That's like 15 years... |

Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.
Noone told you when to run - you missed the starting gun.
Undeniably good stuff . . . |

Location: Taiwan | So if you DON'T have the album (or CD), get it and listen to it with a great set of speakers or good headphones (preferably in a dimly-lighted room, other mood-enhancing items are your choice). ...and don't pick it up through iTunes - the tracks download individually so you have a break between them - no good for Pink Floyd albums...
No problem to go from a CD into iTunes, however, as you can have the tracks linked at that time. |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | There's a local tribute band called "All In All It's Just" that do such a very good Pink show that I believe a lower mainland promoter has picked them up.
It's the 'full on' deal; dark, swirling lights, overhead projectors, movies in the background, female chorus. Check them out if the show comes through your town. |

Saying Dark Side Of The Moon is one of the best rock albums ever is just stating the obvious. If the music and lyrics aren't enough, the production is flawless from start to finish and basically a benchmark of what an Album should sound like. 'Nuff said. |

| I saw the original Floyd with Syd Barrett. Light show was great. I've never owned a PF album. Gilmour makes a really nice noise. The magic passes me by. |

Location: Michigan | With my memory serving me right it was around 1970-1972 era when Pink Floyd played at Cobo Hall in Detroit. We were on the main floor when Floyd started with the song Meddle. Everyone was in La-la land when they broke into the loud guitar part at the 3/4 way of the song.They blew up an overcharged flash pod that burned and blew up part of the stage that ended up causing some massive damage to the stage and injuring some roadies and some audience members that were on psycodelics that evening.The rumor was that Pink Floyd would not be allowed to play at Cobo Hall again.That might of just been Urban Legend but it was one hell of a flash pod explosion that I will never forget.GWB |

Location: Upper Left USA | My Rock epiphany came when my older brother came home with his Navy buddies and in my room they borrowed the transformer from my race track and hooked up a car cassette player and some very expensive tech speakers.
It was not only the first time I heard DSOTM but the volume was merciless!
I was hooked! |

[Short-term memory loss-- I can't remember what I did last Friday, but I remember that whole movie. And I haven't seen it in forty years!] |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Have any of you seen the old black and white Fritz Lang movie 'Metropolis'? It's an old, old movie (I think it was made in the 1930's) and it was re-released last century with a Pink Floyd soundtrack.
It's a really worthwhile experience for Pink fans and/or B&W silent movie buffs. I'm not big on silent movies, but I really rated this one.
I'm certain Fritz Lang had Pink Floyd in mind when he made the movie 70 odd years ago. :) |
