Their basement was very cool and dimly lit. Listened to the whole album with a girl that I wanted to be more than a family friend. That didn’t happen but I did hear the album in the very best setting with someone I cared very much about.

The first time i heard this album I was maybe 9 years old, visiting an uncle in rural Idaho in the late 70s. He was very conservative as was my whole family, but he took us downstairs to the large family room where they had a pool table, had us all sit down, and said he wanted to show off his new stereo. And he put on this album. As a kid from a family who didn't listen to a lot of music, it blew my mind. He was a rancher and a great guy, and it was interesting to discover that despite how religious he was, he's be out driving a combine or checking on cattle and listening to Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd or Cyndi Lauper. He passed too young from cancer, but the memories of moments like that will always be with me. Thanks for the reaction.

66 yr old man here, I first heard this album 51 years ago and fell hopelessly in love with it! The very first record I ever heard on stereo cans and was blown away by the way sounds swept from side to side. You have to think of each side as single tracks with several parts, each so-called song just melts in to the next. Interestingly in 1973 my mother (mid-forties), left work one day saying to her younger colleagues (Twenties) "I'm going home to listen to DSoM." Their jaws hit the floor. Yes! She loved this album too. Bless her!

I grew up with the biggest rock and pop bands, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Grand Funk Railroad, Credence Clearwater Revival and many others, but when I heard Pink Floyd a path opened up that I didn't know existed. At the same time I understood that this band did not compose songs or albums. Oh no, they composed an existential compendium that had the purpose of shaking you, of confronting you and everything in this world. All a philosophy of life. Their music and lyrics are current, fresh, powerful, as if they had been composed yesterday. The best definition of a classic masterpiece. They live forever and get better every day.

About Pink Floyd : There are 4 albums that really should be treated as one long song, and listened to from first track to last with the only pauses being (in old times) when you were flipping the album over. Most reactors have split side one and side two, some have done the whole album one take. These albums are Dark Side Of The Moon (73), Wish You Were Here (75), Animals (77) and The Wall (79). When listening to the VINYL versions, there is NO break between songs, last note of a song is first note of next song. Unfortunately, cds FORCE a break so that the laser can find the track!! So if you listen to those albums, as albums, make sure to listen to VINYL versions to get the full effect.

Love this song, iconic Pink Floyd instrumentals and harmonized lyrics. The sparse lyrics and instruments seem to speak volumes. Yes, while it is a song about war, it also speaks to inequality, greed, want, and callousness as causes of conflict in the verses after the saxophone solo. " Down and out It can't be helped, but there's a lot of it about With, without And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about? Out of the way, It's a busy day I've got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died " For those non British folk who might not get the reference to 'Tea and a Slice' it is a cup of tea and a slice of bread with butter. As one responder to a message board stated about what these lyrics meant... " Tea and a slice in particular reminds me of George Orwell’s 'Down and Out in Paris and London.' It’s a semi-autobiographical account of Orwell’s time living in extreme poverty in the 1930’s. In the London section of the book tea and a slice is what Orwell was getting by on as the cheapest food option available. Café’s would serve tea and a slice of bread as the cheapest thing on the menu. The slice would have margarine on it. In the context of the lyrics it does seem to be referring to tea and a slice as the cheapest thing you could eat to survive which fits with Orwell’s writings and would suggest the slice in question is bread. " Full Lyrics: [Verse 1] Us, and them And after all, we're only ordinary men Me, and you God only knows it's not what we would choose to do [Chorus] "Forward!" he cried from the rear And the front rank died The general sat, and the lines on the map Moved from side to side [Verse 2] Black and blue And who knows which is which, and who is who? Up and down And in the end, it's only round and round, and round [Chorus] "Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?" The poster bearer cried "Listen, son," said the man with the gun "There's room for you inside" [Interlude] "I mean, they're not gonna kill ya So like, if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock They won't do it again Dig it? I mean, he got off light 'Cause I could've given him a thrashing I only hit him once! It was only a difference of right and wrong, innit? But really, I mean good manners don't cost nothing, do they, eh?" [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 3] Down and out It can't be helped, but there's a lot of it about With, without And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about? [Chorus] Out of the way, It's a busy day I've got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died

It doesn’t really end abruptly. Each song blends into the other. If you listen, money bleeds into us and them, which then bleeds into an instrumental piece called any color you like. the abrupt ending of us and them is caused by someone editing out any color you like. Side one of the lp ends with the great gig in the sky. It doesn’t bleed into the next song, which is the first song on side 2 Money. The cool thing about this us and them is the beautiful calming music, contrasted with the lyrics about war. It truly is art, and still way ahead of its time.

They played the entire "Dark Side of the Moon" album at the PULSE concert

The band had much of the material being played since 1971, the set list on the album (there is material that didn't make the cut) was played on the DSoM tour with the first show in the US at Radio City Music Hall on March 17, 1971 using a 20 speaker quadraphonic system. The 1994 concert series was 'The Division Bell Tour.' 'Pulse' is the live album and film from performances recorded at Earl's Court London on that tour. "They first played the whole of The Dark Side of the Moon on 15 July at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, which was the first time since 1975 it was played." The next performance said to have the last half of the concert perform the entirety of DSoM as the final set was the October 14 1994 performance at Earl's Court London. DSoM is not part of the 'Pulse' album or film (I have it on DVD).

@@mvellis3863 Nice! I have the original Pulse 2 disc DVD set, no DSOTM on it. I see a deluxe set that does, as well as Blu-Ray 2019 remastered editions, and the LP box set. I need a Blu-Ray player!

One if not the greatest album I've ever listened to. I'm just a 29yr old dude from germany but my dad put it on the first time where I was just 5yrs old, since then Pink Floyd/ Led Zeppelin/ Black Sabbath are my absolute favorites - enjoy your time while listening to these legendary tracks. I'll just enjoy your reactions to them.

Pink Floyd is timeless. A million years after humanity is gone, if an alien race stumbled upon our burnt ruins and found a Pink Floyd album...

I've been listening to this song since it came out in 1974. One of my favorite songs still. The chorus explodes. The sax solo is one of the best. The piano (Rick Wright). Dave 's voice is so silky. I can say more...

Stacy, hello from the western suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota! Love the fact that you're loving Pink Floyd's music 🎶! Two other bands you might consider listening to are Electric Light Orchestra's work from the 1970's and Led Zeppelin.

Hi Stacey! Love your Pink Floyd reactions....true honest feelings and emotions that are so relatable since I think every fan of Pink Floyd has been exactly where you are with every listen. Hope you'll try some Renaissance next. Opening Out is a great song to start with. Much love from Sweden! You're doing something awesome here

I wandered into a local record shop in 1973 and bought my first record, music I had heard on the radio, ended up with the wrong album actually. I took it home and played it without knowing, but was blown away by what I heard. But, as the fellow below says, the best way, I discovered after listening in every way to these songs over 51 years, is to lie back put on the album (and, if I may say so, enjoy a little bit of mind-altering substances) and just go to places (in your mind) that you wouldn't believe in your thoughts and feelings. By the way, to understand the influence of war on the lyrics of Roger Waters, listen to Final Cut, and remember that he lost a Dad in World War 2 and watched as the Brits charged off to the Falklands War 40 years later. It is definitely a comment on whether we learn from our mistakes or not.

The spoken interludes were recordings of various people in and around the recording studio in response to Roger asking some leading questions. The "guy" you refer to was Roger "the hat" Manifold, a roadie. He was answering to.." when was the last time you were violent?". I'm old enough to remember the album's original release in 1973. It still sends chills down my spine. It's as near a perfect piece of music as is possible.
