Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky (Live, Delicate Sound Of Thunder) [2019 Remix]

As seen on TikTok trend.

Delicate Sound of Thunder encapsulates a band at their incendiary best. Alongside the classic live album and full concert film (restored and re-edited from the original 35mm film and enhanced with 5.1 surround sound), included in The Later Years box set, all stand-alone editions feature 24-page photo booklets, with the 4-disc box edition including a 40-page photo booklet, tour poster and postcards. The 3LP 180-gram vinyl set features 9 songs not included on the original 1988 release of the album, while the 2CD features 8 tracks not included on its original release.

*ABOUT DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER*
In 1987, Pink Floyd made a triumphant resurgence. The legendary British band, formed in 1967, had suffered the loss of two co-founders: keyboardist/ vocalist Richard Wright, who left after sessions for The Wall in 1979, and bass player and lyricist Roger Waters, who had left to go solo in 1985, soon after the 1983 album The Final Cut.

The gauntlet was thus laid down for guitarist/singer David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason, who proceeded to create the multi-platinum A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album, a global chart smash, which also saw the return of Richard Wright to the fold.

Released in September 1987, A Momentary Lapse Of Reason was quickly embraced by fans worldwide, who flocked to attend the live tour dates, which started within days of the album’s release. The tour played to more than 4.25 million fans over more than 2 years, and, as a celebration of the enduring talent and global appeal of David, Nick and Richard (supported by 8 other stellar musicians on stage), was unsurpassed at the time. The setlist carefully balances the then-new material and Pink Floyd classics.

Filmed at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum in August 1988 and directed by Wayne Isham, the Grammy Award nominated Delicate Sound Of Thunder comes to cinemas for the first time in this global event release. This 2020 version is sourced directly from over 100 cans of original 35mm negatives, painstakingly restored and transferred to 4K, and completely re-edited by Benny Trickett from the restored and upgraded footage, under the creative direction of Aubrey Powell/Hipgnosis. Similarly, the sound was completely remixed from the original multitrack tapes by longtime Pink Floyd engineer Andy Jackson with David Gilmour, assisted by Damon Iddins. Pink Floyd’s supporting cast includes: Jon Carin (Keyboards, Vocals), Tim Renwick (Guitars, Vocals), Guy Pratt (Bass, Vocals), Gary Wallis (Percussion), Scott Page (Saxophones, Guitar), Margret Taylor (Backing Vocals), Rachel Fury (Backing Vocals) and Durga McBroom (Backing Vocals). Technical credits include: Film Producers: Curt Marvis and Carl Wyant; Director of Photography: Marc Reshovsky; Lighting Designer: Marc Brickman.

just take a moment to remember how graceful Richard Wright was on the keyboards .. gone, missed but never forgotten

[drewfinisher]

these woman came closest to matching the original masterpiece vocal performance ...gave me chills and brought me back to 79 when I mowed lawns to buy this album and listen to it for the first time ...like a time machine, .. beautiful 🎶

[ricardosegundo]

Its a Master piece, brings tears to my eyes, every time...cant explaon why...It makes my chest burst.. Im 64 now, and this happens since I first heard it in my 20's.

[gerberjason]

All 3 singers are amazing. I love how they used 3 different singers with different expressions and tessituras.
But, at the very end of the first vocalise, around 2:22 to 2:26, the emotion expressed there gives me shivers everytime I hear it.

[SuperWatchdude]

The first woman is mesmerizing. enchanting. Amazing. Unbelievable. Never heard anything like her. Pure perfection.

[LoPhatKao]

If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going

[lauremehrkens]

I just love Rachel’s performance here. She makes it look so effortless. And I love the way she ended it👍❤️.

Rachel Fury,
Durga McBroom & Machan Taylor all did a fantastic job on this & other tracks on the DSOT Album.

[atravelerofbothtimespace]

Richard Wright is dearly missed .

This is as good as human music gets

[donnacollis]

I was there and these woman were just out of this world

[jonathanmeazza]

Rachel absolutely nailed this, by far the best version ever.

[SmokingJoe]

vocals simply don’t come better than this, absolutely spellbinding… could you ever imagine a song giving you a better glimpse of heaven than this .. OMG🥰

[Typhon]

Honestly, when I fell in love with this, I could understand how people can appreciate things like Opera so much. No words needed. Only downside is that they did it SO well, I have yet to hear another's rendition and like it. Oh, and I fully agree with the funeral comment.

[Shmelzig]

Probably the best performance of this song.
The three vocals, wow!

[torgue]

Greatest Band ever. At 63 (Time) has a special meaning to me now. Where's it gone. Thanks for everything you've ever done.

[Stealth_boy]

Played this at my fathers funeral this past weekend. Most powerful and emotional experience I’ve ever been through. Such a masterpiece this song is.

[DSherry]

This without a doubt is the definitive live version of "Great Gig In The Sky". Everyone is at the top of their game here. Perfection!

[nikkicook]

😭This song perfectly exemplifies the way I felt when my Dad went off to the great gig in the Sky😭He is the one who gave me my great love of music and especially Pink Floyd

[Cornbois]

This performance is incredible... in my opinion it’s the best live version ever performed!!!! All singers are great but man Margret Taylor is phenomenal here. INCREDIBLE vocals!!!!

[watcheroftheskies]

Takes me right back to the mid 70's
when I was 18, what an era what a song.
Wouldn't have missed it for the world, a one off great experience.
