  1. "Have a Cigar" is the third track on #PinkFloyd's 1975 album #WishYouWereHere. It follows "#WelcomeToTheMachine" and on #theOriginal LP opened side two. In some markets, the song was issued as a single. English folk-#rock singer #RoyHarper provided lead vocals on the song. It is one of only three Pink Floyd recordings with a guest singer on lead vocals, the others being "#TheGreatGigInTheSky" (1973) with #ClareTorry and "#HeyHeyRiseUp" (2022) with #AndriyKhlyvnyuk.

  3. “The Great Gig in the Sky” est un des morceaux des Floyd les plus puissants, pour moi le meilleur de Dark Side of the Moon (j’ai compris ça tard, par son empreinte sur moi) par ce cri, qui crie fort de l’intérieur – cf l’effet de sa citation dans “Buongiorno, notte”.

    Il faut rappeler que c’est une impro de la chanteuse et choriste Clare Torry (reproduite plus tard note par note dans les concerts des Floyd, qui ont eu constamment le fétichisme de la copie live des albums studio) et que Clare Tory a dû poursuivre les Floyd en justice (2004) pour être créditée comme co-autrice et toucher des royalties.
