I went to this concert too!!!! It was one of the most amazing experiences in my life, to get to hear live the albums my dad used to hear when I was a little girl was priceless!!! and I also smoked pot 'til I passed out! super nice :D
If I was the greatest female vocalist in all creation I would be very intimidated by any attempt at performing this song !! You just can't re-creat the perfection of the original recording by Clare Torre !!
oh i was there for the experience of my life and loved it so much i went back a 2nd time - it was too much all at once. this was outrageous in the hollwood hills......
Although I've heard many versions of this song that touched me, this is one of THE best after Clare Torry herself. Rather than trying to capture nore for note, Karol captures the emotions that Pink Floyd intended. The song was recorded by Clare improv style. To even try to capture note by note would be silly. I saw this show twice in LA and the crowd cried, stood up and applauded her for a minute.
@Frank2tek Sorry guy I dont know what ears you are listening with but Rachel Fury has no where near the soul and feeling of all the other girls that sang this song.She has a very raspy voice to begin with and she just screams, there's no emotion nor soul in her voice... too raspy voice.
For me Bianca Antionettes is orgasmic..this one is effing soul and amazing.Clare T`s is quite spiritual..but everyone would think different..but massive respect to everyone who has view on this coz it is one sh*t hot song.
I think to say its too rounded a performance is wrong.. for a start you have had to be there to get full impact of her singing..and if anything she improvises alot more than other versions I have heard of this track.Every version isnt going to be like Clare T`s but some notes she hits better than CT..and some others not. The whole point of this is that it is to touch different emotions in you ..not the same as the one you have heard from Clare T`s
The name of the girl is Carol, not Carla. She's just fucking amazing. I saw her in São Paulo, and for me, it was the best live version of this song. Roger was simply perfect on the bass.
It's all right, but it's really too bad they didn't have the singer from Classic Albums Live. Kenyon cuts corners but the CAL singer is full-on, in your face, killer.

This lady has been doing great things for 25+ years. Luv her earlier pop collaborations as well. And I agree, she looks great for her age.
