The Dark Side album was such a huge influence, a phenomenon during it's time. We used to get high and go to the planetarium to watch Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon laser light show on weekends. During the day and weekdays they'd use the planetarium to show astronomy teaching. It was usually a dome shaped room and the laser light would be projected the whole ceiling and seats were like Lazy-Boy type seat that you could lean back, listen to a solid surround sound system (where you could feel the music in your body). The laser light show was trippy, which is why nearly every adult went to watch to trip out. There were usually a couple shows a night, and they'd play the whole album. What a trip. The album music was everywhere, people wearing the album cover t-shirts, posters, and a must for nearly every teenager or young adult house party. We went night clubing, listening to live bands playing their songs, then back to home to continue to party, we'd socialize all the time with our friends, we talked to each other, laughed, feeling young, new, with our whole lives ahead of us (for most of us). At the time, most "adults" / older people were so used to go to bars and drink beer, listening to canned background music. We younger people wanted a club to dance, socialize, we rarely went to actual bars, perhaps to start with, but always end up in the club during weekends (long lines to get into clubs). Clubs vying for the better bands to pull in customers. There were lots of clubs everywhere in nearly every town, so up and coming bands had their choice of where to play, good bands were in demand. We were young and had money; we worked hard and played hard, "Working For The Weekend."
When it became apparent that they were going to only be a studio band so many of us fans were disappointed that we would never get to see them live. Little did we know
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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'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.
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."
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.
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.....
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!
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.
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.
I was thinking the same thing. Life will start soon, oh crap! I bought this album in 1973 and the first 2-3 times I heard it.. I was I think I like this, yes it’s good, no it’s really good… 51 years ago
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 ...
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
Soooooooooooooooooo glad y’all reacted to this 😁 I watched a number of “The making of DSOM”. I have seen Pink Floyd a number of times, the first time was 1973 at Tampa Stadium, I was 14 and went with my 17 year old sister. The second time was 1977 also in Tampa and then again in 1987 in Tampa. Love the backstory, again, so glad y’all reacted to it!
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.
@@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.
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.
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
Roger once said that Syd used to put something like wax beads in his hair, and over the course of the show, the stage lights would melt the wax and it would run down his face. He would have looked horrifying to a lot of people. The odds were that he was also on an LSD trip during these episodes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Alan Parsons (Engineer) wrote and performed the Chicago Bulls intro music. APP had some great stuff as well. Great job on this one! This format really suits you guys. Thanks!
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.
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 ❤❤❤
I love my Close To The Edge, Going For The One, Trick Of The Tail, Year Of The Cat, Led Zepplin IV, Boston, etc. etc. But if any says DSOTM is the greatest rock/popular/progressive album ever recorded I wouldn't argue. Perfect in every way.

The Dark Side album was such a huge influence, a phenomenon during it's time. We used to get high and go to the planetarium to watch Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon laser light show on weekends. During the day and weekdays they'd use the planetarium to show astronomy teaching. It was usually a dome shaped room and the laser light would be projected the whole ceiling and seats were like Lazy-Boy type seat that you could lean back, listen to a solid surround sound system (where you could feel the music in your body). The laser light show was trippy, which is why nearly every adult went to watch to trip out. There were usually a couple shows a night, and they'd play the whole album. What a trip. The album music was everywhere, people wearing the album cover t-shirts, posters, and a must for nearly every teenager or young adult house party. We went night clubing, listening to live bands playing their songs, then back to home to continue to party, we'd socialize all the time with our friends, we talked to each other, laughed, feeling young, new, with our whole lives ahead of us (for most of us). At the time, most "adults" / older people were so used to go to bars and drink beer, listening to canned background music. We younger people wanted a club to dance, socialize, we rarely went to actual bars, perhaps to start with, but always end up in the club during weekends (long lines to get into clubs).

All while he was in his early 20’s.
I love watching the behind the scenes stuff
Animals is my personal fav but they also masterpieces
Dark Side of the Moon synched with The Wizard of Oz is AMAZING!
The album cover appears in the form of a five-bar gate seen through a hanging musical triangle at the start 🙃
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! 🤘😌
Much appreciation for your growing love of classic rock,and especially British rock in all its forms.

Because when you see them speaking, like most people, it's usually coming from their egos. The music comes from their souls
No enough credit goes to the old, old audio engineers who put Abbey Road together.

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.
At the time 1 £ was worth $ 5 US ....so she was paid $ 150 for the session...
I appreciate the amazing culture my people created.
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 ...
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
45 Million copies this Album sold .... Torre the Lady did not sing on Money - she sang on The Great Gig in the Sky
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.
Soooooooooooooooooo glad y’all reacted to this 😁 I watched a number of “The making of DSOM”. I have seen Pink Floyd a number of times, the first time was 1973 at Tampa Stadium, I was 14 and went with my 17 year old sister. The second time was 1977 also in Tampa and then again in 1987 in Tampa. Love the backstory, again, so glad y’all reacted to it!
The engineer Alan Parsons puts out some good music Bros... check out the I Robot album.
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.
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.
Miss Montréal Expos ❤
Greatest album of all time ✌️
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
Roger once said that Syd used to put something like wax beads in his hair, and over the course of the show, the stage lights would melt the wax and it would run down his face. He would have looked horrifying to a lot of people. The odds were that he was also on an LSD trip during these episodes.
I dig y'all's commentary
Once again, much like Steely Dan...these are not dumb guys.
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.
David Gilmour was asked if he had any regrets with the album and he said, "Not hearing it for the first time".
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.
£30 in 1973 was about $70.00 in 1973.
She also left the studio with what was left of a case of Heineken.
My favorite group ... thanks, guys. Y'all are GREAT !!!
Keep them coming ...
great doc my channel, masterpiece , goahead and tnks from brazil
I wouldn't call Clair Torry's vocals "wailing". I enjoy her original rendition more than any of the live versions.
great documentary!
Clare Torry is net worth 10 million if that tells you anything..
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.
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.
except david Gilmour and me agree that wish you were here is their best album. id say they have 5 albums about as good as each other under these 2 top
The making of I'm Not In Love-10cc, is pretty interesting.
Alan Parsons (Engineer) wrote and performed the Chicago Bulls intro music. APP had some great stuff as well. Great job on this one! This format really suits you guys. Thanks!
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.
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 ❤❤❤
Thanks Bros.... that was fun to watch with you guys..😎
I love my Close To The Edge, Going For The One, Trick Of The Tail, Year Of The Cat, Led Zepplin IV, Boston, etc. etc. But if any says DSOTM is the greatest rock/popular/progressive album ever recorded I wouldn't argue. Perfect in every way.
Richard Wright was the "sound" of PF... IMHO
15:40 😅 our s been sitting around for 10-20 but the kids still dig it fellaz just goes to show
I totally hooked up a VCR and CD player to another VCR and recorded the two together
