That's the biggest tragedy of the band's final reunion in 2005. Rick gets so little camera time it feels as if he is an extra performer rather than an original member who composed a good chunk of the music.
I believe that all the classics, from music to books, dealing with dystopia, like the genius of Pink Floyd, the lyrical version of a combo of famous dystopic novels, like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World etc were written by members of the Cabal themselves, putting right in our face the truth disguised as entertainment, and the video to this song and the lyrics are basically showing us that we are the subjects in a Truman Show, under a big game sun. All the world's a stage and the world wide web is the New Great Flood.
Between dark side of the moon, the wall, wish you were here, meddle, and, a momentary lapse of reason. Pink Floyd has expanded my mind and, took me to a journey on each album. I’ll always cherish their timeless songs forever.
I never got to listen to the quadraphonic version record as we did not have a stereo that would play it when I was a kid...still got the record...unplayed.
R.I.P Richard Wright ! the guy was a real musical genius of Pink Floyd...... myself as a guitarist and fan of floyd for decades...... I have to tip my hat to Richard Wright! a great composer aswell.... and his singing voice was something else!!
Andre it was very sad day for me when I found out Richard Wright was gone and then I had a stroke and I had to learn it all over it so he died twice to me!
I'm an American. 40 years old. I never went to war. I'm from Alabama. I bought PULSE from K-Mart when I was 14 after saving up working for a summer at a local grocery making $4.15 an hour. This song, and this album is the greatest music ever recorded. I still have my origional Pulse CD set tha cost $30 dollars 25 years ago. the L.E.D.s have long since went out. Dunno why I wrote this comment. I just wanted to say thank you. Pink Floyd's music has enriched my life, and I hope it enriches the lives of many more to come after me.
Good on you......I was at this concert..... My tutor at Cambridge was friends with David Gilmour - they were at school together....and so I have been lucky to see Floyd many times. The finest band of all time and you never tire of them....Us and Them is simply exquisite..... The "grass" that roger sang about was the quad in front of Kings College chapel in cambridge ...goodle it maybe...
I´m 58 years old. I´m from Germany, grown up in Idar-Oberstein. Bought my CD when it came to market. Changing the Battery is no Rocket Sience and easy to do. Good luck 🙂
My late father, who was a lover of early classical music as composed by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky and their peers heard this music one evening from my stereo and was blown away. He was so impressed by the music and the delivery, it was a great moment for me.
My father loved Glenn-Miller, post-war jazz but also pop-rockmusic of the sixties, Santana etc. When he heard Dark Side on my turntable (I was 15 or so), he was thrilled and used it as a musical score for one of his short films that he made, precisely it dealt with the then lead-polluted valley where i live. I helped him eauip the film with music and we bith enjoyed it.
the day i went 14 years i get the dark side album for my birthday. My dad(a totaly no music lover🤔🤨🫣🤫) bought a couple of years before a stereo pick up player. At the evening, I forget to take my album from the pickup and i thought i was dreaming of what i hear. Huh? My dad was playing the album so loud. On and on and on and sing the songs. This was the first time i see him crying with so many tears. It was so unreal and it was break my heart. 2 Weeks later he died. The first i did when i came home from his funeral was playing the album. Again and again. I never forget this day. I hate it and i love it.
Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever. No band can come close to a sound like this. I never tire of it. Can listen to it over and over. I wish it was in Blu-ray thou. Pulse.
Pink Floyd's music is the highest standard or form of rock. No one can go beyond them in terms of Rock Music. Going further is opening the gates to Metal Music.
Pink Floyd is a timeless band with timeless music. Even as the band members age their performances only seem to get better and better. There aren’t many bands that reach that same level of greatness as Pink Floyd. Going further is opening the gates to Metal music my ass. Metal’s great too imo but even metal barely surpasses it. Gilmour can do more with just one note than most can with entire fretboard. It’s almost impossible to perfect the raw emotion that’s expertly put into the music. Edit: Am I given em too much credit? ...nahh
they are suspiciously mum about the genesis of the piece on the DSOTM doc on youtube. Any Colour you like sounds like a very 'acidy' title for this rather wonderful piece of music.

In 1973 I walked with a friend along a beach in Bali. The sun had set long ago and there were stars and a giant moon in the night sky. We were high on mushrooms... very high. We sat down and looked at the sky and the ocean and wondered what it was all about, as you do. Then from somewhere farther down along a beach came a sound. It seemed to gain in volume and I suddenly felt as if I had fallen into a huge pit that was full of strange but pleasant sounding music. It seemed to ask questions, stir up unpleasant feelings... but then always resolve any doubts and give comfort at the same time. We got up and slowly walked toward the source of the music which was a sort of a beach restaurant with coloured lights outside. Inside we saw that everybody was simply smiling and listening. We asked and were told that a fellow traveler had brought this casette and that it was the latest Floyd album. Ever since, Dark Side has been my favourite Floyd album Can you blame me?
I can relate to that. In '73 I was on the Hippy Trail from Europe to India, back when Cyprus, Iran and Afghanistan were cheap, friendly places with good food and other interesting consumables. Thought I'd stop for a couple of weeks in Istanbul which, like Bali, was a great place to hang out. I should say here that my teenage years were the 60's. The Beatles had taken us from teeny pop to Sgt. Pepper's and I thought that there were no limits on what our music couId achieve, but after Altamont, the 70's started slowly. Prog rock became too much prog and not enough rock. Apart from Led Zep, British music seemed a choice between metal or glam rock. Ugh. The North American scene was way more lively but nothing ground breaking. Australian music hadn't gone global yet, except for the BeeGees. Also, when you were budget travelling back then, you had very little access to any English radio. So when, one sunny arvo at the Pudding Shop cafe, some enlightened soul put his DSOTM on the sound system, the effect was just as you described. I was speechless. Not only was it bigger and better than Ummagumma, it was perfect. So good to get hit that way once in a while, I reckon. Last time before that was listening to Highway 61 Revisited in 1966. Ain't music great?
There are no words to describe this group of musicians. As I sit here and listen to them ever since I first heard their album in the late 70s, I am in total awe. I sit here saying to myself…..”Oh, I like how they did that.” Or ”Oh, that was way too cool and so beautiful.” There are no words to describe just how good they are because all of their songs are masterpieces. Pink Floyd is an experience that I hope and pray never ends.
Extraordinary wonderful music...❤ I'm nearly 72 and for the first time I can spent all my time listening to this music I missed it in the 60's/70's. I've heard of PF then, but then I only heard the Wall (we do'nt need education etc..) This is much more beautiful. I like the guitar solo's of David G and the sound of rhe dreamy music at the background. I didn't know that it was this kind of music.❤❤
A music critic said a few years ago, that Dark Side may be the most important “ artistic “ statement of the last 50 years. It’s been my own personal experience ( over the same amount of time) that listening or attending Floyd, always leaves me in a better place. I hope it does for you as well.
It certainly does. So much that I sometimes have dreams revisiting them in concert in the mid 70's and reliving the profound joy of attending their live shows. Very uplifting. I never felt the same with any other music. Every note seems to be engraved in my mind.
I was a little kid when Dark Side came out. I remember listening to it with my teenage uncles while they got high at at my grandparents’ house. Decades later, my teenage son is a Floyd fan. Dark Side of the Moon is a masterpiece that will connect generations of music listeners.
Dark Side of the Moon album was released in 1973. The songs are iconic even after 46 years. Pink Floyd was ahead of their time. A group of intellectual musicians who shaped the music with their own brand of iconic music, which one does not tire of listening every day.
David Gilmour once said in an interview that he is sorry for not knowing what it feels like to hear the Dark Side of the Moon for the first time. I kept thinking, Wow, how terrible that must be. OMG! And I'm also immensely grateful to be alive at the same time this band was complete. I was able to watch the Roger Waters Us + Them tour recently. In this vastness of finite time that exists in the history of the universe, it is a pleasure and honor to be a contemporary of such a remarkable band in the history of music. And you too, who appreciate good music. Thank you very much.
Us and THEM is my all time favorite song. I've demanded it be played at my funeral. For years i thought Any color you like was part of Us and them. It just seems to complete it.
David and Polly tell us "as it is" and take no prisoners with their lyrics and all the band members are outstanding musicians and the backing chorus girls 👭. I love the Us and them and all the masterpieces the Floyd have produced. The dvds are a great night cap with jvc headphones on and listening to the Floyd 5/6 nights a week.
@@paulyabe tell me more my man. I will. Guess either ur a musician who lives in England that could be his 50 s. Weight 230 and is 6 foot 4. Gets laid slot and has a receding hairline
Crossing south Florida near sunset. Storms had swept across the state and left the land glistening green. To the east massive dark thunderclouds sat over the coast. In front of them was one of the biggest rainbows I have ever seen. To the west the entire sky was lit up with the sunset. Then Us and Then played on my car stereo. Simple but incredible moment. Us and Them is such a powerful piece of music.
I was 13 when this came out, I remember listening to this at my brothers house in Lompoc California where he lived after getting out of the Air Force. He had a bose system he got in Germany and got to hear the "latest" Pink Floyd album on the stereo on headphones. No other album personifies the 70s for me than this masterpiece.
That part was my first experience to feel the music the way that I had never experienced before at the age of 30, I admit that I was little high, I wonder what those four bars meant
Of course, it gives me chills the following transition too, for me these 3 songs together don't have any logical explanation, this closing episode is damn truly Magic
Pink Floyd never gets old. David is a musical genius and my favorite guitar player. The Floyd will live forever. I am so thankful I got to see them in concert on the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in Atlanta. I will forever remember that show. My very first concert and the best.
Without a doubt the greatest band ever... from the Small Faces to the awesome might of Pink Floyd... how lucky was I to be born surrounded in this... so brilliant....!!!!
I absolutely love the way the percussionist enjoy the rhythm at 8:30 , it's me everytime this part of the song arrives, I slap my hands on everything i got in front of me, following the pace. Masterpiece.
Saw them at an outdoor show at Atlanta GA's Fulton County Stadium in 74 on summer Saturday night. The rain had stopped about an hour before the show. Started with One Of These Days, went into other songs, played DSOTM all the way through and closed the show with Echoes. The stage was a giant white pyramid. The circular screen was in the top, separated portion of the pyramid (like the pyramid on our bill$). Such a great stage show with lots of props and effects that effectively used the whole stadium, including a model airliner that crashed into the stage. We had done our chemistry homework before the show. Like a religious experience that includes the mind as well as the heart. Thank you PF.
When you see the footage from these live concerts you realize how important each persons part is in the equation. Take one away and it's not the same. I can understand David Gilmour not wanting to move forward with Pink Floyd without Richard Wright. Totally get it.
Drugs???? no need - listened to this masterpiece at the album dark side of the moon - helped me to my no so lucky youth - when iwas 13, 14 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 20, dreamed about a better future - now i grew up - decades later - still listening - still get goosebumps and think - no one at this world might feel the same as id do listening to this song - it opens my mind .... - i´m german so it´s hard for me to tell in english what this music means to me ... it´s amazing .. never gets boring.....do you feel like i do??? can´t imagine.....when the slow us and them turns to any colour you like....wow....so sad that my wife is not able to feel the same.... i´m older now, wise? don´t know, but still i´m able to feel the pain i felt those days .. and this is true...it´s like a trip through time for me...to be able to feel the emotions - and i really mean the SAME emotions i felt in my youth.....i feel them know----just need to listen to those old songs i feel young - unfortunately sad - but young!!!!!! dont´t believe there will ever such a talented group of musicians - hope to see them in concert when i go to heaven... :-)
@Alan H Hi Alan, thank you for your post, it really means something to me! I also have children, and also i try to things better, think i do it right, they seem to be lucky, they talk with with me (with my wife - with both of us), i think, each one of us has the chance to makes things better - i try to! It would be perfect if they would like the music of our times, and not the "shit" they sell actually-----
I'm listening to this every single day. I like this version better than the album version because of the images complementing the sound. They really help in getting the message through.
Such power, truth and wisdom. depth, understanding, articulation and all encompassing music. I doubt there will ever be an album to match it again. What an amazing legacy to leave behind. Thank you Floyd, you make the world a better place, ALWAYS!
This has to be one of the best sounding live recordings ever. I saw Floyd on May 1st 1994 in Birmingham Alabama. I was 13 years old and it's still one of the highlights of my life, right along with seeing Phish in the Everglades.
I totally agree . Delicate Sound of Thunder Nimway (nijmegen / the netherlands) 60 K people in Goffert park and a show that never got surpassed by no one ever., not even by P.F. themselves in 1994 "on their; 'officially'; final tour ( 1994 rotterdam/ the netherlands) reading some other comments ,many people seem to think this tour was called Pulse but that's just the name of the so called live album ( heavily edited and digitally remastered)released to commemorate the tour which was called "the division bell tour".
Dick Parry is a magician with the sax.....As a mater of fact- they are all so cool- playing this amazing music, straight out of their souls with nary a drop of sweat shed...true professional musicians.I am always in such awe of them...no weird costumes, antics, or acrobatics...pure music for the ages-
music has been around for 1000s of years , but recording music only a 100 yrs , give the future our art exactly as we wanted it to be heard for the next 10000 yrs . seems pretty significant
On the 13th of January 2023 this song now makes perfect sense . Now 50 years later we are fixing the problem . A beautiful new world awaits us & these guys knew it way back then the first time I heard it . Bless You Pink Floyd for your insight .
Absolutely. Especially just now. 2024's been crackerjacks. Riots, racial tensions, war, nuclear threat, organised crime using kids, people killing their own kids, global warming driven by greed - the more things change, the more they remain....insane. Then you listen to Floyd...
I do not believe Floyd can grasp how great they are or how legendary their music makes one feel. Reason, because they cannot be the audience! They appreciate themselves as the Floyd but we the audience has an experience that only we can grasp. I do not believe there will be another band that can do it like the Floyd. #Timeless
Above all others pink Floyd has always stood out from the crowd.This band has more power than the power of life itself and will be what is playing in my head when I leave this earth...
Iam humbled and amazed with all who participated in this orchestra it is shocking to me that a band like pink Floyd would be honoured this way thank you all and god bless
i had a discussion with a friend who totally loves the symphonies of the 19th century and of course said he thinks todays music is crap in comparison. i asked him what the meaning of these symphonies were and of course there is none. he said music doesn't have to have meaning - but, i asked him, wouldn't it be better if symphonies had meaning (lyrics or a concept)?? i introduced him to DSotM and he became an instant fan of "some" modern music. next was WYWH and The Wall - he is now a pink floyd fan
Some musicians get better with age... some bands too. Pink Floyd is exactly like wine. I used to listen to this album when I was a kid, now it sounds 201239x better / more impressive. Thanks for the upload. PS: "Any Colour You Like" is one of the best songs to smoke weed ever-ever created.
I saw Pink Floyd on the Dark Side of the Moon tour This is by far the best Pink Floyd video I have ever seen in my life It combines the original images from the movie screen behind the band from the tour in 1973 with David Gilmour Nick Mason and Richard Wright performing it live Really truly beautiful video amazing touched my heart
@Harris you're right! This is the best version of Dark Side, everyone is in sync and in their prime. Original background flic makes you feel like your there!! The Greatest Ever!!
I was looking at the moon through MEADE INSTRUMENT I could not see the Dark Side, but just because I can not see it, dose not mean it is not there. Even "if" the moon is flat.
They played on and on for years to perfect it and everything was perfect with lyrics / composition / delivery / timing / vocals / music / stage design / lighting / pyro techniques / the system of e quipments gave the perfect blending to deliver what was designed and they delivered with great humility, Grace and simplicity to the cruel world called music.
Fantastic! I always felt that "Money" did not belong on this side of the album. I played side two of DSOTM without "Money" many times when I hospital for a long time and it gave me a lot of comfort. Still love it.
Don't know if this happens only in Italy, but whoever decided to tear apart a Pink Floyd live show with an ad (after 7 minutes) must surely have some kind of BRAIN DAMAGE.
Best album ever. I can't get enough of the Dark Side Of The Moon. I have listened to it countless times throughout the years, and it still touches my soul on a very deep emotional level. It never gets boring for me. A perfect flawless masterpiece. When I pop this beauty in my record player or watch and listen to a video on UA-cam like now, or Spotify it, no matter what, I know I am going to have a good time. A spiritual moment to reflect on my life and feel the very essence of my being within me and get lost in the beauty of this magical album! And syncing it to The Wizard Of Oz is freaking EPIC! Best album ever. It has been my opinion for years and I listen to a lot of music! My opinion have still remained unchanged no matter how much beautiful awesome music I have discovered through the years. Dark Side Of The Moon will remain the best album and I will always listen to it regularly no matter what music I am currently exploring, I always go back to this one. Until I die. Shorter of breath, one day closer to death.
Still have and cherish my ticket and shirt from this experience back in 94 in Oakland CA, none of us knew it that it would be the last Floyd concert we will ever see live, there are millions like me but I'm sure each of us feels like one in a million
Finally, a camera on Rick for a change... He truly deserves respect. RIP Rick.
He was the backbone as far as I'm concerned and I knew when he died there was no chance of a reunion.
The best of the best
The best of the best
YES! Rick deserves so much more respect.
He was the unforgetable part of the pink's sounds. I love his discret sed wanderful touch
No matter how many times you listen to this album it never gets old. It’s great high or sober.
100% agreed
Yep!
I've been listening to this album since 1979. It NEVER gets old!
That's the biggest tragedy of the band's final reunion in 2005. Rick gets so little camera time it feels as if he is an extra performer rather than an original member who composed a good chunk of the music.
Tomorrow for 50 years already
I think this is the biggest music masterpiece ever
TIME IS BETTER!

Why the hell there is no Pulse in Blu-Ray ? This is very odd !
Pink Floyd is a timeless band with timeless music. Even as the band members age their performances only seem to get better and better. There aren’t many bands that reach that same level of greatness as Pink Floyd. Going further is opening the gates to Metal music my ass. Metal’s great too imo but even metal barely surpasses it.

Agreed with the agreer.
It still baffles me that at some point, this music was playing in a persons mind before ever being put to instrument. What imagination.
These lads brought us on quite a journey to say the least
No series of songs were ever this beautiful. Dark Side of the Moon was essentially perfect.
I don't see how there can ever be a band like Pink Floyd again. They were so beautifully, wonderfully unique. God bless them.
Whenever I hear the intro to the pulse version, I just want to hug someone. And the chorus hits, I just want to cry. I was born in 1991 btw.
I seen an interview with Gilmore and with stirred emotions he said that there could not be Pink Floyd without Richard Wright. I agree
There are no words to describe this group of musicians. As I sit here and listen to them ever since I first heard their album in the late 70s, I am in total awe. I sit here saying to myself…..”Oh, I like how they did that.” Or ”Oh, that was way too cool and so beautiful.” There are no words to describe just how good they are because all of their songs are masterpieces.

As a wise person once said, there are always words. You just have to work to find them.
Extraordinary wonderful music...❤ I'm nearly 72 and for the first time I can spent all my time listening to this music I missed it in the 60's/70's. I've heard of PF then, but then I only heard the Wall (we do'nt need education etc..)
This is much more beautiful. I like the guitar solo's of David G and the sound of rhe dreamy music at the background. I didn't know that it was this kind of music.❤❤
A music critic said a few years ago, that Dark Side may be the most important “ artistic “ statement of the last 50 years. It’s been my own personal experience ( over the same amount of time) that listening or attending Floyd, always leaves me in a better place. I hope it does for you as well.
It certainly does. So much that I sometimes have dreams revisiting them in concert in the mid 70's and reliving the profound joy of attending their live shows. Very uplifting. I never felt the same with any other music. Every note seems to be engraved in my mind.
Any Colour you like is so cool; this is one of my favorite versions.
I was a little kid when Dark Side came out. I remember listening to it with my teenage uncles while they got high at at my grandparents’ house. Decades later, my teenage son is a Floyd fan. Dark Side of the Moon is a masterpiece that will connect generations of music listeners.
Dark Side of the Moon album was released in 1973. The songs are iconic even after 46 years. Pink Floyd was ahead of their time. A group of intellectual musicians who shaped the music with their own brand of iconic music, which one does not tire of listening every day.
The Dark Side of The Moon is not an Album, is not a Disk, it's a Delicate Symphony divided in parts.
no its not its a concept album mate prob the thes concept album ever made
and you're a pretentious twat.
Hey is this a part of a complete album performance.....i want a link if thats the case, it sounds even more legendary here
its a concept album
Its life
My Dad left his record collection for me ..but even when i was younger we shared the music together! miss him lots
The greatest concert in history by the greatest band in history with the greatest guitarist in history. Period.
The Dark Side of the Moon it's not an album that defines not only a beautiful time in music it defines an amazing achievement in humanity...
What legends, we are privileged to have experienced this in our lifetime.
This is a piece of 20th century history: should be studied in schools along with books. Fantastic music !
Us and Them my Favorite Pink Floyd song on the best album ever produced in the world! This album is worth turning the volume knob up past 11!
As I currently am....Bliss
David Gilmour once said in an interview that he is sorry for not knowing what it feels like to hear the Dark Side of the Moon for the first time. I kept thinking, Wow, how terrible that must be. OMG!
And I'm also immensely grateful to be alive at the same time this band was complete. I was able to watch the Roger Waters Us + Them tour recently. In this vastness of finite time that exists in the history of the universe, it is a pleasure and honor to be a contemporary of such a remarkable band in the history of music. And you too, who appreciate good music. Thank you very much.
Us and THEM is my all time favorite song. I've demanded it be played at my funeral.
For years i thought Any color you like was part of Us and them. It just seems to complete it.
Listen. Then i close My pues of David Gilmour. Is tje better melody. Tha song of My funeral
Yes me too.
June 20th 1975. Three Rivers.
Still so fresh. SO VIVID. BEYOND words . . . Pink Floyd in my heart and soul forever.
Richard Wright would've been 75 today. This edit is fantastic.
The underrated genius in the band.
Sad hes not still here still making our souls sing!!
David and Polly tell us "as it is" and take no prisoners with their lyrics and all the band members are outstanding musicians and the backing chorus girls 👭. I love the Us and them and all the masterpieces the Floyd have produced. The dvds are a great night cap with jvc headphones on and listening to the Floyd 5/6 nights a week.
R.I.P
Brit Floyd is closed it's not Pink Floyd
Amazing! Pink Floyd will be looked back upon in eternity as true master musicians and composers as they should be!
The absolute most timeless album ever..
More than 40 years ago I first heard this and it still gives me goose bumps. Pink Floyd nailed it. XXX
More than just music it’s total art work. This music will never die just gets better with age.
If I had a time machine, I'd use it to go back to amazing concerts that I wish i would've been a part of. My 2 year old loves Pulse a lot, too.
the most gorgeous piece of music ever written...just saying. RIP Richard Wright.
I heartily agree 200%! Also, Richard Wright would be 76 now if he was still alive !
Rick Wright. Not much said about him hence I can tell u r a real floydian
@@paulbroseman1401 his death has affected me more than most other rockers that have left us
@@paulyabe tell me more my man. I will. Guess either ur a musician who lives in England that could be his 50 s. Weight 230 and is 6 foot 4. Gets laid slot and has a receding hairline
@@paulbroseman1401 what? The only thing close is I was a musician, not in England.
I'v been listening Pink Floyd music for 50 years and I'm still amused after all these years, amused to death
Crossing south Florida near sunset. Storms had swept across the state and left the land glistening green. To the east massive dark thunderclouds sat over the coast. In front of them was one of the biggest rainbows I have ever seen. To the west the entire sky was lit up with the sunset. Then Us and Then played on my car stereo. Simple but incredible moment. Us and Them is such a powerful piece of music.
I always feel cheated whenever I hear Pink Floyd on the radio because they always cut the music short. I wish they played the full album. 🤘🎵🎶🎸
I was 13 when this came out, I remember listening to this at my brothers house in Lompoc California where he lived after getting out of the Air Force. He had a bose system he got in Germany and got to hear the "latest" Pink Floyd album on the stereo on headphones. No other album personifies the 70s for me than this masterpiece.
How I regret I was not at this Pink Floyd concert the year this came out
the transition from any color you like to brain damage gives me chills
The saxophone solo and chorus during 5:02 - 5:30 is just true genius
That part was my first experience to feel the music the way that I had never experienced before at the age of 30, I admit that I was little high, I wonder what those four bars meant
@@mithraparast7041 excellent comment
Of course, it gives me chills the following transition too, for me these 3 songs together don't have any logical explanation, this closing episode is damn truly Magic
i got an ad just then
Pink Floyd never gets old. David is a musical genius and my favorite guitar player. The Floyd will live forever. I am so thankful I got to see them in concert on the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in Atlanta. I will forever remember that show. My very first concert and the best.
Without a doubt the greatest band ever... from the Small Faces to the awesome might of Pink Floyd... how lucky was I to be born surrounded in this... so brilliant....!!!!
I absolutely love the way the percussionist enjoy the rhythm at 8:30 , it's me everytime this part of the song arrives, I slap my hands on everything i got in front of me, following the pace. Masterpiece.
09:29 this part was delete from restored and reedited
Gary Wallis!!
Genius, sheer genius. Been listening for almost 50 years. Here's to 50 more.
Saw them at an outdoor show at Atlanta GA's Fulton County Stadium in 74 on summer Saturday night. The rain had stopped about an hour before the show. Started with One Of These Days, went into other songs, played DSOTM all the way through and closed the show with Echoes. The stage was a giant white pyramid. The circular screen was in the top, separated portion of the pyramid (like the pyramid on our bill$). Such a great stage show with lots of props and effects that effectively used the whole stadium, including a model airliner that crashed into the stage. We had done our chemistry homework before the show. Like a religious experience that includes the mind as well as the heart. Thank you PF.
When you see the footage from these live concerts you realize how important each persons part is in the equation. Take one away and it's not the same. I can understand David Gilmour not wanting to move forward with Pink Floyd without Richard Wright. Totally get it.
Drugs???? no need - listened to this masterpiece at the album dark side of the moon - helped me to my no so lucky youth - when iwas 13, 14 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 20, dreamed about a better future - now i grew up - decades later - still listening - still get goosebumps and think - no one at this world might feel the same as id do listening to this song - it opens my mind .... - i´m german so it´s hard for me to tell in english what this music means to me ... it´s amazing .. never gets boring.....do you feel like i do??? can´t imagine.....when the slow us and them turns to any colour you like....wow....so sad that my wife is not able to feel the same....
i´m older now, wise? don´t know, but still i´m able to feel the pain i felt those days .. and this is true...it´s like a trip through time for me...to be able to feel the emotions - and i really mean the SAME emotions i felt in my youth.....i feel them know----just need to listen to those old songs i feel young - unfortunately sad - but young!!!!!! dont´t believe there will ever such a talented group of musicians - hope to see them in concert when i go to heaven... :-)
@Alan H Hi Alan, thank you for your post, it really means something to me!
I also have children, and also i try to things better, think i do it right, they seem to be lucky, they talk with with me (with my wife - with both of us), i think, each one of us has the chance to makes things better - i try to! It would be perfect if they would like the music of our times, and not the "shit" they sell actually-----
The most beautiful/haunting song of all time. Ageless and relevant since the day it was written
I'm listening to this every single day. I like this version better than the album version because of the images complementing the sound. They really help in getting the message through.
pink floyd is the best that happened to the world
and the Beatles
1. The Beatles 2. Pink Floyd
Such power, truth and wisdom. depth, understanding, articulation and all encompassing music. I doubt there will ever be an album to match it again. What an amazing legacy to leave behind. Thank you Floyd, you make the world a better place, ALWAYS!
This has to be one of the best sounding live recordings ever. I saw Floyd on May 1st 1994 in Birmingham Alabama. I was 13 years old and it's still one of the highlights of my life, right along with seeing Phish in the Everglades.
This wonderful music makes me float to another dimension. Is a real trip. Thanks to Pink Floyd the greatest and of all times. Happy 2020 to everyone
Agreed 100%
I've been a live music fan for decades, I saw Pink Floyd in Manchester 1988, still the best concert I have ever seen.
I totally agree . Delicate Sound of Thunder Nimway (nijmegen / the netherlands) 60 K people in Goffert park and a show that never got surpassed by no one ever., not even by P.F. themselves in 1994 "on their; 'officially'; final tour ( 1994 rotterdam/ the netherlands) reading some other comments ,many people seem to think this tour was called Pulse but that's just the name of the so called live album ( heavily edited and digitally remastered)released to commemorate the tour which was called "the division bell tour".
Your don't get greatness like this these days, too many producers, not enough creators.
Dick Parry is a magician with the sax.....As a mater of fact- they are all so cool- playing this amazing music, straight out of their souls with nary a drop of sweat shed...true professional musicians.I am always in such awe of them...no weird costumes, antics, or acrobatics...pure music for the ages-
music has been around for 1000s of years , but recording music only a 100 yrs , give the future our art exactly as we wanted it to be heard for the next 10000 yrs . seems pretty significant
Till this day, it remains the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
48 years and counting and the powers that be have not changed that much since I started listening. thank god for this music to offset the madness.
So true!
On the 13th of January 2023 this song now makes perfect sense .
Now 50 years later we are fixing the problem .
A beautiful new world awaits us & these guys knew it way back then the first time I heard it .
Bless You Pink Floyd for your insight .
Absolutely. Especially just now. 2024's been crackerjacks. Riots, racial tensions, war, nuclear threat, organised crime using kids, people killing their own kids, global warming driven by greed - the more things change, the more they remain....insane. Then you listen to Floyd...
I do not believe Floyd can grasp how great they are or how legendary their music makes one feel. Reason, because they cannot be the audience! They appreciate themselves as the Floyd but we the audience has an experience that only we can grasp. I do not believe there will be another band that can do it like the Floyd. #Timeless
They can be inaudience of Brit floyd
J BLAA's -- Profound, no seriously.... very astute. Perfect!!!
Perfect
i agree in an interview gilmore said id love to be an audience member so i could just sit back and listen
Above all others pink Floyd has always stood out from the crowd.This band has more power than the power of life itself and will be what is playing in my head when I leave this earth...
this is though most beautiful music i have ever heard in my life, been listening to it for 35 years !!
Nick's delight during the performance of this song is remarkable.
What a BEAUTIFUL rendition of Us and Them! Just wow. I love a lot of PF, and I sometimes think Us and Them is the loveliest thing they ever did.
Iam humbled and amazed with all who participated in this orchestra it is shocking to me that a band like pink Floyd would be honoured this way thank you all and god bless
i had a discussion with a friend who totally loves the symphonies of the 19th century and of course said he thinks todays music is crap in comparison. i asked him what the meaning of these symphonies were and of course there is none.
he said music doesn't have to have meaning - but, i asked him, wouldn't it be better if symphonies had meaning (lyrics or a concept)??
i introduced him to DSotM and he became an instant fan of "some" modern music.
next was WYWH and The Wall - he is now a pink floyd fan
Some musicians get better with age... some bands too. Pink Floyd is exactly like wine.
I used to listen to this album when I was a kid, now it sounds 201239x better / more impressive.
Thanks for the upload.
PS: "Any Colour You Like" is one of the best songs to smoke weed ever-ever created.
Iv'e tried both......"with or without" weed !!!! cheers Henry....
I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan since the 70s ... I just love their Sound, music.. it takes me somewhere else!
I raised my kids listening to Floyd 🙌🏻
Me to. Never been anything else quite like it.
Good parenting
My 20 year old son loves Rap and Floyd.
My first concert at the L.A. sports arena...we were so young
Amo
Have listened to Pink Floyd for most of 50 years, love them, they still just wear me out.
Best live concert in the history of music!
To see Pink Floyd live is an experience of a lifetime and I’m glad that I had this opportunity in 1994
The Dark Side. A masterpiece. I will never forget the concert from the 70's. Four channel sound. Three hours of Pink Floyd. Mind-blowing!
I know that I would not survive the current times without Pink Floyd. THANK YOU!
Right or left, no one can dispute the truth of the lyrics. The heart aches at this beauty.
One day UA-cam will take this video away from us just like the previous one was and this masterpiece will be lost once more
I saw Pink Floyd on the Dark Side of the Moon tour
This is by far the best Pink Floyd video I have ever seen in my life
It combines the original images from the movie screen behind the band from the tour in 1973 with David Gilmour Nick Mason and Richard Wright performing it live
Really truly beautiful video amazing touched my heart
La historia de una judía que se vuelve Católica y se muere finalmente la historia
@Harris you're right! This is the best version of Dark Side, everyone is in sync and in their prime. Original background flic makes you feel like your there!! The Greatest Ever!!
I saw Roger do dsom tour and wall tour. That's only thing missing
I was looking at the moon through MEADE INSTRUMENT I could not see the Dark Side, but just because I can not see it, dose not mean it is not there. Even "if" the moon is flat.
Harris Rosenberg i agree ☝🏻 👍🏻✌🏻🤙🏻
Been listening to Floyd since the 70's, still listen to them most weekends. No other band for me!
They played on and on for years to perfect it and everything was perfect with lyrics / composition / delivery / timing / vocals / music / stage design / lighting / pyro techniques / the system of e quipments gave the perfect blending to deliver what was designed and they delivered with great humility, Grace and simplicity to the cruel world called music.
US and THEM. More relevant than ever! Good on ya Roger for seeing this. And Thank you for the music I have loved all my life.
Got hooked on Pink Floyd since I was 12 or 13... now at 46 still haven't overgrown it...
1973 here, 16 years old
Fantastic! I always felt that "Money" did not belong on this side of the album. I played side two of DSOTM without "Money" many times when I hospital for a long time and it gave me a lot of comfort. Still love it.
Wow, the remastered Pulse recordings are outstanding.
Solo me queda dar las gracias por haberme sacado del abismo de la depresión, me refugie en sus canciones y el tiempo junto con pink floyd lo sanó todo
Increíble; felicidades.
Thank you Richard.
Went to Earls Court, to one of the shows, took my Son aged 5yrs old.He is 30 now and still remembers it.
Saw Pink Floyd on their "Animals" tour at the Oakland Colessium Arena. The round screen behind the stage was in 3D. (Windowpane helped).
Don't know if this happens only in Italy, but whoever decided to tear apart a Pink Floyd live show with an ad (after 7 minutes) must surely have some kind of BRAIN DAMAGE.
Best album ever. I can't get enough of the Dark Side Of The Moon. I have listened to it countless times throughout the years, and it still touches my soul on a very deep emotional level. It never gets boring for me. A perfect flawless masterpiece. When I pop this beauty in my record player or watch and listen to a video on UA-cam like now, or Spotify it, no matter what, I know I am going to have a good time. A spiritual moment to reflect on my life and feel the very essence of my being within me and get lost in the beauty of this magical album! And syncing it to The Wizard Of Oz is freaking EPIC! Best album ever. It has been my opinion for years and I listen to a lot of music! My opinion have still remained unchanged no matter how much beautiful awesome music I have discovered through the years. Dark Side Of The Moon will remain the best album and I will always listen to it regularly no matter what music I am currently exploring, I always go back to this one. Until I die. Shorter of breath, one day closer to death.
Thanks for Sharing..
God Bless You All..
Still have and cherish my ticket and shirt from this experience back in 94 in Oakland CA, none of us knew it that it would be the last Floyd concert we will ever see live, there are millions like me but I'm sure each of us feels like one in a million
I LOVE RICK'S VOICE MAN, REST IN PEACE, YOU LEGEND.
