      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".

    The way to listen to this album is undoubtedly to do what I did when I bought it, I took the album to my local cafe where I knew a lot of my friends were. We all went round to my flat put it carefully on the turntable, closed the curtains, smoked some weed and gently lowered the needle to the record, minds were blown. 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. Minds blown, and they remained that way for the next 50 years, nothing has changed!

    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

  • @retiringfun

    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.

      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.
      ohh I'm 62.

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!

      My first knowledge of this Album was reading the music charts in my newspaper (The Adelaide News if you’re from SA), and I was a keen radio listener at the time but I was puzzled by the number one album it was Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon. It was number one for weeks. I’d never heard of the band or any of their songs. If they released a single from the album in Australia none of the radio stations in Adelaide picked them up.
      One day my older sister came home with the album, and well, the rest is history.
      I introduced my daughter to the album fairly recently and she loves it. So I was interested in your reaction.
      Thanks again. 👍🇦🇺

      @@mikemartin8088 Its easy to miss if you had a run-of-the-mill sound system. I bought the album in the late 70's and didn't (couldn't) pick up on a lot of the background sounds or words. Got a decent stereo and speakers in the mid 80's and got a little angry with myself that I hadn't bought a decent one (and speakers) much sooner. LOTS of albums sounded so much better....and then I had to replace most of my albums with CD's. And now it's all saved to a Plex server. I still try to buy the CD so I have proof I didn't steal the album but some albums are getting hard to find....but some of the albums I'm trying to find are from the 1930's thru the 50's. My FIL fell on hard times in the early 2000's and ended up living with us and he had an extensive amount of music of Jazz greats dating back to Cab Calloway and Fats Waller and Louis Armstrong up through the Big Bands of the late 30's and into the late 1940's.

    Thank you for listening this in one sitting. These albums were written to be heard as a complete piece.
    The singer was Clare Torres who was a session singer. Came in for one afternoon for £30. Was told she was putting down a test track for a later singer. Was given no real steer other than use no words. She was surprised to find out she was on the album. She later fought for a writing credit, which she won, so got more than £30.

      Richard gave her a bit of guidance. It is about death, hence the Great Gig in the Sky. She did a lyric-less vocal interpreting the 5 stages of grief. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. Listen to it with this in mind and it all comes together. Even after 45 years of listening to it it still gives me chills.

      I think she also got a writing credit and royalties after the court case, because her singing was all improvised, but became an integral part of the song.

    This is my favourite album of all time, I bought it new when it was released in '74 (yes I'm that old LOL), and it is a truly beautiful thing to see yourself (and others) discovering and enjoying the amazing qualities of this music. Your reaction was perfect, because it was 100% true to your experience. Thankyou for sharing. Love it :)

    Alan Parsons is one of best engineers in the studio. The album was recorded in the studio where he worked. He believed this was going to be a major creative work and so arranged the studio schedule do that he was the only engineer that worked on it. This album was the first of many Grammy nominations he received for his engineering work
