“The Great Gig in the Sky“ is the fifth track on The Dark Side of the Moon, the 1973 album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd. The song features music by Richard Wright and non-lexical vocals by Clare Torry.
An early incarnation of the song, titled “The Mortality Sequence“ and lacking the vocals later contributed by Clare Torry, was performed by Pink Floyd throughout 1972. In its final version, “The Great Gig in the Sky“ was performed live from 1973–1975, and from 1987–1994. When Floyd’s manager, Steve O’Rourke, died in 2003, Gilmour, Wright, and Mason played “Fat Old Sun“ and “The Great Gig in the Sky“ at O’Rourke’s funeral.
In a contemporary review for The Dark Side of the Moon, Lloyd Grossman of Rolling Stone described “The Great Gig in the Sky“ as a track [Pink Floyd] could have “shortened or dispensed“. However, in a reader poll from the same magazine, the track was selected as the second greatest vocal performance of all time behind Bohemian Rhapsody.
