I played this for my dad as he was passing away. It was just him and i in the hospital room and he was at that stage where there were no more words that could be spoken. All i could think to do is play some of his favorite albums for him, with him, one last time while i held his hand. I miss that man so much. This album will always remind me of him.
This is the last thing I'd want to hear on my deathbed. All my wasted time, all my failures, all my squandered potential. That's not the moment to rub it in.
Oh my goodness, God bless you!! I played Dark Side for my husband as he was passing away in February this year. He was only 38. We ended with "Wish You Were Here" on that album; I could not have planned it any better if I had tried 😢 May your dear old dad rest in peace!! You're a good kid, Jon ❤
At last an official version on RUclips with no interruptions between songs, this is the proper way to listen to this masterpiece. Edit: Reading some of the comments saying that listening to it on youtube is not the proper way, I want to clarify that I have it on vinyl and I have a great turntable and audio equipment. For me that's the best way to listen to it... but what I meant is that it should be listened to without interruptions.
I was 11 years old when this album came out and my older sister was 14 (RIP). She always had the cool albums and she had this album first. I remember going to Sears store in 1977 and picking up this album for myself after hearing it. From what I can remember, it never left my turntable. I played it and played it. It was life-changing for me. All these years later at 61 years old with terminal cancer I still listen to this album all the time and all of Pink Floyd’s collection. It’s been my favorite band forever.
In 1973, my neighbor came running across the street and started beating on my window, he said you have got to come hear this...he had an incredible sound system in his room, we darkened the room, one of the greatest and timeless musical experiences I've ever had...this album defies to be tied to any musical decade..
That's hilarious. I totally get what you're saying. You're saying this album is the epitome of timeless, and I 100% agree. But at the same time it's easy for me to tie this to a decade. Early 1970s at its finest. It just happens to also be the greatest album of all time. This album is the biggest reason why, for me the greatest era of music was the 60s/70s even though it's slightly before my time and I didn't get to experience the vibe first hand, in real time like you did. The 80s were the most eclectic across the board (from Slayer to Duran Duran), creative and experimental with new music tech, the 90s were an amazing back to basics, less flash more substance time, and then we started falling off with the advent of the internet. Enter the "music should be free" crowd killing the dreams and incentive of countless, actually talented musicians, and replace them with soul-less mouse and keyboard warriors ready to click their way into being a talent, no talent required. Can't sing? NO PROBLEM! Auto-tune. Can't play an instrument? NO PROBLEM! Hit ctrl+I for instrument, then clicky click you're Beethoven! 😂
@@redpilledcovfefe indeed, my brother bought the album when it came out, he was about 14, i was 10 and loved it. fast forward to me being 19 and taking lsd and thinking...i know what will go perfectly with this lol. then fast forward a few more years and it comes out on cd...wow add mushrooms to the mix and it's even more of a thing of great beauty
This album was released on this day, March 1, 1973 … 51 years ago. I was 18 and about to graduate high school in Iowa. It was life altering, especially the song ‘Time’ … the lyrics, “And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun” This became like a mantra to me. It got me out of the place I was and to what I have become - a better man. Music is a huge part of my life, and this remains one of my top 3 albums.
My Dad passed away on Wednesday February 1, 2023. He was a huge Pink Floyd fan. He had amazing taste in music. From a very young age, I can remember waking up to him playing this album from his bedroom, and then as I got ready for school. I will miss you SO MUCH Pop. My heart is broken. I miss my morning phone call from you...especially your "My son!" after I said hello. You're no longer in pain or suffering. I love you Papasito. Thank you for EVERYTHING! Forever in my ❤️. Update edit: As a tribute to my Dad...I've since gotten "My son" with his initials A.L.O. tattooed on my right forearm.
I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. It is a nice tribute you put here and appropriate on his favourite group album. Sending you kind and comforting thoughts
May he forever rest in peace and have a great afterlife. He has a great taste in music. it is never easy losing a loved one and i hope you will cherish his memories forever
Sorry for your loss my friend. BUT YOU’RE DAD HAS AWESOME TASTE!!! You will be with him someday in TIME. Which you should listen to carefully. Take care
This album changed my whole perspective of life. As in it's cover, my life was more colorful after listening this record. Simply one of the best things that could happen to my life. Thank you for sharing this to the world!
This album came out during my first year in college. The effects of the Vietnam War were everywhere. I fell into the drug scene and dropped out of college disillusioned. Three years later, I met the girl who would save my life. We will celebrate our 47th anniversary in a few days. This music brings tears to my eyes as it transports me back to a time when my world turned upside down.
I didn't get verklempt until the very end. Still remember how blown away I was by this album when I first heard it back in, oh, '73? I'd never heard anything like it. Still haven't, really. Love the comment from that 13 year old kid. Have heard comments like that before from young folk who think the music being produced today sux and that they wish they could've been around when things like Dark Side were first being created. I'm glad I was.
This album repeats in history as society repeats history (Vietnam = Afghanistan, etc.) and being one who scored well in both “American & World History” I feel we are seeing the first steps to repeating it again, WW3 but here in America due to so many let over our Southern border. Unless something is done soon, I feel a financial crash come Jan - March 2024 which will be noted as the starting point.
My dad’s favorite band was Pink Floyd. He passed away about 3 weeks ago. I grew up with the best taste in music thanks to my Daddio. His favorite song was Comfortably Numb, but his favorite lyric was from Time and it says “And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again.” When I turned my dad’s car on for the first time after he passed… guess what the first words I heard out of the speaker were? Exactly those lyrics!! My dad has been sending me so many signs since his passing and most of them involve Pink Floyd. I know he’s rockin’ out in heaven right now. Until I meet you there, Daddio. Shine on, you crazy diamond. 💎
❤your comments on your dad, sorry to hear his passing. My mom passed 2yrs n May mother's day actually!! I so miss her, I feel a bit empty. Didn't think ot would hit me so deep. We have our sweet music they loved etc. ❤
I'm 67yrs old and it takes me back, and timeless this is !!! I sing and I cry, happy tears because it takes me back, and cry because my life is coming to an end !!!! God how fast your life goes !!! 😢 But I will keep listening till I'm gone !!! Yeahhhh DARK SIDE OF THE MOON !!!!
One of the greatest albums of all time...meant to be listened to in its entirety. Forget about singles. This is an album that has to be listened to from start to finish. I love that.
There are no gaps between songs here. Many albums of this period were made that way because the burgeoning free form FM radio would play entire albums.............I miss that kind of radio but alas it's all gone now.
@@user-io3th6lo9t As a Teen in the 70s I have found it hard to recognize what this plant has become. We Lived an Era that no other will ever be or compare. . . And why would we ever want it to ? ~d(-_-)b~ aHEAD of the Ages 🤔😎✌
This album was my introduction to Pink Floyd. I was given it as a birthday present in 1973 and haven't stopped playing it ever since, one of the greatest albums ever recorded
Great concept album. It talks about death. Money. Insanity. Getting old. Greed. Life in general. This is the reason it's a epic masterpiece. It touches the soul of what makes us human.
Roger Waters is a lyrical genius he had a nerve breakdown trying to top Dark Side I don't think he managed to I like the Wall LP but there's no way to capture lightning in a bottle twice Dark Side is a masterpiece
My husband and I used to listen to this Album. He passed away. It will be two long long years this November the 16th.On that day I will be listening to this Album.I Miss you Jason!!!
Sorry that you lost your love of your life. I've noticed that this album has a lot of death connected to it. I don't mean in a bad way but so many commenters mention the loss of a beloved person. Maybe it's because this album transports us into that realm where people pass over to the other side. PS: I hope you're ok and feeling a bit better. Greetings from Cape Town ❤❤
He obviously had great taste in music. Says a lot more than many folks realize. Sounds like someone I would have hung out with. When it comes to loss just know that you're not alone. Cosmos bless you 🥹
Central Texas here…Sittiing on the patio listening to the full album with Eclipse timed to play at totality….this is so cool….never in my 62yrs did I ever dream this could be possible!
Thank you. My Grandpa showed me this album when i was growing up as many others. Sadly around oct i lost him, this 20th of april... i have to say goodbye to him. I just know he would of loved the competition and seeing new life breathe into something he loved VERY deeply. Anytime that man was jamming out it was for sure pink floyd all the way. Thank you for all you do as i sit here and remember the beautiful man that was my Grandpa. Shine on you crazy diamond you... i will forever miss you grandpa. I love you.
I was just a kid, in Florence, Italy, the first time I listened to the Pink Floyd. My neighbor was passionate about music and introduced me and my brother to them. He showed us a music magazine in which a critic wrote that Pink Floyd are as important as Mozart or Beethoven. The world will still listen to their music even in 3 or 4 centuries from now. He was so right!
i think I was 15 when this album was released. Tripping music but no drugs are really required. A good pair of headphones and your journey begins. An amazing piece of craftsmanship and they had only just begun. Awesome talent and extreme memories. Thanks so much guys! A big part of my life. Congrats on both of your careers. Have a cigar..
Thank you to the Highest Being for aligning the stars and the cosmos, allowing these four incredible individuals (David, Roger, Rick and Nick) to cross paths and meet in this lifetime and create something truly special for the world to enjoy and experience. Love you, Pink Floyd!
you should check out "shpongle are you shpongled" while you are sphongled on some mushrooms or the like. a different style but a masterpiece nontheless
Good on yer kiddo ❤ My 86 year old husband is going through the last days of his life at the moment 😢 This album brought us together in 1976 and I am playing it for him now because it has always been special for us ❤ x
For a 50 year old album, it's still as great as when it was released all those years ago. This album truly is one of a kind and will remain a stamp, no engraving in music history. This album will never die.
Im 73 years old and i love Pink Flyod .My friend from Philadelphia gave me the T shirt from PF tour at Philadelphia PA Spectrum March 15 1973 ..I still have the T shirt still fits me like back when i was 24 years old 😊
Saw their first concert here in St Louis in 70's . Dark Side of the Moon was INCREDIBLE! Lazer Lighting was the new kid on the block and they had the crowd mesmerized! NOBODY LEFT THEIR SEATS!!!! I'm 77 now and they're STILL my favorite❤❤
Can everyone just take a moment to appreciate whoever uploaded this video and didn't put any ads in the mix? They are obviously fans who know the album should be listened to front to back. Kudos my man!
My friend introduced me to The Pink Floyd as a young teenager with this album and I've been hooked ever since. I own every Pink Floyd and the late great Syd Barrett albums. Greatest Band Ever!
17 years old, would play this on my record player all night long. 67 now, and it still sounds brand new! Thank you Pink Floyd, for all the years of wonderful music.
I know this is off topic, but if you believe Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose again, that's *all* you have to do to have everlasting life and spend eternity in complete joy with God. Hope this message blesses you.
Just one year short of you, but all versions in vinyl are being played here regularly on a superb player with an 14 inch arm and a great Koetsu element. Never a dull moment, always enjoying of what they created 50 years ago. I still realize what I had to do to get my first Dark side of the Moon lp and it always gives me a great feeling I decided to buy it at 15 years of age after 20 hours of hard labour😊
I’m 67 too and remember well the first time I heard Dark Side of the Moon when it was first released!! The place, the people, the drugs, ………and it played day and night for months……………🇦🇺❤️
As a dude in his late 40’s we can never quite express to the youth that their youth is a super power and life goes by so wicked fast. The illogic of life…🤗
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one listening to this absolute masterpiece in March 2024 . I’m so grateful to have this be a part of life’s musical journey
64 years old now. Been listening to Pink Floyd from my teens. Each track on this album is a piece of creative genius blending musicality with story telling creating mental pictures of the essence of life in the modern world and yet has a timeless appeal.
I was just scrolling through the comments. It’s so nice to have a break from all the negativity in the world and see that people can be encouraging to one another. Thank you all for your beautiful comments! God loves each and every one of you! Have a wonderful day! 🙌🙌🙌🙌💖💖💖💖
Pink Floyd's music got me through the darkest moments of my life ❤️ I am forever grateful and I wish the current musicians of our modern times would take a moment to sit back and absorb the deep messages left for us by these talented and knowledgeable musicians like Pink Floyd 🎶❤🖤❤️🎶 All we can do is listen and learn from those that came before us!
What's amazing about this album is that you can listen to it hundreds of times and never get bored with it. It never gets old. You know all the words, you know all the guitar solos, you know all the music and the sound effects...... you know every second of this album by heart. And yet you can listen to it over and over again.
This album and many others in this time period not only catch the artist at the peak of their creativity but are produced and engineered so brilliantly that they will never age or lose their luster and will stand up to endless listenings.
So true Joe. Amazingly, I am still hearing new things in it the older I get and I know this album inside and out. Only the great artists pull stuff like this off.
In 1976, I used this beautiful album to teach English, as a substitute teacher, to a 7th grade class in Narsaq, Greenland. When they asked about "Great Gig in the Sky" I said it was communication beyond language. Some of them seemed to understand. They were great. So was and is the music. Thank you forever, Pink Floyd from my Heart.........
The production quality of this album renders it genuinly ageless and the themes explored go right to the heart of the dark side of humans and their ways which will never leave us as well.
I'm too unhappy to listen to music anymore. This used to be one of my favorite albums and bands, I spent most of my teen years listening, I named my cat after the band, but now, I am too unhappy, and to listen to this stuff only makes me think of how better days are long over. 😟 I don't really enjoy much of anything anymore, the world has changed too much and I do not like it anymore. I'm just waiting for my end now.
When I was a little girl this album scared me. In my teens I discovered it again and fell in love with it completely, its my go to album to release my stress and reminisce on my dad and the good times we had listening to this album. Thank you dad for giveing me my love for music.
Imagine hearing it live, as I have by both the Roger Waters collection of musicians. And a couple times with David Gilmore and the original crew , the first time in the LA ,coliseum with around a hundred thousand other fans, it's like being in the music as it's being played , up there with a Grateful Dead show. No words can describe it
I’ve been listening to this album for 50 years. The musical chemistry and creative genius reached in this masterpiece rivals anything the brilliant Beatles achieved. We are so privileged to have the gift of hearing it.
51 years now… may it continue to enchant people for another 50 years. This remains such a masterpiece to me. It’s pretty amazing how the composition and production of this album still holds up to this day, and how far ahead of its, well, Time it was.
I'm sixteen and this album turned my life upside down! I have never cried because of music before! After listening to this masterpiece, I began to enjoy life! This is absolutely fantastic!
For me it's as simple as can be if you go to the beginning of Floyd and Sid Barrett who started it. Watch their journey as they grow and listen to any interviews with the members of the group.
42 dawg.... common knowledge... look at how long the album is... 42 minutes.... there was actually 5 seconds cut from the beginning "chaos" because they needed the 42!!
50 years old and still gets 23million views shows just how good bands like this are and how much of an influence they've had on generations of music lovers.
Imagine that .... Alive when the ORIGINAL album was released .... and 50 years later, I'm still here for this release. I am humbled and have been blessed!
I'm like you; 'cept. I have a step-son that stole this and a lot of other records from groups and solo singers. Others like original Honkey Chateau by none other than Elton John. I used to listen to Pink Floyd and loved it. Do still; but get MAD when I realize what that whimp did.
This album is a great masterpiece, a gem that marked rock history in 1973. The sound and music are really amazing and impressive, total perfection. The album explores the philosophical journey of each song from start to finish. The legendary band Pink Floyd did a good teamwork to compose this record. Happy 50th anniversary. 🌘
I'M having goosebumps.I just can't have enough of it.I'm 75 this year,a Pink Floyd Die Hard Fan.Pink Anderson n Floyd Council must be Looking Down From Heaven with Delight, Right On Guys!
I keep listening to this masterpiece for 50 years, it hasn't aged, I'm always discovering new nuances and new sounds, there seems to be an intrinsic magic in these sounds. Eternal masterpiece.
I am from Cameroon West Africa, i came across this timesless piece from a few movies watched. I added the album on my spotify playlist since then, it has been a life changing experience. listening to this album is soothing to the mind i can't find words to describe it but, it is fanastic.
Comfortably Numb introduced to me Pink Floyd during lockdown. Echoes mesmerized me when I was having a hard time, pressured by lectures and homeworks. Then one day, I decided to checkout this album. Oh man, I wish I could experience it for the first time once more, the magic they delivered.
Born in 1980, I grew up listening what my parents were listening. And during my childhood I heard A LOT of Pink Floyd. While playing in my bedroom, I remember having heard this album dozens of times, not to say hundreds or a thousand. I remember how life was so nice. To grow up in theses conditions was great! Now I'm 43 and these souvenirs of mine almost appear as if it was another person. Lost my Dad in 2021, I miss him so much. I miss this sweet time of childhood when he was playing Pink Floyd in our house, putting the volume.... HIGH ! I miss you so much Dad, every single day since you're gone is like living someone's else life. Thank you for having made me discover such treasures in music's world. Treasures like... PINK FLOYD.
Been listening to this album since I was in my mother’s womb… 44 years later and I still don’t skip tracks.. I play it though from start to finish.. just like my parents and all my neighbors did growing up…
I remember listening to this in the 70s after school, and here I am all those years later still listening and never tiring of it. Thanks Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, and everyone who contributed to this masterpiece.
I listen to the album very often, several times a week probably. I listen to it more now than I ever did when it came out. Not seeing Floyd play is my only real regret.
Check out some of the tribute bands. I was lucky to see Floyd several times in England and I've also been to a few tributes. Think Floyd are definitely worth checking out if they are still performing!
My dad’s favorite album. Passed away from cancer at age 46 in 1999. We didn’t agree on much except both loving this album. RIP old man, love you and miss you
So sorry for your loss. My parents and I don't get along well especially since I had to move back in with my own health problems dam not what I cold call a success but not for lack of trying.
This is still one of the greatest sounding albums ever. I have heard this record hundreds of times, and I am listening to it again after some time, I am hearing it in a completely different light. Just fantastic. Humanity is very fortunate to have this work of art.
At 65, This is still my go to Album. I've listened to this Album at least monthly for 50 years. And often play along with it on the piano. Greatest Album of all time!!
Sinceramente, el mejor album de todos los tiempos y de la mejor banda de todos los tiempos, este album es unico, te da sensaciones diferentes en cada cancion, podes sentirte feliz, nostalgico, triste, loco u otros. Gracias Pink Floyd por esto y les doy gracias por ser la mejor banda de todos los tiempos❤
Used to sit in my first house , lights down , headphones on, taken to another world, best album ever , now 73 and still get goosebumps listening to it...❤
Same here. Gonna be 70 couple of months. I just listened to it in its entirety.......again, for the millionth time it would seem. Same goosebumps............Same tears.
Alan Parsons is also one of the best audio engineers so of course the guys had him work on this masterpiece. Not sure this will ever be duplicated. I am blessed to have lived through those times. I'm 68 now and still listen to Floyd all the time. It seems futuristic but at the same time it never gets old.
You know an album is good when you immediately go to the comments and say how old you are. I'm turning 61. This album is part of my DNA at this point. It permeates my thinking on a daily basis.
Gehoor hierdie album in Februarie van twintig sestien waar gebruik om te lewe en geskenk geskenk aan my gegee en ek is onskuldig en niemand kan dit steel van my.
A friend of mine with older brothers introduced me to this album in 1974, I was 12 years old. I'm 62 now and still love it. I can relate each song to different events that I've experienced, The Great Gig in the Sky will be the final one, as my funeral song.
Pink Floyd really achieved something bigger than themselves with this album. This album is one of mankind's greatest achievements not only in music, but also in art. Not only is it the greatest album of all time, but it is the most perfectly crafted album. Having topics and messages that ring truer than ever. Happy 50th Anniversary to this extraordinary album and piece of art that shall stand the test of time for many years to come.
I'm really sure everyone know better about Dark Side album art more than who they are. Before i listen to them, i never heard David Gilmour, Roger Waters, or anyone else in the band but i'm sure i saw that cover somewhere.
I have a DSOTM cycling jersey, and, without fail, at least 1 or 2 people point to it or say something about the album whenever I cycle wearing it. What I find really amazing (and, at first, surprising) is that many of them are in their 20s, from all corners of the world (including 5 guys from Uruguay that approached me in 2018, in Niagara Falls) and they're all totally enraptured devotees of the album. DSOTM is a incredible artistic accomplishment -- truly wonderful, innovative music (Gilmour's and Wright's superb, emotive playing, and Clare Torry's tremendous, heartfelt vocals on Great Gig In The Sky) coupled with Waters's timeless, relevant, profound, philosophical lyrics about fear, life, death, greed, war, injustice, insanity, etc.. And, Hipgnosis's album cover art (light thru a prism on a black background) is truly iconic and identifies the album without words. It's no wonder that DSOTM has been on Billboard's top albums list for 18 years (14 years consecutively) and is treasured by people all over the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Pink Floyd!
While a HS Senior experienced this album at the Bishop Planetarium, Bradenton Florida. Seats leaned back, lights went off and in came the best planets/shooting stars/laser light show I’ve ever seen. Listening again for the first time in so many years. Wow. Just wow.
This is a gem that I discovered in my twenties when I started implementing old school music and now, being 47, I totally understand what real music is. Timeless.
Pink floyd is one of the greatest bands that will never be forgotten, ever. No band will ever be able to have the talent that the floyd boys had, ever.
This album has come a long way with me. It played on loop for me all through high school. It was the first music I played for my first son when he was first born. It was the soundtrack to the acid trip that lead to me getting into my most lucrative career path, and then the soundtrack to the trip that showed me I had to leave that company and change fields entirely. I was listening to this today while watching my youngest son playing in the yard, exploring the flowers in the grass. This is what living sounds and feels like. Not existing, living a life full of journeys, and wonderful things, and turmoil, and love, and all of the emotions that make life worth seeing out. It reminds me about all of the things in the world that truly matter and allows me to simply ignore everything that doesn't. Heavy.
True buddy... Seems so much like how i feel too. 56 now and have been listening to this since i was 13 and i thank God/ Universe for this divine music that has been part of my everyday journey thru life!!
@@aymanfayad4171 I used to be an operation manager for a logistics company that I won't name, but the initials are F and E. After a couple years there my psyche had been completely shot, ever rising expectations, no qualifications of success, only failure states. I decided to start building houses, I now make slightly more an hour but lower take home, but that's because I'm no longer working 70-90 hour weeks and my mental stability is significantly improved, I no longer wake up in a bed filled with beer bottles most mornings, so that's at least a few steps the right direction, I'd say. Thanks for the questions and likes, I didn't think anyone would actually read my life story. It means a lot to me.
60 in 4 months - Same. Got to see Roger Waters in Perth, W.A. on the 9th of Feb 2007. Had the sweet spot in front of the mixing desk. THE loudest, clearest and BEST concert i have EVER been to. Still brings a smile to my face. Best music EVER!
There is only one music in the world that pushes all the buttons, Dark side of the moon. And when the music starts you are overwhelmed and powerless....in delirious bliss. Lucas Reta
Clare sued EMI and PF for songwriting credit and the case was settled out of court in 2004. Since then she has received (rightfully so, IMHO) a songwriting credit as co-writer with Rick Wright.
I was in high school when this album came out. There is no band that holds a key to pink Floyd! Their music will live forever. How blessed was I to listen to pink Floyd. I feel sorry for those that have never heard them. My 3 grown sons love pink Floyd!!!❤
I'll be 50 in June so I've never known a world without these songs and yet listening beginning to end, the last 90 seconds of Eclipse gave me straight cold chills top to bottom. This is as high as high art can get. To remain evocative after the most media-stimulated 50 years on this planet is a true testament to a perfect band. RIP Richard Wright, you were a master.

I played this for my dad as he was passing away. It was just him and i in the hospital room and he was at that stage where there were no more words that could be spoken. All i could think to do is play some of his favorite albums for him, with him, one last time while i held his hand. I miss that man so much. This album will always remind me of him.
If my loved ones played this as I slipped away , then I would be be the happiest dying soul. Take care and comfort,, you are loved
This is the last thing I'd want to hear on my deathbed. All my wasted time, all my failures, all my squandered potential. That's not the moment to rub it in.
Oh my goodness, God bless you!! I played Dark Side for my husband as he was passing away in February this year. He was only 38. We ended with "Wish You Were Here" on that album; I could not have planned it any better if I had tried 😢 May your dear old dad rest in peace!! You're a good kid, Jon ❤
Great gig in the sky😢
Yep, I'm down for The Great Gig in the Sky, what else do you want. PEACE TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. ✌️😎🏴
At last an official version on RUclips with no interruptions between songs, this is the proper way to listen to this masterpiece.
Edit: Reading some of the comments saying that listening to it on youtube is not the proper way, I want to clarify that I have it on vinyl and I have a great turntable and audio equipment. For me that's the best way to listen to it... but what I meant is that it should be listened to without interruptions.
Thats very true, I never listened to it on youtube because of that
👏👏👏👏👏
And now will be interesting that could share here the 5.1 or quadrophonic (this one made by Alan Parson) mix.
Back in the day we had to flip the album. And then there was the spot in the middle of songs when the 8 track player I had in my car switched tracks!
Agree
This is the greatest album. It touches my heart, and the tears flow uncontrollably. I have been listening to it for fifty years.
This album leaves me comfortably numb Too.
The best,always in my head 71 and still going X
Say that again😭
So have I great song head music
❤
I'm 72. Been playing this for 50 years. Best album ever
I remember this music coming out of speakers that were as tall as me.
It does slap
@@shoechewWOW. What a recollection.
Naa.. ten years after... A space in time
We still have my parent’s record and I love to hear the pops and crackles where they belong.
I was 11 years old when this album came out and my older sister was 14 (RIP). She always had the cool albums and she had this album first. I remember going to Sears store in 1977 and picking up this album for myself after hearing it. From what I can remember, it never left my turntable. I played it and played it. It was life-changing for me. All these years later at 61 years old with terminal cancer I still listen to this album all the time and all of Pink Floyd’s collection. It’s been my favorite band forever.
A great memory lane Donny best wishes
Thanks for sharing your story! Sending you peace and good thoughts, Donny!
Still the same kid Donny. That kid will live forever in time.
Hi Donny, you have the perfect Music for your last Adventure. Don't panic, you get free.
Are you still with us sir?
In 1973, my neighbor came running across the street and started beating on my window, he said you have got to come hear this...he had an incredible sound system in his room, we darkened the room, one of the greatest and timeless musical experiences I've ever had...this album defies to be tied to any musical decade..
That's hilarious. I totally get what you're saying. You're saying this album is the epitome of timeless, and I 100% agree. But at the same time it's easy for me to tie this to a decade. Early 1970s at its finest. It just happens to also be the greatest album of all time. This album is the biggest reason why, for me the greatest era of music was the 60s/70s even though it's slightly before my time and I didn't get to experience the vibe first hand, in real time like you did. The 80s were the most eclectic across the board (from Slayer to Duran Duran), creative and experimental with new music tech, the 90s were an amazing back to basics, less flash more substance time, and then we started falling off with the advent of the internet. Enter the "music should be free" crowd killing the dreams and incentive of countless, actually talented musicians, and replace them with soul-less mouse and keyboard warriors ready to click their way into being a talent, no talent required. Can't sing? NO PROBLEM! Auto-tune. Can't play an instrument? NO PROBLEM! Hit ctrl+I for instrument, then clicky click you're Beethoven! 😂
LSD made it a whole new experience
@@ikigai47I grew up in the 80s & yh there's not much lined up in the way of legends tbf
@@redpilledcovfefe💯 agree my friend
@@redpilledcovfefe indeed, my brother bought the album when it came out, he was about 14, i was 10 and loved it. fast forward to me being 19 and taking lsd and thinking...i know what will go perfectly with this lol. then fast forward a few more years and it comes out on cd...wow add mushrooms to the mix and it's even more of a thing of great beauty
This album was released on this day, March 1, 1973 … 51 years ago. I was 18 and about to graduate high school in Iowa. It was life altering, especially the song ‘Time’ … the lyrics,
“And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun”
This became like a mantra to me. It got me out of the place I was and to what I have become - a better man.
Music is a huge part of my life, and this remains one of my top 3 albums.
What's your other two favourite albums if you don't mind me asking?
@@kybravo3744 Desperado by The Eagles and Harvest by Neil Young.
Also my last year of H.S. in Iowa. Sioux City North High. I first found P.F. with Ummagumma & Atom Heart Mother. Darkside was a mind blower.
Yes, I was 20 and since then, I used the motto "carpe diem"... :)
Still mind bending,forever expanding. I'm 58 and I've been listening to Floyd since I was 11. ✌️🤯💞
If you have taken the time to read the comments then you know this music has made sooooo many people happy. Enough said.
Perfectly put brother. Peace
My Dad passed away on Wednesday February 1, 2023. He was a huge Pink Floyd fan. He had amazing taste in music. From a very young age, I can remember waking up to him playing this album from his bedroom, and then as I got ready for school.
I will miss you SO MUCH Pop. My heart is broken. I miss my morning phone call from you...especially your "My son!" after I said hello. You're no longer in pain or suffering. I love you Papasito. Thank you for EVERYTHING!
Forever in my ❤️.
Update edit: As a tribute to my Dad...I've since gotten "My son" with his initials A.L.O. tattooed on my right forearm.
I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. It is a nice tribute you put here and appropriate on his favourite group album. Sending you kind and comforting thoughts
Sorry to hear that!!! But it shows, he was a caring father!!!
May he forever rest in peace and have a great afterlife. He has a great taste in music. it is never easy losing a loved one and i hope you will cherish his memories forever
Sorry for your loss my friend. BUT YOU’RE DAD HAS AWESOME TASTE!!! You will be with him someday in TIME. Which you should listen to carefully. Take care
❤️hugs Flint michigan
This album changed my whole perspective of life. As in it's cover, my life was more colorful after listening this record. Simply one of the best things that could happen to my life. Thank you for sharing this to the world!
you are an lsd idiot
This album definitely changed me. Even before I started dropping acid to it
Got stoned at 15 and learned that there is a state of mind best described as the 'timeless'. Thanks, Pink!
master David Gilmour👍🎸🎶
We used to use this album to calibrate our Hi-Fis. If DSOTM sounded great, everything else was a lock.
This album came out during my first year in college. The effects of the Vietnam War were everywhere. I fell into the drug scene and dropped out of college disillusioned. Three years later, I met the girl who would save my life. We will celebrate our 47th anniversary in a few days. This music brings tears to my eyes as it transports me back to a time when my world turned upside down.
I didn't get verklempt until the very end. Still remember how blown away I was by this album when I first heard it back in, oh, '73? I'd never heard anything like it. Still haven't, really.
Love the comment from that 13 year old kid. Have heard comments like that before from young folk who think the music being produced today sux and that they wish they could've been around when things like Dark Side were first being created.
I'm glad I was.
A world upside down is ripe for a positive change. Glad you made it through buddy.
This album repeats in history as society repeats history (Vietnam = Afghanistan, etc.) and being one who scored well in both “American & World History” I feel we are seeing the first steps to repeating it again, WW3 but here in America due to so many let over our Southern border. Unless something is done soon, I feel a financial crash come Jan - March 2024 which will be noted as the starting point.

@jak9955 we been $old down the riva decades ago. just ask Sam Shepard. Oh, yeah, he's already dead. lucky bastard!
My dearest friend passed away yesterday, he first got me to listen this album. I shall be forever thankful
My dad’s favorite band was Pink Floyd. He passed away about 3 weeks ago. I grew up with the best taste in music thanks to my Daddio. His favorite song was Comfortably Numb, but his favorite lyric was from Time and it says “And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again.” When I turned my dad’s car on for the first time after he passed… guess what the first words I heard out of the speaker were? Exactly those lyrics!! My dad has been sending me so many signs since his passing and most of them involve Pink Floyd. I know he’s rockin’ out in heaven right now. Until I meet you there, Daddio. Shine on, you crazy diamond. 💎
Rest in peace❤️
❤your comments on your dad, sorry to hear his passing. My mom passed 2yrs n May mother's day actually!! I so miss her, I feel a bit empty. Didn't think ot would hit me so deep. We have our sweet music they loved etc. ❤

Love your comments. They never really leave us. He will always live in you.
Best album ever recorded by any band.I am 70 still listen to it quite often.
This is not just an album, it is a timeless experience. A masterpiece. Thank you.
what u take :D awsome
I'm 67yrs old and it takes me back, and timeless this is !!! I sing and I cry, happy tears because it takes me back, and cry because my life is coming to an end !!!! God how fast your life goes !!! 😢 But I will keep listening till I'm gone !!! Yeahhhh DARK SIDE OF THE MOON !!!!
I have seen Pink Floyd while I was in the Army in Germany in 1972. They did Dark Side of the Moon, it was a outdoor concert in the dark!!!!!
@@RiverRat1953 Just to think, I was born 1972 :D
It is not timeless. Time is in fact track 4.
One of the greatest albums of all time...meant to be listened to in its entirety. Forget about singles. This is an album that has to be listened to from start to finish. I love that.
There are no gaps between songs here. Many albums of this period were made that way because the burgeoning free form FM radio would play entire albums.............I miss that kind of radio but alas it's all gone now.
@@user-io3th6lo9t As a Teen in the 70s I have found it hard to recognize what this plant has become. We Lived an Era that no other will ever be or compare. . . And why would we ever want it to ? ~d(-_-)b~ aHEAD of the Ages 🤔😎✌
Sure it is //
Totally agree!
I'd suggest that Wish You Were Here and Animals is the same deal. You can't listen to these albums piecemeal.
This album was my introduction to Pink Floyd. I was given it as a birthday present in 1973 and haven't stopped playing it ever since, one of the greatest albums ever recorded
In 1982, I decided that Pink Floyd was my all time favorite band. 40 years later, nothing has changed.
I say the same to Black Sabbath, continue being the greatest to me even after ending

American Beauty 1999
Great concept album. It talks about death. Money. Insanity. Getting old. Greed. Life in general. This is the reason it's a epic masterpiece. It touches the soul of what makes us human.
I still think that Wish you were here is the GOAT
Pressures of life.
it's life in album form
starts with a heartbeat and ends with a heartbeat
... and, it's 45 +/- years old ... good energy! Namaste
Roger Waters is a lyrical genius he had a nerve breakdown trying to top Dark Side I don't think he managed to I like the Wall LP but there's no way to capture lightning in a bottle twice Dark Side is a masterpiece
My husband and I used to listen to this Album. He passed away. It will be two long long years this November the 16th.On that day I will be listening to this Album.I Miss you Jason!!!
Just read your comment 38 minutes into the 17th. My heart goes out to you for your loss. 💔 ❤
❤😢🙏🏻
Sorry that you lost your love of your life. I've noticed that this album has a lot of death connected to it. I don't mean in a bad way but so many commenters mention the loss of a beloved person. Maybe it's because this album transports us into that realm where people pass over to the other side.
PS: I hope you're ok and feeling a bit better. Greetings from Cape Town ❤❤
So sorry for your loss love. He'll be playing in the great gig in the sky. God bless him and god bless you 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 💖 🙌
He obviously had great taste in music. Says a lot more than many folks realize.
Sounds like someone I would have hung out with.
When it comes to loss just know that you're not alone.
Cosmos bless you 🥹
I'm 37 and i love Pink Floyd more than anything ever
Nice one❤
You’re a man with something better than just a brain, you have great sensibility.

Central Texas here…Sittiing on the patio listening to the full album with Eclipse timed to play at totality….this is so cool….never in my 62yrs did I ever dream this could be possible!
Pues ya es posible, saludos 🫡

Great!
Even if I have to travel to see the next one I will just to drop a hit of acid and watch it in the same manner lol
That's awesome!! I didn't even think of that! Did you do it?
Thank you. My Grandpa showed me this album when i was growing up as many others. Sadly around oct i lost him, this 20th of april... i have to say goodbye to him. I just know he would of loved the competition and seeing new life breathe into something he loved VERY deeply. Anytime that man was jamming out it was for sure pink floyd all the way. Thank you for all you do as i sit here and remember the beautiful man that was my Grandpa. Shine on you crazy diamond you... i will forever miss you grandpa. I love you.
😢👍💙
I was just a kid, in Florence, Italy, the first time I listened to the Pink Floyd. My neighbor was passionate about music and introduced me and my brother to them. He showed us a music magazine in which a critic wrote that Pink Floyd are as important as Mozart or Beethoven. The world will still listen to their music even in 3 or 4 centuries from now. He was so right!
Eternally enjoyable listening!
Pink Floyd Albums are not just music. They're an experience.
Jah Hah , that's right.....
And their concerts aren't just a concert, they're an EVENT.
Fuckin "A"!
What's an album?
Yes, but wayy too many people think you must be on acid to truly enjoy it. I'd have to disagree.
Half a century old… wow. Still one of the greatest albums of all time
You mean, half a century.
Regardless, it's a timeless album.
@@endergamer.mp4 thanks aha
IMO "The" greatest album of all time.
And still relevant for our times --∆==
@@Daftmike94 Don't forget about Animals and The Wall as well.
i think I was 15 when this album was released. Tripping music but no drugs are really required. A good pair of headphones and your journey begins. An amazing piece of craftsmanship and they had only just begun. Awesome talent and extreme memories. Thanks so much guys! A big part of my life. Congrats on both of your careers. Have a cigar..
Thank you to the Highest Being for aligning the stars and the cosmos, allowing these four incredible individuals (David, Roger, Rick and Nick) to cross paths and meet in this lifetime and create something truly special for the world to enjoy and experience. Love you, Pink Floyd!
Mystical, mysterious, out of this world sublime. No other band has ever duplicated the unique magic that is Pink Floyd.
Pink floyd is great but sublime is pretty damn good now😂
Totally. I think Sublime was the only other band to capture such magic.
And never will. Plus they are Still First in Space.
The Black Keys's sound was influenced by Pink Floyd.
you should check out "shpongle are you shpongled" while you are sphongled on some mushrooms or the like. a different style but a masterpiece nontheless
Good on yer kiddo ❤
My 86 year old husband is going through the last days of his life at the moment 😢 This album brought us together in 1976 and I am playing it for him now because it has always been special for us ❤ x

For a 50 year old album, it's still as great as when it was released all those years ago. This album truly is one of a kind and will remain a stamp, no engraving in music history. This album will never die.
Truth...never die
Roger will never dies
Its fantastically produced its crisp

Im 73 years old and i love Pink Flyod .My friend from Philadelphia gave me the T shirt from PF tour at Philadelphia PA Spectrum March 15 1973 ..I still have the T shirt still fits me like back when i was 24 years old 😊
Saw their first concert here in St Louis in 70's . Dark Side of the Moon was INCREDIBLE! Lazer Lighting was the new kid on the block and they had the crowd mesmerized! NOBODY LEFT THEIR SEATS!!!! I'm 77 now and they're STILL my favorite❤❤
❤God Bless You!❤
I was at that concert as well! They played two nights in a row. Amazing one of a kind experience!
Can everyone just take a moment to appreciate whoever uploaded this video and didn't put any ads in the mix? They are obviously fans who know the album should be listened to front to back. Kudos my man!

Oops sorry wrong. You're older than I. I meant this for the comment before yours. BUT Kool anyhow we enjoy REAL TALENT. ❤
17 years old, would play this on my record player all night long. 67 now, and it still sounds brand new! Thank you Pink Floyd, for all the years of wonderful music.
I know this is off topic, but if you believe Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose again, that's *all* you have to do to have everlasting life and spend eternity in complete joy with God. Hope this message blesses you.
Just one year short of you, but all versions in vinyl are being played here regularly on a superb player with an 14 inch arm and a great Koetsu element. Never a dull moment, always enjoying of what they created 50 years ago. I still realize what I had to do to get my first Dark side of the Moon lp and it always gives me a great feeling I decided to buy it at 15 years of age after 20 hours of hard labour😊
I’m 67 too and remember well the first time I heard Dark Side of the Moon when it was first released!! The place, the people, the drugs, ………and it played day and night for months……………🇦🇺❤️
As a dude in his late 40’s we can never quite express to the youth that their youth is a super power and life goes by so wicked fast. The illogic of life…🤗
I'm 65 and it always sounds new to me too!
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one listening to this absolute masterpiece in March 2024 . I’m so grateful to have this be a part of life’s musical journey
Just got done listening to Wish You Were Here on the last hour of my shift, thought I'd keep the Floyd flowing. Hope you have a good day.
@@mrbones9332 The same here, just done with Wish you were here, so for the last hour of my working day Dark side is on.
i wasnt worried but now i am..

April 2024 too remaster is fire, speaking of fire...
64 years old now. Been listening to Pink Floyd from my teens. Each track on this album is a piece of creative genius blending musicality with story telling creating mental pictures of the essence of life in the modern world and yet has a timeless appeal.

When we realize we all have way more in common, things would be different. We're all just trying to be happy and get through life.
Peace...
Pink Floyd's music got me through the darkest moments of my life ❤️ I am forever grateful and I wish the current musicians of our modern times would take a moment to sit back and absorb the deep messages left for us by these talented and knowledgeable musicians like Pink Floyd
🎶❤🖤❤️🎶
All we can do is listen and learn from those that came before us!
What's amazing about this album is that you can listen to it hundreds of times and never get bored with it. It never gets old. You know all the words, you know all the guitar solos, you know all the music and the sound effects...... you know every second of this album by heart. And yet you can listen to it over and over again.
Facts 💯 went from humming the lyrics bc I didn't know em to well to knowing them by heart 😂
This album and many others in this time period not only catch the artist at the peak of their creativity but are produced and engineered so brilliantly that they will never age or lose their luster and will stand up to endless listenings.
So true Joe. Amazingly, I am still hearing new things in it the older I get and I know this album inside and out. Only the great artists pull stuff like this off.
I can replay the whole thing in my head.

ピンクフロイド史上最高のアルバム。創意工夫の高さがコンセプトアルバムとしても秀逸ですね。
This album means a lot to many people for different reasons. It's a classic. I will visit Floyd until I die.
In 1976, I used this beautiful album to teach English, as a substitute teacher, to a 7th grade class in Narsaq, Greenland. When they asked about "Great Gig in the Sky" I said it was communication beyond language. Some of them seemed to understand. They were great. So was and is the music. Thank you forever, Pink Floyd from my Heart.........
You are a real teacher ❤..
🙏❤️🎶🎵🎶
Cool good story ❤😊
This album is a true masterpiece that transcends genre and time, and its impact on music and culture cannot be overstated.
The production quality of this album renders it genuinly ageless and the themes explored go right to the heart of the dark side of humans and their ways which will never leave us as well.
I'm too unhappy to listen to music anymore. This used to be one of my favorite albums and bands, I spent most of my teen years listening, I named my cat after the band, but now, I am too unhappy, and to listen to this stuff only makes me think of how better days are long over. 😟
I don't really enjoy much of anything anymore, the world has changed too much and I do not like it anymore. I'm just waiting for my end now.

On the run is still pretty scary!!! specially on LSD....
Great Gig in the Sky is perhaps the greatest vocal track ever recorded.

Imagine hearing it live, as I have by both the Roger Waters collection of musicians.
And a couple times with David Gilmore and the original crew , the first time in the LA ,coliseum with around a hundred thousand other fans, it's like being in the music as it's being played , up there with a Grateful Dead show. No words can describe it

I’ve been listening to this album for 50 years. The musical chemistry and creative genius reached in this masterpiece rivals anything the brilliant Beatles achieved. We are so privileged to have the gift of hearing it.
51 years now… may it continue to enchant people for another 50 years. This remains such a masterpiece to me. It’s pretty amazing how the composition and production of this album still holds up to this day, and how far ahead of its, well, Time it was.
This album isn't a collection of songs, it's life experience!
for real and
far out!
Id say spiritual
Absolutely. It's my essence
When you listen, you're inside the Matrix.
It helps you take you to another universe with no worries and just happy feelings
I'm sixteen and this album turned my life upside down! I have never cried because of music before! After listening to this masterpiece, I began to enjoy life! This is absolutely fantastic!

50 years later and I'm still convinced that the meaning of life is hidden somewhere in that album.

For me it's as simple as can be if you go to the beginning of Floyd and Sid Barrett who started it. Watch their journey as they grow and listen to any interviews with the members of the group.

Wish you long,healthy and happy life
I'm like you; 'cept. I have a step-son that stole this and a lot of other records from groups and solo singers. Others like original Honkey Chateau by none other than Elton John. I used to listen to Pink Floyd and loved it. Do still; but get MAD when I realize what that whimp did.
This album is a great masterpiece, a gem that marked rock history in 1973. The sound and music are really amazing and impressive, total perfection. The album explores the philosophical journey of each song from start to finish. The legendary band Pink Floyd did a good teamwork to compose this record. Happy 50th anniversary. 🌘

Comfortably Numb introduced to me Pink Floyd during lockdown. Echoes mesmerized me when I was having a hard time, pressured by lectures and homeworks. Then one day, I decided to checkout this album. Oh man, I wish I could experience it for the first time once more, the magic they delivered.
Now go listen to Animals!

Born in 1980, I grew up listening what my parents were listening. And during my childhood I heard A LOT of Pink Floyd. While playing in my bedroom, I remember having heard this album dozens of times, not to say hundreds or a thousand. I remember how life was so nice. To grow up in theses conditions was great!
Now I'm 43 and these souvenirs of mine almost appear as if it was another person. Lost my Dad in 2021, I miss him so much. I miss this sweet time of childhood when he was playing Pink Floyd in our house, putting the volume.... HIGH ! I miss you so much Dad, every single day since you're gone is like living someone's else life. Thank you for having made me discover such treasures in music's world. Treasures like... PINK FLOYD.
Lost my father in 2006. Honey I'd love to tell you it gets easier but I can't. On the positive side, he's only a thought away... blessings to you 💜
El ALBUM es MAGICO . SIN mas que decir agradezco a este maravilloso grupo de musicos que alteraron mis sentidos para siempre !!!!
It's my story too.
He's not gone. He just moved on. Don't waste a minute mourning. He gave you all the tools you need to thrive and create the path for your kids.
See you on the dark side of the moon
1st I've heard this album since I was a teenager. Now 65 it still rocks just as much! Thanks guys for a lifetime memory!
I have been listening to Pink Floyd since I was three and won't stop listening. Whether I die soon or later, nothing can keep me from true art.
Been listening to this album since I was in my mother’s womb… 44 years later and I still don’t skip tracks.. I play it though from start to finish.. just like my parents and all my neighbors did growing up…
I remember listening to this in the 70s after school, and here I am all those years later still listening and never tiring of it. Thanks Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, and everyone who contributed to this masterpiece.
I listen to the album very often, several times a week probably. I listen to it more now than I ever did when it came out. Not seeing Floyd play is my only real regret.
Probably the finest album ever recorded! I never tire of listening to this!
Oh don't mention it, it was my pleasure.
Check out some of the tribute bands. I was lucky to see Floyd several times in England and I've also been to a few tributes. Think Floyd are definitely worth checking out if they are still performing!
I've seen Brit Floyd several times and they are fantastic!
I'm 68,remember when it came out, now I'm in a waiting room while my son has heart surgery listening to the best album ever made,THANK YOU, PINK FLOYD
How's your son currently doing?
Hope your son is doing well.
Hope everything went well with your son's surgery.
Wow prayers for your son, I certainly know what he has gone through. 3/06/20 I had a triple bypass surgery.
Best of everything for your son.
My dad’s favorite album. Passed away from cancer at age 46 in 1999. We didn’t agree on much except both loving this album. RIP old man, love you and miss you
It's my favorite album and I'm 72. Sad to hear about your dad. I believe that he's in a better place.
Sad to hear that, I hope that he’s in a better place! Big greet from Argentina
So sorry for your loss. My parents and I don't get along well especially since I had to move back in with my own health problems dam not what I cold call a success but not for lack of trying.
May he rest in peace❤🙏
Думаю, что музыку мы уносим с собой как часть души❤❤❤Небесных покровителей Вашему отцу🙏🙏🙏
This is still one of the greatest sounding albums ever. I have heard this record hundreds of times, and I am listening to it again after some time, I am hearing it in a completely different light. Just fantastic. Humanity is very fortunate to have this work of art.
samething here bro,....
At 65, This is still my go to Album. I've listened to this Album at least monthly for 50 years. And often play along with it on the piano. Greatest Album of all time!!
😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
American Beauty 1999
Sinceramente, el mejor album de todos los tiempos y de la mejor banda de todos los tiempos, este album es unico, te da sensaciones diferentes en cada cancion, podes sentirte feliz, nostalgico, triste, loco u otros.
Gracias Pink Floyd por esto y les doy gracias por ser la mejor banda de todos los tiempos❤
I'm not gonna lie, Clare Torry still gives me chills every time I hear her. This album would not be THIS ALBUM without her contribution.
Used to sit in my first house , lights down , headphones on, taken to another world, best album ever , now 73 and still get goosebumps listening to it...❤
Same here. Gonna be 70 couple of months. I just listened to it in its entirety.......again, for the millionth time it would seem. Same goosebumps............Same tears.
First heard this on a holiday beach, woken up by a US Military with a shoulder boogie box in the 70's, still my favourite album.
@@bellshooter gave you a thumbs up but it records zero
I hate these false records
these rich sob's need to be accountable
50 years later, it still sounds like it was recorded in the future. ❤
Excellent "take' & comment! Thanx! Terri Spencer
Alan Parsons is also one of the best audio engineers so of course the guys had him work on this masterpiece. Not sure this will ever be duplicated. I am blessed to have lived through those times. I'm 68 now and still listen to Floyd all the time. It seems futuristic but at the same time it never gets old.
New here 🤚🏼. What are those futuristic features the recording have?
@@juliomejia5284 the sound effects which were rarely heard of in the rock scene back in the early 70's
Doesn't it?!! Arguably the greatest sounding album ever created.
You know an album is good when you immediately go to the comments and say how old you are. I'm turning 61. This album is part of my DNA at this point. It permeates my thinking on a daily basis.
61 here too! ✊️
65
❤
Gehoor hierdie album in Februarie van twintig sestien waar gebruik om te lewe en geskenk geskenk aan my gegee en ek is onskuldig en niemand kan dit steel van my.
Amen
A friend of mine with older brothers introduced me to this album in 1974, I was 12 years old. I'm 62 now and still love it. I can relate each song to different events that I've experienced, The Great Gig in the Sky will be the final one, as my funeral song.
this album is too good for words…which really speaks wonders to its timelessness
Pink Floyd really achieved something bigger than themselves with this album. This album is one of mankind's greatest achievements not only in music, but also in art. Not only is it the greatest album of all time, but it is the most perfectly crafted album. Having topics and messages that ring truer than ever. Happy 50th Anniversary to this extraordinary album and piece of art that shall stand the test of time for many years to come.
I'm really sure everyone know better about Dark Side album art more than who they are. Before i listen to them, i never heard David Gilmour, Roger Waters, or anyone else in the band but i'm sure i saw that cover somewhere.
Very Well Said!
I would change years to come to Forever
would not get into GOAT , or dubious comparisons, American jazz and much more with more virtuousity and timelessness
Just............❤
I have a DSOTM cycling jersey, and, without fail, at least 1 or 2 people point to it or say something about the album whenever I cycle wearing it. What I find really amazing (and, at first, surprising) is that many of them are in their 20s, from all corners of the world (including 5 guys from Uruguay that approached me in 2018, in Niagara Falls) and they're all totally enraptured devotees of the album. DSOTM is a incredible artistic accomplishment -- truly wonderful, innovative music (Gilmour's and Wright's superb, emotive playing, and Clare Torry's tremendous, heartfelt vocals on Great Gig In The Sky) coupled with Waters's timeless, relevant, profound, philosophical lyrics about fear, life, death, greed, war, injustice, insanity, etc.. And, Hipgnosis's album cover art (light thru a prism on a black background) is truly iconic and identifies the album without words. It's no wonder that DSOTM has been on Billboard's top albums list for 18 years (14 years consecutively) and is treasured by people all over the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Pink Floyd!
curious... Your family isn't from the Hudson Valley, is it..?
(Lady with your name worked at my grade school. When DSOTM came out. Lolz)
While a HS Senior experienced this album at the Bishop Planetarium, Bradenton Florida. Seats leaned back, lights went off and in came the best planets/shooting stars/laser light show I’ve ever seen. Listening again for the first time in so many years. Wow. Just wow.
Album was designed to be listened to in order all at once. All studio floyd albums are like that where each song is a chapter
This is a gem that I discovered in my twenties when I started implementing old school music and now, being 47, I totally understand what real music is. Timeless.
I was 13 when this came out, 50 years ago, still listening to it.
It never gets old.
Its timeless.
Same here! Greetings from Germany
I listen to it once a week. Never gets old
I'm 78 years old and I never get tired of it. I like to chill with Pink Floyd occasionally. Our God is good. May God bless.
And here we are in 2023 still listening to this timeless masterpiece by such a legendary group.
Я чуть постарше @bobbg9041, но то что объединенияет, это то что произошло знакомство более 50 лет назад. Pink Floyd мы переболели все!
Pink floyd is one of the greatest bands that will never be forgotten, ever. No band will ever be able to have the talent that the floyd boys had, ever.
50 years of listening to this album and it is still a fresh, new experience, still, DEEP grooves in my brain ...
This album has come a long way with me. It played on loop for me all through high school. It was the first music I played for my first son when he was first born. It was the soundtrack to the acid trip that lead to me getting into my most lucrative career path, and then the soundtrack to the trip that showed me I had to leave that company and change fields entirely. I was listening to this today while watching my youngest son playing in the yard, exploring the flowers in the grass. This is what living sounds and feels like. Not existing, living a life full of journeys, and wonderful things, and turmoil, and love, and all of the emotions that make life worth seeing out. It reminds me about all of the things in the world that truly matter and allows me to simply ignore everything that doesn't. Heavy.
Sheeessh
I'm interested, tell me more about what careers this got you into!
True buddy... Seems so much like how i feel too. 56 now and have been listening to this since i was 13 and i thank God/ Universe for this divine music that has been part of my everyday journey thru life!!
@@aymanfayad4171 I used to be an operation manager for a logistics company that I won't name, but the initials are F and E. After a couple years there my psyche had been completely shot, ever rising expectations, no qualifications of success, only failure states. I decided to start building houses, I now make slightly more an hour but lower take home, but that's because I'm no longer working 70-90 hour weeks and my mental stability is significantly improved, I no longer wake up in a bed filled with beer bottles most mornings, so that's at least a few steps the right direction, I'd say. Thanks for the questions and likes, I didn't think anyone would actually read my life story. It means a lot to me.
@@jaymenon8408 preach brother man
I'm 60 and have been listening to this album for the past 40 year's and will continue to do so always... Timeless music..
Ur absolutely spot on
Likewise and I’m 64
Yes same and I am 60 too. Amazing album I never tire of it.
60 in 4 months - Same.
Got to see Roger Waters in Perth, W.A. on the 9th of Feb 2007. Had the sweet spot in front of the mixing desk.
THE loudest, clearest and BEST concert i have EVER been to. Still brings a smile to my face. Best music EVER!
Me too, brother. I'm 62. Same relationshipw with this great music
There is only one music in the world that pushes all the buttons, Dark side of the moon.
And when the music starts you are overwhelmed and powerless....in delirious bliss.
Lucas Reta
Timeless masterpiece
It brings tears to my eyes. Everyone has their memories of the times spent listening to this music.unforgettable. Music is a gift.
Back to the grind ,money.....
Clare Torry's performance will always be the best in rock History, so extremely expressive and the best of this album. She nailed it forever.
Just gonna say one thing, she nailed it on the first take! The first take!!
@@brianhickman6315 Absolutely brilliant performance!
Clare sued EMI and PF for songwriting credit and the case was settled out of court in 2004. Since then she has received (rightfully so, IMHO) a songwriting credit as co-writer with Rick Wright.
@@skysailor22630 I've never heard this before. If true, this is quite interesting.
@@brianhickman6315 так и есть.
Hi I just turn 63 yesterday I love the Album.
I was in high school when this album came out. There is no band that holds a key to pink Floyd! Their music will live forever. How blessed was I to listen to pink Floyd. I feel sorry for those that have never heard them. My 3 grown sons love pink Floyd!!!❤
!
My father introduced me to the album! Still going strong at 93! Thank you, Papa!
I'll be 50 in June so I've never known a world without these songs and yet listening beginning to end, the last 90 seconds of Eclipse gave me straight cold chills top to bottom. This is as high as high art can get. To remain evocative after the most media-stimulated 50 years on this planet is a true testament to a perfect band.
RIP Richard Wright, you were a master.
I grew up with amazing music in the 60-70 s, but Pink Floyd really gets in my heart and soul. Thank you guys for all of this wonderment❤❤❤
