40 years ago, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason released Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon..
Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” spent 741 weeks on the Billboard charts from 1973 to 1988 - Longer than any other album in history.
Roger Waters has requested everyone kick on Dark Side at 8:00pm ET (00:00 UTC), Tweet #DarkSide40, and enjoy! And it'll like.. totally turn the moon dark, man.
I remember that day. Actually, no I don't. I was heavily into the herbal supplements at the time, but I know that I listened to it on KSAN in San Francisco, who played the entire disc without interruption. They used to do things like that back in the day.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Yup. I went right out and bought the LP and the 8-track as soon as it came out.

Lp and cd here, time really flies...

At some point in the last 20 years, the left moved to the center, and the right moved into a mental institution
It still ranks right up there as one of the best rock and roll albums ever. IMHO, of course.

The only album better was by Slim Whitman.
They did that for my wife's 15th birthday? How nice of them! I'll make sure I tell her tomorrow.Originally Posted by W4GPL

Umm, no.
Unless we're being invaded by Martians. Then it's our secret weapon.

My friend got it and we listened to it all Saturday night over some vodka. He had dual Crown Amps and a 20 band stereo graphic equalizer into some good speakers. After dark while we listened on the 21st floor, the Bronx began to burn below us yet again.

Remember test records and alignment tapes? Dark Side made an excellent test record if you had good ears and knew what to listen for. That notion hit me when a friend played it for the first time on his premium system in a great acoustical environment and I noticed that opening heartbeat sounded like crap, also each woofer sounded different. (15" Altec-Lansings in sealed enclosures) The next day I brought over my HP 200D generator and fed them 20Hz at some decent volume while working a lit cigarette around the seams. Sure enough it blew around in a few places so we took the speakers out and sealed the seams from the inside with silicone bathtub caulk, problem solved. That reminds me, on a good system you can pick out several sloppy edit points on Great Gig In The Sky where they spliced three takes of Claire Torry's vocals together.
Oh, when da Bronx be burnin' open da window an' bree deep. It be da ganja mon, feelin' irie!
