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

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

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

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

In fact, I feel that making that statement, unduly and ineptly, diminishes the rest of the album. Sure: a given person can "have favorites" (although, personally, I could never understand that!🤷🤷), however: in truth? if one is not valuing the entire album, they are missing the point. ...plus: things, naturally, have a different degree and/or value of: impact (emotional and otherwise!) given: personal experiences, understandings and: simply "the day" -on any given one! 🤷🤷 That is the natural and most universal response and experience! 🤷

“This is so futuristic” … imagine how it sounded back in ‘73? I used to call it the sound effects album, I was about 12 at the time. I’m 61 now and I’m still listening to it.

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

I first heard this as a teenager, I just turned 70 years old and still love it! (Just need to turn it up a bit louder!)

The woman doing vocals in Great Gig in the Sky is Venetta Fields. Venetta Fields was also backing vocals for John Farnham. Listen to her singing Amazing Grace with Farnham. It will blow you away.

Glad you liked it. Pink Floyd aren't just a band. Pink Floyd are an experience.

"Fond memories for me. I was in my 20's in the 70's, and now I'm in my 70's in the 20's! " Yeah... "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish you were here" remain (for me) absolutely magical. Heh. Can't believe I never noticed the 70s/20s and 20s/70s inversion before. Nice catch. lol

First time I heard this album with my girlfriend she melted into my arms and every lyric was about us. That memory is more than 50 years old.

I've loved this album for 50+ years. This is the first time I've ever really followed along closely with the lyrics. Chilling and amazing. Thanks for letting me hear this again for the first time.

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

You move your hips you shake your head, trying to catch the beat to dance too because that’s what you’re used to and you finally close your eyes and let your brain take over the way it is supposed to

Chère Mary, j'ai 67 ans et j'ai écouté le Dark Side Of Moon quelques semaines après sa sortie, voilà donc plus de 50ans ! Je jure sur ma vie que je ressent encore aujourd'hui l'effet produit sur la petite personne que j'était alors. Je me souvient le temps qu'il faisait et l'endroit où j'étais ainsi que la personne qui était avec moi ! J'écoute la musique des Pink Floyd aussi souvent que possible 😛😛😛😛😛😛😛
