great gig in the sky-fantastic pink floyd cover

submitted by enoch

8 years 4 weeks ago

"The Great Gig In The Sky" is the fifth track from Pink Floyd's 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon. This piece was written by Richard Wright and it is also known by the fantastic Clare Torry's vocal performance.

I would like to thanks particularly to Lilian Ximenes who interpreted beautifully the Clare Torry's vocal and the collaboration of Kris and Paulo to produce this cover!

This cover was made with the participation of:

Carlos Assad (Brazil) - Piano, Bass & Lapsteel

Paulo de Siqueira Bueno (Brazil) - Drums

Kris Gietkowski (England) - Hammond Organ

On one hand, that is an amazingly faithful cover. By god, that girl's got one hell of a voice.

My only criticism is that it's TOO similar. It sounds so much like the original that you may as well just listen to that.

Eh, that's actually my criticism is that although that girl has the right pipes, she doesn't know the song well enough and she deviates from the way its sung many many times. Still, to an extent, its a matter of how everyone hears songs differently.

I agree. While I enjoy covers, I also enjoy hearing what the musicians who are performing the cover bring to the song...their own unique style that adds to the original, making it "new".

But....Tongue piercing.

Moving this video to enoch's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
