A Sense of Doubt blog post #2296 - "The Great Gig In the Sky" - Live - Musical Monday on Tuesday for 2106.01

So, I took the day off from work COMPLETELY on Sunday and I only worked about a half day yesterday (Memorial Day). I am proud of these decisions. I also stopped doing computer things at night and just watched TV. We're watching the new HBO MAX series The Outsider, based on the Stephen King novel.

I read some more of Brian Eno's diary from 1995, re-released as a 25th anniversary edition last year, which I have written about here (or rather shared about):

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2211 - Various links raided from ENO - MUSICAL MONDAY for 2103.08

Specifically, this share:

So, I was thinking about his diary thing, and considering starting a similar thing for a year on July 6th (as my current blog year cycle goes from July 6th - July 5th).

But then I am not sure I want to abandon my features entirely. AND I can easily do what I am doing right here. I can diary/journal everyday on what I did the previous day whether I make it the lone feature or not.

Still, I had a nice day reading and thinking about Eno's life.

But today is not really about Eno, it's about PINK FLOYD and specifically "The Great Gig in the Sky" from The Dark Side of the Moon and the amazing Clare Torry.

So fucking amazing.

Enjoy today's musical selection.

Take some time for yourself.

Listen to some great music, take a walk, read a book, eat some great food, tell the people you love that you love them.

And watch that great gig in the sky...

I love PINK FLOYD, as seen here in T-shirt #133 and this mix

LIVE AT KNEBWORTH

The concert was part of the star-studded 1990 Silver Clef Award Winners performance at Knebworth House, in Hertfordshire, England, headlined by Pink Floyd.

The concert, in front of around 120,000 fans, was a fundraiser for the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Charity, and also included Paul McCartney, Genesis, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, Cliff Richard & The Shadows, Elton John, Status Quo, Tears For Fears, and Robert Plant & Jimmy Page.

The Floyd set was performed by the touring line-up of the late 1980s, with a slight change to the vocalists - joining Durga McBroom was Sam Brown, her mother Vicki, and Clare Torry (original vocalist for The Great Gig In The Sky). Saxophonist Candy Dulfer and keyboard player Michael Kamen also joined the band for this one-off show. The audio has been remixed by David Gilmour and Andy Jackson, and following its appearance in 2019's The Later Years box set, is now available on CD or double vinyl for the first time as a standalone album.

- Days ago = 2160 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
