40 years ago...Pink Floyd's....

[Wire Dawg]

The Dark Side Of The Moon was released. 3rd best selling album ever & the one that gets the woofers on my Klipsch Fortes dusted out every time. Will be getting AK's crossovers to revive the speakers and celebrate Dark Side's anniversary with a tall glass of lemonade, even though I'm shorter of breath and one day closer to death. It defines my generation: 50+ years have gone behind me...no one told me when to run...I missed the starting gun

Strange list.

Dark Side Of The Moon is my "Classic Rock", one hell of an album for the long lonely roads at night.

I'm more of the #2 on the list generation. Still getting a bit shocked to hear it called Classic Rock.

I think it was in 93 or 94 when I saw Floyd in Columbus, Ohio. Decent show. Our seats were crappy, but good show nonetheless. I believe it was the Division Bell tour. I remember seeing like 40-50 trucks carrying their set. Buckeye Stadium was packed to the hilt. I was still in a haze, so memory is vague.

My kids want me to take them to see Pink next time she's close. I think I'll find them a suitable chaperone while I wait in my car, whip out my harp and jam to Grand Funk.

I had this album back in the 80's Ilistened to: A Momentary Lapse of Reason album. I remember playing it on the way back from the beach. I had joined up with my brother's family at the beach. My niece rode with me coming back from the beach and started crying when I played Pink Floyd. Everyone had to stop and do a passenger transfer. Aggressive rock was my choice for music back in the 70's. nowadays I listen to Holy Spirit inspired music.

there is no dark side in the moon, really. As a matter of fact it's all dark

It has been there a long time.

I've always enjoyed the clarity and special effects pioneered by Pink Floyd thru a Carver Sonic Hologram. Pink moments embedded in my brain include the "egg fry" from Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast (Atom Heart Mother). It was like an egg cracks right in front of me. Or the gut ruffle felt at the ''door closing'' on Wish You Were Here. While the earlier 60's music was not much to write home about, The Dark Side of the Moon really got them out. A true masterpiece.
