hey administrator...i just wanted to say that that song is like the act of making love (can i say it that way?) i mean the screams are the climax of the song....it starts real nice and slow and when the screams pop in.....well....you do the analogy....(can i say it like this?) :D

That's actually much more suggestive INO.

The thing is, the word he used is the only way to describe the vocals. The song is just so random, who else could do a song with a woman screaming over a piano and make it good? Not even The Beatles would have pulled it off so well.

Keith is right on the mark with this one! Her singing MAKES the song what it is, i dont think id like the song at all without Claire Torry singing.

Definitely with the vocals - the best part of the whole tune IMO.

Any of the late 72 shows have the track with no vocal. I have been listening to a good version from the Boeblingen roio dated 15 Nov 1972 latley.

With... I can't carry a tune in a bucket, and always admired the controlled passion in this vocal piece- I love it.
