Here is my tribute to Richard Wright, keyboard player for Pink Floyd. Richard passed away yesterday (September 15, 2008) of cancer. Accompanying this slide show is a recording of me playing my favorite song of all time, Pink Floyd's The Great Gig In The Sky, composed by Richard Wright. I am playing all of the instruments on this recording. RIP Richard. I'm not a professional and I'm no expert. I'm just an amateur doing what I love to do. :)

  • 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!

  • @domi7880 Thanks, domi7880! :)

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

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

  • @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!

  • this makes me cry...

    Really sweet tribute to a great man

  • 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 :)
