First listening to PINK FLOYD - "THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" (Part.1) 

In 1973, the sounds Pink Floyd produced were sounds of the future. No-one experienced those kinds of noises. Now, they're sounds of a certain past, but they still sound futuristic. Sequencers, tape-loops, all done manually because computers were a thing of the future. That's what makes Pink Floyd stand-out and special. The vision they had, the guts to experiment. Waters, Gilmour, Wright and Mason and in the early days Syd Barrett were far ahead of their time. The Einsteins of music, so to speak. And fifty years after the facts, you sit there and enjoy. Lovely to watch. Warm embraces from Belgium, ma jolie.

A shout out to Clare Torry, the singer on Great Gig in the Sky. This album is full of wonderfully written and performed music, but for me this improvised vocal is the highlight of this, the greatest album.

I first heard this album in high school. My music teacher came into class one day and said "this is a new album - I'm convinced it will become one of the most important albums ever made. For today's lesson we're just going to listen to it right through." I'm pretty sure the whole class was blown away by it.

one of the very few albums in existence in which you need to listen to it from beginning to end. skipping around to random songs just doesn't work. what an absolute masterpiece

Clare Torry became an eternal rock goddess with a single 4 minute performance. Everything about this album is eternal.

Well done for listening to the complete side. So many reactors just audition a single tune from the album and it doesn't work. I saw Pink Floyd in concert at Earls Court at just about the same time as this was released and the tracks they played from the album left the audience spellbound

There’s something quietly reassuring seeing you absorb this music that has been a part of my entire life… I’m 57 now and have lived my life knowing these songs. Thank you ❤️

I am so happy to see your reaction to this! Shout out to whom ever recommended this because this is an classic once in a life time recording. You always seem to notice and react to the same parts of music that I do. In Band Maid, Babymetal, LoveBites, etc. I was so hoping you would do this album. I was your age when this Pink Floyd album came out. I already knew the parts you would like and it makes me happy to see another generation appreciate the music I loved growing up. Looking forward to your music reactions always. Keep them coming you are so fun to watch!

Best album of all time for me.

“The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death” As another older person who has listened to this song many times in many places and circumstances, it is such a pleasure to watch the joy of someone else experiencing it for the first time. Makes an old man cry. Thanks for sharing. I’m posting this 3 months later in Time but this music will live on forever.

Young lady it’s possible you can’t imagine or appreciate just how pleasing it is to watch you reacting to Pink Floyd .. like others here I’ve experienced Floyd for a very long time and still remember the first time I heard each track, I don’t mean the date or the place but the feelings that were invoked and how almost every track flows into the next. So seeing you absorb it for the first time and your clearly pleased reactions will ensure I watch many more of your reactions. Thank you for your time and effort.

I've been listening to Pink Floyd for 50 years and even now there are still new facets to discover. It's great to see the younger generation listening to these masterpieces for the first time. I hope you enjoy the journey. Incidentally, I was there at the concert you watched when they played Comfortably Numb!

I think I can trump the previous comments in the age stakes as I am now 72 and bought this record when was first released back in 1973 ( I think). I have loved it ever since. It is so heartening to watch a young person finding out just how good music can be. Please also, have a look at the lyrics for the songs, they make the hole experience even more profound.

Given that Floyd's songs often connect seamlessly to eachother I'd recommend finding a very high quality youtube video of the whole actual vinyl album, that doesn't have any cuts between songs. It's not a huge deal, but those little skips between songs are daggers in the hearts of fans like me who have heard these albums in their original formats for so many years.

Hey ho, love to see a reaction to Pink Floyd from you! As a 44 old I couldnt be more proud that the youth wont forget about the old Masters ;) Greetz from Germany

Good job. One of the greatest recordings of all time. Much credit to Alan Parsons. Glad you are enjoying this as much as we did growing up with this.

I love seeing your reaction to Pink Floyd. I love their music so much; it's deep, complex, and hypnotic and gets more beautiful with each song you listen to. It's definitely best described as an experience. I hope you listen to more, in particular Echoes, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all parts), and the whole Animals album. Happy journeys to you!! 💗✌🏽

Welcome to the 60s and 70s some of the greatest rock music ever recorded there was so many great artists and bands making music that was iconic and it truly does my heart good to see young people discovering it today and feeling the way we all did some 50 years ago Pink Floyd was considered head music you put the album on with your headphones and listened to the whole album from side one to side two great reaction thanks

That is my favorite Pink Floyd album. It's an absolute masterpiece. I miss so much sharing the music with people and it's awesome to find you enjoying it so much :) Keep it up!

I was 17 in 1973 when this came out. Listened to it that entire summer and still I listen to this day. A real masterpiece.

I'm in my 50s now. I bought my first album when I was nine, Queen's 'News Of The World'. Since then I've listened to classic rock, hard rock, punk, metal, grunge, EDM, bluegrass, blues, just about everything. I've heard some fantastic music and hundreds of albums. Still nothing tops this album along with 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd.

The face of a true musical connoisseur... Love your reactions.

Part 2 (link) : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FBuImhnPlBY.html Hope you enjoy !!

This album has so many levels. It's so intricate and complex but intimate at the same time. A difficult and unusual combination to pull off. Amazing and so ahead of its time. Probably among the earliest examples of electronic music without actually being totally electronic. This album examines mortality,life,living,the rhythm of life. It also looks at the brevity of time here and the futility of it all. There's a mystical and metaphysical aspect to the album too. The rhythms,sound effects, and beats even mimic and mirror nature and life (heart beat, oceans waves,breathing,etc). Incredible.

I was randomly listening to Pink floyd online. When your reaction video popped up in my Recomendation feed. Your facial expression,hearing Dark side of the moon. Was probably the same as mine hearing this album the first time in the early 90's entering High school. As a 40 year old this album is still as great as it was back then.. Keep up the good work.

Parents should play this album starting when the child is in the womb. No one should be denied this music.

I LOVE watching younger People's reaction to this. I'm 57 and I grew up listening to PINK FLOYD and never gets old. It's some of the BEST HEART AND SOUL music that you will ever hear.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Pink Floyd are such an amazing band. I was very lucky that my parents are both huge music nerds so they gave me an appreciation for this stuff, and also I had access to a huge music collection. If you liked Dark Side of the Moon (which you clearly did), my suggestion for more Pink Floyd would be the album _Animals_ which is my personal favourite.

There was a van in Seattle that was painted in the Pink Floid Dark side of the Moon ! I'll never forget that!

I also recommend to watch the PULSE live version. The whole concert is amazing. The Great Gig In The Sky especially is an emotional song for me. This studio version is great but I always cry watching Sam Brown screaming her heart out at the PULSE concert. Nice reaction.

All these great bands have gone, lost to musical history never to return, ever. I am so glad I grew up having the privilege of watching some of these great bands live (Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis and Yes, to name just a few.)

The song The Great Gig In The Sky, the three verses that Claire 'sang' where supposed to represent the three stages of grief: Verse 1 Anger, Verse 2 Sorrow, Verse 3 Acceptance. Amazing and powerful piece of music.

I celebrate you finally discovered this jewel, specially the great Gig in the sky, from now on, you just learned what music really is, or better said, really can be. Welcome to this universe where music, good music, this kind of music, will fill you all, needing anything else. I hope you continue, there are so many wonders to delight!

Thank you for listening to entire "recordings" as they were made. The order of play is crucial for most records of this period and you develop an entirely different appreciation of a group, prodicer and engineer and even the cover artist and liner notes. Please tell me if you agree about getting more out of songs or movements together? The flow and story in records. You have now covered two of my favorite albums; Zep 1 and Dark Side. You are doing great and showing excellent taste, judging from your reactions. Thx! Oh, try these...Tommy, The Who, Aqualung by Jethro Tull, Let it Bleed, The Rolling Stones.

I built and ran my high school's first radio station, which broadcast into the school cafeteria. Our first play item was side 1 of Dark Side of the Moon. It took a minute for students to recognize where the heartbeat was coming from when we first went live. All of the Floyd albums carry memories of one kind or another.

One of the greatest albums ever made, surely in the top 10.

GREETINGS from PHILIPPINES.. I am 63, from Detroit ..now I live here. In 1973 I first heard this album, on headphones, (and also smoking my first "joint") ..this vinyl album changed my life, .. for better ... gave me awareness ..( then I listen to Led Zepplin..just to HARD-ROCK) Great react!

It's great to see a young generation discovers Pink Floyd. This excitement and enthusiasm. At that time , the band had two leaders David Gilmour whom you admired in "Comfortable Numb" and Roger Waters. Both great voices. Waters left the PF and started very successful solo career. Small tip, imho, "Dark Side" is best to be listened to in some remote place like a meadow, lying on your back at night, watching stars above.

The album came out during my freshman year in college. Instantly, you couldn’t pass a dorm room without it blasting out at you. That went on for a couple of years. Pure magic.

I knew you would know the album Artwork but not the album. It was so great to see that moment during "Time" when you just got "lost in the sauce" in that dreamy mix, and then TGGITS a truly unique dive into the emotions surrounding Death. Around 3 / 4 if you listen really hard you will hear "if you can hear this whisper you are dying" a reminder to make every moment count😉❤️

Welcome to The Floyd! As another contributor wrote thanks for appreciating music this 60 year old has been listening to all his life.

I bought the Album on it’s release in 1973 , at the age of 13 now more than 50 years later , I’m still listening to it, possibly one of the greatest albums Ever

Hello. Greetings from Illinois 🇺🇸!! Loved the react. So awesome to see a young lady discovering the soundtrack of my youth. I am a retired drummer and let me tell you, seeing The Floyd wasn't just seeing a concert. It was a HAPPENING! It was a feast for the senses. An experience to be treasured forever. Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall should be your next listens, in that order. And there is a whole wealth of other music from that magic era, the greatest era of music EVER!!! - IMO, of course. Hope you will continue your journey of discovery so I can take it with you. Peace and love. ✌&❤ 🤘😎🤘 PS: I discovered Nightwish a couple of years ago. They are fantastic!!!

Your smile is so genuine. We can SEE the enjoyment in that grin of yours! Right at 14:01 you get this look like you can't believe how good this really is!

Enjoyed your reaction to the music especially Time and Great Gig. It's good that you decided to take in Dark Side of the Moon as a whole piece and not as separate songs. My interpretation of this work is constantly evolving. If you think of this as an exposition on life then it makes some sense. The first song is about the beginning of one's life--just after you're born, the doctor smacks you to get you to breathe. "On the Run" and "Time" sums up the period between birth and death. "Time" has some incredible lyrics which you should go back to read. I always thought "Great Gig in the Sky" was the emotions one must have in facing the finale of a life--at first anger and denial which transitions into sadness and then acceptance. "Great Gig" is like the stages of grief as one nears death captured in music. The flip side of the album concentrates on some universal themes of life-money and achievement; unity and division; etc. So glad you found and appreciate Floyd.

I Love Pink Floyd, my story started when I was just 15 years old when I went to see Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon, at Earls Court Saturday 19th May 1973 the massive hall was full to capacity, well, I can honestly say that it was the most mind blowing experience to this day (I'm now 64) and have been a life long FAN ever since and been a life long Pink Floyd devotee. I just love David Gilmour on guitar. I also got to see him live in Pompeii many years later (2016), it was again a very emotional journey, bringing back all those memories. Would love to hear your reaction to Wish you where Here, another Pink Floyd Classic.

Watching your reactions to hearing this for the first time gave me shivers, the music of my life

So now that you've heard this, you need to listen to the album 'L'Heptade' by Harmonium. It's a totally amazing 70s psychedelic record from a Montreal band. It's basically the Quebecois Dark Side of the Moon, every prog rock fan in the province had a well worn copy.

You’re a fun and sweet gal! Open minded, too! I like your reactions and you seem to like everything that I like, too! I’m glad you are enjoying this music! It’s the best Rock has to offer to this day! Enjoy! 🎸👏🏻😎

Pink Floyd hits different as I get older.... More profound.

I bought a vinyl copy the first week the album came out. I have a total of 10 vinyl albums from Pink FLoyd. THe greatest rock band in history.

Thank you. You helped me to experience this classic album that was such a big part of growing up back then as if it were the first time again. James 63yrs.old. -Stockholm

VERDY, there's something most people don't realize. When this album was created, it required hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, and knowledge of some very advanced cutting edge technology to produce. Today, anyone with a decent laptop and a few hundred Euros can create all of those sounds. What you need is some Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software, a MIDI keyboard controller, an audio interface and a microphone. (Vocal lessons and a guitar will cost extra). I'm not saying you'll create something on the level of Pink Floyd (those people were musical geniuses) but with some understanding of music theory, you can create something satisfying for yourself. Since you are capable of creating and produce RU-vid videos, you already have the technical skill to try it.

I love listening to albums that have defined my life with people who’ve never heard them before. It’s very gratifying and I really appreciate your curiosity and acceptance of music from the past!

Can you hear a Heartbeat where the people meet and greet on the street? Do you feel sadness, gladness or madness? Pink Floyd Fills the Void! 👏🏻🎸😎

Loved your reaction to part 1…I look forward to your response to part 2…The best is yet to come!! CC

I had to watch you on the 5th song vocal scale melody.What a joy that was seeing your face run with a vast array of expressions.

The solo on time is FREAKING epic.

At last a young person on you tube doing the whole album at once which is the ONLY way to experience Pink Floyd, I am 67 years old, and it is so special to me to see a young person experience music that was so important to me in my youth.

I thought little of Great Gig when I was young. Now that I know she's mourning the death of a loved one it moves me to tears.

Just found your channel today. Really enjoying your Pink Floyd reactions!

One of THE best Albums ever. It's music everyone should listen too at least once. So glad to see the younger generations still enjoying this music.

Wow that was great =) It's the first time i listened to Dark Side Of The Moon with headphones ! I had this on reel to reel in the seventies but this is so much better ! Also the first time i have seen someone react to this classic album !

Hi Verdy!, I recently picked up on your channel reviewing some of my personal favs...like Led Zep and Pink Floyd. The Floyd/Pulse video on youtube is one of their best but I highly recommend you search youtube for more David Gilmore music....he absolutely is a killer guitarist. One of my fav things to do is put on the head phones, turn the light in the room down of OFF, and watch the floyd live concerts on the larget screen you can find in the house !!!! this music will "take you away".....The Floyd is probably my top artist EVER...having grown up in the 60's, 70's and beyond. Keep posting....and enjoy!!!

music so irresistibly sublime and transcendental that this album spent well over a decade on the Billboard album charts after it came out

Time is one of the greatest songs ever written. It gets more and more important as you age.

I was 18 when this was released. Oh, what a year! It still sounds as good today as it ever did.

Great to see you listen to this and react without prior knowledge to one of the best albums ever made. And the solo on Time is one of the greatest ever committed to tape, so great to hear you acknowledge that without the knowledge of its status among aficionados.

Takes me back to the 70s. I Still get goosebumps now listening to it but then I was totally out of it. Great watching the younger generation enjoy this masterpiece 😁

It is certainly one of the greatest albums of all time. So good. Great reaction.

heartwarming to see young people enjoying this masterpiece 😊😊

Always love to see a new Floyd fan being created - loved your genuine reaction to this timeless classic. And you did it the right way, listening to each side straight through so you get the flow and how the songs interconnect (you paused at the right times). Basically, the first side is about life and death. We start with birth with Breathe, On The Run as you come of age, Time is your friend until the hours just start moving too quickly and Great Gig in The Sky is going through the stages of grief before accepting your own demise in the end. The second side deals with greed, polarization and madness - can't wait to see your reaction...

Thank you for the sincere emotions!

Beautiful smile to reaction a song. Beautifil Music, beautiful girl🍀❤️🎼✨️

Super réac, merci! Keep it up, your enthusiasm and your good ear are greatly entertaining.

Excellent reaction - and well done on taking the advice to listen to the whole album in one sitting. That is how it should be listened to.

I love watching a young person like you with BTS on their wall, just loving this album that I love, too. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. :)

The drumming at the start of Time is mind blowing. Second favorite album by Pink Floyd. I like The Wall just a little more.

Nice reaction. Loved watching groove to the guitar solo in "Time."

Remember hearing this on a yacht in a place called Los cayos cochinos ( pig keys) in Honduras fresh out of high school enjoying one of the most beautiful beaches in the world with this album on board. 73-74. Now 66 I don’t complain at all. What a big jump from then till now. After all I’m not afraid to die why should I do…… great band. Guys enjoy it.

Immediately you recognized the organized chaos of the prelude to this album. Heart beat, cash register, crazy man talking, helicopter, and the voice screaming. This harkens back to the concept of musique concrete, a movement that started almost 100 years ago as composers explored the natural and man-made sounds around them, put to modern technology, the tape recorder. Pink Floyd, after the departure of Syd Barrett, had to find their own direction, and musique concrete, along with jazz, blues and classical music, was the direction they would take.

On a lazy, sunning Sunday afternoon, when all of the dregs of the party from last night have been cleared away, you find a beer, and settle down in the back garden with shadows fading, thinking of the week ahead, and put on Dark Side ....it is just, thankful, inspiring, loving crying, forgetting...these guys are geniuses (you have to listen to the lyrics as well). Mozart's "Requiem" and JS Bachs "Jesu Joy of Mans Desiring" are the greatest music ever made, but this comes close to them sometimes....

You havent lived until you play this album with headphones alone in the dark🤘❤️ you have a great smile🤘new sub

Your mojo is lovely. You remind me of me about 50 years ago when I bought this album ... listened to it daily for weeks.

In the early70s when the record come out it sold 12 million copies. It later come out in quadraphonic sound by the record company.

I absolutely love that you love this It's a masterpiece..

Have watched the Pulse at Earl's Court on DVD, amazing show. That featured 3 singers doing Clare Torry's part and incredibly good. The most beautiful to me, though, was Gilmore with slide guitar on lap as he moves the slide and looks to his right. A spot comes on Clare Torry and she starts. Next we look across Richard Wright on keyboards look towards her and smiles. Gilmore looks towards him, smiling. And up we soar. There are interviews with her on YT, and a delight.

Yep I'm 58 it's a blessing to see them appreciated by young people now

A must see for Pink Floyd the Legendary recording ---> Pink Floyd LIVE AT POMPEII HD FULL

When you done Comfortably Numb,they started that concert doing Dark Side of the Moon from beginning to end and it was amazing. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Lovely reaction. It get to you, doesn’t it. Been listening to this for ever, still find more to enjoy. Thank you 🙏🏻

You've accidentally found the rabbit hole that is Pink Floyd. There's no getting out. You are now a friend for life. Welcome sister.

Aloha I was in high school. One of the classes was music appreciation. The teacher. Wanted us to listen to Bach and Beethoven. He asked the class to bring a favorite album He was surprised. We grew up on this

Good stuff Verdy darlin', great reaction!

I listened to this just like you in my bedroom in 1972 and was blown away forever. Lovely to watch your experience.

My daughter is 15 and going through some intense stuff. We had a hugging, loving intersection in our lives when she told me the other day how much she likes this album, especially Breathe.

What a treat watching you listen to Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon for the first time Verdy. I still remember my first time 30 years ago. It is still as good now as it was my first time. great music can stand the test of time.

Listening to Great Gig in the Sky for 40+ years and it never fails to elicit tears. Did it again.....

The longer I live, the more the song “Time” weighs on me. I understood the song when I was young, its intention, its lesson, but it could not prepare me for real time. I have kept the lessons in my mind all these decades however. I will credit the warnings of “Time” with reminding me to be mindful of every minute of my life. This is why, to me, “Time” is the song from my youth which has provided me the most value in my life. “The Great Gig in the Sky” right? RIGHT?!?!?

Listen to how the textures change as the album develops. You get the fairly spare sound of the guitar/bass/drums combo, and then you get these HUGE organ and backup vocal combo. The big "washy" textures get more and more prominent over the course of the album as you'll see in side 2 Claire Torrey's performance on "Great Gig" is the kind that makes careers.
