FYI this is my THIRD attempt at uploading this to TH-cam. I had to make several edits from the original video, which you can see on Patreon: Patreon.com/JTCurtis A huge thank you to everyone who supported the original TH-cam upload and left so many wonderful comments on there. Let's share all our memories and experiences with this amazing work of art again.
First time I see this video after I’ve just heard this album like 3 days ago (for the first time as well) and I can see how this is a masterpiece. This is awesome.
Boy, when I heard The Dark Side of the Moon for the first time, I was so stunned... The only thing I could think when I came to "Eclipse" was: "How the Hell is it possible? How can someone do this?"
In my opinion there is a lot of albums that I would consider being better than TDSOM really... Even in their own discography... Atom Heart Mother is my favourite Pink Floyd album so yeah. Some other examples of better albums would be (in my opinion): Bad Brains (self-titled), Madvillainy, Close to the Edge (and maybe Fragile too), Breakfast in America, The Beatles (aka The White Album), Sheik Yerbouti... (and some stuff from local artist that you probably wouldn't know...). But The Dark Side of the Moon is really good just not perfect (not that close either).
@@lulubellepfboots Supertramp’s Breakfast in America is one of my favourite album’s too and their Paris live album to support it is one of my favourite concerts of all time. And we all love the White Album, even though it’s not perfect. Cheers!
@@Ace-Of-Spades-01 No album is perfect. And no album will ever be. I mean maybe it wasn't clear in my first reply but I actually really like The Dark Side of the Moon. It's just that there are many better albums so yeah...
As a younger person who only listened to Pop and rap music before I heard dark side, this album changed my perspective on music. It opens so many doors to different genres and artists that I now love.
So sorry for your loss with your Father. Amazing video again. I to have to listen this album in full. I turn 60 this year and this line keeps popping in my head. “And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking”
I’ll never forget the first time I listened to DSOTM, must’ve been 13-14 in like 2003-2004, me and my friend smoked some weed, sat in my living room with the curtains down, put the CD on, and I remember that opening heart beat made the entire room feel like it was pulsating and coming to life. 🥰 What a special album. Especially that last track, what a finale!!! You really feel like you’ve been on a whole journey.
I'm 15, I bought the record recently. I sat for hours listening to it and weeping because it's so beautiful. If I ever make it as a rock musician this will be a great cover. I felt like I was on a different plane of ascension while and after listening to it
Enjoy your youth, enjoy having all/most of your close friends still with you - some will disappear without an explanation, some will end up hating you, some will go the way of Syd Barrett, some will pass unexpectedly & leave you shocked & traumatized. Be true to yourself & everyone around you; you'll have nothing to fear when you air your dirty laundry before anyone else has the chance to use it against you. Travel domestically & internationally as much as you can. Employers will give you the benefit of the (young man's) doubt until you're about 27+ so use that to your advantage. Don't be afraid to get married and have kids but if you do it's imperative you place your wife and kids above your old friends, and yes, that's going to hurt some people probably. If you go to college focus on your GPA the first three years and come your senior year you'll already have offers & scholarships to the grad schools you want to go to but you'll be able to relax and enjoy your senior year. Focus on your credit score like crazy until you're able to get a good mortgage for a home and then work as hard as you can to pay off your mortgage as early as possible - I paid my 30 year loan off in full in 13 years. Work all the overtime and even two or three jobs while you're young because eventually you'll hit your 30s & you'll struggle to put in 40 hours a week; forget about being able to work 100+ hours per week again once you hit middle age. Only YOU can ever guarantee your own happiness & there's really true power behind the discipline of stoicism.
Try to listen to "Easy All Stars - The Dub Side Of The Moon"... Maybe the best cover/homage, with a really different style BUT extremely faithful to the original. Done by HUGE fans, obviously. BTW, just to share my XP: found this album in a pile of vinyl from my father when I was about 12 or 13, and I was intrigued by the cover (like every monkey we are), then I listened to it on my parents old turntable from the 70s (it happened to me circa 1988), and since then, I have listened to this album maybe dozens of thousands of time... For YEARS, I listened to it AT LEAST once a day, every day (while I was zoning in my computer programming addiction)... I still listen to it many times a month, it never gets old, it was a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. Hope you'll have a wonderful experience in your life, thanks (at least partly) to this album... Best in Space Time, no discussion about it. And yes: transcendent...
This album was an absolute gateway for me. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it helped to set the course of my life It was one of two albums that were the first I bought with my own money - on advice from my older cousin on my thirteenth birthday in 1977 (the other was Led Zep II). The lyrics got me interested in the meaningful use of words and helped me to question the conventions of society. The music transported me and I became infatuated with Gilmour's guitar playing - my mum caught me playing air guitar to it and I got a cheap LP copy for Christmas that year. I've had a guitar around my neck pretty much constantly ever since. Back in '77, I grew my hair and began to develop the values I still hold. Also, of course, I began my journey into classic rock music from prog to bluesrock to west coast and all points in between. I've played in bar bands for forty years because of this... well Led Zep had a part to play in that as well!!
I was 8 yrs old when this came out and had it bought for me as a birthday present, I had no idea what the theme was about, I just enjoyed the music. I still have that same LP to this day, this album has been my constant companion in life, in my mind this has no equal, its as close to perfection as its possible to get.
I really wish more bands and artists would tour their new material before going into the studio to record. It really gives the opportunity to flesh out ideas and fine-tune everything to be as perfect as it can be.
Peace of mind. What a great description! I have tried to encapsulate my feelings when I listen to it, from 'content' to 'relaxed' to even 'hopeful', but peace of mind is perfect. Thank you for that! I do have to point out I absolutely LOVE Any Colour You Like, as to me (as with Careful With That Axe, Eugene on Live At Pompeii), it showcases the band as one cohesive unit. You can hear the voice of each member's instrument shining through, equally, as a collective (but then, there's Shine On You Crazy Diamond...). To me this song never gets enough love, being considered a 'bridge' from Us And Them to Brain Damage. But then again, nobody hears anything the same way. I just wanted to give it the love it deserves.
I was just shy of 10 yrs old in March 1973 when DSOTM was released - but my older brother had several PF records already - Relics & Meddle come to mind - but with Dark Side - "Money" was played often - as it was the perfect track for the emerging FM rock radio catching on big in the U.S. - and at that time they still played "deep cuts" - or even complete albums - so I heard the entire record before I ever owned a copy - and since then I've purchased that record in one form or another about 20 times - including the old 8-track format ..
I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian home and Dark Side of the Moon was the first secular album I had ever listened to at 20 years old. I worked on a crew for the Forest Service and lived in a bunkhouse, and on many nights we went to sleep listening to Dark Side. I've never heard since a full album that was so mesmerizing from start to finish.
Sucks that you got put through all this, man, but the effort to restore it really is appreciated. Glad it's here and available for everyone to enjoy in a way that you can at least get fairly compensated for.
This album reminds me of the greatness of human creativity; as someone who is often misunderstood, I'm always amazed that such an abstract concept album is understood by so many, bringing back my faith in humans to wrestle with difficult art and philosophy. Which means, there maybe somebody who understands, in my madness what I've been going on about for all these fcuking years. I was age 9 in 73 and had already listened to Obscured, Medde and Atom Heart Mother which were played to death in my Dad's car, so when Dark Side turned up, 'I got it' even at the age of 9, it remains my favourite album of all time, along with the track; time. Great tribute Video
This is my second time through the the playlist and learned a ton. I was expecting or my expectations was to learn from this album prior since good friend of mine says thats his favorite period of P.F. Mine is here to now but the biggest take away How close this brought or kept your relationship with your daddy and you together so strong. Thank YOU JT.
JT. I own a copy of Dark Side Of The Moon on vinyl. It’s so unfair that you went through all the hard, bullshit copyright system just to get this video on TH-cam. I think TH-cam needs to listen to this album… and be mind-blown. I so appreciate your effort and dedication to this project and your channel in general. You’re a great TH-camr who seriously gets so undermined by most of the TH-cam community. I can’t really seem to find anyone else who distinctly resembles the feeling you get after listening to it. You’re awesome. Rock on. I will always be on the Dark Side Of The Moon, even though it’s all dark.. 👍🤟
I just finished watching all of your Pink Floyd albums reviews wondering " where is DSOTM Review?" And then I went by accident on the YT main page and see this with "added one hour ago". I like coincidences like that.
Hi, really enjoyed the video! I wonder if there will be an episode of the history of rock & roll 10s, I personally think there where a lot of interesting and innovative music from 2010-2019, especially the new way of indie rock. Love your videos JT
I gotta say this album is Something more than just Collection of Songs or a Concept Album it’s an Album That must be listened to very often. one of my Favorite albums Ever. If any band in the History of History came with this Album it would be top of their works and I know a lot of great bands(Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles , Black Sabbath, The Doors, Cream , Ac Dc , Nirvana, The rolling Stone, Kiss , Deep Purple , Derek and the Dominos and a lot more) No band has an album like this(Except for Pink Floyd)
Oh my god. I've watched this video more times than I can count. This may just be my favorite video on teh internets 🤪. I just put out y own review of the album, and damn I couldn't stop thinking of this masterpièce while making it
It is also important to mention that when you listen to the album for the first time, you should definitely do so with headphones. An unforgettable experience
I discovered Pink Floyd in early 1972 when I heard "Echoes"for the first time!! I remember telling people when they would ask me who my favorite group was and I would say "Pink Floyd"and the response was always WHO?? I also remember David Gilmour saying it was really strange being in one of the biggest selling music groups in existence at the time in the mid-70s and he could take his family or and wife to the mall or to a restaurant and no one recognized him!! That made it even better to like Pink Floyd because they were a mystery since they kept their faces off of their albums except for the first one and a half albums in a way!! Their music really is timeless mostly because of their lack of inserting politics into their lyrics and no narcissism!!
I don’t even need to say it but imma have to. TRUE. EPIC. BEAUTIFUL. AND GENIUS Rock n’ Roll concept and album. From start to finish, every single song on the album flows into each other making it incredibly a listenable album. If you don’t like this album, something is wrong with your head and you need to listen to this album, it is a true masterpiece. I’m personally a big metalhead and rocker guy and I love heavy music but I even know that this band, the song Echoes and this album and the others are brilliant. Pink Floyd are true genius in their game in 73’ with Roger’s incredible lyrics, punchy bass, and good singing, David’s sick blues riffs and kickass rock n’ roll song, Nick’s amazing drum fills, and Rick’s beautiful piano and organ playing, we cannot forget those vocal harmonies between David and Rick on “Time”, they are gorgeous and makes you feel like you’re at a better place. It’s given me so much peace of mind and has gotten me through the tough times and it’s like having a best friend you love comforting you whenever you have a tough time. My favorite songs from the album are “Us and Them” and “Time”. We cannot forget about one more thing I wanna talk about. Rick Wright and Claire Tory’s “Great Gig In the Sky”, man man oh man, this literally sounds like early Ann Wilson improvising and it also sounds like a guitar solo but with a mouth. This album so gets a goldfish for me too. David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, and Rick Wright, WE ALL LOVE YOU GUYS for making this incredible rock n’ roll record.
I read recently over Pink Floyd videos comments something that made me realize one different spin over Syd's influence on the album: There was this idea from Syd. His idea of keeping the band together would be including two backup singing women who played saxophones in the band. That was laugh at, at the moment... But considering that there is back up singers and there are saxophones players too; it made me think Roger no longer thought Syd was so mad as he might thought of this idea while he was writing it. Maybe him or any of the group, but this is a coincidence. I say it's inspiration, some angrier Syd camp fans will say it's stealing.
@@billyz5088Exactly. Roger has mentioned this. But Roger hasn't said the existence of back-up singers and saxophone players in the Dark Side of the Moon is a nod to Syd Barrett, or has said it's influenced by him to use these resources for the DSoTM. Until now, the only things aware he has confirmed [on the writing] is the themes of mental illness and things that makes you crazy in life. The acknowledgement of Syd's suggestion exists in a previous phase, it hasn't been crept in into the reasons to make it. What I'm suggesting is to leave open the thought that there's maybe more influences from Syd Barrett existing in the album than in the lyric writing, even in the way it was musically produced.
@@cesarmadero05 -- in the last few months of 1967 - when things were falling apart for Syd and for the band - his suggestion of adding sax players was possibly as permanent full members of the band - rather than just as hired sidemen - such as Dick Parry was when he played sax on DSOTM - this came from a video interview with Roger - and he seemed to be saying that was how the band interpreted Syd's idea at the time - but clearly all they wanted at that time was a guitar player who could sing - and hopefully write some songs - and Syd was apparently no longer willing - or able to do that. I have no doubt that Waters learned a lot from Syd - and a lot of Syd is woven into many of the songs by Waters - lyrically & musically. That said - nobody could write songs like Syd - he was highly original - his lyrics very cryptic & fantasy-based - his time signatures very non-standard. Whatever lessons he took from him - Waters still had to learn to write songs & lyrics his way - and clearly he had a lot of help from Gilmour & Wright to expand his great ideas musically & sonically ..
A fun fact about the ending to eclipse after the spoken word you can hear an orchestral version of the Beatles ticket to ride but you have to have good ears to listen to it because it’s very hard to hear it There’s a TH-cam video that explains it
I saw the original dark side tour june 23, 1973. Although im not a die hard floyd fan an had slightly different tastes my whole life, i can say that out of a lifetime of seeing live performances that show was the most amazing concert i have ever seen! The Floyd was tour hardened, thier quad sound was perfect despite the show was at the long gone Olimpia stadium in Detroit MIchigan. (Enormous venue to obtain such great sound in). Im lucky to have lived during this era of great music an saw most everyone but that show was the most memorable ever. Best album ever? That depends on who you are. Best concert an production? Hell yes.
First time i ever heard DSOTM i just didn't know what to do, i just heard, after brain damage ended and eclipse started i started tearing up, and it was the best musical experience i had on my life.
My top 4 Rock Albums: 1. Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd, 2. Boston - Boston, 3. The Cars - The Cars, 4. Led Zeppelin 1 - Led Zeppelin. DSM is complete from start to finish. Even though it is the most popular single on DSM, “Money” is my least favorite song on the album. Yet, “Money” is effectively integrated into the totality of DSM. Nothing can touch DSM. It’s likely to never be challenged as the top album, from the start to the finish. Each song of DSM stands alone and pleasurable to listen to by themselves. Still, unlike DSM, props have to go each to Boston, The Cars and Led Zeppelin because those 3 albums were debut albums. Like DSM, there also are arguably no bad songs on Boston, Cars, or Zeppelin.
I did not listen to pink Floyd until I saw a video of a TH-camr challenging people to guess albums, at one point it was playing brain damage. I was like «oh yeah that’s brain damage» and I played it, left it playing until it made the transition to eclipse, since then it has became my favorite album of all time.
Since I first heard DSOTM. right after its release, I thought of it as the Song of Life, in ten parts/acts. That's why I Have to listen to it in its entirety, if at all possible. -mike All that you touch And all that you see All that you taste All you feel...
I’ve heard Dark Side too much where I can’t really review it myself. I’ll say I do find it slightly overrated based only on I hear it too much and hear people talking about it too much. Esp when it comes to Money. I skip it whenever I go into the album. That is obviously not Floyd’s fault as it is and always will be a banger. I just get nothing from it at this point. I think your father speaking on it is the right review to hear. I think it’s a time and place album and how important it was. So with that I can’t say it’s overrated at all so I regress on that take. Great Gig in the sky is one of those tracks I seek out to see how it’s performed by different talents. It’s one of those tracks where you have to do it.
If you listen to this under a black light on "things" while talking to a cardboard blacklight Link cutout as he talks to you as God's mouthpiece....I wouldn't hold it against you.
@JTCurtis Music Was wondering if you heard about Wizard of Oz being synced to Dark Side of the Moon. Joe Rogan had Rodger Waters on his podcast and asked him if Pink floyd themselves were involved with this and Waters said no.
@JTCurtisMusic I saw the video, and you did mention the myth, and I forgot to mention that. Sorry about that. What I meant to say that I was watching your videos relating to Pink Floyd and you talked about Dark side Of the Moon, which made think of this myth and was wondering if you ever heard about it and it turns out you did.
I heard dark side of the moon on its release. In 1973. It's by far the greatest Pink Floyd has ever made. Everything before and after pale In comparison.. I have listened to it thousands of times and I never ever get tired of listening to it. It's a timeless masterpiece. The new redux release by Roger Waters is a disaster. Horrible. Only made to annoy David Gilmour because of a pathetic decade long fight between them. Sad but true
I’d say this album is one of my top ten albums. In fact my top ten would probably look something like this: 10. Abbey Road - The Beatles 9. Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers 8. Boston (self titled) 7. Black Album - Metallica 6. Dark side of the Moon - Pink Floyd 5. The Wall - Pink Floyd 4. Pyromania - Def Leppard 3. Weezer Blue Album 2. Pump - Aerosmith 1. Theatre of Pain - Mötley Crüe Thank you for the amazing content. This channel needs to be seen by more people.

R.I.P. the original dark side of the moon review video 2022-2023
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday
Gotta say, i interpret the screams in Great gig in the sky as an acoustic way of life flashing before our eyes.
Amazing video. My favorite one. I'll never get sick of these.
Thank you, it's one of my favorite videos I've made.
Nice one JT. If I could only have one album forever it would be Dark side of the moon.
I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian home and Dark Side of the Moon was the first secular album I had ever listened to at 20 years old. I worked on a crew for the Forest Service and lived in a bunkhouse, and on many nights we went to sleep listening to Dark Side. I've never heard since a full album that was so mesmerizing from start to finish.
Mid '70's first job. Buying first car. Buying first HiFi. This is the album that you took in to audition Speakers.
Sucks that you got put through all this, man, but the effort to restore it really is appreciated. Glad it's here and available for everyone to enjoy in a way that you can at least get fairly compensated for.
It really is a magical album, I love it when a new album has it songs debut on live performances, it's like watching the craft of a masterpiece
Thanks so much for re uploading I love your music and channel

I will always be on the Dark Side Of The Moon, even though it’s all dark.. 👍🤟
I really appreciate all that you do. ❤ great work
once again a great review,
GREAT WORK MY MAN!!!
I just finished watching all of your Pink Floyd albums reviews wondering " where is DSOTM Review?" And then I went by accident on the YT main page and see this with "added one hour ago".
I like coincidences like that.
Im glad i saw the last version but ill still come to throw you a comment and upvote on the new upload. heres to no more problems
Hi, really enjoyed the video! I wonder if there will be an episode of the history of rock & roll 10s, I personally think there where a lot of interesting and innovative music from 2010-2019, especially the new way of indie rock. Love your videos JT
I gotta say this album is Something more than just Collection of Songs or a Concept Album it’s an Album That must be listened to very often. one of my Favorite albums Ever. If any band in the History of History came with this Album it would be top of their works and I know a lot of great bands(Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles , Black Sabbath, The Doors, Cream , Ac Dc , Nirvana, The rolling Stone, Kiss , Deep Purple , Derek and the Dominos and a lot more)
No band has an album like this(Except for Pink Floyd)
I wish i could erase my memory so that i xould listen DSOTM witch fresh ears again
Oh my god. I've watched this video more times than I can count. This may just be my favorite video on teh internets 🤪. I just put out y own review of the album, and damn I couldn't stop thinking of this masterpièce while making it
Awsome JT❤
One of the best albums of all time
My favorite album of all time. Wish You Were Here is just behind it by 0.0000000000001 %.
The only two times ive been stunned by the end of an album was Dark side of the moon and Rush's Hemispheres
It is also important to mention that when you listen to the album for the first time, you should definitely do so with headphones. An unforgettable experience
I discovered Pink Floyd in early 1972 when I heard "Echoes"for the first time!! I remember telling people when they would ask me who my favorite group was and I would say "Pink Floyd"and the response was always WHO?? I also remember David Gilmour saying it was really strange being in one of the biggest selling music groups in existence at the time in the mid-70s and he could take his family or and wife to the mall or to a restaurant and no one recognized him!! That made it even better to like Pink Floyd because they were a mystery since they kept their faces off of their albums except for the first one and a half albums in a way!!
Their music really is timeless mostly because of their lack of inserting politics into their lyrics and no narcissism!!
I don’t even need to say it but imma have to. TRUE. EPIC. BEAUTIFUL. AND GENIUS Rock n’ Roll concept and album. From start to finish, every single song on the album flows into each other making it incredibly a listenable album. If you don’t like this album, something is wrong with your head and you need to listen to this album, it is a true masterpiece. I’m personally a big metalhead and rocker guy and I love heavy music but I even know that this band, the song Echoes and this album and the others are brilliant. Pink Floyd are true genius in their game in 73’ with Roger’s incredible lyrics, punchy bass, and good singing, David’s sick blues riffs and kickass rock n’ roll song, Nick’s amazing drum fills, and Rick’s beautiful piano and organ playing, we cannot forget those vocal harmonies between David and Rick on “Time”, they are gorgeous and makes you feel like you’re at a better place. It’s given me so much peace of mind and has gotten me through the tough times and it’s like having a best friend you love comforting you whenever you have a tough time. My favorite songs from the album are “Us and Them” and “Time”. We cannot forget about one more thing I wanna talk about. Rick Wright and Claire Tory’s “Great Gig In the Sky”, man man oh man, this literally sounds like early Ann Wilson improvising and it also sounds like a guitar solo but with a mouth. This album so gets a goldfish for me too. David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, and Rick Wright, WE ALL LOVE YOU GUYS for making this incredible rock n’ roll record.
I read recently over Pink Floyd videos comments something that made me realize one different spin over Syd's influence on the album:
There was this idea from Syd.
His idea of keeping the band together would be including two backup singing women who played saxophones in the band.
That was laugh at, at the moment... But considering that there is back up singers and there are saxophones players too; it made me think Roger no longer thought Syd was so mad as he might thought of this idea while he was writing it.
Maybe him or any of the group, but this is a coincidence.
I say it's inspiration, some angrier Syd camp fans will say it's stealing.
Roger Waters did say that Syd actually proposed that very idea to the band - not long before they basically asked him to quit the group ..
@@billyz5088Exactly. Roger has mentioned this.
But Roger hasn't said the existence of back-up singers and saxophone players in the Dark Side of the Moon is a nod to Syd Barrett, or has said it's influenced by him to use these resources for the DSoTM.
Until now, the only things aware he has confirmed [on the writing] is the themes of mental illness and things that makes you crazy in life.
The acknowledgement of Syd's suggestion exists in a previous phase, it hasn't been crept in into the reasons to make it.
What I'm suggesting is to leave open the thought that there's maybe more influences from Syd Barrett existing in the album than in the lyric writing, even in the way it was musically produced.
@@cesarmadero05 -- in the last few months of 1967 - when things were falling apart for Syd and for the band - his suggestion of adding sax players was possibly as permanent full members of the band - rather than just as hired sidemen - such as Dick Parry was when he played sax on DSOTM - this came from a video interview with Roger - and he seemed to be saying that was how the band interpreted Syd's idea at the time - but clearly all they wanted at that time was a guitar player who could sing - and hopefully write some songs - and Syd was apparently no longer willing - or able to do that. I have no doubt that Waters learned a lot from Syd - and a lot of Syd is woven into many of the songs by Waters - lyrically & musically. That said - nobody could write songs like Syd - he was highly original - his lyrics very cryptic & fantasy-based - his time signatures very non-standard. Whatever lessons he took from him - Waters still had to learn to write songs & lyrics his way - and clearly he had a lot of help from Gilmour & Wright to expand his great ideas musically & sonically ..
I arrived at this album backwards having grown up on the Wall, notreealising they had already perfected the concept album
Thanks for the review of the greatest album ever! We still hangin out this weekend? Lemme know and I’ll head on over 🎉😊
The first time I really listened to DSODM was when I bought in 1982. It is just amazing ❤
I think they should have overlaid the original travel sequence with the synth and strategically faded them in and out.
That's an interesting idea and one I'd love to hear attempted somewhere.
A fun fact about the ending to eclipse after the spoken word you can hear an orchestral version of the Beatles ticket to ride but you have to have good ears to listen to it because it’s very hard to hear it
There’s a TH-cam video that explains it
Every music album made by Pink Floyd Great Rodger Water is incredible.
Thank you, dear Rodger!
You’re the One!
I saw the original dark side tour june 23, 1973. Although im not a die hard floyd fan an had slightly different tastes my whole life, i can say that out of a lifetime of seeing live performances that show was the most amazing concert i have ever seen! The Floyd was tour hardened, thier quad sound was perfect despite the show was at the long gone Olimpia stadium in Detroit MIchigan. (Enormous venue to obtain such great sound in). Im lucky to have lived during this era of great music an saw most everyone but that show was the most memorable ever. Best album ever? That depends on who you are. Best concert an production? Hell yes.
First time i ever heard DSOTM i just didn't know what to do, i just heard, after brain damage ended and eclipse started i started tearing up, and it was the best musical experience i had on my life.
It's definitely an emotional experience...
I like your impersonation of the guy at the end of the last song who says “ there is no dark side of the moon really “
My top 4 Rock Albums: 1. Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd, 2. Boston - Boston, 3. The Cars - The Cars, 4. Led Zeppelin 1 - Led Zeppelin. DSM is complete from start to finish. Even though it is the most popular single on DSM, “Money” is my least favorite song on the album. Yet, “Money” is effectively integrated into the totality of DSM. Nothing can touch DSM. It’s likely to never be challenged as the top album, from the start to the finish. Each song of DSM stands alone and pleasurable to listen to by themselves. Still, unlike DSM, props have to go each to Boston, The Cars and Led Zeppelin because those 3 albums were debut albums. Like DSM, there also are arguably no bad songs on Boston, Cars, or Zeppelin.
Also make sure to turn off the lights
DSotM syncs with Paul Blart 2. Seriously, look it up.
The Dark Side of The Moon goes really well with The Bee Movie!!
Is it me but the title card revealed you have two eye colours? My in-law has that too! That's solid!
It’s just the lighting. My eyes are the same.
I did not listen to pink Floyd until I saw a video of a TH-camr challenging people to guess albums, at one point it was playing brain damage. I was like «oh yeah that’s brain damage» and I played it, left it playing until it made the transition to eclipse, since then it has became my favorite album of all time.
Since I first heard DSOTM. right after its release, I thought of it as the Song of Life, in ten parts/acts. That's why I Have to listen to it in its entirety, if at all possible.

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel...
A beautiful assessment!
I’ve heard Dark Side too much where I can’t really review it myself. I’ll say I do find it slightly overrated based only on I hear it too much and hear people talking about it too much. Esp when it comes to Money. I skip it whenever I go into the album. That is obviously not Floyd’s fault as it is and always will be a banger. I just get nothing from it at this point.
I think your father speaking on it is the right review to hear. I think it’s a time and place album and how important it was. So with that I can’t say it’s overrated at all so I regress on that take.
Great Gig in the sky is one of those tracks I seek out to see how it’s performed by different talents. It’s one of those tracks where you have to do it.
If you listen to this under a black light on "things" while talking to a cardboard blacklight Link cutout as he talks to you as God's mouthpiece....I wouldn't hold it against you.
@JTCurtis Music
Was wondering if you heard about Wizard of Oz being synced to Dark Side of the Moon. Joe Rogan had Rodger Waters on his podcast and asked him if Pink floyd themselves were involved with this and Waters said no.
The very beginning of this video is a nod to that myth...
@JTCurtisMusic
I saw the video, and you did mention the myth, and I forgot to mention that. Sorry about that. What I meant to say that I was watching your videos relating to Pink Floyd and you talked about Dark side Of the Moon, which made think of this myth and was wondering if you ever heard about it and it turns out you did.
TL;DR -> Best album in Space Time. No one can argue to that. No one EVER.
Hey JT.. Why'd you skip over amlor?
It’s up now
TH-cam is broken.
I heard dark side of the moon on its release. In 1973. It's by far the greatest Pink Floyd has ever made. Everything before and after pale In comparison.. I have listened to it thousands of times and I never ever get tired of listening to it. It's a timeless masterpiece. The new redux release by Roger Waters is a disaster. Horrible. Only made to annoy David Gilmour because of a pathetic decade long fight between them. Sad but true
wish there was a pressing without that darn alarm clock ringing at the beginning of "money" L.
There is no alarm clock at the beginning of Money on any pressing I've ever heard.
@@JTCurtisMusic Cleaver comment, but if you know DSOTM you know I was thinking about "Time" not "Money".
Cheers,
a.
@@Coyotehellohaha. It is jarring. I love to listen to dsotm side 1 to fall asleep sometimes. It’s great… but that clock 😬
I’d say this album is one of my top ten albums. In fact my top ten would probably look something like this:
10. Abbey Road - The Beatles
9. Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers
8. Boston (self titled)
7. Black Album - Metallica
6. Dark side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
5. The Wall - Pink Floyd
4. Pyromania - Def Leppard
3. Weezer Blue Album
2. Pump - Aerosmith
1. Theatre of Pain - Mötley Crüe
Thank you for the amazing content. This channel needs to be seen by more people.
You must understand, therefore, why once Watters leaves the band, Pink Floyd is no longer at its best.
The unnecessary instrumentals or weird sounds between songs really annoys me I think it was only added to make the album longer
You just don’t get it, it’s fine tho
overrated album.
The Wall is their best album.
Did a review of that as well
The Wall is an amazing album, for sure, but Dark Side overrated? Surely you jest. It's musical perfection.
