The Great Gig In The Sky (tribute to Richard Wright)

[SnowyOwl1959]

quite brilliant!...VERY sensitively done...this is a very tender tribute to a wonderful musician....you can really sense this in your playing....and what an inspired idea to do the vox with sax.....it was so natural and seamless to do this that i didn't even realise till at least 8 bars into it!...WONDERFUL!

[amccann7]

this makes me cry...

Really sweet tribute to a great man

[chris21125150]

@amccann7 Thanks Amy. He truely was great. I have always felt that no other song makes me feel the way Great Gig in the Sky does. The chords and sounds are just so moving. Thanks for the comment!

[amccann7]

@chris21125150 sorry about my bad memory, but at least it brought me back to hear this again...and it was great again.

[chris21125150]

@amccann7 no problem, Amy! :) Thanks again for the comment. Can't wait until tomorrow night for the show!!! :)

Richard was the person in Pink Floyd who you couldn't always quite put your finger on what he was doing, but you'd always notice that something was missing if it wasn't there. Nothing flashy compared to other progressive keys players but always brilliant, happy to stay in the back and fill the empty spaces in the music.

One of a kind, RIP Richard Wright.

Gone to play in The Great Gig In The Sky.

He could play with Syd again :)

[CraigandLeizl]

Absolutely outstanding, thank you

[stonerchick910]

This is one of my favorite songs too!! Well done! I love PF and I totally had a melt down when I found out that Richard passed D:

[sistermoonshine13]

Man this is AMAZING!!! I have often said that if I could sing this would be one of the songs I would sing:))))

[connberkshire]

Rick will is missed, his talent knew no bounds...even after Waters decided to sack him ...NO WRIGHT, NO FLOYD...RIP

[ronofontario]

R I P Mr Wright your talents will be missed by all

[GaryNull]

You covered this quite well.

Didn't even realize you were playing all the instruments until I looked at the description.

[Daviide64]

Bravo

[queenofpeace1]

What a beautiful video of Rick. I was very upset when Rick passed away. I seen Pink Floyd twice in Toronto and they were awesome concerts. Rick was a major part of Floyd and he will be missed by all Floyd fans. God Bless you Rick and peace be with you.

[JohnyVirgil]

I was there! In toronoto, that is! I might have been a fetus, but I was there!

[yixiazi]

Quite well done.

[chris21125150]

Thanks, yixiazi.

[dertanz]

As usual Chris an outstanding execution, awesome job. Such a shame he´s not here anymore, but as long as we remember him, he´ll be here. Such an influence to me and to a lot of my friends.

Kindest Regards.

[chris21125150]

Thanks dertanz. Richard was definitely one of a kind.

great vid!

:]

[sarumanvideo]

Graaande Chris! Con il suo talento Richard ci ha regalato tantissime emozioni e tu hai omaggiato alla tua maniera un pezzo di storia della musica internazionale. Ti stimo un bordello (significa tantissimo)!

Svanisce definitivamente la speranza di rivederli ancora insieme. Addio Richard, per noi resterai per sempre vivo con la tua musica.

[carzante]

Quite emotional tribute to a very genious. Great, chris

[chris21125150]

thanks, carzante!

[captwhizzo]

Here is a vid of me playing Great Gig In The Sky on New Years Eve...last song of the night.

[captwhizzo]

Great job Chris...I've been playing the song since the late 70's...but never put the rest of the instruments in....nice....good video too. Check out my vid of me playing On The Run....live.

[chris21125150]

Thanks, captwhizzo. Nice work on On The Run too.

[gardenwall07]

a must to do! and you did it!! well done chris..

sad when the heroes of our youth pass away..this song is always a shiver down my spine..bye rick!

:(

[chris21125150]

Thanks for the compliment, gardenwall. Yes, it makes us think of our own mortality, doesn't it. Thanks for the comment.

[ileanana]

He will always live, as all true artists do, in our souls and through the music. Pink Floyd Music will always live, Richard Wright will always live, no matter what.

[troubleclef]

well done, Chris.

[chris21125150]

Thanks, troubleclef!

[gazzo45]

Poor Rick - it all happened so quickly. He didn't write that many pieces for Floyd, but most of what he did produce was absolutely excellent.

Oh, and by the way, nice tribute Chris.

[chris21125150]

Thanks for your comments, gazzo45!

[TheDeathMagneticOne]

I can´t believe it that he died. Wish you were here...

[noyau]

Really really nice tribute, you played the track very well, congrats !

RIP to Richard, you'll forever be in our hearts !

[chris21125150]

Thanks, noyau

[oliasdoug]

Last time I felt this sad about the passing of a musician was on December 8, 1980. :o( This is a beautiful tribute to Rick, and I hope David, Roger, & Nick somehow get the chance to see it...I think they'd be impressed as well. Way to go, Chris...this one's going in my favorites file. Rest in Peace, Rick.

[chris21125150]

thanks for your words, oliasdoug!

[RadLionheart]

It's sad to see another member of Pink Floyd pass on, great tribute too.

[EvH920410]
