  I didn't like the early Floyd much . . . it wasn't until Sid lost his mind that the band had some worth while stuff to write about . . . DSOTM is the best album ever!

  Thanks Sid and RIP

  When you Need a Window pain fixed

  Somewhere in my alcohol riddled brain the term "window pane" struck a a chord. I do believe it was the year Pink Floyd first went on tour to promote "Dark Side of the Moon". They did a concert at Saratoga Performing Arts Center in NY. I do believe I was there and may have unknowingly ingested some type of psychotropic chemicals. I'm not really sure about that as the mothership showed up during the album's title track and the rest is kinda a blur, but, I do remember the sound was awesome.

  P.S.  Oh yeah, they definately got that fly on Umma Gumma.

  And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
  No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

  Great post TT.. Youve found the secret....
  

   

  INCREDIBLE MUSIC!!!!! it is. Sometimes its almost spiritual to me. Heard them back in sixty s and im still goin. I was able too see Roger Waters a few years back. Sounds very very close to album. Here s a fact if not mentioned earlier. Little long but if your here for PF you wont mind.

  On March 17, 1973, a band in musical transition named Pink Floyd hit the Top 200 chart with the release of its new album, "Dark Side of the Moon." It entered the chart at No. 95, the top debut that week. And then a funny thing happened: It never left. Or almost never, anyway.

  
  
  -- 736 weeks to be precise -- in July 1988, it finally fell off The Billboard 200. Add in a later run on that chart and another 759 weeks on the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart, and Pink Floyd, with this issue, reaches the staggering plane of 1,500 weeks on the charts.
  
  It's difficult to contextualize just how singularly dominant a chart -- and cultural -- force the album has been. The runner-up for time served on The Billboard 200, Bob Marley and the Wailers' "Legend," is several years behind, and Floyd's lead in total chart weeks is greater Marley's by an almost 2-1 margin.
  
  Label sources say "Dark Side" has sold roughly 40 million copies worldwide and still routinely moves 8,000-9,000 copies on a slow week. In fact, the album still often outpaces the low end of The Billboard 200, and every song on the more than 30-year-old record still gets radio play, with some among the most-played songs at classic rock stations monitored by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems.
  
  "When the record was finished, I took a reel-to-reel copy home with me, and I remember playing it for my wife then, and her bursting into tears when it was finished," Pink Floyd principal Roger Waters tells Billboard. "And I thought, 'This has obviously struck a chord.' I was kinda pleased by that. I thought to myself, 'Wow, this is a pretty complete piece of work,' and I had every confidence that people would respond to it."

  More than 14 years later!!!!!! Unreal . Dont count on me  and million others suggestion. Pick up a cd. Explore Peace

  First real concert I ever attended - 4 May 1988 at Carter-Finley Stadium  (NC State's football stadium) - needless to say everything else pales in comparison.  And the music never gets old, still entrances me even though I haven't experimented with better living through chemistry since the 90s.
