      I'm glad you like this album, Pink Floyd is the G.O.A.T, imho. I hope if you have another poll, you will consider adding the "Wish You Were Here" album, which I think is second only to Dark Side of the Moon. ty

      Other concept albums you might find interesting include Rush's "2112", Blue Oyster Cult's "Imaginos", Hawkwind's "Chronicle of the Black Sword", and Kamelot's "Silverthorn".

    My older brother dropped off this album for me to listen to at my parent's house just after it was released in America.
    He had his own home just about a mile away in a different neighborhood than my parents. Less than 2 hours later I was knocking on his door, getting there on foot.
    I handed him his album back when he open the door. He protested, "No, no you can keep it for a few weeks to listen to if you want."
    I told him, "Roscoe, I have already bought one for my own."
    I had a hi-fi syatem, bean bag, and some mood lights that went perfect with this great album.
    I must confess, the 1970s was the greatest decade to be a part of.

    Apologies for the long story I felt compelled to share:
    This album is my favorite piece of art of any kind. 9 years ago my mother became very ill and we were waiting for the end. My sister and I traded days on duty and off to keep our sanity. On one of my “Days off” I went to a music festival. One band was a Pink Floyd cover band that did the entire album from start to finish.
    During “Time” my sister called and said our mom had taken a turn for the worse and she’d call me back if I had to come to the hospital. As “Money”started I got another call saying she had passed. That meant she died while I was listening to “The Great Gig in the Sky” being played live. My mom loved to sing and was in several choirs. That song is about dying, fighting against it, and accepting it. It also is just a female vocalist. That song, and album, took on a whole new meaning for me.
    Anyway, loved the reaction. The Wall would be great next.

    Welcome to the rabbit hole. I have been listening to this album for its 50 years and it never gets old. Its a wonderful journey into life, and death, and a little bit of madness along the way. The more you listen the more you hear and the more you let yourself just feel the more you will understand. If you read a little of the band history and about Sid Barrett the more this album [and the next one too] make sense. The vocals in Great Gig are the amazing Clare Torry, with perhaps one of the single greatest improvisational vocals ever recorded. Thank you Clare

    A little trivia. Dark Side Of The Moon was recorded at Abbey Road Studios (made famous by the Beatles who recorded all their albums there). The recording engineer was Alan Parsons who formed the Alan Parsons Project ( another must listen). The guy speaking in the background was the Door Man at Abbey Road Studios. They asked him to just say a bunch of gibberish. Clare Torry (a session vocalist) did the vocals on The Great Gig In The Sky. She asked what the band wanted and they told her they would do a trial run through the song and for her to just do what came to mind. They kept the trial run. No second take. The Saxophone (not trumpet) is the same guy from The Alan Parsons Project. The Dark Side Of The Moon is still considered one of the best works ever recorded and that was over 50 years ago (says a lot about today's music). If you listen very closely you can hear the heart beat running all the way through the album.

      It should be added that all the sound effects (clocks, chimes, coins, cash registers, etc.) were created off site, recorded separately and added in during the mix. It’s a lot of detail work on a limited amount of analog tape tracks that is easily overlooked today. No ProTool plugins in 1973. Creativity on a completely different level. This album is an absolute masterpiece that will still be played somewhere centuries from now.

    The Great Gig in the Sky is about what happens to the soul at death. The first part (pain) is about "what happened to me?" The second part is bargaining. The the third part is acceptance. So, Mary, you have taken the first step down an amazing path. You have eaten the appetizer, now get ready for the entree. Watch the 1994 Pink Floyd Pulse concert. And have a supply of tissues on hand, yes, the music is that powerful. Watch out for the flying pigs-I'm not kidding, you will see flying pigs in the concert.

We all sat in stunned silence before, with trembling hands, I turned the record over…… more weed was smoked, more stunned silence. We played the album over and over.

    You covered this perfectly: the full album, not focusing on lyrics, exploring the feelings evoked. So much music in this period was created to be experienced this way, like an opera. I can't count how often in my youth I would lie on the floor in a darkened room with headphones and a great album playing. I would fly; I would cry; and I would appreciate the art.

      1974, our school in Auckland NZ had a drama room with no windows and no seats just big cushions on the floor, and a great stereo. A group of us used to commandeer the drama room at lunchtimes to listen to our favourite albums in the dark, with incense burning 😅 😊😊. This was just one of them ❤

      I was in a music class in 1975 when Bohemian Rhapsody hit NZ. Our music teacher was a stuffy crabby old lady (or so I thought) I was blown away when she put the Queen LP on, told us to hush and listen...
      she became our fav teacher as she played it over and went into old lady trance mode, swaying to that song.
      She printed out the words for us to learn and all of us can remember every word today.

    This is not only one of the most iconic rock albums ever made, but Pink Floyd were a modern musical powerhouse. Their music is not only unique, but it is timeless and will one day be recognised by all generations as a phenomenon of it's time. It is great to see a new generation reacting to Dark Side of The Moon in the same way us "oldies" all did when it was released. Thank you Mary! With this video you are sharing this incredibly talented group of musicians to a generation who have never had the immense pleasure of appreciating the phenomenon that is Pink Floyd! Well done girl for accepting the challenge - it was amazing watching your face light up and react to the music! Keep exploring the iconic bands of the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's - you will be blown away by what's hiding in plain sight!!

    Pink Floyd, making our bodies move without even realizing what we are doing, painting movies directly inside our brains and giving us chills for generations.
    I'm glad you found this album. My generation would spend hours with the door closed, listening this music in the dark, letting the movies in our heads take over.
    My mother never understood why I liked isolate in the dark listening to Pink Floyd (mostly The Wall, but also this album). She thought I was upset or something because I didn't want to talk with anyone, just wanted to hear this music in the dark without being interrupted.

    As a teenager of the 70s, and now an old man, and love you finding this music. I will not yell "get off my lawn!" but "welcome". enjoy. ...The Moody Blues will be a trip for you.

      Agreed! Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin get so much attention but in my opinion, The Moody Blues made albums just as good if not better.

    Many people say The Great Gig in the Sky is about the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

      I always thought it was about death (the "gig in the sky").
      It starts with struggle/refusal and ending with resignation/acceptance (...and death).

      It's about the death process, like you're the one dying and passing into the afterlife.

    Back in the day, we called this one of THE "Headphones" albums. You would jack in your headphones (3/4" jack), crank up the sound, close your eyes and just be one with the music for an hour or so.

    I have been listening this music for 55 years, since I was 17 😢, it is always an emotion, even more exciting to see your beautiful face get emotional. I confess I shed a tear. The 70s and 80s are full of musical art of this level. Mary Given your sensitivity go to those years and you will find infinite emotions in the so-called POP music 🤗
