In 1973, the sounds Pink Floyd produced were sounds of the future. No-one experienced those kinds of noises. Now, they're sounds of a certain past, but they still sound futuristic. Sequencers, tape-loops, all done manually because computers were a thing of the future. That's what makes Pink Floyd stand-out and special. The vision they had, the guts to experiment. Waters, Gilmour, Wright and Mason and in the early days Syd Barrett were far ahead of their time. The Einsteins of music, so to speak. And fifty years after the facts, you sit there and enjoy. Lovely to watch. Warm embraces from Belgium, ma jolie.

I first heard this album in high school. My music teacher came into class one day and said "this is a new album - I'm convinced it will become one of the most important albums ever made. For today's lesson we're just going to listen to it right through." I'm pretty sure the whole class was blown away by it.

Cool teacher... I also got into floyd in highs cool and I was obsessed with Pink Floyd and The Darkside Of the Moon... and my english teacher noticed I was listening to it and I thought I would get in trouble but he asked me "Have you heard wish you were here" and I said no, I have not... the next day he brought the cd for me to listen to it.., I could not believe a band could be that amazing! My obsession grew and I still think there are music bands and then there is Pink Floyd... just in another level

This is definitely a headphone or surround sound album. It's a shame that over the past decade or so, the magic of the stereo soundscape has been lost to music coming out of phones and single bluetooth speakers. When I was a teen, speaker placement was just as important as a decent amp and turntable..

I’m 72 years old and was fortunate enough to see Floyd live when they did the original Dark Side tour when the album first came out. By far the best album ever made by the best group ever.

one of the very few albums in existence in which you need to listen to it from beginning to end. skipping around to random songs just doesn't work. what an absolute masterpiece

If you would have told me in 1973 (my sophomore high school year) that the kids would still groove on this song in 2022, I wouldn't have believed it. Nice reaction Verdy! I had a lot of fun watching you smile at the same places in the music that made me smile.

“The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death” As another older person who has listened to this song many times in many places and circumstances, it is such a pleasure to watch the joy of someone else experiencing it for the first time. Makes an old man cry. Thanks for sharing. I’m posting this 3 months later in Time but this music will live on forever.

I think I can trump the previous comments in the age stakes as I am now 72 and bought this record when was first released back in 1973 ( I think). I have loved it ever since. It is so heartening to watch a young person finding out just how good music can be. Please also, have a look at the lyrics for the songs, they make the hole experience even more profound.

I was 17 in 1973 when this came out. Listened to it that entire summer and still I listen to this day. A real masterpiece.

Parents should play this album starting when the child is in the womb. No one should be denied this music.

There was a van in Seattle that was painted in the Pink Floid Dark side of the Moon ! I'll never forget that!

I hope you enjoy the journey. Incidentally, I was there at the concert you watched when they played Comfortably Numb!

Given that Floyd's songs often connect seamlessly to eachother I'd recommend finding a very high quality youtube video of the whole actual vinyl album, that doesn't have any cuts between songs. It's not a huge deal, but those little skips between songs are daggers in the hearts of fans like me who have heard these albums in their original formats for so many years.

This is an album that I've owned for close to 50 years now. I bought it back when it came out in 1973 while in high school, since then I've had a copy on whatever media was current throughout the years, vinyl, 8-track, cassette, CD, super audio cassette, super audio CD and half speed mastered virgin vinyl.

Born in Sherbrooke, Quebec in 1973..... Growing up I gravitated towards this album. Even asking my father to play the album in the car on the way to hockey practice in middle school. This album is great to listen to in one sitting. Love your commentary and reactions. Listening from South Korea. Vous etre tres jolie.

All these great bands have gone, lost to musical history never to return, ever. I am so glad I grew up having the privilege of watching some of these great bands live (Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis and Yes, to name just a few.)

Great reaction. I liked seeing the excited anticipation on your face before you hit play, and then you couldn't help but smile the whole way through in appreciation of everything you heard and experienced. It really is a sonic masterpiece. Looking forward to side 2.

Can you hear a Heartbeat where the people meet and greet on the street? Do you feel sadness, gladness or madness? Pink Floyd Fills the Void! 👏🏻🎸😎

I built and ran my high school's first radio station, which broadcast into the school cafeteria. Our first play item was side 1 of Dark Side of the Moon. It took a minute for students to recognize where the heartbeat was coming from when we first went live. All of the Floyd albums carry memories of one kind or another.

The face of a true musical connoisseur... Love your reactions.

Genius album! Never gets old.

I loved your reactions to all of the compositions, but I most loved your reaction to 'Great Gig in the Sky.' I think because I knew what was coming, and you hadn't heard it before. You have a beautiful smile in reaction to this beautiful piece of musical artwork!

This album has so many levels. It's so intricate and complex but intimate at the same time. A difficult and unusual combination to pull off. Amazing and so ahead of its time. Probably among the earliest examples of electronic music without actually being totally electronic. This album examines mortality,life,living,the rhythm of life. It also looks at the brevity of time here and the futility of it all. There's a mystical and metaphysical aspect to the album too. The rhythms,sound effects, and beats even mimic and mirror nature and life (heart beat, oceans waves,breathing,etc). Incredible.

I was randomly listening to Pink floyd online. When your reaction video popped up in my Recomendation feed. Your facial expression,hearing Dark side of the moon. Was probably the same as mine hearing this album the first time in the early 90's entering High school. As a 40 year old this album is still as great as it was back then.. Keep up the good work.

Its cool seeing the younger generation discovering the music that I have loved my whole life. I have so many memories attached to these songs. Its interesting and fun to see you sharing you sharing your enjoyment over discovery of this amazing music. Cheers!.

In the Great Gig , the vocalist does a Marcel Marceau : she tells the story of a life passing - without singing ONE WORD. Brilliant.

Greatest album ever, in my opinion. Strange to see someone hearing it for the first time. I have heard this album thousands of times. I first listened to it on 8-track and knew exactly when it was going to the next track. When my 8-track version wore out, I upgraded my car radio to cassette and bought it on cassette. It was the second CD I bought when that format came out.

That wavy, smooth sound is made with the same instrument you saw David Gilmour play on your High Hopes video - it’s actually a guitar - a lap-steel guitar. It’s really just a guitar laid flat, and you play it by plucking the strings and use the slide to play the guitar notes - depending on how hard you pluck, how soft or heavy you push down with the slide, you can adjust the sound quality and get that swelling or sinking sound. It’s quite common in bluegrass and older country music, and was more common in rock in the 60’s & 70’s - surely in large part to the remarkable music David Gilmour and Pink Floyd created with its use.

When these albums were released they were made with the intention of being on a record, which has two sides. So Floyd knew that they had to create a natural break in the music to accomodate this format. This would go for any album released until the mid-80s at least. I love that you are doing the full album reaction, especially with Floyd it is almost mandatory to hear the songs in context. If you do any other full albums I suggest looking up how the albums were divided by "Side A", Side B", etc, and separating the albums up accordingly. It isn't so much by the number of songs as it is the length of the songs in total. But with this album you got it right, you just experienced the full Side A of Dark Side of the Moon. I look forward to Side B. I love how much you are enjoying Pink Floyd. They have a lot to offer you, the album Wish You Were Here is another beautiful work by them.

Thank you for listening to entire "recordings" as they were made. The order of play is crucial for most records of this period and you develop an entirely different appreciation of a group, prodicer and engineer and even the cover artist and liner notes. Please tell me if you agree about getting more out of songs or movements together? The flow and story in records. You have now covered two of my favorite albums; Zep 1 and Dark Side. You are doing great and showing excellent taste, judging from your reactions. Thx! Oh, try these...Tommy, The Who, Aqualung by Jethro Tull, Let it Bleed, The Rolling Stones.

The last song on side one, 'The Great Gig In The Sky' is about death and dying, as the song title suggests. No lyrics but an incredible atmosphere and combined with those unbelievably fantastic vocals, it creates the mood so perfectly that lyrics are not necessary. It's in 3 parts. 3 different reactions to death. At first, we have anger and denial, followed by grief and finally, sad acceptance. At least that's how I've always interpreted the song and most people seem to have similar interpretations. It just goes to show how brilliantly Pink Floyd can convey meaning, without lyrics. :)

I had Pink Floyd posters all over my bedroom wall. I played their albums on my small Mary Quant record player. I have been in love with David Gilmore since I was 14!& still am. Pure Genius ❤

Pink Floyd are such an amazing band. I was very lucky that my parents are both huge music nerds so they gave me an appreciation for this stuff, and also I had access to a huge music collection. If you liked Dark Side of the Moon (which you clearly did), my suggestion for more Pink Floyd would be the album _Animals_ which is my personal favourite.

I also recommend to watch the PULSE live version. The whole concert is amazing. The Great Gig In The Sky especially is an emotional song for me. This studio version is great but I always cry watching Sam Brown screaming her heart out at the PULSE concert. Nice reaction.

Verdy, you're definitely on the right track... This is the way Floyd was meant to be heard, from start to finish... This 66yr old is proud of you!!!

I started discovering Pink Floyd some months ago, since my dad was (and still is) into Progressive Rock, and they have a lot of variety in their catalog. The seventies albums like the one you are doing and the two récords from 1987 (A Momentary Lapse of R.) and 1994 (The Division Bell) are like hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

At that time , the band had two leaders David Gilmour whom you admired in "Comfortable Numb" and Roger Waters. Both great voices. Waters left the PF and started very successful solo career.

I am a retired drummer and let me tell you, seeing The Floyd wasn't just seeing a concert. It was a HAPPENING! It was a feast for the senses. An experience to be treasured forever. Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall should be your next listens, in that order. And there is a whole wealth of other music from that magic era, the greatest era of music EVER!!! - IMO, of course. Hope you will continue your journey of discovery so I can take it with you. Peace and love. ✌&❤ 🤘😎🤘 PS: I discovered Nightwish a couple of years ago. They are fantastic!!!

Retired drummer here, too. Check out Ningen Isu.. A Japanese 3 piece that will blow your mind. Try 'Heartless Scat'...I promise you have never heard anything quite like it.

You’re a fun and sweet gal! Open minded, too! I like your reactions and you seem to like everything that I like, too! I’m glad you are enjoying this music! It’s the best Rock has to offer to this day! Enjoy! 🎸👏🏻😎

I thought little of Great Gig when I was young. Now that I know she's mourning the death of a loved one it moves me to tears.

Beautiful music, Beautiful lady.

The sound of "the wave in the air" in the last song is the same instrument David Gilmour played at the end of High Hopes, that you liked so much. In that video you said it sounded like a guitar. It is a guitar, a "lap steel guitar", built to be solely played with a "slide", a piece of cylindrical steel (or sometimes glass), that is slid lightly against the strings to sound the notes. Slide guitar is usually done on a normal guitar, but the lapsteel takes it to a whole nother level of beauty. I'd really recommend giving another listen to A Great Gig In the Sky, from the Pulse show. The album version is the definitive version, but the live versions are a highlight of the show still. If you like it that much there is a version from The Delicate Sound of Thunder show that is also magical. Each version features different singers, but they all kill it.

Thank you for the info on the lap steel guitar !!

This is the first record I bought at the age of 13 and I still listen to it today. Thank you so much!

Space Music! That’s it! You get it! Cosmic sounds! PF pioneered this kind of Rock! And Hi Fidelity sound!

The lyrics to 'Time' are very deep considering Roger Waters was only in his mid-20's when he wrote it. 'Great Gig In The Sky' was recorded in 2 takes. The vocalist was Clare Torry and she was brought in and told to just sing along to the music but then was told to make it 'non-lexical' (no words, just sounds) and produced the masterpiece of deeply moving vocals you just heard. There are a couple of great documentaries on YT about the making of this truly great and classic album, which has remained in the Billboard 200 since the day it was released. I'm 60 and was lucky enough to see Floyd perform this whole magnificent album live in 1975, when I got taken to my first festival at Knebworth, UK. I saw them again in 1989 and, even though Roger Waters (bass and lyricist/songwriter) had left, they were still superb. The album that was released just before this came out in 73, was 71's 'Meddle', which has 5 or 6 songs on it's first half (side A of the vinyl!) and one long and beautiful track at 26 minutes, 'Echoes', to end with (the whole of side B on vinyl). There's a live perfrmance of it at Pompeii, in an ampitheatre, with no audience, which is a beautiful gem of a performance (lots and lots of superb guitar!) - kzread.info/dash/bejne/gnursrWJecvVmM4.html. Loved your reaction to High Hopes - also in Pompeii but with an audience this time! Oh, and the guitar David was playing is known as a Lap Steel or Hawaiian Steel.

Can't even imagine what it would be like hearing this for the first time when I've been listening to it for over 30 years since my Dad first showed it to me.

quite possibly the best album recorded in our lifetimes.& its 50 years old.thats freaking insane in itself.what state of mind must one be in to write such perfection 50 years ago?

Pink Floyd was a prolific, creative, and inventive band and all of their albums do follow suit, meaning you can't just listen to one song as they are all connected. The songs just go on and on and round and round, this is what makes Pink Floyd a very unique band. The next album to cover has to be Animals one of my favorites along with Wish you were here. Although it is very difficult to be selective with Pink Floyd albums as they are all so amazing. The woman on The Great Gig in the sky reminds me so much of my favorite South Korean singer ALi Cho, later I will show you a song she does in the same style of belting as she does an awesome rock version of a song

Perhaps the greatest single album ever produced. Complete and brilliant in every manner.

Enjoyed your reaction to the music especially Time and Great Gig. It's good that you decided to take in Dark Side of the Moon as a whole piece and not as separate songs. My interpretation of this work is constantly evolving. If you think of this as an exposition on life then it makes some sense. The first song is about the beginning of one's life--just after you're born, the doctor smacks you to get you to breathe. "On the Run" and "Time" sums up the period between birth and death. "Time" has some incredible lyrics which you should go back to read. I always thought "Great Gig in the Sky" was the emotions one must have in facing the finale of a life--at first anger and denial which transitions into sadness and then acceptance. "Great Gig" is like the stages of grief as one nears death captured in music. The flip side of the album concentrates on some universal themes of life-money and achievement; unity and division; etc. So glad you found and appreciate Floyd.

Welcome to The Floyd! As another contributor wrote thanks for appreciating music this 60 year old has been listening to all his life.

music so irresistibly sublime and transcendental that this album spent well over a decade on the Billboard album charts after it came out

So now that you've heard this, you need to listen to the album 'L'Heptade' by Harmonium. It's a totally amazing 70s psychedelic record from a Montreal band. It's basically the Quebecois Dark Side of the Moon, every prog rock fan in the province had a well worn copy.

@@InfinityX00 couldnt agreed more as I am a french quebecois....they played that album in L A. IN a small venue if I remember well.

You should watch Pulse 1994 as PF perform Dark Side live in its entirety. If you like the 'flow', check out their other albums, Wish You Were Here (75), Animals (77), The Wall (79) and also Echoes from Meddle (71) which was the album before Dark Side. Echoes is a monster track and took up the whole side of a vinyl album, unheard of back in the day!. Now you can appreciate Dark Side being one of the most famous and influential albums ever made. A true classic, turns 50 next year in 2023. The band asked people around the studio at the time various questions about life, death etc and put some of them in the mix. Apparently, Paul McCartney got recorded as he was there but was dropped from the final cut.

One of THE best Albums ever. It's music everyone should listen too at least once. So glad to see the younger generations still enjoying this music.

Time is one of the greatest songs ever written. It gets more and more important as you age.
