Reacting To - Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (Completely FRIED)

[@DannyD714]

listening start to finish is the only way to go with pink floyd albums. good job!

[@FlowerSupply420]

When you said “I gotta take a walk, I’m too fried for this gang” I genuinely teared up. We’ve all been there man. It’s beautiful. Godly music.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

I know how you feel right now - just like everyone else listening to dark side for the first time. What?😊

[@robertcurl1160]

I have not smoked or done drugs in 20 plus years due to my occupation but at 52, Pink Floyd is my drug and it brings joy to my heart seeing a younger generation experience what is greatness! Welcome to the Pink Floyd family

[@hnasvyb7876]

pink floyd is my drug too😊 I haven’t done drugs in 17 years! ( i’m 17… )

[@copperhopperwarren4788]

Dark Side of the Moon is certified 14x platinum in the UK & topped the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart, where it stayed for 990 weeks (19 YEARS!)

[@detroitlady7201]

And still sells 3000 to 9000 albums a week!

[@scottrsmith2389]

I love watching people listen to Pink Floyd for the first time. I wish I could hear them again for the first time. You did it right. Listen to the studio album in its entirety, with only occasional pauses. Later, you can listen to live versions. They are fun, too, to see all the light show and the psychedelic stage show, and to see how relatively simply they are playing stuff that sounds so incredibly complex. But start with full studio albums, and don't pause constantly. You did it right. Now go back and listen again without the camera, lights lowered, and with the lyrics in front of you. Just for you. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed that.

[@johnculver1951]

So good to see you smoking a joint to this, the only way to experience your first listen.

[@phillace]

there is a good reason why this album is considered the greatest album ever produced , it really is a masterpiece .

[@spadams999]

Here's some advice from an OLD guy. I've been listening to this album for over 50 years. You need to listen to this alone. Headphones. Eyes closed.

[@pegasus5287]

Preferrably under a dark night sky

[@lck1225]

Next Pink Floyd album should be Wish You Were Here

[@KezzyBoii]

Will do 💪🏾💪🏾

[@philshorten3221]

The album "Wish You Were Here" not the single track. The album is beautiful and dedicated to Syd Barrett, founding band member who had dropped out of the band a few years earlier suffering severe mental health issues and the effects of drug abuse. Syd was dearly loved and album celebrates his genius while mourning the fact he's no longer in the band. During recording a bald fat man with shaved off eyebrows walked into the recording studio. it took several minutes before they realised this was their old dear friend Syd. Roger Waters broke down and cried when he realised what Syd had become.

[@valsir4942]

[@lynette.]

Now you know why this is the greatest album of all time. Life in an album.

[@Rolling_Ronnie]

Clare Torry was paid a single session to record the vocal on 'Great Gig In The Sky' She was just told what the concept was (the five stages of death, Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance). She improvised it from scratch in 2 1/2 takes.

[@curtadams7406]

It's always fun to watch someone experience the best album ever for the first time. For your own enjoyment you should read the lyrics, and then listen to the whole album again. You will appreciate it even more!

[@patrickwilder6492]

You just heard the best band, hands down, in the last 50+ years. This album spent years in the top 100 and David Gilmore on guitar, is considered to be the best, by the best. ❤❤

[@THXbox]

After more than thirty years, the transition from the intro to the first chords of Breathe, still gives me goosebumps from time to time.

[@garymoore4909]

triangle on the cover is a prism, a piece of glass that splits light passing through into different colors. i can only imagine what a trip it must be, hearing Time, Us and Them, and Brain Damage/Eclipse for the first time while blazed. i've been listening to them for decades and they still surprise me.

[@Freedom_Half_Off]

i made sure to check ... glad someone started the explanation ... the themes do go deeper ... In Lord of the Rings , Saruman The White became Saruman the Many Colored ... while Gandlaf the Gray became Gandalf the White . All of those elements were obviously there from the beginning . But you might need a prism to see them 👀

[@martinellis7156]

The "Pulse" concert from 1994 is considered one of the greatest live musical experiences ever. My favourite is "Keep Talking", but the whole concert is a mind blow.

[@noteverton]

The woman singing is Clare Torry. She was told to just go with what she felt. She did that in one take.

[@KezzyBoii]

That’s impressive 💯💯

[@caryd67]

@@KezzyBoii The story goes that she was fast asleep in bed when she got the call to do the gig. She showed to the studio up in the middle of the night in her pajamas, did the gig, and they paid her a measly $50. Ironic how the song following her performance is about Money.

[@paulwhite7972]

She actually did a few takes and they edited them together to gat that fantastic final result. But she did just improvise all of it off the top of her head. She was also given a writing credit for the song in 2004 after a legal challenge having been paid £30 for her contribution when it was recorded.

[@mikefisher5005]

​@caryd67 I think she finally got more $ after a lawsuit. Sad they treated her badly.

[@mikefetterman6782]

It's called the "Gilmour effect". The whole point of their music is to take you away. You can be "un-stoned" and this music will take you there anyway. They are the masters of psychedelic rock. Their first album was being recorded right next door to the Beatles recording Sgt. Pepper, so they were always surrounded by good people and luck in the beginning. Their band founder and leader ,Syd Barrett, by 1969 had slipped into mental oblivion from mental issues and continuous high doses of LSD. He wandered out of the band, and replaced by school mate and friend, David Gilmour on lead guitar and about half the vocals. His solos, which he composes by singing them first without the guitar, then applying that to the strings. That comforting style, draws people in and puts you on his same "wave length".

[@cybister4864]

Fantastic, authentic reaction to DSOTM. This is why I watch reactions. You get it.

[@spruce381]

Dead right ❤

[@geraldherrmann787]

Pink Floyd ... in 1964 a few people came together in England ... like the biggest lottery win in history. Widely considered the greatest band of all time, definitve the biggest Live-band of all time, David Gilmour often considered the greatest guitarist of all time. And this album is the fourth best selling album of all time in music-history. Gilmour, aged 78, is touring the U.S. right now with a brandnew album plus Floyd-standards. Next week - first week of November 2024 - he´s in New York, five times Madison Square Garden, sold out.

Us and Them, hands down the most beautiful protest song ever composed. Rick's progressions on the keys shouldn't work, but he made it do so brilliantly.

[@fel24thecat]

Every single chord in the progression has a D in it, I’ve never seen that ever in my whole life

[@EileenParise]

Great reaction! I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan for over 50 years, there is no other band out there that compares, David Gilmore can bring you to tears with his solos

[@cosmocassidy420]

That's why Darkside of the moon spent 18 and a half years on the top 100 albums in the country for billboards. It is easily in the top 3 albums of all time and might be #1. I know it's #1 to me but it's all to taste. I think you will love "the wall" but you don't need to game up for the wall. It's plenty by itself lol

[@jonhenke1504]

Just think about us back in 1973 when we first put this on, put on a set of headphones and didn't know what to expect!! By the time this album was finished you walked out of the room a different person!!! I mean back in 1973 in analog land nobody expected or could be prepared for something like this!!! A lot of people say things are life-changing and it doesn't mean that much but this album really is life-changing if you've never heard anything like it before!! Check out some of their stuff live from the 1994 Pulse concert and you'll see just how incredible they actually are!!!!

[@raymondmanderville505]

I met my future wife at my friends house , she was 16 & I was 17 . She had brought over Dark Side of the Moon , I had already heard of them over a nearby college radio station , which always played the most cutting edge music . She was with me until 09 when she passed away . Hearing this album always takes me back to that day like it was yesterday .

[@scozz6139]

Even David Gilmour (guitar/most of vocals) said that be only wished he could have just heard this for the first time. Of course he head it as he was helping make it so that magic was lost. You hearing it for the first time and we got to watch was PRICELESS BRAH!!!!!!

[@Scottracine68]

This is the way this album should be listened to, front to back in a comfortable setting. There is a lot to unpack as the album unfolds and adds layers on top of the passages before them. If you are going to kill an hour cleaning the house this is a go to for me to pass the "Time" productively.

[@samanthahadwin]

[@DUGGER1947]

Pink Floyd is most definitely a band, and not a person. Lead guitar & most the lead vocals done by David Gilmour. Bass guitar and lead vocals on "Brain Damage" is Roger Waters. Keyboardist is Richard "Rick" Wright. Percussionist/drummer is Nick Mason. Saxophonist is Dick Parry. Various female background singers are also used, most notably Clare Torry, who sang the iconic solo on the song "The Great Gig in the Sky." Album recording engineer was Alan Parsons, whose contributions to this album cannot be overstated.

[@mikefisher5005]

Alan Parsons made a few good albums himself

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

They were a British band formed in 1965: Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright (earlier Syd Barrett). Great to see young people appreciating the music we grew up on. Pink Floyd is untouchable. David Gilmour on guitar, Dick Parry on sax. Also, people at the recording studio were asked random questions and they answered them; that was the people you hear talking in the songs. btw, I like the message on your t-shirt!

[@flubblert]

One of the deepest darkest and most influential bands of all time. This, and the next three albums are all considered masterpieces in Rock. No one else sounds like Pink Floyd. The concepts, compositions, production and lyrics are surpassed only by the brilliant musicianship of all involved. Shout out David Gilmour vocals and lead guitar, Richard Wright keyboards and synths, Roger Waters vocals, brilliant lyricist and bass, and Nick Mason drums. Check out "Wish You Were Here" by them next. Either the title track, or preferably, the complete album as you did here. But maybe not necessary to get quite as baked next time. 😏 Good job!! 🤟👍

[@ZacharyBell-x1j]

New sub here, a very genuine reaction! I believe you started off right by listening to the dark side first. It’s the first of the “big 4” albums from them. Each of these albums is a concept album meaning the album tells a story and each song is like a chapter of that story. I believe you should continue going in order of the “big 4”. The next in order is Wish you Were here, followed by Animals, followed by The Wall. All of them masterpieces. I’ll watch every reaction. You do it the right way.

[@syzygy21055]

I've been listening to this album for over 50 years and I love it now more than ever. Great seeing younger people discover and appreciate the soundtrack of my life. Next up: the album Wish You Were Here , the one that followed this one. I promise it will take you to a whole other place. For live stuff, anything from the 1994 Pulse concert. Maybe the best live rock concert ever performed. You can't go wrong with Pink Floyd. It's all totally unique and it's all great. There's Pink Floyd and then there's all the other music.

[@Hippie_Heart_420]

There isn't a band out there that can make you "feel" more than Pink Floyd. David's guitars and vocals with Roger's lyrics are simply beautiful. I can't leave out Richards keyboards and Nick's drums to complete the ensemble. Been my favorite band and album since 1973 when I bought this album when it was released. It is so fun to watch others discover it for the first time since I cannot experience that again.

And the lady singer on TGGITS - was the astonishing Clare Torry BTW many many other excellent 70s bands competing; PF always that bit better but Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, ELP, ELO and many more worth looking into.
