Turns 50 today. Released 3.1.73. Couldn't walk through a dorm at USC without hearing it. Part of the good times.
OT: Dark Side of the Moon
- Thread starter Spinal Tap
- Start date
This album spent 18 years on the billboard top 200. An all-time record. Saw them live on the Division Bell tour in '94 . . . unbelievable! I'll never forget it.
They used to play Dark SIde at the planetarium for the night show, dim the lights, and project a star studded sky that slowly circulated ,as if you were traveling within your own spacecraft .
Totally Awesome.
Totally Awesome.
My 21 year old daughter got a turntable this past christmas. This is one of the first albums she bought. One the one hand, I'm very proud. On the other, a little concerned. Lol
I was late to this game but bought the Mobile Fidelity copy of "Dark Side" in 1980 and was immediately immersed in its brilliance.
Who all went to see Pink Floyd when they played at Clemson? I went, I think maybe it was 1994? Great Time!

Great Choice.
At the time Mobile Fidelity was an audiophiles dream
Really a shame about the MoFi catalog since 2011 and ensuing lawsuit.
I am so old I caught that tour in Charlotte in 73!
DSOTM is a great album. But Wish You Were Here is a better album.
Wish You Were Here is also a great album.
Released 9.12.75 in the US, so make a note, write that down. 50th anniversary ahead!
My all time favorite Pink Floyd song came from neither...DSOTM is a great album. But Wish You Were Here is a better album.
93 & it was the last time I was in attendance at Pickens county municipal stadium

Bought the album shortly after it came out. May have partaken in some left handed tobacco while listening to “Dark Side of The Moon”???? I have about half of the album on one of my Spotify Playlists. Classic stuff, from a very, very talented group, albeit fractured and at odds much of the time. Shame, there’s no love lost between a few members, for decades now.
