Red_Mist, have you seen the gig on youtube? I love it.
Not seen that Rigga. Good stuff.
I like this simple summary of Dark Side from their dvd cover notes:-
"While each of the four Pink Floyd albums between 1973 and 1979 transformed huge themes into rousing studio experiments, Dark Side of the Moon stands as the most resonant - most likely because the record examines the human condition as skillfully as any anthropologist could. Starting and ending with a heartbeat (the symbol of life), the narrative moves on a path from birth ("Breathe") to death ("The Great Gig in the Sky") and eventual spiritual resolution ("Eclipse"), all while exploring the basic forces that shape mankind: time, or lack thereof ("Time"), movement ("On The Run"), possessions ("Money"), conflict ("Us And Them"), and madness ("Brain Damage"). These universal matters suffer little in our musical translation; reggae has long tackled humanist themes, especially those that document daily suffering and endless hope."
Dark Side is a timeless classic, although I seem to listen to Dub Side more often these days (and very occasionally set them up to alternate between the two, as they're pretty seemless...sad eh!). But they both never fail to move me, which I can't say about too many albums.
