      @@rjisasavage I don’t know if you went back and read lyrics, but the lyrics on this album are some of the best lyrics I’ve ever heard. The deepness of what they talk about and how they say it could truly be up there with the great poets in history and they just happen to be in one of the best albums in history as well. This album in my opinion is one of humanities greatest accompaniments in art, there might be albums out there that you like more, but there are no albums that are this perfect in every way, if this album came out right now for the first time it would blow everything and everyone who heard it away and it’s 50+ years old. Super happy you got to enjoy it. You never get your first time hearing dark side back so it’s awesome you have it on video, I would pay mass amounts of money to be able to experience dark side of the moon again for the first time. It’s frustrating that I can’t to be honest….. haha

      Glad you mentioned that; My wife and I were talking about this just a day or two ago. Story goes that when PF approached him to produce this, they had little money left to pay for his "magic touch", which was expensive even then; So they came to an agreement: One percent of the gross sales for DSOTM--in perpetuity. She says it's $400 million and counting. Not too shabby for a single project--I think you could say he's set!

    Imagine how we felt in 1973 when this came out! I mean this was done in the analog era when there were no computers to help with mixing an album. David Gilmour the lead guitarist & main singer for Floyd said that a recording session with them was like putting on a concert! This album honestly sounds like it could have come out yesterday let alone 50 years ago! One last thing you should watch the video "Echoes" from "Pink Floyd live in Pompeii 1972" to see what they looked like when they were your age. They play a whole concert in an empty ancient Roman Amphitheater. That ought to give you some idea of the atmosphere for that concert. Again just do the song "Echoes" from that particular concert footage!!

    I am 52 years old. My brother took me to The Wall concert when I was 10 and i have been a hard core Pink Floyd fan ever since. 42 years later I still listen to them every day. It's my "therapy".
    Over the last year I have been watching younger people like you discover them. Sometimes, it can saddens me because it seems a lot of your generation either can't comprehend what they are hearing or lack the attention span to make it through a song.
    Seeing you react has revived my faith in the future. Spread the word to your friends. Anyone you think has a chance of appreciating it.
    As a fan who is very familiar with their entire catalog, I would like to suggest complete albums. That is how they were created. As an album. Not a collection of songs. Wish You Were Here album. Animals album. The Wall. All very beautiful pieces to explore.

    It's been nearly fifty (!) years since this came out; And yet, every time I put on this record it's as though I'm hearing it for the first time--again. Every song, every lyric, every voice, every instrument and sound effect is seared into my consciousness; It was breathtaking then, and still is now--almost other-worldly. It was fun watching your reactions while hearing this for the first time, Andre, because your responses were pretty damned close to what mine were way back then, when I was twenty-two or three. I'll admit I teared up at the same time as when you pointed out that you had! How truly great that music was (still is!) that it could move people of different generations, cultures, colors. Just goes to show that good music is timeless and universal. Made me wonder how they could possibly follow this up--and yet they did with what I consider equally good music, especially one "Wish You Were Here" (or "Animals", or "The Wall"...) So glad you did this, and to be able to share your experience--peace & tranquility, and keep up the good work--I'm a subscriber now.

    Great great great reaction! Love to see when someone gets and appreciates Pink Floyd and all their layers right away. Make sure to listen to each album in one sitting/reaction. For some albums imperative you experience them that way, others it's just highly recommended. Most will say Wish You Were Here next which is the next album, but I feel you should go backwards a little bit and do Meddle from 1971, then Obscured By Clouds from 1972, then jump to Wish You Were Here from 1975 and progress forward with Animals from 1977, The Wall from 1979, The Final Cut from 1983, A Momentary Lapse Of Reason from 1987, 1994's Division Bell, their last album The Endless River, then double back to pre-1971 albums. It's also highly recommended you watch the Live At Pompeii concert from 1972 and 1995's PULSE which many people say is the best live concert ever recorded, both visually and musically. All that will blow your mind. As amazing as Dark Side is, there's no consensus as to what their best album is. Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall are chosen as the best pretty evenly. Looking forward to more. Incidently, Comfortably Numb from The Wall may be the best song ever recorded by anyone, with the live guitar solo from PULSE being the best live performance of all time by anyone.

    It was a joy watching you become "Floyded"! 😄
    If I might be so bold to suggest, in 1994 Pink Floyd went on what I believe was their final tour, the Division Bell tour. Pink Floyd was always known for their spectacular live shows, and on this last hurrah, they blew out all the stops. It was recorded and released on DVD (and CD) as the Pulse concert, and while any song from that show is worth watching ~it really was a fantastic show~ they brought down the house with "Comfortably Numb". It is ~arguably~ one of the best concert performances ever recorded. Guitarist David Gilmour has two solos, and the second one is just....epic.
    FYI, most Floyd albums were designed as basically one 'work' per album side. Each song flowed into the next, with one break to flip the album. So on most Floyd albums, you can let one song play right into the next ~ if you're so inclined. Also, Pink Floyd has never been about personal fame ~ they believe it's the music that's important, not them. So if you do react to this live performance, take note of how many times the band members are lit from the sides, or the back, rather than from the front.

      Unfortunately by the time they initiated that tour, it had been five years or so since the somewhat mercurial Roger Waters had parted company with his band mates over personal differences, and he was responsible for writing the great majority of PF's music (post-departure of Syd Barrett, that is); So it was almost as though the Beatles were to carry on after the loss of John Lennon (and realistically, without most of Paul's considerable contributions as well). Would their music have been great, if the remaining three had decided to continue? Sure, but...

    The absolute premium time I heard this was with a group of friends, many years ago, and we'd all had mushroom tea. Yes. Those kind. This album had us all flying around the room, metaphorically. It was VERY strong tea but organic. We were all deliriously, wonderfully, joyously happy at the same time. Only Floyd can do this. "Any colour you like"? Oh yes, we saw them all and some we had never seen before. AWESOME reaction Andre. Subbed.
    EDIT I am in no way promoting, advocating or suggesting, others should take any illegal substances of any kind and particularly not under the age of 21.

    I'm 60, and after listening to DSOM over, and over, after hearing Their earlier music, "Echoes", then with Wish You Were Here, and Animals, the world, and I, were collectively stunned at the
    consecutive Masterpieces, then my older brother and I went and got The Wall, and I can remember it so well, as I listened, and looked at the album thinking, there is no way
    that they have created cartoon characters of main characters, and not have a Movie in the works. They did not disappoint, They never do. Consummate Artists/Musicians,
    surely Richard Wright RIP was friends with John Paul Jones, both were/are, Masters of Arrangement, and Orchestration. So much PF Goodness yet to come. Enjoy.

    I saw them perform this entire album live in the 70's. They had a movie playing on a round screen behind the band with a lightshow. There was a model of an airplane hanging in the back of the stadium (8-10ft long) which was on a zipline to the stage. It was released on the last song and headed straight into the giant round screen. Mindblowing concert!🌈

    I'm 3 months late to this party… but I'm surprised that I didn't see anyone provide the important context that this album was the band's reaction in the aftermath of their former front-man, Syd Barrett, going completely and certifiably insane. Which would have a profound impact on anyone. It made them deeply philosophical about life… and what is and isn't considered sane in a world filled to the brim with irrationality. And a very finite life that catches up with us before we realize how quickly it's passing.
