The Great Gig in the Sky
Ahhhh. Clare Tory’s extraordinary psychedelic opera…One of the greatest songs of all time. Who can do it justice? Not many people should even try. And The Last Hurrah! didn’t try. They used instruments instead, and did a fine job…
Danilo Rossi took a similar approach, with the viola. I couldn’t pick which of these I liked more–they’re very different. So two “best” selections here…
Also recommended: Dream Theater covered the entire Dark Side album. They didn’t do much with it–but their version of Dark Side is terrific.
