This album was in the Billboard album chart for 741 weeks, from 1973 to 1988. All of the effects you hear were painstakingly done by hand. This isn't an album, it's a masterpiece; a journey of the soul to another realm.
And people are still buying it
Absolutely awesome reaction. The background visuals. The sparse comments, when delivered, in a very low calm Voice. One of the best reactions I have ever seen.
Wow, thank you!
I completely agree. One of the best reactors around!
You are a dude who knows how to listen to music!
At the very end, someone says "there is no dark side of the moon; matter of fact, it's all dark."
Never knew that. Quality :D
That was Roger Waters
Themes: conflict, greed, time, death, and mental illness.
Theme: life and death
I would add war
In the documentary about the making of “Dark Side of the Moon” they show Floyd interviewing the janitor of the studio they record in. Just a straight up old cockney fella. Probably one of my favorite rock doc ever. He is the voice that you hear over and over in the background.
It's actually several people, including some of their roadies. :)
The main voice has a Scottish accent that appears on many FP numbers.
Floyd it's the whole band. Not a single person .just sayind
...and the engineer was none other than Mr. Alan Parsons
Your listening to a cut together version of this album Bro :) If you listen to a clean recording of this album the transitions are totally seamless. Keep it up man. I really dig the introspective reactions.
Imagine this, STB... there was a time when these songs were on most every rock radio station.... not just this... the latest Pink Floyd, the latest Led Zeppelin, the latest Rush, the latest Yes, the latest Emerson Lake and Palmer... running out to the stores to grab those albums and listening to them like you are right now. And the sound engineer who produced 'Dark Side of the Moon' was a fellow by the name of Alan Parsons... My God, you haven't delved into the Alan Parsons Project yet...
It all changed because of the monopolizing nature of Clear Channel (the same company that owns all the highway billboards as well) they own the radio basically. They are also in charge of the production of today's "music".
Jennifer Mirra what music?
@Olde Dominion. This is the first album I ever bought. I saved up for half a year to buy an album and was going to get Abba or something on those lines, but just when I had the money saved this came out and I just had to have it. I was 11 yrs old. I remember waiting for Mom and Dad to leave the house so I could re-arrange the speakers so that they faced each other, grabbing a pillow, putting this album on my dads stereo, lying between the speakers and just zoning out. Now we have headphones (lol) and at 59 yrs old, I pretty much still do that, but now I do all three albums back to back to back. Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here and The Wall. Peace out dude.
As someone said, it’s a masterpiece& genius, PF will be listened to for generations to come like Mozart ❤
This album never ages .I was 16 when this came out . It still sells btw. Young people in their teens be they hip hop or metal think it was just dropped .
From Us and Them: ""I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won't do it again. Dig it?
I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"
Bravo for listening to the whole album.
My absolute fav of all time. I've listened to this album thousands of times and it still gives me the chills and makes me cry. I still listen to it the way I did as a teen. Headphones and loud.
I hope you liked it.
Once again a fifty year old album, what a pity we don’t see this sort of genius and indulgence today.
We do in my opinion. (Pink Floyd still is one of the greatest things, my ears have come to hear!)
@@oskarneftel3756 what album out today comes close to this?
@@Alfie02 I usually listen to a lot of HipHop and I’m not into music theory and stuff so I can’t talk too much about the musical aspects, but I think some albums like To pimp a butterfly or maybe even a my beautiful dark twisted fantasy come really close in my opinion. The musical aspects of DSOTM etc. are obviously a lot more impressive, but I think that a to pimp a butterfly is most definitely as perfect as the dark side of the moon.
I disagree. there are a lot of talented music producers that obviously dont have the same recognition as pink floyd, which is why it is unfair to state that our generation lacks this creativity and talent. If you look in the right places, you'd be surprised with how many crazy artists that are currently making music on pink floyds level, especially considering the technology we have nowadays and how it opens up that much more room for experimenting with different sounds. obviously pink floyd were revolutionary and creating music that was way ahead of their time, but that is still happening today, you just may not want to see it.
@@takenburls9498 BAck in the day, when PInk FLoyd created such wizardry music companies poured huge amounts of money into big selling artists. They expected returns on those investments, Steely Dan was another band that consumed vast amounts on production often to the tune of $1000,000. Music companies just don’t do that anymore. It’s a case of diminishing returns. That may change in the not to distant future,in that there is a trend building for music purchases. People want to have tangible copy and read their purchase, particularly vinyl, which is shocking the music industry, that pensioned off most of the vinyl facilities.
This album is a forest; each time you decide to go in, you know you're looking for something, and when you reach the other side, you have found it, and you are better for it. This album is a new life every time you listen, similar in experience, but entirely different.
Well said : )
I've watched a ton of reaction videos to The Dark side of the Moon. Many are impressed and seem to enjoy it but some of their interpretations are ridiculous. You, have an amazing ability to correctly hear a majority of the lyrics correctly the first time through and interpret them for what they mean. I'm impressed. Not your usual eyes closed listener with no substantial thoughts.
That "almost seamless' transition that you had mentioned is due to playing the entire album either directly off of CD or a recording of it, and there always seems to be a pause in the change of tracks. Based on the arrangement in the original vinyl medium, those transitions are *supposed* to be seamless... and it is a pity that the digital medium does not compensate for it.
You got that right! And DSOTM is NOT the only album that happened on either.
With a lot of digital playback software now, you can overlap tracks to make up for it. But folks have to manually set their software to do that, then change it back for whatever other music they're listening to.
Exactly, a proper copy, whether analogue OR digital should sound entirely seamless, and play as if it's all one track. There are countless lossless digital versions out there that easily rival analogue sound.
On Spotify it’s seamless luckily
Love that you re hearing DSOTM for the first time here....from now on until forever, every time you listen to it, you'll hear something new
"Craziness"? It's all our lives STB
This is an album about the things that stress you out, drive you mad, and what it feels like when you are.
The bit about "if the band you're in starts playing different tunes" was in reference to Syd Barrett's later experiences with Pink Floyd, before he left the group. He wasn't well, and sometimes when they started in on a song, he'd start playing something totally different.
It recently crossed 950 weeks. In another year, it'll be the first album to cross 1000. Truly legendary.
My favorite band of all time saw them 3 times In the 70’s heard them thousands of times and never ever do I get tired of hearing them it’s a strange thing
Same
Well, I have to thank you and I pray that all other Pink Floyd reactors will take note of you. I wish ALL Pink Floyd reactors would do album reactions instead of individual songs. It is a treat and blessing to see them reacted to the way they were meant to be experienced.
The third biggest selling album of all time and unlike many other big selling albums this one has never stopped being a big selling album and if your a first time listener its easy to see why, its just a really, really great album full of creativity with great lyrics and great instrumentals.
It wasn’t just about Sid Barrett. It was about you too. Run Rabbit Run.
I just shut my eyes and let the music envelope me. Beyond a classic.
I heard Roger Waters say the album, in general, is about the pressures of life.
So gorgeous. This takes me right back to the '70s again. This is how I first listened to the entire album; one sitting, beginning to end.
TDSOTM is about birth, life, and death. The Great Gig in the Sky (sung by Claire Torrey) is the four stages of grief.
You legendary ear man
Yeah, your reaction was really excellent.
IT'S CALLED A PINK FLOYD COMA❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
" SHINE ON CRAZY DIAMOND" WAS ALSO TRIBUTE TO SYD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
syd was so much of an inspiration that they often wrote about his situation.so much so that they continued to pay him AFTER the band moved on without him.
"Shine on You crazy Diamond" actually spells it out SYD!!!
he wore out his welcome with random precision.
Great reaction Brother. No one ever bought this album to take it home and play their 3-5 favorite songs...whenever one puts this album on it's played start to finish. 😊
JUST THE LAST SEGMENT IS ABOUT SYD, THEN IT ROLLS INTO THEIR NEXT ALBUM MASTERPIECE: WISH YOU WERE HERE! :)
Seeing Pink Floyd is an Experience and a Gift..Everyone should listen to this Masterpiece at least once!!! Thank you Soul Train Bro 😊🙏🏻✌
Seen the group in 92, seen Roger 2 other times and David once more. Separate or together, it's a life changing experience each time. Gods cure for chaos, sounds a little chaotic.
Please React To "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" For An Intro Sir,I Think You Get It
This was a song about their friend Sid who did go abit nuts after he founded Pink Floid. Wish you were here is also about Sid!!! I love your beautiful space background it is perfect for this music!
Omg I'm so glad to see you back with Pink Floyd,that was great and your awesome. I saw you were doing animals so now I'm off to check it out...♡
17:48 Seamless transitions. The "almost" is due to the fact you've listened to this album probably in mp3 format, with separate files for the songs. In the original vinyl and CD editions, the songs flows without the slightest clue of when one ends and another begins.
That said, you're the best reactor of classic rock I've ever seen! Calm and insightful. Good work bro!
Bro - I am loving your delivery. Excellent review. Much of early Floyd is colored by the gradual madness that overtook their original bandmember and friend Syd Barrett and how it affected each band member. - Shine On You Crazy Diamond is his opus
A TRUE MASTERPIECE. ONE OF
THE BEST SELLING ALBUMS OF
ALL TIME!
Great reaction! Enjoyed it.
To the uploader, Wish You Were Here - IMO Floyd's other possibly best ever album - was their clear tribute to Syd Barrett but I've never considered this in that way also. In one listen you've got me thinking deeper than I ever did about it. Cheers for that.
LOL LOL you're not a journey if you're not looking you won't know where you are LOL I love it
You do it right. I'm all in. Thank you
So pleased you got it. If you listen again do it from start to finish it just gets better and better.
Your really brilliant, you read so much more into it on your first time it is genius to see sombody decode and understand that alumb so fast. Im glad you found it trippy I think we all went on that trip our first time hearing, on the dark side of the moon.
Great review Bro
Your summing up at the end gave me goosebumps ✌️
Regarding the connection you mentioned between the band members I think you have to remember that back then there was a lot of drugs being used.
Altered states of consciousness, whether induced by plants, mushrooms, lab produced chemicals, dancing, chanting or self flagellation have been used for millennia to inspire and connect to the universal well of creativity. I was a part of a dance scene called acid house. It was a movement associated with drug use and I can testify that the connection we all had was incredible. The scene, the music that was produced was absolutely incredible, and I don't think it would have been anywhere near as inspired or connected without what western scientific culture has negatively labelled drugs.
Great reaction. What blows me away is that these guys were in their 20s when they put together such deep album that rings true to everyone.
Really enjoyed both of your reaction videos and your commentary. Very well done. Dark Side IMHO is one of the best produced concept albums to this point. Genius. Timeless themes set to music.
Couldn't agree more
Good review. I wish i had The dark side of the moon signed! Time is my favourite song on it. Masterpiece.
great album - great react - thanks for this
STB , you should have more subs! you are by far the best musical reactionist ! Just subbed and liked myself now .
Thanks for the sub!
Yes it's about Syd Barrett and how he went insane. If you listen to the song Shine on you Crazy Diamond. S-hine on Y- out crazy D-iamond. See how the capital letters spell out Syd. That song is dedicated to him. Most songs and albums have been influenced by the life and death of Sydney. Great review.
I bought this album when I was 14 I used to listen to it on my Dads old fashion HiFi stereo. I'd lay on the floor with a speaker on each side of my head. Changed my life! Also made me get my first great stereo. Thanks for taking me down memory lane.
Awesome review, Alan Parsons "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" an absolute must for all progressive rock listeners! Please do.
Yes... one person's journey... yOURS, Mine, His, Hers....open your mind
Never could get into these cats but I like your reactions / critiques. I could never sit still through DSOTM, kudos to you !
Dark Side Of The Moon's theme is life - not anyone's specifically, even though Brian Damage was influenced by their experience with Syd. Wish You Were Here - specifically Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts I - IX - was their tribute to Syd, although the album's overall theme is absence.
Another great reaction, thank you
U can sync it up with the wizard of oz movie
U can google info,u start audio on second lion roar i think?
They say they had no idea,but i'm not sure!
Dan Cotton we did this as kids in the 90’s after getting the protocol from someone’s parents. Things synch up oddly perfectly, especially how “Money” comes on exactly when the movie switches to Technicolor.
To me I believe you're half right it's not about Sid Barrett it's about how easily life can take any one of us and it all depends on how you handle the trip
Just discovred you today. Love your reaction. Nice to see someone who listens and actually tries to understand this incredible band. No theatrics, no drinks, no cigarettes, no screams, no stopping.
First of all I love your reactions and your genuine assessment. Your insight into the concept is very well thought out and when you mentioned that you believe it is basically a story of one man’s dissent into madness the former founding members Syd Barrett You are correct to a certain degree but it’s also meant to be about everybody’s life in general and the frustrations that we all experience as the song titles themselves suggest breeze on the run time I send them great gig in the sky and brain damage. Most of these things are universal that we all experience and of course the original band member who had too much LSD combined with mental illness it was even more so for him
It's the perfect balance between creativity and execution
I'm pretty sure that all of the "background voices" was just those of the janitor of the studio. They asked him questions and recorded his responses. That is who you hear throughout the album.
This album has been seriously remastered and available on virgin vinyl. All those little effects voices are now crystal clear. The whole album is analogue warm and intricately alive, it really is a revelation.
Nicely timed background change to fit the lyrics at 19:14
Great review. I dont think this was specifically about Syd Barret, but his story definitely is among the inspirations. Wish You Were Here directly addresses him, and I'm anxious to see your reaction to that.
It's in my Floyd Playlist.
Any colour you like is by far my fave tune on the album. The live version is so great.
“There’s no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact it is all dark.”
Good word.
You may find that "cerebral" is also applicable to Pink Floyd's album "The Wall." The entire album is another story about a person, it's not just the song "Comfortably Numb"; but that song is fully emblematic of the central character's struggles with his life, a life that other people created to a degree.
Greatest Album in history
Great job on your very thorough research on Pink Floyd, my friend.
Thank you kindly!
YEAH WAYNE, PRETTY CRAZY HUH? :) THE TRANSITIONS ARE PRETTY IMPECCABLE FOR SURE!
I need to find it on vinyl again I lost my original one in moving
Dude, seriously love that you did this. Don’t feel bad I grew up on Pink Floyd and didn’t grasp the depth of this album until I was probably 17. This album isn’t about a specific person and yet it also is. The reason it’s deeply relatable to anyone who hears it is that it‘s based on living in a reality based solely on personal perception and the eventuality of the experience that perception brings. We all have one thing in common for sure and this album speaks from that understanding instead of trying to speak from personal perspective. Us and Them brings to light the fact that war is a major part of our experience every day. War is a mentality in that there is an us and a them and we are at odds somehow even though we also know we are all only ordinary men. The mentality of war is a pillar of our mind structure from the first time we witness conflict and then witness how society excepts it as inherent and learn the rules and expectations of “inescapable” conflict. This song cuts through that lens however and speaks to the redundant and illogical nature of the very concept. It’s basically yin and yang in that there appears to be conflict but in fact without yin there is no yang so it’s not conflict it’s balance and balance is the only thing that’s truly inherent to existence, again because without balance there is no existence. Time is about death and moreover fear and acceptance of death and how we perceive it but that theme is continuous through the album because that fear and acceptance is continuous in life. Since life is a product of time and time is always moving or changing that existing in it demands we move and change as well. We ebb and flow through levels of fear and acceptance by nature. Nobody ever stays the same forever because if they could do that they would exist outside of time and hence not exist at all. This album represents basically what it means to be human in its most basic form in this society. The reason the girls voice in great gig in the sky has no specific direction is that it represents emotion incarnate. Without one emotion there is not the other. A person who doesn’t know sadness can’t know happiness and in this way all emotions exist like colors on a wheel in all they’re various spectrums and combinations to form different colors and spectrums of those colors. There is no good or bad just scales of possibility and the eventuality of existence. When he refers to the lunatic he’s speaking of the part of all of us which is not the sane part which must exist at least potentially in order to differentiate and confirm sanity. That the world is by nature insane because it exists without understanding these basic concepts of fear, time, war, death, and how they transcend otherness. This is why geniuses are always depressed because anyone who works hard enough on understanding eventually has to see and face this state of existence. The dark side of the moon is a metaphor for those people that understand and exist inside the reality that anyone who doesn’t would call mystery or magic. Separated but still always there, never truly being seen by the people on earth while knowing that they know and you know that you exist. Grasping the concepts in this album is close to what I imagine being enlightened is roughly understood to be ironically. It’s ironic because belief in any institution like Buddhism for example automatically sets the expectation of attaining this understanding as spiritual or beyond the ability of the average person like magic. Hence: “the tolling of the iron bell calls the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spells.” These “faithful” are the people who justify war, elevate the importance of financial wealth (money), and deny the acceptance of fear of death based on the boundaries they have been passively taught are not passable. The irony is once you truly understand it you realize it’s not on purpose that this is how it is because it’s just not even understood by the vast majority of people specifically people who are motivated by the perception of money and power that end up becoming our “leaders”. People become what they think the he ought to and we’re taught to. Free will gives us the ability to break the cycle at any time but there’s little reason in this world to be motivated to do so so most don’t. Again the irony is a man like Dr. King used this very understanding to literally change the world for what I think we can all agree is for the very best. Meaning he did better at the game of life than any power hungry individual even though that’s what they claim motivates them - changing the world for the best. It’s worthwhile. We gotta keep listening brother and stop waiting for someone or something to show us the way.
Birth, life and death. Earthly preoccupations like money and mental illness.
Alan Parsons is a must! Start with Tales of Mystery and Imagination.
This album isn't really about Syd, though Brain Damage definitely has references. It's a philosophical look at the life of the 'everyman'. Their next album, 'Wish You Were Here' is centred on Syd but not entirely. Tbh, even those Floydsongs that have a deeply personal element, or which appear to be about something very specific, also nearly always address the 'everyman' too. They're a very humanistic and philosophical group. :)
This album was also a big go-to disc to be played on a new stereo system to test out the sound quality. Along with Steely Dan 's Aja and later, the Joshua Tree by U2
It's leading you to yourself like I said funniest part is just looking at your own windows
Short, sharp, shock!
-Us and Them
Undiagnosed Schitzophrenic at that time...got into drugs etc.
It's supposed to be, and it is, a seamless transition. Unfortunately some software used to extract songs from a CD will insert a half-second of silence between tracks.That's not meant to be.
This whole album was set up years before. The band played different pieces in live shows to get a reaction from fans while they were finalizing how they were going to record it. They purposely linked every song to make it more of an interupted journey and when and if radio station played this album it made it hard for them to stop a particular song. So in esssance 2 songs would get the aie play ...
"Wish you were here" was written about the loss of Syd Barret, hence the title.
Hey STB you should try this album from the pulse concert. It's in 4K and unbelievable. It will blow your mind even more. Thanks for the reactions. Keep up the good work.
In the 70s I used to smoke a "doobie" stick my head between 2 speakers and listen to this album
FLOYD tends to do that, make you feel like you're traveling out of your body😅😊
YOU COULD SAY THAT THE WAY IT PLAYS OUT WAYNE BUT NO NOT REALLY, WISH YOU WERE HERE IS COMPLETELYYYY ABOUT AND DEDICATED TO ( SYD BARRETT ) :) R.I.P. TO SYD
Are you a late-night radio host? If not, you should!
They defied the odds and made such an outstanding album that i don't think it's been matched since.
And the funniest part is you're looking out your own windows think about it
The record executives always wanted short 3 minute singles. Pink Floyd and other top bands of the era rebelled, and pressed demands on the labels. Yes did CttE, with an 18+ minute song, and Led Zeppelin was probably the first that started making the label pay for their fancy sleeves. By the 1980's, the industry got the bands back under control, and has been declining ever since. Good doesn't overcome evil. Evil destroys everything, including itself.
Time is a self-explanatory concept, Great Gig in the Sky is first the denial of death, then the acceptance. And that was Clare Torrey, she has a great video interview about doing Great Gig.
Almost all Pink Floyd albums were 'concept' albums, which were meant to be listened to in one sitting. You have done DSOTM (1973) as should be, you mentioned Wish You Were Here (1975), there is Animals (1977) which deals with one concept as well, The Wall (1979) also does, and is a double album to boot. Obscured by Clouds (1972) is the sound track to a movie and totally overlooked because it came out right before Dark Side. Interesting note about Dark Side : Somebody back in the 80's or 90's I think, mentioned over a radio station in Boston? that if you cued up Dark Side of the Moon, and the original movie Wizard of Oz, it is if the album is in perfect sync with the movie, like when it changes from black and white to colour, is the exact moment that Money starts, and many others I can't remember now. I would have to look it up. Anyways, when it told over the air, there was a rush of people that went to rent the movie (something people did back then), and I am sure everybody was also digging out their copies of DSOTM.
I can finally listen to Money again, it got so overplayed here (Montreal, Canada), sometimes I would hear it on the radio 7 or 8 times a day, and if I played the album at home, I would actually skip Money. Did that for over a decade!
If you want a suggestion for Alan Parsons Project, please do side 1 of Tales of Mystery and Imagination, and I would do the 1987 Remix, because when he re-did it, boy oh boy did he ever add a bunch of amazing stuff! The album is based on tales from Edgar Allen Poe.
And last, you have the right idea. Do your first reaction without the doobie. The NEXT time you listen to it though......
Just realized, sorry for the long comment!
There is a series available called “Classic Albums” and Dark Side of the Moon is one of them. It is mandatory viewing. Allan Parsons was the Audio Engineer and this the first album to have sampler/synthesiser . The cash register and money sounds were 5 recorded samples cut together on a 12 foot loop of 2 inch tape. It was so long it ran across the room and looped off a vertical chrome rod as they recorded the effect. In those days there were no Pro Tools or cut and paste. You just did it till you got it right.
You can't hear it all the album but it's all the way through the whole album
