- This film brings you first-hand recollections of the band members selected from film and radio archives worldwide alongside classic performance footage. Also features interviews with Clare Torry, the vocalist behind the magnificent vocals on the majestic track The Great Gig In The Sky, and George Hardie, Pink Floyd contemporary and the designer responsible for the classic refracting prism artwork.
The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 by Harvest Records. The album was primarily developed during live performances, and the band premiered an early version of the suite several months before recording began. The record was conceived as a concept album that would focus on the pressures faced by the band during their arduous lifestyle and partly deal with the apparent mental health problems of former band member Syd Barrett, who departed the group in 1968. New material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London.
The record builds on ideas explored in Pink Floyd's earlier recordings and performances while omitting the extended instrumentals that characterized the band's earlier work. The group employed multitrack recording, tape loops, and analog synthesizers, including experimentation with the EMS VCS 3 and a Synthi A. Engineer Alan Parsons was responsible for many of the sonic aspects and the recruitment of singer Clare Torry, who appears on "The Great Gig in the Sky".
The Dark Side of the Moon explores themes such as conflict, greed, time, death and mental illness. Snippets from interviews with the band's road crew are featured alongside philosophical quotations. The sleeve, which depicts a prism spectrum, was designed by Storm Thorgerson in response to keyboardist Richard Wright's request for a "simple and bold" design representing the band's lighting and the album's themes. The album was promoted with two singles: "Money" and "Us and Them".
The Dark Side of the Moon is among the most critically acclaimed records in history and is often featured in professional listings of the greatest albums of all time. The record helped to propel Pink Floyd to international fame, bringing wealth and plaudits to all four band members. A blockbuster release of the album era, it also propelled record sales throughout the music industry during the 1970s. The Dark Side of the Moon has been certified 14× platinum in the United Kingdom and topped the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart, where it has charted for 962 weeks in total. With estimated sales of over 45 million copies, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums worldwide. In 2012, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

TRUE STORY: Christmas, 1979 I was 13yo and the album Meddle was on my “Christmas Wish” list. My brother went to purchase a gift for me, but couldn’t remember which PF album I wanted, Atom Heart Mother or Meddle… he purchased Atom Heart Mother. Christmas morning we are opening our gifts, and with a big smile on his face (believing he picked the right album) he hands me my last gift to open! I unwrapped to find AHM… though I was still very thrilled to receive it, I explained it was Meddle I had on my list. I said, “well, let’s get it on the turntable!” I broke open the cellophane wrap it was still in and pulled out the album and much to my SHOCK!… the label on the album was MEDDLE!!! My brother and I just stared at it and each other for a minute speechless, then ran to the stereo to play and it was Meddle! We called it a “Christmas Miracle!” I, of course, still have the album and a picture of that Christmas morning of my brother and I together right after I had unwrapped it! ❤️🐄🐑🐖🌒💎⚒
What a great story!
Lovely story - great memories.
So are you saying the album sleeve was AHM but the album inside was the actually the Meddle record?! Or the cellophane plastic wasn’t transparent so u couldn’t see thru it to actually see the album cover?!
@@sixstringhans-tone5574 The album/cover was AHM, the cellophane wrap was clear (I could see the album) and it was SEALED/unopened. When I unsealed/opened the cellophane and removed the sleeved album it was MEDDLE.
@@theabardetti3601 I see, wild!
I remember listening to a radio documentary about the making of Dark Side Of The Moon, it was about 25 years ago and the band and those involved were talking on it. I can’t remember which band member said this but they were saying that their Wife/partner was complaining about him being constantly away from home making this album. The band member brought her a finished recording of the Album and she listened to it. She just burst in to tears after the album ended.
It's about Richard Wright
I was 23 years old in 1973 when Dark Side Of The Moon was released. I was overwhelmed. I’m 74 now, and I’m still overwhelmed. I love this music and it brings out the best in me.
I am 59 years old fanatic FLOYDIAN since 14 years old listening to Pink Floyd almost every day🎸🎸Every time I'm listening to PF music, I can't choose which album is my best or favorite song. They have So many beautiful song in each album, very difficult to choose one, love all the albums from1971 meddle up to 1994 division bell
@@RAYGERVATO 👌For sure your father have good taste in music
Clare Torry sang the vocal track of the century on this record
And she did only two takes and they used the first one. It was pure lightning in a bottle
I would just like to say, as a lifelong musician, music lover and a lifelong Floydian ... Thank you for all the music, Roger, David, Rick, Nick and Syd. Obviously, when you were all united as a force to be reckoned with as Pink Floyd, in all three incarnations of the band, and for all your solo albums, even you Nick 😊
All the Floyd boys for your pioneering live shows, your personalities, your uniqueness and depth of insight into the human condition. Pink Floyd, the best band of the 20th and 21st century! David by far the best guitarist of all time, although naturally he would disagree, for your wonderful voice and your smile. Roger, one of the greatest lyricists of any band, your unique vocal style and musical genius. Rick, for your soul, emotive playing and harmonies with David, especially on my favourite track 'Echoes.' Nick, for your drumming, although minimal at times, and expansive when needed. It's all about the spaces! For your natural sense of humour, as 99.9% of us drummers have, and for playing all those pre DSOTM songs with your amazing band 'A Saucerful of Secrets, ' especially those songs that were penned by Syd, some of which had never been played live before. Absolute genius and such a wonderful treat for all Floyd fans both young and old alike! Saw you play at The Roundhouse on your first tour. Never in a million years, when I first heard 'Planet Earth' and by Duran Duran back in the 80's would I of said that one day Gary Kemp would be playing Syd Barrett songs, as well as such Floyd classics like 'Echoes!' In my humble opinion, Gary does a fantastic job too! Guy Pratt, big shoes to fill, but you've gone above and beyond since 1987. Big respect, plus you're married to Rick's daughter.
Glad to have walked this planet earth 🌏 at the same time as all three incarnations of the band, and having been a part of the Floyd's journey since 1968. RIP Syd the originator and Rick the soul of the band 🙏🏼 The music of Pink Floyd will live on until the end of time.
✌🏼 ❤️ 🎶 🎸 🥁 🎤 🎹 🐽 🌸 🍵 🐮 🐂 ⌚ 🎧🎷🐶🐑🍃💨🌬️🍷🪟🫱🏻🫲🏽🍃
Wasn't Gary Kemp in Spandau Ballet?
@@brendanosullivan2484 Yes he was. Senior moment on my part. Thanks for the correction ☺
And of course Claire who contributed so much to the impact of DSOM even if only in one song.
👍💖💖💖💖💖
The Clare Torry interview parts are especially fun and interesting. When the album first came out, I honestly couldn't stand to listen to her singing, but eventually I came to love it so much that I can play some of it back in my head from memory.
That's funny you say that. I thought the same thing at 17 years old. I bought the album for the song Money and it became my least favorite song and the rest of the album blew me away over time. No pun intended.
Pink Floyd is one great Rock band. They all performed perfectly when writing and recording the Dark aSide of the Moon Album. May Rick Wright rest in peace knowing what an achievement he helped make. Plus to the others, Roger yes, you wrote the lyrics but, it did take all of you "Four" members to create this album of great music that has lasted over 50 years now. THAT IS an achievement to say the least! Just think of how many estimated hours people have listened to this Album. How many times a radio station has played each song on the air waves. All that can be said is " too many to count!" One thing is for sure! I will never stop listening to the Dark Side of the Moon Album. It IS that good!
Thank you Pink Anderson and Floyd Counsel!
I was 15 years old when I bought this LP and 52 years later, it's still one of my favorite albums. It made me smile to see the FAB 4 graffiti on the wall outside of Abbey Road Studios. It seemed that the vidoe panned Obscured By Clouds which is a great LP in it's own right and from time to time, I'll put that on the turntable just to listen to San Tropez. I think it underscores Rogers creative range and it's an enigmatic song because I feel it's reminiscent to an early period in time in music, but I can never put my finger on whether it's the 30's or 40's of if it's just Pink Floyd being original!
Great video.
Thanks so much for posting them. Good time for you.
I didn’t know anything about Pink Floyd until I went to school at Appalachian State in the mountains of NC. I was introduced by friends at the time who synced dark side of the moon with the wizard of oz. Wasn’t smoking trees then, if I only knew then what I know now 😂, but that experience wa still trippy af to me 😂 fast forward about 4 yrs later now I’m smoking and found myself watching The Wall..whoa 😮!! Now I’m 41 and this is still one of my favorite rock groups of all time. Wish I had appreciated it more back then
For me it’s always been Gilmour’s masterful flowing guitarwork in the first few opening tracks that set the mood of the album and are the stand-out highlights which stir my soul to the core. Hearing his guitarwork in those first few songs is like climbing into a warm bath at the end of a long hard cold winter’s day. From the very first time I heard the album as a 16 year old one summer night back in 1975, and thru all the decades since, it’s been Gilmour’s guitarwork that does it for me. And of course Roger’s inspired, masterful, thought provoking lyrics that still amaze me at the feelings evoked in me by them. I’m convinced that the very words that were incorporated into the album as its undergirding structure which the music was perfectly suited to, were just waiting in the shimmering ether of Eternity to be birthed and gifted to mankind thru The Dark Side Of The Moon Project by way of Roger’s gift as a worldclass lyricist second to none.
Everything about that album was just waiting for its time to come forth into organized existence. It was all meant to be, and it was David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason who were always the ones meant to bring this gift of masterful magical musical artistry called “The Dark Side Of The Moon” to mankind. And it was always meant to be Clare Torry to bring us the vocal brilliance of the surreal “The Great Gig In The Sky”. And Storm Thorgerson was the one and only human being meant to eternally link the now world renowned signature visual graphic of the prism and light beam to the music of the album. Every part and piece of all that is “The Dark Side Of The Moon” are inseparably connected as one. No part of it can be left out or dismissed without creating some kind of rift in the ether of Eternity. It is all JUST AS IT WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE. I cannot imagine my life without the Pink Floyd album “The Dark Side Of The Moon” in it. Such has been the depth of its impact in my life. It is indeed A PART OF ME that has been interwoven into my soul.
Thank you so much for those beautiful words ❤
@@mathieuhermans1830
I just discovered your comment here, mathieuhermans. You’re welcome! And thank you for the kind response. I’m glad you were able to connect with some of the feelings I tried to express in words as best I could. Take care. The world is growing dim and dangerous from the vile and traitorous efforts of some of the lunatics in our government’s halls. It truly is devolving into an “US & THEM” state.
Who are the orcastra playing the tunes please , that was lovely.
I bought wish you were here when I turned 13 for my birthday and dark side when i was 14 . Always proud of that . Still love them both. 60 soon x
Loved this. Thank you to ALL concerned
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great film on a great album. Certainly more noteworthy than the 15 minute film the band issued today on the same album.
Does anyone know the name of the classical orchestra featured in this video?
I searched everywhere on the internet to find a clue, but without success.
Yes,if you ever found who it was please let us know …want to hear more of them performing this
The group was never known as "The Pink Floyd Blues Band," but were briefly known as "The Pink Floyd Sound." The did not assemble in Cambridge, although that's where a some members were from. The formed in London. These are pretty well-known facts. Research, research
I know, right?
No mention of the Screaming Abdabs, or the Tea Set either..
They were also called mega death too did you know at some point watch the bob close interview its really interesting and listen to the 1965 unreleased album
👍
So… you’re disagreeing with the documentary? So an official doc agrees with Pink Floyd.. so you’re not correct.
Best band ever!
Without the talent and the wonderful voice of Clare Torry, the dark side of the moon would not have been such a great success.
The highlight of the album is the moment when Clare Torry releases her mighty voice.

For me personally....the great gig in the sky is the most awful part of the entire album. I always skip it. I'm sorry but I really don't like it😊
brother that album wouldve been a success no matter what.
Music is mankind's direct attempt to touch the soul ... to connect with the Devine ... to be able to momentarily leave our bodies that glue us to the physical.. it's ephemeral
Who remembers laser shows with DSOTM
Occurred by clouds is never talked about enough. This album, animals and the Final Cut are my favorite Floyd albums.
It isn't talked about because that's not an album, sorry to break it to you
me too i agree
This record was really popular as I recall back in 70's. It has held up well for over 50 years.
Pink Floyd is my band them and the Beatles, Black Sabbath, are the best that came from England. But Pink Floyd is my favourite band. Brilliant musicians👍🏻
I hope the woman who did the vocal for Great gig in the sky, got paid well, and received royalties for an album that lasted 33 years on the top 200 album chart.!!!
She really deserves the world 🤘
She got paid £30. but! then took them to court and got paid an out of court settlement & now has co writers naming. As she should.
31:00 I tip my Hat Madame... the cherry on top, perfectly set into the CREAM... ;-)
As great an album Dark Side undoubtedly is, i prefer Wish You Were Here. I just think it's a better listen. I'm sure Richard Wright said WYWH was his favourite and i know Gilmour has said WYWH is his favourite Floyd album. On Dark Side i love the piano by Richard Wright on Great Gig In The Sky it's a beautiful piece of music.
Best female vocal ever!
No doubt of that!
My favourite Floyd album is Meddle.
(PINK FLOYD THE EPITOME OF MUSIC)
SHINE ON 💎
🎼☮️👊🇨🇦
wow, Yep, got tears:P thank you for this.
STELLAR band, STELLAR album!!
❤️🌈🐷🌈🐷🌈🐷🌈❤️
Just this one song deserves to be an introduction to aliens about humanity. Encapsulates everything human. Very deep and abstract at the same time. AI is almost like accessing the subconscious all at once.
The Quadraphonic soundscapes are the elegant notes coming to life in a way that only we and other highly advanced civilizations of existence can feel in its entirety all the way down to the soul
very good. muito bom
Animals album was also great too!!!
Better than dark side
Yes. And don't forget Meddle, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and The Final Cut!
@@Craigevansagain the Final Cut has its moments but it’s not great
I seen Pink Floyd at the Pontiac Silverdome, in 1994, for a stadium concert, it was incredible.! I saw the Rolling Stones at Comerica Park in Detroit, and the sound was terrible . Really miss a Pink Floyd.
Where is everybody?
Loved the string arraingment does anyone know who that orchestra is?
Before their breakthrough "dark side of the moon"album,they recorded a rare and early song,from perhaps a bootleg lp. I hope someone out there knows this song's title. It was sung by Rick or Roger,is around 6 minutes long,had a melodic upbeat baroque style pipe organ,psychedelic middle 8 guitar solo, was in a minor key(about 6 chords)and snippets of lyrics that went;"AS WE DANCE","STILL WE DANCE",and I think,"PICTURED IN TIME NOW THAT MOMENTS ARE ALIVE". Info would be greatly appreciated!
Sorry, correction - only Syd, Roger and David were born and grew up in Cambridge.
Has anyone got any idea who are the orchestra in this film?
Loved this documentary. Well done and many kudos. Does anyone know any information that might lead to being able to listen to the full classical production of the orchestra throughout the video. Many thanks in advance.
Alot of misinfo here. I suggest looking into more in depth interviews on certin subjects. This is just basic babbling from other "commercial" type videos
@@martyguy8185mot relevant unfortunately to the purpose of my original comment.
@@truefreedom3662 gotta have correct info to listen to the topic your question was about.
@@martyguy8185 the small orchestra in this documentary that performs parts of dark side is very relaxing and well performed. Just no credits to what the various orchestra snips were taken from. They are scattered throughout the video
Ditto! would love to know who the orchestra are etc
Thanks. Very nice documentary. One point: Did you mention Bhaskar Menon regarding DSOTM, or did I fail to notice?
A pink floyd documentary without the music
Roger Waters was never called Roger Fires. He always had the name, Waters.
Annoying that throughout the documentary, subtitle "applause" kept on appearing randomly; nevertheless, this was only a minor irritation.
Sorry about that!
And Sid wasnt a product of drugs. I HATE hearing that cause the truth is that "mental illnesses" were not explored in depth as they are today.......
SID was a very bright young man with a problem that nobody understood then. But good old marketing people now a days only hear what they want.
The interviewees here overly praise the album. The exceptions are Pink Floyd members and Clare Torry.
Meddle is great but the big three to me is dark side-animals
Absolutely brilliant I love this album
The album is called Dark Side of the Moon not The Dark Side of the Moon
Trivial technicalities, you have to much time on your hands 🤣
When the album came out it was THE dark side of the Moon. They later get rid of the ,,the‘‘
@@bluehawk777 That's "TOO much," not "TO much..." ha,ha,ha,ha
@@bnr_jan kind-of like from The Pink Floyd to Pink Floyd
On Spotify they have it as The Dark Side of the Moon
DAVID. Nuf said.
...it was the devil looking up.
Good album, this and the wall are my least favorites, their earlier stuff was more cutting edge for the times.
I'm against classification... But Pynk Floyd is above everybody else ....and David Gilmore is there as Messiah...
if you cant get the licensing for the original music, why bother playing that absolute ear poison? still good info though. lol
Bello il tutto,ma per Me-e un mio egoismo,il pianoforte,non è adatto,per questi pezzi,alle mie orecchie,suona troppo martellante.lorgano e più adatto,ripeto è un mio pensiero,e gusto per la musica...
"dAVID sCAM mORE:
David Scam More"
**** NO WAY IS DARK SIDE OF THE MOON BETTER THEN UMMUGUMMA OR ATOM HART MOTHER RATED BEST of pink floyd top two albums and wish you were here no3. meddle 4 weaker to stronger albums etc.
Me,me,me. What's next ? Change the name of US and Them to Me and Them. I'm too tired of this shit. Just stop.
A documentary of cis whyte male privilege.
Good work, Carly. You’ve managed to answer the question that nobody asked.
Damn, you've got a point. Pink Floyd is even cooler than we thought.
Bet you're fun at parties.
Maybe this is why music was better back then?
What? A succes after almost a decade of work. Hardly call that a privilege.
Meddle is when they found their sound, my opinion. Was able to see "The Wall" in L.A. was only 19 yrs old, high risk mail order only, send a check in the mail and hope for the best, luckily we got Lodge level directly in-line with Stage. Roger Waters got his wish, he always wanted a Wall between the audience and the Band.
whos the posh boy the coers were awfull
