I know this is a bit random, but here goes. I spent a short period in hospital as a child back in the eighties, and there was a young man from another ward - clearly very sick, in a wheelchair, extremely thin, sores on his body, who came and visited me by my bedside every day. He had one of those old sony walkman cassette players that he would sometimes leave with me so i had some music to listen to. The cassette inside was Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. That was my introduction to this timeless masterpiece and to this complicated band of geniuses & I've been a fan ever since of much of their output - not just Dark Side. But it is strange how some things from your childhood just stick with you, whenever i listen to this album, even now 40+ years later, i think of that young man in that hospital who introduced me to it, unfortunately i don't recall his name. I must have been 12 or 13 years old at the time - and i would say he was probably in his mid 20's or something. It dawned on me when i was a bit older myself that he was more than likely suffering from AIDS & if so, would have died from it as this was a time before any treatment breakthroughs. All i can say kind sir, whoever you were, I always think of you when i play this album and will always be thankful that you introduced me to the incomparable PINK FLOYD 👼💙 For anyone who read the entire comment - well i did warn you at the start that it was bit random.

Nice work Musicbox! Loved the presentation about a one of a kind jewel of an album.

Great videos!!!! Started with your Sgt Pepper video I’m now working my way through all you videos. Great stuff!!!

Music Box USA is the best channel for breaking down an album/band. Love it!

I recently read an interview with David about Dark Side. He said something I never heard before, saying the success was due to dark lyrics being paired with uplifting music. Brilliant.

I love Pink Floyd. The best band from the 70s👍🏼

DSOTM was the first album I ever owned!

Will you do pet sounds?

It's a story that's been told many times but never will it be too many.

10th grade when Dark Side of the Moon came out. Damn, a good amount of volume with a good sounding set of headphones, a Black light, strobe light, and a little LSD, WOW!!!, WHAT AN ALBUM!! 😃

I didnt listen to this album until my senior year in college. I cant remember if someone recommended it or what? I bought the CD, took it home, put it in and it blew me away.

not sure if there's an album which mimics the cadence of life as this one does

Best concept album of all time.

Now, you have to do a new documentary on Water's re-recording of Dark Side of The Moon :)

Best documentary ever

What was the chord that Richard Wright loved so much? (Excellent work btw! Love the channel)

Should Do one on Highway to Hell Album/Bons Death

16:15 Could you imagine Dark Side of the Moon without that title? And I guess that explains the sun. 16:53 Because, if you haven't noticed, Pink Floyd reference the sun a LOT. "You run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again." Fat Old Sun. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. Starting all the way back on Piper with Chapter 24 "Sunrise, sunset" Echos is littered with references to the sun.

I am not a die hard Pink Floyd fan. I admire them but thier pre dark side material really doesnt stand the test of time and I never liked more than just some songs off thier followed albums. However Dark Side was TRULY a master piece even after all these years. They did preform it live for a long time before actually recording the album so they were tight as hell, had Alan providing awesome studio techniques that were groundbreaking. I was privileged to see the original dark side tour at the huge Olimpia stadium in Detroit June 1973. No video show, all anolog, an even though most huge groups of the time would sound like crap in there thier quad surround sound was like listening thru headphones even in the upper deck in the worst possible seats! The Floyd was truly tour hardened back then an after 100s of concerts over a long life that show still stands in a class all its own.

Wait Alan Parsons was the producer? Not the sound engineer and junior guy in the studio?

I wouldn't mind "The Pink Floyd Story: In Their Own Words"

My then solid 2-year relationship with my teen serious girlfriend came to a screeching halt back then 50 years ago when this one-time straight A beautiful student discovered this album and then unfortunately drugs and other guys.........

Do videos about ABBA, Gorillaz, Rush, and The Beach Boys.

Is it just me or it’s sometimes a bit hard to tell Parsons and Gilmour apart? They have such a similar voice and speech pattern!

DID YOU KNOW THAT PINK FLOYD CAN BE USED IN A SUDOKU PUZZLE..... PRETTY COOL HUH Weed Me

I'm a BEATLES nut for sure! But when they first got big in the U.S., I was still 6 years old until June. Among my friends, ya didn't admit you liked the BEATLES, because the girls liked them. 🙂 in 65, I think anyway, the lunch box came out. My grandmother bought me and my 2 younger brothers lunch boxes. I got the BEATLES. I was NOT, going to school with a BEATLES lunch box!! 1 of my brothers got Batman, talked him into a Trade, going to school with Batman was Cool. Wish I had the BEATLES lunch box now, in mint condition!! 😃

El Profesor Daniel Franco Jr Escutia para Presidente de Morelia Michoacán México oh El Profesor Daniel Franco Jr Escutia para Presidente de Cuitzeo Del Porvenir Michoacán México el Pueblo Miajico because I am not a Pintor and i don't belong to any organization or Cartels and i don't have naked women's in my two cellphones

Lucky THIRTEENTH. 😂

Nothing special bout the album, really.

Didn't Linda McCartney say the line "Absolutely in the right that geezer was cruisin for a bruisin"?

the album was produced by pink floyd one of the engineers was alan parsons than his job was the tape engineer he dis figure t the bell loops and cash register on money
