Taby Pilgrim - The Dear Hunter Medley

Pretty well made (what seems like mostly) A capella medley of a lot of songs from The Dear Hunter, done by a German female musician Taby Pilgrim.

I will say, she often chooses just the part of a verse and the known chorus or melody/theme of each tune. And she sings them mostly if not all in the same key in that, if you heard 5 of them with lyrics, you might think they came from the same song, which the originals are not sang that way.

But part of that could be she seems to have triple/trio tracked them, so they don't stand out as much.

Of course, and I noted below, the extra songs/parts layered into some of the others.

And also I have to go back to/mention the greatest Tribute medley ever in my mind, Shadow Gallery's "Floydian Memories." I still adore that piece, and would love to hear another band do something on that kind of epic scale for another band (which might exist, done live, or just on YouTube like Taby Pilgrim's TDH medley here).

Random Track Sharing: Shadow Gallery - Floydian Memories (2005)

This is not intending to come across like those tumblr entries, but I've for quite some time just thought, why not just post favorite tracks, namely from my listening history. And they may or may not include blurbs. Preferably they will, but how long does it take to post a YouTube embed code? 10 seconds or so. A blurb? depending on length, could take 30 minutes or more.

So, save for the random Facebook/twitter post, I may just throw them up in here.

This particular track/medley is to me Shadow Gallery's crowning achievement. It's just marvelous, how they segued so many different parts from the Floyd catalog so well, and being faithful to the arrangements for the most part, while still having a bit of a Shadow Gallery element to them (namely the late, great Mike Baker's vocals).

So, for those who have never heard this incredible 24+ minute opus/ode to the Floyd, it probably would still be well worth checking out (or revisiting for anyone who hasn't in many years, even since Room V dropped in 2005).
