My First Time Listening to The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd | My Reaction 

Just making a correction, at the 14:20 mark I refer to Any Colour You Like as track nine instead of track eight by accident. I put a note in the video during editing but it got deleted somehow and doesn't appear in the final uploaded video.

One of the greatest albums ever.

1st time? Welcome to the machine!!!!

Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall are must listens. Great reaction!

Oh, forgot to add...I saw Pink Floyd on their A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour at Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia in 1988. I had a floor seat, but it was in the back of the floor. Everyone stood up on their chair when the band came on and i couldnt see a thing as i was short and only 16. So i went to an upper level, and a nice older couple in the fromt row had an extra seat and let me sit with them. I had the most incredible view of the stage and circular screen and when the chorus of Us & Them hit each time, the colored lights pointing in at the center of the screen would swivel around to face the crowd and turn bright white lighting up EVERYTHING. It was simply breathtaking. Best concert I've ever seen. I'll never forget it.

One of my favorite memories is listening to this while watching The Wizard of Oz on mute with my family, and just enjoying the flow.

ANIMALS is their greatest album, in my opinion. Check it out. It's only 5 songs long. 🤞✌️

"The Wall" is a rock opera. One of the greatest albums ever recorded. 🤞✌️

The run of Floyd albums from Atom Heart Mother to Meddle, DSotM, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall is probably unmatched by any other artist or group outside of The Beatles.

Great review of an iconic album! Thank you Molly 😊

It blows my mind there are people out there who have never heard Money. Such a great album, even better if you can listen to it straight through, no breaks. Such a different experience.

One of my favorite channels, I appreciate how genuine you are with every reaction. Hoping for the Velvet Underground soon!

Best album of all time hands down. This album demands to be listened to from beginning to end without any skips. If you like Dark side of the moon, then check out: The wall Wish you were here Meddle Momentary laps of reason And The piper at the gates of dawn Pink Floyd 's Discography is just amazing

Inventive, unique and well ahead of its time. A musical masterpiece that never ages.

Epic album, gorgeous Molly

This album is my all time number 1 favorite album, I'm glad you got to experience it!

Someone should have told you this is not an album that you pause. Not your fault. Always appreciate your insights. Hope your spring is going well.

I notice you mostly react to albums relatively recent, you might want to continue the trend of reacting to albums way before your time, the 60's and 70's produced some of the best music ever. Today's music just doesn't compare.

The thing I love about this album is that they touch on so many elements in the first track, foreshadowing things to come. Then you get to hear each one at just the right moment in the album. I've heard a few artists try to emulate The Dark Side Of The Moon in their own concept albums, but I haven't heard one yet that could match the scope and heights of this album.

This is a 20th-century audio masterpiece, I look forward to your PF listening journey 👍

As has been mentioned this album remained on the Billboard Top 200 for 741 consecutive weeks (14 years, 2 months), between March of 1973 and October 1988 before finally dropping off. And now sits at 19 years in total. I bet it still gets a bump in sales during the holidays.

Great review Molly.👍On the money with your explanations of how the tracks unfold.Please listen to it seemlessly,no breaks,headphones on,darkened room,close your eyes...and just drift away.🎧🎶🌌 One of the best ever.😉👍

Not trying to knock your process of reactions, but Pink Floyd’s albums from Dark Side and after are really meant to be listened through. Track by track can interrupt the experience of the album. I just want to recommend listening to the whole album, then commenting on the record. If you don’t, that’s cool. Just listening to Pink Floyd is awesome. Glad to have you sit in the space that has molded many of us. The next albums you should listen to in order are Wish You Were Here, Animals, then The Wall. Atom Heart Mother and Saucerful of Secrets are fun ones to listen to, really shows their origin story before perfecting their sound on the album Meddle. I’m just a big Pink Floyd fan and love seeing people experience the band and their music.

For decades pink Floyd resisted the tracks being separated; each album was presented as a whole compendium, the balance only resolved when the whole album was listened to,in one go. It might be said that holds true for their entire catalog of albums. It’s certainly an epic and unique journey of English ‘progressive rock’ Spoken by a Scot, btw!

It's pretty much impossible to say what is the best record ever made, but if there ever was one worthy of that title, Dark Side of The Moon would be it. Great reaction!

The dark side of the microphone 🎤 is epic!!!!! Hi Molly rock on!!! ❤️

Love your full album reviews❤ Keep it up... I am curious what epic albums come next! off topic... the face you have a copy of FSX on your shelf intrigues me. maybe for a separate video one day😅 😅

Molly, I appreciate your reaction to this. Never been much of a Pink Floyd person myself, but I do enjoy some of their songs, and I always value your take. 👍💯

Wow! Your descriptions nailed Gilmour’s guitar tones! To get that twangy delay you mentioned on money, he used a binson echorec which is an old school style delay that allows you to combine different delay times to get that unique effect. On Time he used a fuzz pedal so your description of the sound as fuzzy is perfect! He is the king of guitar tone! Loved your vid!

This is the only record that makes me emotional. It's so well made, so beautiful. Truly a timeless masterpiece

Molly you’re my favorite RU-vidr!! I love your videos so damn much but only because 🥲you’re in them lol ☺️

Great one! One of my favorites. I stopped commenting a long time ago because you replied that Coheed and Cambria was on your list. But that's been about 2 years. So here we go again.. Coheed!

Dark Side of the Moon is an absolute gem of an album, and it stands the test of time as a hallmark of the Prog Rock genre. Also, come on, Molly, a saxophone solo is really something you should have expected on this album. As they say, expect the unexpected! Another awesome video, can't wait to see what you are going to post next!

One of, if not the best albums ever. Well done on using proper headphones. Welcome to the machine.

The first time I heard Dark Side of the Moon was also the first time I got high. Both made an impression.

Ok 2 things you really need to do soon (if you haven't already) 1. listen to Pink Floyd's album "The Wall" 2. Watch the movie based on the album.

Oh man, youre in for a treat. One of the greatest albums of all time, and also has my favorite song of all time, "The Great Gig in the Sky." Cant wait to see your thoughts on this experience.

Hi Molly 👋 I enjoyed that thank you 😊

One of the few things my dad and I can agree on is Pink Floyd. This album has been present for my entire life. My dad loved to blast this on his very expensive (and very big) speakers when I was a kid. Years later I would sync it up to The Wizard of Oz in college. It's still with me today.

My favorite song is Eclipse, but I believe it only works when you listen to the entire album, so every time I feel like listening to Eclipse, I find myself compelled to listen to the album from start to finish.

Great reaction! I totally recommend "The Wall" next, and one detail about that album that always makes me giddy to think about is the little easter egg they put in it. Partly the easter egg itself, but also that it feels like something so unique at that time when it was released! Those who knows about it knows :D haha

Time is definitely my favorite song by these blokes! ❤❤❤

Great review! Such an amazing album, or should I say "experience". Pink Floyd are MASTERS of their art. They do it all perfectly

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to te concept album. We have now trancended to a higher form of thinking: songs that lyrically have something to do with each other. Crazy idea 50 years ago and apparently its a crazy idea now.

Glad you enjoyed it. One of my fav bands and Dark Side of the Moon is an absolute masterpiece. You’ll also like their albums Wish You Were Here, Animals and of course The Wall

Hi Molly! New subscriber here, your reaction was recommended by youtube for me and I'm so glad their algorithm suggested that I check you out. You have a good ear for music, you've obviously listened to enough artists to have an appreciation for music that is beyond your years. This album just celebrated it's 50th anniversary! FIFTY YEARS! I would recommend straight after DSotM, you should check out their next album, Wish You Were Here, followed by their earlier album Meddle in that order! Cheers, have a lovely day!

...hi Molly, for such a compressed review you did really well... 'Dark Side' is for some the zenith of PFs catalogue, but all albums in its vicinity are peak experiences - any of the 70s will do, from 'Atom Heart Mother' to 'The Wall'... looking forward to find out where you will go next! 🌈

Wish You Were Here - a must-listen, and my fave Floyd album. Another great reaction, Molly!

Alice down the rabbit hole of progressive music

Shoutout to Durga McBroom, impressive and gorgeous voice. My sister and I met her 10 years ago when she came to a radio station here in my country, very gentle and grounded person.

Hell Yeah!!! I've been waiting for this reaction for a long time. Molly, now you will have to go down the Pink Floyd "rabbit hole". There is a reason this is one of the most sold albums of all time.

Oh, to be able to hear this for the first time again. Best concept album ever. Time is my all time favorite song. Probably always will be. I played Dark Side of the Rainbow (Dark Side set to the Wizard of Oz) for my daughters when they were 5, 3 and 2. My 5 year old said to me, "Daddy, is this rock and roll? I think I like this." My wife and I always get emotional when Eclipse hits it's crescendo. This album has become such an integral part of my life, I can't imagine living without it.

One of rhe greatest albums ever, my personal favorite prog-rock album. It was groundbreaking in its production style, produced by Alan Parsons who would go on to create his own studio project band called The Alan Parsons Project, who would go on the make some fantastic albums, especially their concept album, "I Robot".

Great reaction! There will never be another band like Pink Floyd.

Hi Molly, I enjoyed watching your vlog with my best friend! We listened to this album a few years back. We really like the songs on this album! We enjoy watchingYT videos together! We are guys who enjoy Reaction, reviews, hauls, shopping travel and unboxing videos. :) :)

OHHHHH i LOVE Pink Floyd!! This album is phenomenal, I love On The Run and The Great Gig In The Sky. Now you've gotta do The Wall in the future, and I had an idea. The band made a dvd for the Wall that's basically a movie version of the album that tells the same story and plays all the songs over it. Do you think you might react to the movie so you'll be hearing the album and seeing the film at the same time? I guess it's like getting the full experience that way.

Just a masterpiece

Helluva concert! Was never able to get that close again. Seems people liked and bought the album. Bought the hell out of it! I'd suggest the video of Echoes, Live at Pompeii, parts 1 and 2, next. Or Astronomy Domine.

I listened to this album for the first time when I was 16. And at that time I already said it was probably my favourite album. 12 years later, it still is.

“The Dark Side of the Moon” and “Wish you were here” are my absolute favorites 🙏🏻

Go to the first album with the original member Syd Barret and listen to that and going in order chronologically with the albums gives a far better vision than just gong strait into the 70s ..Syd is the man that was the fast burnout and he is the focus of the subject on the song Brain Damage ..Check out his history and you can get more from what you hear as it progresses

Besides being a classic album, the artwork on the cover is very famous. I see many people your age walking around in t-shirts with the album artwork on it. I wonder if most of them even know what it means. Obviously, you do after doing this reaction, which is really cool!

I'm about 18 months older than this album, and I remember hearing somgs from it on the radio when i was 10 or so, but when i was 12 I bought the cassette, and listened to the whole thing. I can still see my room and remember how I felt listening to this album. I copied it to a blank cassette so i could keep a copy in my car. Ive probably purchased this album a dozen times over the years, as some would get worn out or scratched, or as the band put out different versions, etc. Simply put, its a perfect album to me. I hope you move on to other Floyd albums...especially the rest of what is considered "the big 4," Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. All EXCELLENT concept albums, and worth listening to a few hundred times. Lol

One of the single greatest listening experiences I’ve ever had was hearing David Gilmour’s solo on “Time” for the first time and feeling like I was soaring thru space off of his notes.

This is one of the few albums that is really just one flowing song. It's absolutely beautiful

Hi, great that you have had the opportunity to listen to this album and share your thoughts. As you can tell this is a very important album to many people. To help with your understanding and appreciation what I suggest is just listening to Great Gig in the Sky. What does the title of the track suggest? Then when you are listening to it, what do you think the singer is trying to convey or express? Bearing in mind there arent any actual lyrics. Then listen to the rest of the album in the same vein. Hope this is helpful.

This is one of those classics that back in the day you would take a couple of hits off of a reefer and then put your headphones on. Ah, the good old days. Peace ❤

I recommend going back and also checking out the albums Meddle, and Obscured By Clouds as well. I am actually working on getting through the albums I haven't listened to by them, but those two, along with Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall are all must listens.

There are moments that are just magic… this album is one of them.

I saw them live, the show, the music, was absolutely amazing, and sweet baby jesus, the backing vocalists, not only did they sound incredible, they had moves that were sexier than all hell, they were absolute fire, especially on Great Gig in the Sky....I have one question for you Molly, now that you've heard Dark Side of the Moon, will you be getting the T-shirt ?

My favorite album of all-time. The flow between these tracks is absolute perfection.

Honestly, one of the best albums ever made. Great review!

For me, the last true Pink Floyd album, "Division Bells" equaled the masterpiece quality of 'Dark Side of the Moon'. However, there is a track intentionally left off this album and saved as a final radio hit for "Endless River", which were outtakes from Division Bell and released many years later. This hit was called "Louder Than Words". Some Pink Floyd fans don't recognize this album because Roger Waters does not appear on it. To me, that was like saying, Pink Floyd's first album, "Piper at the Gates of Dawn' doesn't count because it featured Syd Barrett on guitar and vocals. Guitarist/singer/songwriter David Gilmour had not performed with Floyd, until their second album. You will also find several Pink Floyd early radio hits were left off their albums. Released only as 45 rpm singles, songs like "Julia Dream", "See Emily Play", "Paint Box" and "Arnold Layne". However, they can be found on a compilation album called 'Relics' or just check out these RU-vids videos.

look forward to your upcoming album that stays in the top40 for 14 years! you know, if you want to analyse something, you need a position to stand on!

1:45 that expression on your face its the best descripcion to pynk floyd. I remember the first time listenign to this guys ,it was very trippy and amazing :v

Prog rock, concept albums aren't really meant to be broken up into individual tracks. It's all one story, and designed to be listened to continuously.

I think all us Pink Floyd fans are together on this in saying we'd love you to react to the Live Pulse Concert video. I think you'd be absolutely blown away! That concert is Pink Floyd perfection!

So im 28 and while I was in highschool I found this album and listened to it everyday throughout the school day. I remember just feeling so calm and comfortable while I listened. I remember the clocks at the start of time scaring me when I fell asleep in class 😂

The hidden hero behind this amazing record was the music production work done by Alan Parsons, who has some fantastic music of his own with a band called "The Alan Parsons Project"

My favourite album, the record that change my life many years ago!. Nearly 20 years have passed and I still feel it is the best album ever made. I always had that feeling of perfection, that everything is in its place. I hope you enjoy Pink Floyd much more, especially The Wall and Animals!

The watery rippley sound which is kind of swirling on the guitar it's called a Leslie cabinet It had a speaker inside that spun around on an angle

You need to listen to their followup, Wish You Were Here, next. Such a beautiful and natural progression off of what they've done here.

An absolute classic, I'd love to experience the first listen to this album again 💟 I think any of their albums from this point it would be an excelent choice for a reaction ( "Wish You Were Here", "Animals" and "The Wall"). I'll hope you enjoy this journey through pink floyd music catalogue.

I'm 38 - my dad introduced me to this and other great music as a young child - been listening to it my entire life, a masterpiece

It’s definitely a album with listening to! I saw a planetarium version of this album! It was so trippy! Great introduction to Pink Floyd!

This album is incredible, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And you can expect top notch writing and production from here and onto the newer albums. I think you should pick the next albums chronologically until you get to The Wall. The 80's and 90's albums are cool too, but Pink Floyd got into a bit of a power struggle during that era, so they're somewhat of a departure from the previous stuff.

Noice, settle in for one or the best bands of all time.

Wish You Were Here is a must!!

From the 1994 Pulse Concert, please check out COMFORTABLY NUMB. You will witness one of the greatest guitar solos ever.

The daddy of all concept albums 😊

Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best albums of all time. It stayed in the top 200 sales for more than a decade! Like most of Pink Floyd, you need to listen to and think of the album as a whole, not a collection of individual songs. Sit back in the dark with good headphones and lose yourself in a re-listen of the whole album. Mind "enhancers" are not necessary, the album is all you need. Listen to a mastered album or CD quality at least to pick up all the subtle details of the incredible production. The Wall and Wish You Were Here are also great to react to. They are less "connected" but still tell one story....

Nice reaction. Cool to see you do Pink Floyd. I’d recommend doing either Wish You Were Here or The Wall or Obscured By Clouds next.

Echoes, on the album Meddle, the album before DSOM. It's where they finally got it together after years of experimentation. Roger Waters described Echoes as the band finishing their apprenticeship, producing the masterpiece required to qualify and then saying "right lads, get your aprons on, we're going to do Dark Side of the Moon". Best listened to on a beach with massive speakers behind you, the Sun has just set, the crescent Moon about to set and the stars are starting to come out. Close your eyes get taken away by the music. When you open your eyes at the end the Moon has set and the Milky Way galaxy is overhead. Sit in silence with the waves lapping on the beach.

Animals is my favorite, maybe of all time… the wall is great too, and the movie I’ve seen hundreds of times.. Live at Pompeii is one of the greatest live albums and the film of that is the greatest concert video even though there’s no crowd

The song Comfortably Numb live Pulse concert is a must see epic experience . Also the album Wish You Were Here is unbelievable. You are falling into the Pink Floyd rabbit hole, what fun 😊.

Such amazing music and it only gets better with Pulse.

Fun Fact: Syd Barrett(original vocalist; only on first two albums) named the band after two American Blues artists, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Pleeeease react to Fear of A Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree. Such a crazy trip of an album! We need more prog rock!!

if you listen closely on eclipse you can hear roger say. "there is no dark side of the moon matter as fact its all dark". then you hear a very quiet trumpety sound during the heartbeat

I remember my first time listening to this one. I went in knowing it was "one of the greatest rock albums", so I was expecting some good classic rock. Instead I got this gorgeous experience. It really defies categorization.
