Pink Floyd Live Performance of 'The Great Gig in The Sky' at Earl's Court, London

Venue: Mile High Stadium Location: Denver, Colorado, United States Date: June 18, 1994

In June 1994, Pink Floyd was actively engaged in promoting their fourteenth studio album, "The Division Bell," which had been released earlier that year in March. The live recording from Earl's Court, part of the Pulse Tour, showcases the band's classic sound as they performed songs that blend their progressive rock roots with later developments. This tour marked a significant reunion for the band after a long hiatus following their previous studio album, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" (1987), and it played a crucial role in revitalizing their presence in the music scene. Notably, "The Great Gig in the Sky," performed during this concert, features the iconic vocal improvisation of Claire Torry, who had originally recorded the track in 1973 for "The Dark Side of the Moon," illustrating the enduring legacy of Pink Floyd’s earlier works and their live reinterpretation through the years.
