"And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun"
962 weeks on the Billboard top 200 charts. Let that sink in 🤔
now its only 11 weeks off a 1000
Pink Floyd are Musical Geniuses !
Alan parsons should not be forgotten! He’s brilliant! Not sure if you’ve reacted to his solo stuff…but I wouldn’t wanna be like you and eye in the sky are great!
Thanks guys…best reaction channel out there!
Dark Side of the Moon synched with The Wizard of Oz is AMAZING!
Alan Parsons was the producer of this masterpiece and also worked on Sargent Peppers Hearts Club Band what a resume. You guy need to dive into his solo career. What a way to start the weekend thanks guys!!
All while he was in his early 20’s.
This statement did the rounds back in 2005 : "Details of the settlement have not been disclosed - but experts guess the sum could be hundreds of thousands of pounds."
This was excellent! Both the story and your reactions! Thanks for keeping great music alive. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
yeah, what he said!
Much appreciation for your growing love of classic rock,and especially British rock in all its forms.
👍🏻
Much as I love DSOTM,My personal Floyd fave is Animals.
Intense,thoroughly engaging,head music.
In fact,as I write,I’m skinning up a couple of J’s and about to sink into my armchair,floorstanding speakers (Mission 710’s) right in front of me and put on Wish You Were Here,followed by Animals.
Peace on you all.
Excellent! 🤘😌
Don't forget, they continued to pay Syd until the day he died.
The album has made the top 200 chart again, and is now up to 981 WEEKS on the chart, and just might be the first (and only) album to hit 1000 weeks on the charts.
To the whole world except the US and Canada, football means soccer. Only in Canada and US do we call it soccer, BECAUSE we have football, and they are not exactly the same, quite. I'm Canadian, that's how I know. Just like the rest of the world calls hockey, ice hockey. We don't specify because we don't even think about any other hockey besides ice hockey!
The Great Gig in the Sky was released as single in 2023 to promote the 50th anniversary edition. It had not been released as a single before that.
A pound back in 73 was worth about 3$ US, so about $90.
Syd Barrett. Do you know that he actually saw sounds as colours? He would say stuff like 'We need more blue there." or "That's too red." And there were times during shows where he would face away from the crowd and just play one note over and over. So yeah, by the end, they really didn't have a choice anymore. And wouldn't it be cool if somebody with the same condition as Syd (seeing sounds as colour) could arrange through computer graphics to SHOW the rest of us what that LOOKS like? I would LOVE to listen this album and SEE it!!
On the Dark Side tour here in Montreal, they were playing in an open stadium, and had rigged a large airplane (about 1/10 size) on a wire that came in over a highway, over the crowd, caught fire, and crashed behind the stage for the end to On the Run.
They also did real fireworks, not pyrotechnics, in a CLOSED stadium, as a diversion! While the crowd gaped, (except me, cause I'm a suspicious bugger and kinda know the group, I was watching them.) they got off stage, hopped into limos I could just see behind the stage, and were driving off before the crowd started chanting for another encore. I told my friends and we got to beat the crowd to the subway, in fact watched a wave of people come down the stairs as the doors closed!!
I have also seen a listing of all known bootleg Pink Floyd albums, and they even had catalogue numbers associated with them. And there were over 100 bootleg albums!! Some were obviously music that had not yet come out on albums and were working under working titles, like Ranting and Raving, You gotta be crazy, etc. I remember one that was a triple album, only 6 18 - 22 minute songs, one per side!
That was funny, I could have sworn I had already subscribed to you guys, but I saw that I wasn't so did again. I'm going to have to keep an eye on that.....
Animals is my personal fav but they also masterpieces
It's awesome and no racism is intended, it seems only since the advent of commentary music videos, have African-Americans love Pink Floyd. Been listening to them since 1990 and never had met an African American that liked them.
Every time I see these documentaries…you hear the band talk and snippets of the songs and the attitude of the session…but when I go back and listen to the actual work; I truly SEE the band. Here I see these four goofy looking guys with British accents talking about their stuff, but when I listen to the album?…that’s when I truly see Pink Floyd. I hear the gods come through, which no interview could ever convey. It’s like there are two Pink Floyd’s. The Pink Floyd you see on TV in interviews like this as men, and then there’s PINK FLOYD, the gods who you can only see through their music.
Simply put...the sum is greater then the parts. And the parts are pretty darn good.
Because when you see them speaking, like most people, it's usually coming from their egos. The music comes from their souls
The "Classic Albums" franchise made a version of this concept that went more in-depth into their recording techniques for this album.
Agreed. That doc is more than excellent and informative and a must-see.
Great call Mate!
Cheers!!
True. I feel like this lifted content from it. Classic albums is better imho.
Yeah this is a rip off still cool but the other one has better stuff
If you can find it on UA-cam, send it. I looked all over the place before finding this documentary
@@airplay_movies ok I’ll look maybe they took it down
David Gilmour was asked if he had any regrets with the album and he said, "Not hearing it for the first time".
I hope you guys do this next. Classic Albums: Rush: 2112 & Moving Pictures.
Edinburgh Science Festival recently showed a film based in space , in the Dynamic Earth planetarium. screened in 360 degrees. this entire album was the soundtrack. It was my second time of seeing it, it's coming back in August and I'm going again. The etheral music combined with scenes of travelling through the rings of Saturn, or through a meteor shower, or floating in a space station, is an amazing experience. The sound system made me hear sounds in the music that I hadn't heard in 51 years of listening to the album.
My very first big concert was Pink Floyd! It was the summer of 1973 and they played the Dark Side record in its entirety and debuted songs from what would become Wish You Were Here.
No other concert has EVER lived up to my first one!
Peace
I saw them in early 78 they played the whole Animals album then the whole Wish You Were Here album then Echoes. Nothing off dsotm I had to wait until 94 to see the Gilmour version of the band play Dark Side.
Pink Floyd and the Expos life is good. and you two are awesome
My fav album of all time..
I have heard a statistic that 1 in 12 people on Earth own this album..If that's true....; that's a level of greatness that is virtually incomprehensible.
Have to say, you’re better off watching the Classic Albums version of this documentary, the same series that Aja was in. This version is quite lightweight!
True!
I got through half of this before I realized this was different then the Classic Albums version that I have! LOL And you're right. the other one is better than this one.
“7 finger chords”😂🤣
Guys, this was great. The 'wealth' comment is spot on. Drummer Nick Mason has one of the greatest Ferrari collections in existence.
Thanks for sharing this amazing documentary about one of the greatest albums.
Alan Parsons music is definitely worth a listen. You can definitely hear his influence in the dark side of the moon album.
Great reaction guys!next time try the Brief History of Pink Floyd and you will get the feel of how truly great this band really was ❤
12:10 Waters ll do that .. ‘no one told u when to run you missed the starting gun’ bars
Watching and listening to you two guys feels like sitting down with good friends. And I mean intelligent, passionate, good people. I often have to fight the urge to join in. You two bring more joy than you realize. Please keep it up.
PS - Clare Torry never revealed the amount she won from P.F. in the out of court settlement, but her net worth is listed as $10m so I'm guessing it was generous.
I have this on DVD. Actually I have a lot of these "making of" DVDs . You should check out the one for Grateful Dead called Anthem to Beauty.
45 Million copies this Album sold .... Torre the Lady did not sing on Money - she sang on The Great Gig in the Sky
Nick Mason actually became the car collector. I recall reading that the band did not know Clare didn't get her fair share. They thought the accountants had taken care of it.
50 million copies sold...and growing
Hey, you should watch "The Chilling Demise Of Syd Barrett" by Factinate. It covers the early history of Pink Floyd, and how the slow decent into insanity of bandmember Syd Barrett inspired Dark Side of the Moon and especially Wish You Were Here. Please check it out!!
U need to watch the movie "Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii" This concert movie at the abandoned city. It was recorded while Pink Floyd while they were starting on Dark Side Of The Moon.
This was a real good video and reaction.
My favorite album ever ❤
thank the Moody Blues for opening the Progressive rock door that gave us music that is superb. Days of Future Passed! Dark side is outstanding
I've always thought Days Of Future Passed was even more ahead of it's time then DSOTM was ahead of it's time. We weren't ready for DOFP in 1968 but by 1973 we were ready for DSOTM.
@@genecase9464 very well said!
Yes, another Classic Albums! I have watched a lot of these and love them. This is another one of the all time great albums, looking forward to this. Thanks La and Che! Your reactions to the revelations in these make my day!
I love that y'all love this album. I love it too! ❤️
Pink Floyd literally figured out this album by performing it live in front of audiences as half of their show for several years. They used to do that all of the time with new material. They'd figure it out in front of an audience to see what sounded good and what didn't. The audience would be completely clueless as to what they were playing, but it was Pink Floyd so they were never surprised. By the time the band was ready to record Dark Side in studio, Pink Floyd already had a very good idea of what they wanted, and as a result of were able to embellish creatively with all the effects, interviews etc. Everyone was on the same page, working together and the creative juices were flowing. Apex creative level achieved.
100% right, except it was a period of just over a year. I believe the first live performance of Dark Side (called "Eclipse - A Piece For Assorted Lunatics" at the time) was January 22, 1972? It could have been within the week prior, though. They ran it through almost every subsequent set list with the ongoing changes until July 5, 1975.
They never performed it for several years before they recorded it. Where do you people get this garbage?
@@shaynewest8757 Are you upset with the 'several years' part, or that I suggested they performed it well before they got into the studio to record it? Would you feel better if I said they started performing it 1 year and 2 months before the album released? You ok now?
They previewed the album in one performance a few months during the recording of it. If your going to post crap don't get on your high horse when you're called out on it.
@@shaynewest8757 They played it throughout 72, in Europe, UK, Japan and the States. They began recording during that period. It evolved on the road. They played it a lot more than once.
A mate played it to me at his flat when I was 15 it was also the first time I smoked a joint, you can imagine the effect 🤗
They missed the bit about sampling the sounds on Money. They stretched the tape around the room and around a broom stick and fed it back in to the machine to get the right timing of the samples.
Fun fact, probably part of the reason their albums are so fucking good. When they signed their new record deal before dark side, they gave up some of their album royalties in exchange for unlimited studio time
fyi there's a really nice documentary about the making of Wish You Were Here album. I think it's about an hour long, pretty professional job but I haven't seen it in quite awhile. I think Wish You Were Hear is as good, or almost, as Dark Side, so the doc's well worth watching. There's a very strange Syd Barrett tie in in the doc too. edit: think it's called "Pink Floyd: The Story of Wish You Were Here"
Richard Wright was the "sound" of PF... IMHO
You should watch the Classic Albums episode. The 8 ft. tape loop for the cash registers from the beginning of Money had to wrap around a mic stand. Amazing.
I don't know who put this making of video together with the AI voice but it wasn't Floyd. all the music clips are super short so it doesn't get blocked on UA-cam. and it had barely any speaking by the actual band. just a narration of things that were said in interviews. but I still enjoyed it.
When the cd format first came out in the 80's there was a pressing plant in Germany that produced nothing but this album.
There is a full movie of the making of DSOM, well worth watching. More in-depth than this and the Classic Albums franchise. I've seen it several times and I think I own a DVD of it 🙂. It's the definitive document of this album, with the band's sanction.
Apparently he not only played different tunes to the rest he also sometimes just stood there not playing anything and sometimes standing with his back to the audience. David Gilmour was first brought into the band to supplement Syd Barrett. For a short while they were a 5 piece band.
This album is so well made that it will never NOT be relevant. The way the songs sequence so well into the next it’s a true album experience. Today in music everything is cut up into singles and quick hitting segments to cater to the short attention span of today’s generation. The patience and persistence to craft an album like this is not done in today’s music. The way it was produced is great spotlight of a time when albums had a running them thru it and how much care they took to create it. While the process of making this kind of an album is from days gone past it’s theme and concepts live on forever.
There is a doc about Wish You Were Here that is even better. More interviews, in the studio, and production focused.
YES! Hopefully we get a reaction to that, as well.
Hi guys, great reaction, but as producers you might prefer watching Classic Albums. They take you into the studio and show you how the album was made using actual footage from the making of all the albums they cover. It gives you a deeper insight into the technical techniques, and how they overcame the obstacles of not having the equipment to achieve the sounds they wanted to create, and the inventive ways they got round the problems they faced.
It includes interviews with the band as they’re working on the album and is really worth checking out from an engineering standpoint.
I dig y'all's commentary
Money was the single guys. Claire Torrey did the vocals on The Great Gig in the Sky, the quasi-instrumental featuring her wordless singing.
One of, if not the greatest, progressive rock albums of all time. There's a reason why it's been on the Billboard charts for years. I've owned a copy on vinyl, cassette, CD, Original Master Recording on virgin vinyl and Super Audio Compact Disc. Bought my first copy in 1973.
I remember everyone talking about this at school. The only album I can ever remember this happening to.
Not "Boston" ? My high school was abuzz with every rock fan praising this album. 1977 .
@@tommythompson9565 I was out of school by then.
@@kkampy4052 figured that
You guys should watch more of the Live in Pompeii film. There is some great behind the scenes footage of them working on Dark Side in the studio. They show some snippets in this documentary from it but you get a better sense of how talented they were working in the studio.
Love the Expos cap!!!
I could listen to Gilmour talk all day
Great album and documentary.
The engineer Alan Parsons puts out some good music Bros... check out the I Robot album.
The Great Gig in the Sky wasn't the single. I think you got confused because they started talking about Money[which was the single] straight afterwards.
Alan Parsons was the engineer for this. He wasn't a producer. The Floyd produced this themselves.
I totally hooked up a VCR and CD player to another VCR and recorded the two together
That was fabulous. I’m old & I like PF but I didn’t know Sid was in the band or that Alan Parsons produced it
In their official channel theres a making of shine on too
Recommend Music Documentary "Muscle Shoals" recording studios. The "Wrecking Crew" is also very good.
She made more than 9 million
The making of I'm Not In Love-10cc, is pretty interesting.
It took me a long long time to get accustomed to Animals, but it is nothing to dismiss. I liked Wish You Were here instantly, but now I like Animals much better. It is just so dark and mysterious, that it takes away from the light vibe of Dark Side of the Moon, but make no mistake Animals is a treasure, and under appropriated by the quick listen, it becomes golden after you just let it sit and revisit. Hauntingly creative and simple.
Just found this reaction .. I’m so damn excited to watch it with La and Che! It doesn’t get better than this..I’m so interested in hearing their reaction to making of Dark Side of the Moon.. A Pink Floyd album is like having a great bottle of exotic booze or a bag of great weed. It must be shared particularly with those special few people who have the capacity to comprehend the magnitude and quality of what you are sharing with them. Who then will go share their new discovery with other like minded people. This is how and why this album continues to sell and spent 25 years in the top 200. All before social media, word of mouth was it.
Thank you so much for sharing that. Really enjoyed spending the time with you guys first time to your channel. That was really enjoyable
great doc my channel, masterpiece , goahead and tnks from brazil
I don't think I've seen you guys so animated before, it made this super fun to watch.
The documentary you watched was taken (clipped) from one episode of a BBC series called "Classic Albums" from back in 1997. I think you'd enjoy the full 50 minute version. I remember that series from back in the day and there's some amazing albums in that series, 23 episodes in total.
Division Bell is another great album , Please do an album reaction of it. It's well underrated !
I wouldn't call Clair Torry's vocals "wailing". I enjoy her original rendition more than any of the live versions.
The soundtrack of my youth..I was in High School when this came out..I went through 2 copies of the album & saw the concert to promote it in Detroit..(did you get the 2 posters along with the stickers that came in the original release?)
30 pound sterling in 1973 was worth roughly $75.
GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!
Y'all need to go through the, A Saucerful of Secrets album. One of their best, in my opinion.
Do some homage and check out Syd Barrett playing live.
great documentary!
You guys should check out The Last Waltz The Band Scorsese movie a bunch of great performances
There was something in the 70’s called the Laser Dome where you went in and the whole dome was like you were in space and they played Dark Side of the Moon! Very trippy

Heres more about this Astounding Album: it remained in the Billboard album chart for a total of 778 weeks (nearly 14 years). This is the longest any album has spent on the Billboard charts. The album came back on the Billboard charts when the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart was introduced in May 1991.
15:40 😅 our s been sitting around for 10-20 but the kids still dig it fellaz just goes to show
Forgot to mention my extensive Pink Floyd library of books and DVDs ... this video only lightly touchs on them and their music.
I have ENJOYED that rabbit hole ❤❤❤
time is fluid. we swim, live our lives. wow. get it maybe, not. our ears and mind sum how pull it as one. melody is heart. we all share in it's embrace. did not expect this from air play. thank you gents.
No enough credit goes to the old, old audio engineers who put Abbey Road together.
It's something that it seems like every major musical group has gotten their movie. I really think if they did a Pink Floyd movie it would be amazing with all the drama they went through with Syd Barrett losing his mind and all kinds of turmoil.
Always enjoy you guy’s reviews.
I think you guys need to visit Alan Parsons project.
Check out the concept album “The Turn of a Friendly Card”
You’ll notice a few hints of Dark Side of the Moon at least on the music, but it’s a good album though! Kind of a 70s to 80s transition with the music. You’ll hear the synths opening the record and some disco fading to more synths.
Hope you guys do this reaction. God bless!
Y’all are Floyd fans, love it! I am 61 and have been a fan as long as I can remeber…welcome to the journey.
14:20 Riparadise Richard wright 🎹🙌
Sid appointed his childhood friend David Gilmore as his replacement
Before he went to the Asylum ...
The screaming on the Album rumor is it is Sid - Record executives brought him into the studio during recording because the band seemed uninspired at 1st ...
The voiceover guy was incorrect. Pink Floyd was the producer. Alan Parsons was sound engineer.
I think Dark Side Of The Moon is their best album, but Wish You Were Here is my favorite. It's the one I put on and just play all the way through the most.
