnt even fucking care. Dont friquen tell me people of how i couldnt do this and shit because i aint no fag
Le voci di queste due donne sono davvero divine...
Ed è una canzone assolutamente e fottutamente geniale.
Ahimè purtroppo i miei 16 anni non mi hanno permesso di poter vivere quegli anni, ma non so cosa darei una macchina del tempo solo per tornare in quel momento a Venezia..
i think the major person to credit for this wonderful song is the original singer, Clare Torry. it's the screaming part that makes it a masterpiece... richard wright also has a share on it, of course... but i see everybody saying "thanks richard" and i don't agree that much
God! I've got no words to explain how I feel when I hear this song! My skin crawls! I just adore it! Thank you Richard, you'll live forever in our hearts!
This piece has become like a timeless opera: we wait to hear how the female character will perform her part. In this case, she did not do a perfect job. Yet Richard Wright's music will live on forever. R.I.P., Richard.
Yes my name is Lorelei McBroom. Thank you for the compliment! Nobody does it better than Pink Floyd!!! I also appeared with my sister Durga, Rachael Fury, Roberta Freeman and Margaret Taylor in the Pink Floyd videos for "Dogs Of War" and "On The Turning Away". All the best to you.
iiiiiih really? Really you was the third singer? Oh mamma mia! But you are great! Your voice is amazing! My father was there in 1989, i was 2 years old and when i listen pink floyd he always told me about this wonderful concert!
I am the third singer in this video and the poster before me is right. The first girl is Rachael Fury, the second is Durga McBroom and the third is Lorelei McBroom. It's so nice to see this one online. Rachael was sick and that effected her performance that night, but she has a tremendous talent! That was a GREAT experience.
Cybersiren really you was the third singer in this video? Your voice was (is) incredible, fantastic! I love Pynk Floyd and i loved your performance. I don't knew that Rachael Fury was sick these night
io c'ero!

Please reply with your approval or disproval

To be honest, I have to disapprove. Rachel Fury is one INCREDIBLE singer, especially on this DSOT tour. I tend to like this performance better then Pulse, but thats just me. Rachel Fury does a great job on the notes of this songs as do the other two women. (Rachel being my fav) This song is incredible to hear on the DSOT concert out there on DVD. The Versailles (sp?) version is my fav. So, I think Rachel Fury does a spectacular job on this song. :)

Rachel,tú sei la mia sirena e tu mi porti alle profondità dell'abissale cosmo, impazzito di amore per causa della tua voce...
Grazie Pink Floyd. Grazie Richard.

Dannazione come è bella questa canzone..
Le voci di queste due donne sono davvero divine...
Ed è una canzone assolutamente e fottutamente geniale.
Ahimè purtroppo i miei 16 anni non mi hanno permesso di poter vivere quegli anni, ma non so cosa darei una macchina del tempo solo per tornare in quel momento a Venezia..

i think the major person to credit for this wonderful song is the original singer, Clare Torry. it's the screaming part that makes it a masterpiece... richard wright also has a share on it, of course... but i see everybody saying "thanks richard" and i don't agree that much

God! I've got no words to explain how I feel when I hear this song! My skin crawls! I just adore it! Thank you Richard, you'll live forever in our hearts!

Mr. Wrights masterpiece. Dark Side of the Moon would not have been the rock phenomena it has become without him and this song. Period.
Thanks Rick. RIP.

This piece has become like a timeless opera: we wait to hear how the female character will perform her part. In this case, she did not do a perfect job. Yet Richard Wright's music will live on forever. R.I.P., Richard.

Yes my name is Lorelei McBroom. Thank you for the compliment! Nobody does it better than Pink Floyd!!! I also appeared with my sister Durga, Rachael Fury, Roberta Freeman and Margaret Taylor in the Pink Floyd videos for "Dogs Of War" and "On The Turning Away". All the best to you.

I am the third singer in this video and the poster before me is right. The first girl is Rachael Fury, the second is Durga McBroom and the third is Lorelei McBroom. It's so nice to see this one online. Rachael was sick and that effected her performance that night, but she has a tremendous talent! That was a GREAT experience.

Cybersiren really you was the third singer in this video? Your voice was (is) incredible, fantastic! I love Pynk Floyd and i loved your performance. I don't knew that Rachael Fury was sick these night
