Pink Floyd always has special attention in getting the best surronding sound, and for that reason they had Alan Parsons.

"Dark Side of the Moon" is best listened to in it's entirety, from beginning to end, with great headphones on, in a dimly light room. Those of us who bought the album in 1973 did that many, many times over. Laid on my bed, blacklight and lava lamp going, lighting my "Castle on the Hill" and Floyd posters, from the record, until I was asleep. When I bought the compact disc years later it became truly an awesome experience without interruption.

For sure, m8. In fact, I think because there’s so much about aging and death in post-DSOtM Floyd, and I developed a degenerative neuromuscular disorder in my mid-20s, and thus feel about twice my age (I’m in my 40s), I have come to prefer listening to pre-*Dark Side* Floyd, when listening for pleasure, although *Shine On* will always have a special place in my heart, as ‘Syd’ Barrett and I had a special relationship, and his death hit me very hard, though we knew he was not in good health. Anyroad, enough about me. If you ever happen to listen to *Shine On You Crazy Diamond *, please listen to the entire song-Parts 1-9-and before you do, please take some time to learn a little about the man for whom it were written, Roger Keith ‘Syd’ Barrett: a man who spent his whole life trying to find a place in which he ‘fit’, in which he felt he was needed and loved for himself, and where he felt the same for those around him. He searched all his life for something to fill him, spiritually, and vanquish the hollow inside, but I fear he never did. He is the saddest man I have ever known…Yet so bright with talent that-even in his late 40s/early 50s,-a twinkle in his eye could blind the whole of a room. R.I.P., Rog….1946-2006 R.I.P., Syd…1960-1974

Back when this album came out, they did not have music videos, maybe filmed Live performances, generally, we would listen to at least an entire side of an album, more often, flip the vinyl disc over, and listen to the album in its entirety.

listen to it again every 5 years and think...I'm doing that since the 1980's. Every time thinking how time go so fast. I listened to it for the first time in school, and I'm well into my 50's...seems like high schools was just yesterday--time goes so fast.

My first wife was a bit younger than me (born in 1973, the same year as DSOTM), so I introduced her to Pink Floyd. The first time she heard this she freaked a bit because she had a "thing" about loud bells. But she did fall in love with PF almost as much as I do. With the passing of every year, this song has more meaning as you get older. And what can you say about the guitar solo of David Gilmour? He never failed to amaze. The best way to listen to Dark Side is laid back in a bean bag chair, headphones, and in the dark.

The thing about Pink Floyd is that they dont feel the need to fill every music space. Restrain and silence are part of the song and they use them very well to build a mood or a feeling. They dont feel like they need to put as much notes as they can in the tempo but they will send you off tempo once in a while to keep your attention and the arrangement make it that you dont notice it as much as you should. They were not the best musicians, but they could build that mood/feelings like no one and their lyrics are most of the time spot on and sometimes hits you like a ton of brick. You're still young and I guarantee that if you listen to it again in 20 years, it will hit you very different but still very true to what you feel. Hence why they remains timeless, even 51 years after this song was recorded

@vicprovost2561

No band ever was better in the studio and had a complete understanding of dynamics than they did.

Not all music can easily be called a vibe. Pink Floyd is embedded in vibe.

For the opening session, the rhythmic tic toc tic toc etc. is a bass guitar. Roger mutes the strings with his palm and plucks the strings. This sound represents the constant surge of time, never changing never ceasing. The bass drum that starts at a slow and steady boomp boomp, speeds up as the section passes. Represents a heart beat that speeds up as time progresses. The whole passage is an instrumental representation of the lyrics that follow.

That is the magic called "The Dark Side of the Moon". Turn the lights off, put it on, and listen to whole of it at once. You'll be amazed. Thanks for the great reaction, as always. Cheers.

This is my favorite Pink Floyd song

I encourage you to experience the complete album, start-to-finish... there is a theme and it "flows". I spent many an afternoon in my youth grooving out to this album. One of the best ever done. Great reaction and glad you enjoyed. Thanks for brining it!

The genius of Alan Parsons is all over this masterpiece 😮

Legendary engineering from Alan Parsons. This is the disc (and the LP before that) that I used when test-driving speakers at the stereo store...

The intro is brilliant. Thank drummer Nick Mason for all the samples (not to mention the brilliant drums)! The lead guitar sound is beautiful: so thick and rich. Also, splitting the vocals between Dave on the verses and Rick on the chorus is pure magic. Need I even say anything about the lyrics.

Pink Floyd is the OG music to sit and listen to while you are just chilling while you bake.

You need to listen to dark side of the moon in one sitting as it’s a concept album and was intended that way when created. I remember being 11 in 1979 and lying on my BR carpet with DSOTM playing entirely with my eyes closed and getting taken to a new dimension. The only band I’ve ever known to do this without substance enhancement. Pink Floyd is just its own genius genre. Great reaction:)

DSOTM, An album that charted for so many years that it proves great music can span generations! Pink Floyd was definitely in and beyond their time. I remember their music took over the airwaves and stereos when it came out. Loved your reaction to this timeless group.

the album "Dark Side of the Moon" was on the Billboard charts for 980 weeks.......we would listen to the entire album, beginning to end, lying back in the dark. through headphones

Dark Side Of The Moon is best listened to in its whole from beginning to end. Hard to do a reaction to but it lets you understand the depth of the masterpiece and why it was on the Bildboard 200 for 700 weeks straight! Relax and kick back as you said, use high quality headphones and a dark room for the best experience!

If you read the lyrics beforehand and in a quick manner you take the magic out of them. Just experience them when listening to the song.

One of my favorite lyrics in rock music of all time: "No one told you when to run ... you missed the starting gun ..."

Such a B-E-A-U-TIFUL reaction.

When I see things like "50th anniversary," I feel old. I REMEMBER when this song came out . . . this is one of those epic "must have" albums . . .

One of the greatest songs in rock and roll -- and certainly THE best use of roto-toms ever. It's like this song was the reason the were invented. EDIT: Thank you, Mike.

1973 16 years old I had already been introduced to Floyd in college with the Meddle album still one of my favorites went out and bought Dark side of the moon and it blew me away it is considered by many critics to be the best Album ever produced it is Estimated to be one of only four albums to have sold over 45 million copies worldwide, it's spent more than 970 weeks, or the equivalent of over 18-and-a-half years, in the Billboard top 200 album charts in the US, which is a record.

I never thought 10 years would disappear quick like this song said, and it did. Don't get too caught up in your work or routine, keep some adventure in your life or you'll be staring at those gray hairs you and your friends have.

In 1973 I was sitting in a friends cars listening to Dark Side of The moon smoking grass and drinking beer and floating in La La land. 10x5 years later I still listen.

A sweet voice and legendary guitar playing make this band one for any generation and for many more to come. I recall as a teenager listening to Dark Side Of The Moon and my Dad walked in my room, sat down, and proceeded to play air guitar. Sweet memories are made from this group of timeless artists.

Pink Floyd in their younger days and with Syd Barret were quite psychedelic. They carried that feel, if not full on style, with them into the 70s. This is why they are so "trip" friendly and you really don't need drugs to take that trip.

Having a very bad day. Saw a new Maggie video and it got much better. Saw it was a Pink Floyd reaction and I am now smiling. Thank you. Loved seeing them do this live back in 1994 at Ohio Stadium. Needed this in my life today. Thank you, Maggie. Thank you, Mike.

"Kick back, listen, and enjoy" pretty much sums up how to approach all of Pink Floyd.

One of my all time favorite songs.

For my money, the greatest Pink Floyd song ever, from the greatest album ever! 👍 🤟

Thank you for honoring us with this reaction. Since you study voice...you have to hear the studio version of The Great Gig In The Sky. That is the song that comes after this one on the album. However, no lyrics on this one, it's all about the voice. Thank you again .

Also a Mike here. Always loved your reactions, and Pink Floyd are my fave band (joint top with Queen, followed both since the 1970s) I think it's more effective if you do the lyrics after. The way we all first found them, was either by just hearing the album (vinyl) then looking at the lyrics after, or reading the lyrics (from the album cover) as the song was playing. They have more impact that way, when you don't know what's coming. Especially this song.

Dark Side of the Moon is one you need to listen to with a quadrophonic setup, in the dark, with a few lit candles.

You'd love the album version of GREAT GIG IN THE DKY - it's perfect for your Opera Reaction commentary and knowledge. You fans will love your insight. The song has a female singer.

They went around London and bought every click they could find for the opening.

In concert....the entire stadium was black in the beginning......and when he started playing the toms.....he had neon drum sticks.....and each time he hit the skins....they would change colors. Mind boggling.

Nick Mason's contribution to this cut are very underrated. Everyone talks about Gilmour's guitar, but Nick is right under everything.

This album is meant to be listened to from first to last in one beautiful experience!😊 hard to believe this is 50 years old now, I was 13 or 14 when I first heard it, shit I’m old!, The time meaning really did not sink into me when I first heard this being so young, but now, oh hell yeah it has so much more meaning now.

7:50 Definitely. That actually describes this whole album. Dark Side Of The Moon is one long chill, zone-out, and vibe. I listened to it while watching the sun set while on a beach. 🙂‍↔️🤤

I remember, back before "rock-n-roll was phased out someone went around and asked the biggest names in Rock n roll were asked, what is rock n roll, most of the bands gave answers like you might expect - "its got to fast or hard, or high energy, etc... David Gilmour's answer was "its whatever you want it to be. I thought it was perfect.

I know every generation says it about their time, but there really was no better time to be a teenager than the mid-late 70s ...the music, omg the music... There will probably never be another time with pop/rock music as good as it was in the 70s.

When I was at sea on US destroyer USS Hewitt DD-966 I would put on this album in my rack at night and travel through time and space as the ship rocked over the waves. You can’t believe what your mind can do when set free.

Us students used to listen to this and found the lyrics profound. We speculated on what we would be doing 10 years later. That was nearly 50 years ago. The standing joke was that you could hear Dark side or Tubular Bells being played in every Hall of Residence at all times of the day. Probably true at that.

So nice listening to Pink Floyd.

I really love this format of reading the lyrics first.

You're mostly right, it's the kind of song you just sit back and soak in. But in truth, that's the best way to enjoy the entire album, from beginning to end. It's perfect...

I was 18 going on 19 when this masterpiece came out on the Dark Side of the Moon album. I'll be 70 years old this year, and this song has become more personal. So, I'm trying to make the most out of the time I have left.

All Pink Floyd is awesome ❤❤

The audio engineer who mixed this record was called Alan Parsons; he went on to start his own group-the Alan Parsons Project-that is hugely underrated despite being one of the most far-out, mind-bending progressive rock bands of all time.

Between the small towns of Chico CA and what's left of Paradise CA is a winding canyon road called "Honey Run." The road for a long section is covered by all manner of spray painted art (or graffiti as the elders called it), the Batman logo, hearts and dedications and varying other tags among them. Someone added the full lyrics of Pink Floyd's 'Time' to that collection at one point. I don't know how much of that survived the fire that destroyed my hometown (I know the Honey Run Covered Bridge didn't survive), but it always seemed to be a cool thing.

Maggie, Love your reactions. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey.

My favorite part of Dark Side, so glad you enjoyed it... 😎

Yea, it's supposed to transport you to somewhere else. We used to call it Acid Rock. The songs all run into each other to form a theme, like one long story. The end of the last song has heartbeats that match the heartbeats at the beginning of the first song so it can be played on a loop. You put the album on repeat, kick back, drop a hit of purple microdot and let the music take you to the dark side on the moon..

David Gilmour's solos have always had a distinct quality: rather than filling the time with every note he can, he chooses the notes that fit, and he makes every note count. All of his solos approach the singable, as you already discovered.

Time and Great Gig in the Sky should be done as one!

That whole album! Nothing more needs said. Over 50 years old and still up there by anyone’s ratings!

Welcome to the amazing world of Pink Floyd 🎸🎸

mid '70s, I used to stop by a friend's house on my way to school... would wake him, he would lean over put on this album on a small portable record player on the floor, reach in the drawer, grab a bowl..... and well.... it was a nice walk to school.... can't say much for first period

Do the whole album,you'll not be disappointed. Must do the great gig in the sky studio version. Vocals were made up, right on the spot by Clare Torrey. AMAZING!!!

How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people!?

If you partake in 420 that's the best way to listen to Floyd

This song will hit different in about 40 years.

Hi Maggie. I recommend you to take a look at Pink Floyd's Pulse. It was their last tour. It has two parts. The first one with tunes from several albums, some newers and other olders ones. The second part is Dark Side of the Moon complete, plus two themes from The Wall, Confortably Numb and Run Like Hell.

My second favorite Floyd song after "Comfortably Numb"...So English, captures the psyche perfectly.

ОБОЖАЮ когда современные оперные (...и не только) артисты дают такую столь ВЫСОКУЮ оценку песням и творчеству моей любимой рок-группы с детства!! Да, они ушли и их больше не будет, но их музыка и их песни с нами остались НАВСЕГДА!! Удачи в жизни Вам! Вы - очень красивая!! / I LOVE when modern opera (...and not only) artists give such a HIGH assessment to the songs and work of my favorite rock band from childhood!! Yes, they are gone and will no longer be there, but their music and their songs have remained with us FOREVER!! Good luck in life! You are very beautiful!!

David Gilmore is a master guitar player. Everything he plays is so melodious. and who else has backing vocals for their guitar solos?!! 🥰, PJ

The whole album was a masterpiece.

Time is most definitely not on our side in this track. Time is a portend of doom. Time is running out from moment one in this song, and day one in our lives. I love how they ironically waste our time in the beginning, as well, and how the keyboard and guitars so beautifully emulate musical timepieces in the intro, as well how they warn us of time running out when the music is at its most comforting and soothing. The Breathe reprise was a perfect ending to Roger breaking the 4th wall, to wrap it up. Songs like this will never be repeated.

You should check out Pink Floyd’s “Sorrow”. The live Knebworth version is amazing.

Next song on the album is Great Gig in the Sky which I believe you have reacted to before.

Maggie, Dark Side was a concept album. Although I have never done it, it is set up as a sound track to the 1939 classic film "The Wizard of Oz" with the songs corresponding to scenes on the screen. Seeing it done one day is on my bucket list.

True masters. Quality every time

The next track on the album will blow your freakin' mind.

Yes I agree u will like a great gig in the sky..

This song is best heard immediately followed by the Great Gig in the Sky...they really go together and something is lost listening to them separately.
