Are you too young to have experienced a Pink Floyd concert? Someone's age has very little to do with their liking or disliking this tune. Generally, when one writes "nuff said" in a statement, there should not have to be any more words following it. |

"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. Fitting and well deserved tribute and restitution. Far too often musicians blame the moneymen for screwing over the hired help. It shouldn't take lawyers for them to figure out how to do the right thing. |
Larry_Rosenow Jul 11, 2012 - 15:58 | Wow....I purchased the album in 1975, watched my high school kids in Phoenix, OR paint the side of the gym to an identical replica of the cover...and today this sure is sounding so, so good. Thanks, RP. |

ycb661 Jul 11, 2012 - 15:36 | here we go - turning the speakers up to 11 |
tupicetti Jun 17, 2012 - 18:40 | I gave a 12 to this. Given that the top rating is ten, I have 2 to spare... will give it to next song, that way I will be in peace. |

I doubt she sued, she sang with Dave recently, I would imagine it was just a sence of fairplay on the part of the band < edit >whatever Wikipedia says!< /edit >. |
myersei Jun 09, 2012 - 23:20 | why must the scale go only to 10? so worthy of an 11 here. |

andreicio May 09, 2012 - 04:46 | Nooooooooo...... When the piece started I prepared for one hour of splendor. Only to have Bill's voice bring me down hard saying "we won't be hearing the whole piece today". Pity... |

If this were regular radio...I would assume that the DJ needed a diarrhea / cigarette break. Completely agree with Ziakut. The music is nice, but once a year is enough. Can't you break it into pieces and just play a slice at a time? There is no "Play something Different" that stands the lenght of this song. :-/ |
vanmas May 09, 2012 - 04:30 | Love this! Please more of them live! |
