Here's a pic of Clare, although I have no idea which of the three singers on stage she is. Probably the one iin the centre. It was taken at the 2000 Roger Waters concert at the Madison Square Gardens in NYC.

I think that the images of Waters' tour dont refer to Clare Torry, 'cause she is probably quite old (Dark side was made in 72-73). I think it is quite impossible to find a photo of her, or impossible on the net. maybe if one of you has a floyd's book... thanks a lot, Jimi

Clare Torry was interviewed about her performance on Great Gig In The Sky for a BBC TV Pink Floyd Documentary in 1994/5. You can see what she looks like if any of your mates taped it off TV. If you don't live in the UK - you'll probably not be able to get it. The programme also has interivews with Peter Jenner, Andrew King, PFs old landlord and shit loads of rare studio/live footage including the band jamming tracks for The Division Bell.

you are now free to call me a racist if you like

You're racist.

Actually, I always just assumed she was black too. Go figure.

How the hell can you mix up Clare Torry with P.P. Arnold? Remember: DSotM: '73 --ITF: '00

Hey Cory, I went to that website and read several of the reviews of that concert series back in '00-01, and they specifically mentioned that Clare was one of the guest back-up singers. Now that may be misleading information, but why not? I would think that Roger would want her to sing, especially since she continues to appear on other people's records here and there as a singer. As for the pic, how can you tell who is who? It does not seem clear enough to identify any specific fae, much less determine the age of the woman. Do you have some special software that I don't? Do you have that new Intel chip, or something?

I don't know where you heard that. Clare Torry was a guest back up singer on Roger's Radio KAOS tour in 1987, but I never heard anything about her on the ITF tour. The three back up singers are PP Arnold, Susannah Melvoin and Katie Kissoon. BTW, if you watch the ITF DVD, you can find out which one is which.
