I recently ragged on the Floyd's omnipresence vis a vis "The Wall" and "Animals". I also disclaimed by stating I love Floyd. Here is one of the reasons why.
Saw them in Phoenix summer of 1987 or 1988. (it was one of those two) A very nice show at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.

That was cruel :) Clare Torry is the answer. "The Great Gig in the Sky" In 2004, she sued Pink Floyd and EMI for songwriting royalties on the basis that her contribution to "The Great Gig in the Sky" constituted co-authorship with keyboardist Richard Wright. Originally, she was paid the standard flat fee of £30 for Sunday studio work. In 2005, an out-of-court settlement was reached in Torry's favour, although the terms of the settlement were not disclosed. All releases after 2005 credit 'Richard Wright/Clare Torry' for the "Great Gig in the Sky" segment. "apparently Mr Gilmour encoraged her to do it because she didnt have an income, the legalities meant that she was entitled to be credited on the album and paid more than £30. (the actual sum was not disclosed) |

Wow. I like Pink Floyd a lot, but this track is just a tad on the long side. Great in concert, I'm sure, but as the soundtrack to my day at work in the office? Not so much.

There are a select few songs out there that require the option of a rating higher than 10.
This would be one of them.

It needs variety. That's why it listens to RP, to feed its insatiable desire for musical novelty and freshness. I enjoy the extended songs from PF played on RP, such as Shine on you Crazy Diamond, but a 30-minute live track is pushing it. Those listeners who don't like PF will be mightily hacked off. |

Wow. With headphones on and a couple of vodkas ('tho I try not to drink very much), I'm being blown away.
Sorry, but I've been hearing a lot of 'vanilla' music on RP lately, and this is how it used to be! oxo.

In other news... AWESOME RECORDING! I have numerous ROIO's of Pink Floyd and it is great to hear this official release from this era.
Frater_Kork wrote:Something is wrong with the fourth pyramid prism from the left on the album cover.
The index of refraction is different from the other prisms so the beam/rainbow angle is different.
Also, it is below the last one making for an odd pattern of overlaps wich I have as yet not figured out.
Maybe i need to adjust my caffeine dosage... ;) Great Scott. You're right... They *crossed the beams* on this album. No wonder they got that otherwordly sound... |
