Went to see Us and Them this week. I was really looking foward to hearing the Great Gig in the Sky in the theare on the big speakers, as I have never seen Pink Floyd live. The sound quality let me down, but rarely do you see a cover done better than the original. Clare Torry's vocals on the Dark Side of the Moon's Great Gig in the Sky are just jaw dropping. Make your heart skip a beat, feel everything prickle of skin on your body, amazing. The feeling I had for the ladies trying to do this a solid, was just a bummer.
I work closely with 2 24 year old guys, and I asked the one, we affectionately refer as "Young Bitch"
(thanks Pete Davidson) if he has ever seen the Wall.. really no? Who raises these kid? Really, no Pink Floyd? Amazing.
The ladies from Us and Them reminded me of the Buggles...
Has there ever been a cover of The Great Gig in the Sky better than Clare Torry? I reallylove the reaction YouTube vidoes.
