You've been smiling for 56 minutes. This album was released on my 15th birthday, March 1 1973 and stayed on the billboard chart for a record 962 weeks and 14 x platinum. Those of us who were around from the beginning have been smiling for nearly 50 years.

A mother's childbirth pains and child's first breath....and the grown baby's final steps in life, and his final heartbeat! The album is a journey thru life of a person! Oh, "Great gig in the sky" is the lamenting of the person of his mother, who is now gone up to heaven (in the sky) .

I'm 72 years old and I teared up watching your reaction to this. You mentioned a couple of times how great it must have been live and another commenter has recommended the 'Pulse' video of their 1994 performances at London's Earls Court arena ... that is my personal favourite also, but FOR GOD'S SAKE treat yourself to some decent over-ears headphones or, even better, a set of BIG floor speakers! The light show which accompanied 'Pulse' was the first time I had ever seen laser beams and HD image projectors used on stage and I was studying lighting design at the time ... it had a profound effect which I still remember, so it's not only the music ... Pink Floyd were also pioneers in large scale arena shows. You remarked about the female singer on 'Great Gig in the Sky', Clare Torrey. She was a London-based freelance vocalist called in for an hour's work at the Abbey Road studio where PF were putting the finishing touches to DSOTM. They were stuck for ideas about what to do with this track and decided some kind of vocals were required, but had nothing written. They didn't know Clare but the studio producer, Alan Parsons, did and said she was good at improvising. When she arrived, they played her the backing track and asked her to go into the sound booth and do ... 'something'. She did a few takes and what you hear on the album is an edited compilation of the 'best' bits. She was paid 30 pounds for her trouble and a taxi home! The saxophonist you admired on this recording was Richard 'Dick' Parry. In jazz, the sax is said to be the wind instrument with an emotional quality closest to the human voice. R (Australia)

If you want to see the band in all their glory live, with the most amazing light show you'll ever see, try the PULSE concert. It's rapturous, and jaw-dropping. The 2nd half of the concert is The Dark Side of the Moon complete. Thanks for posting your reactions!

The sounds have been permeated and reverberated through so much music since then, and yet it still sounds fresh to this day.. Watching you enjoy this album has been truly enjoyable.

Exactly 50 years ago today I heard Dark Side of the Moon for the first time. I went to the Manchester Free Trade Hall where the band were playing. They opened with Dark Side, with quadraphonic speakers around the room. No one had any idea what they were playing because the album was still more than a year away. I was probably a bit younger than you. It changed my life and here I am 50 years absolutely thrilled to see you enjoying it the way I did when i first heard it. The day the album came out I went to my local record shop and waited for them to open the box after they loaded it off the truck. I then listened to the whole album probably 20 times in the next week. On headphones (a luxury back then.) If you want to hear what I heard look for Pink Floyd Manchester Free Trade Hall 1972 here on KZfaq. It was a work in progress, they hadn't come close to finishing recording it at that time. Now you've heard one of the best albums of all time, join me down the rabbit hole. You'll never get over this record. In 50 years maybe you'll be telling some youngster when you first heard it.

@@DaneJacobsonMD I really never got over it. If you listen to the bootleg here on KZfaq for almost the entire show you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was just slack-jawed. I had an old black and white Polaroid camera which I took with me. I got several very good pictures of the back of the head of the guy in front of me! I was on the floor maybe 15 rows from the front directly in front of Rick Wright. When they did Echoes I couldn't figure out where the pinging was coming from. My brother was sitting up in the balcony and was able to see down onto the keyboards so he knew what Wright was doing. But he couldn't see Gilmour because he was directly above him. I could see Gilmour doing the seagulls on the guitar in the middle section. I remember on the way home we were arguing about how they were doing these things. He didn't believe me when I said the seagulls were guitar and I didn't believe him when he said the pinging was piano! Such were the times. It was easy to be dazzled by their creativity. Never thought I'd still be listening to it 50 years later! The young lady who is running this channel has put many a smile on my face. Brilliant to see a young soul "getting it" like we did back then.

Yes, it is incredibly well engineered. That is one part of why it is so good. It has such clarity and crispness, huge stereo separation and imaging, very high dynamic range, etc. And yes, the heartbeat travels round and round - on the album cover too. Do watch the live videos of each song I posted on the side 1 comments to get a full picture of the genius of the band. (unfortunately only 3 of the original 4 members are in the live version, as the lyricist and bass player, Roger Waters split from the group by that time) And watch the documentary with interviews of all the band and the photographer who designed the album cover.... Yes it's a saxophone. And in the live concert videos I posted on side 1, it is the same person as on the album playing the sax. And no it was not 4 or 5 different guitars playing, it was David Gilmour, playing on different tracks then mixed together. But live they can replicate the sound with only one extra guitar player. And no it was not reggae in Money. It was a blues/jazz inspired riff, but in an odd time signature - 7/8 time with lots of syncopation, and the drums use triplets extensively throughout the album. And those sounds you could not identify are an analogue synthesizer.... And they can replicate the chorus with only 3 backup singers on stage, live.

I was lucky enough to witness Pink Floyd play the entire album of The Dark Side of the Moon as the second set of the night. I was totally blown away, the slow realisation that they were actually going to play the whole album live was exhilarating. It was totally unannounced and was a complete surprise for everyone in the audience that night. do you want to know the good part VERDY channel...? you too can also watch the full concert too as Pink Floyd filmed the gig that night and made a live dvd called Pulse.

You have a great attitude and it's nice to see you appreciating this music so much. I'd like to recommend the follow up to this album like others have, Wish You Were Here. In my mind a worthy and equal accompaniment to Dark Side. The entire album is a tribute to their former singer and guitarist Syd Barrett, who was removed from the band due to his deteriorating mental state, made worse by his rampant psychedelic drug use. A very sad story, and one that was revisited several times, most notably in their album and movie The Wall. Knowing the stories behind Wish You Were Here make the album very impactful. The lyrics to Shine On You Crazy Diamond are especially sad, and quite literal. Roger and Syd were childhood friends, and the band loved him dearly. "Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun Shine on you crazy diamond Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky Shine on you crazy diamond" But in the end they seem to have given up on him, and frustrated by his erratic behaviour, simply didn't pick him up for a show one night, and that was it. He was out. I think that they were all haunted by that callous and cold move. "Well you wore out your welcome with random precision" "Come on you target for faraway laughter Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine" While recording the album an overweight and bald man wandered into the studio. No one knew who he was, or why he had no eyebrows. After a long time they realized it was Syd. They spoke with him a short time, trying to connect, but it was hopeless. Members of the band were shook, and in tears seeing the state of him. He never recovered, and died in 2006. It's not just a good album due to the heavy topic, the music is some of their best. Shine On is a masterpiece. If you choose to not do the album, I'd at least recommend the song from their Pulse show.

Struggling with mental illness is a recurring theme in Pink Floyd's work. I do hope Syd was able to beat the demons of schizophrenia and addiction before he died. It's amazing that Syd was only with Pink Floyd for a couple of years, but they never forgot him or his contributions. Syd's influence continued through the decades throughout the life of Pink Floyd.

We were talking about this album in the late 1990's, and he picked up a copy of the CD and shook it "at me" for emphasis and said _"This is Beethoven's 5th [Symphony] of Rock'n'Roll. This will still be selling long after I'm dead!"._

What can one say? Pop/rockmusic reached its pinnacle on 1st March 1973 when this album was released. Ofcourse: there have been great songs and albums before Dark Side Of The Moon and many great ones after. But this really is the one that tops them all. In every way possible. Even 49 (!) years after its release, there is not a note or a word that feels dated or out of time. The prove is given by the expressions of this young woman during this reaction. Many of us have had the same experience and it doesn't matter if it was in 1973, 1978 (when I first heard this record as a whole), 1991 or today in 2022. Hell, they'll probably feel the same way in another 49 years from now.

Welcome to my generation. We hung out in the woods, smoked weed, drank beer, smoked cigarettes. laughed and loved near the fire. We had such a good time in the 70's. Of course, Darkside of the Moon was on, too. One of the best, or perhaps the best, albums ever recorded. The Wall is amazing, too.

When people talk about a concept album, it means that all the songs that compose it, have a point that connects them together, like the hub of a bicycle wheel, connects all the spokes of this wheel. The central theme of this album is: “WHAT DRIVES PEOPLE CRAZY”. (BREATHE); If the performance required in life can drive people crazy. (ON THE RUN); If the frantic rush of life can drive people crazy. (TIME); If the fleeting aspect of passing time can drive people crazy. (THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY); If the thought of the inevitable end (death), can drive people crazy. (MONEY); If love, or lack of money can drive people crazy. (US AND THEM); If the abusive hierarchy between color, power or wealth between US AND THEM can drive people crazy. (ANY COLOR YOU LIKE); If the illusion of being able to choose can drive people crazy. (BRAIN DAMAGE); If the many rules of life (keep off the grass), or the fear of losing your mind can drive people crazy. (ECLIPSE); Since our influence in this world comes down to what is within our reach, "All that you touch, see, taste, love, do, say, etc" then even though the brightness of the sun may be eclipsed by the darkness of the moon.

The 1994 The Division Bell concert tour had an amazing setlist, the final four shows at Earls Court London were filmed and recorded. It became their third live album and a film you can get on DVD and Blu-Ray in 5.1 DTS. Both are known as 'Pulse.' The Deluxe set includes the full Dark Side Of The Moon setlist from two shows where they performed the full album live for the first time since 1974. This was the most expensive, most elaborate concert performed to date, it was also the most profitable, they pioneered many technologies, not only was the album available in Quadraphonic sound, they played it live that way in concert. The DVD or Blu-Ray is worth it at any price, because unless you were there, just this video will likely be the best concert of your life. It also features the greatest guitarist doing the greatest guitar solo and you get to watch him play it live in front of an audience with stage effects that still astound the viewer 30 years later. The Pulse videos are on Pink Floyd's channel and are widely reacted to.

From Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. It's a wise decision to listen to Pink Floyd, especially the full "Dark Side of the Moon" album. When I was a high school student, I was surprised to hear this album. And I was very disappointed to know that they had a concert in Sapporo the previous year, but in 1988 I was able to participate in live performances at the Nippon Budokan and Yoyogi National Stadium in Tokyo, which is still a wonderful experience. I think. Finally, I should add that I am a big fan of BABYMETAL 😄

Great to see yet another generation appreciating and enjoying and blissing out to this absolute classic album. There are some superb documentaries on the making of this album which, if you're interested in the history of music and how new sounds (early analogue synths, multi-track recording, loops, etc) get invented, are all worth watching. This is one of the best - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtBkkpCczZOvoJs.html . You have a wealth of Pink Floyd to explore so looking forward to more reactions over the coming years! PS You missed the last few seconds (we all have missed this the first few tmes!) where the voice (which belonged to an Irish janitor at Abbey Road studios) says "There's no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark." You'll hear it the next time you play this album (best with headphones, in a dark room, 45 minutes of relaxation). The lyrics of all the songs are worth reading too.

For a reaction album, she would need not to have heard it before. I am sure she has heard The Beatles. Certainly? (Riiiight?) She is also covering entire albums. Think of good, cohesive albums. She covered Led Zeppelin I and loved it-again the entire album was great. What about David Bowie? Ziggy Stardust, perhaps? Changes? (My favorite it “Outside” but that is me.) We need to think of albums in their entirety.

"Big Pink" as I like to call them. I saw them twice, 1st time 1971 in Chicago, IL. in the Chi. Auditorium, seating capacity about 3,200 tops. They were playing "Dark Side" in its infancy, they had speakers lining the walls all around hall spaced at about 25 to 30 feet about. The house engineer would use a joystick to make the sound drift back and forth and around. It was so amazing to witness the audience, there reaction was, well you really be challenged to put it words. You may not believe it but in my opinion everybody was stoned and hearing something and orgasmic was...I can remember that concert like it was yesterday. Sidebar: when we went to pickup my car in the garage, the attendant who drove it down wouldn't accept a tip, he just thanked us for a couple brownies that were in the car. Yes magic ones...Peace!

I case you might interested, the jazz equivalent to Dark Side of the Moon is Miles Davis’ “Bitches Brew.” It’s equally as contrapuntal and trippy through perhaps not as accessible to most people’s ear. I absolutely love both albums.
