Welcome to my channel, Critical Reacts! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I’ve loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on youtube, which eventually turned in to a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I’ve evolved in to doing other things on youtube. For years now I’ve wanted to create a music channel on youtube, and recently just figured “why not?”, so its time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

Unlike the rest of the album there is no connection between "The Great Gig in the Sky" and "Money". The reason for that is that TGGITS ended side one of the vinyl and Money started side two.
Hey man. Love that you're doing the albums in chunks the way they should be done. Just something you said about Syd being represented by the prism. The line in Shine On that you're thinking of, it was "come on, you prisoner", not prism. It was a reference to Syd being a prisoner in his own mind. It's a concept that would later resurface in the narrative of The Wall. The prism idea was because the band wanted a cover for Dark Side that was "clean, simple, and bold" and this was one of 5 options presented to the band. It's also fitting as the album deconstructs a life cycle into its component parts, reflected in the beam of light being deconstructed into its component parts.
What an album! What an adventure! What a musical journey!
All songs from Dark Side of the Moon are part of the live Pulse Concert. There are also some Pulse songs from other Pink Floyd albums.
FYI. This album is played in it's entirety and in order at the Pulse concert. Use the restored and re-edited version.
You can see why this album charted for 741 weeks betweem 1973 and 1988!
I think the prism is a coincidence. Don't know for sure but never heard that suggested. I've listened to this in my teen years in my basement, headphones on, fully absorbed. I think Money is a one-off song, breaking the album in two. I've read enough Floyd bios but can't remember. The "concept" here is loosely defined and I've never considered it to be a direct narrative or story. It's more just a vibe. Life and death. A meditation on the passage of time, not a story.
You're learning that time has no meaning when it comes to listening to Pink Floyd. The one constant you hear from people who react to their music is boy that went by fast. Yes, Dick Parry here is the same Dick Parry at the end of SOYCD… that's also him at the Pulse concert and tour. He's been called the unofficial fifth member of Pink Floyd.
Though "Brain Damaged" is inspired by Syd (this is the one song on the album Roger sings himself), its meaning has universal applications for all of us. This is the beauty and genius of how Roger writes. He uses the personal to make sweeping life observations that we all can relate to. Don't try to bring everything specifically back to Syd. There is political commentary in the song as well that you will pick up on. And Eclipse is about us all!!
The music and lyrics of this album will stick with you and evolve over years and decades to come. It is why it has remained so much in the psyche of music lovers for generations.
"And if the dam breaks open many years too soon. And if there is no room upon the hill,
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon"
Dick Parry suona il sax 🎷 anche nel Live PULSE
Dick Parry is on this album and is in Pulse; as well as many live events, however, PF has used at least 4 others that I can think of.
I think it's basic primer on how to love rather than want.
It's a Bible for modern life.
Money – points out the absurdity of extreme wealth while others suffer extreme poverty.
Us & Them – is the most chill anti war song.
Any Colour You Like – the title refers to "false choices" any colour when in reality everything is blue.
Brain Damage – the darkness that took Syd and can take anyone. Loonies and Lunatic from Lunar meaning "of the Moon"
Eclipse again everything you have can be taken eventually.
The perfect ending.
The final recorded voice "There is no Dark Side of the Moon really matter of fact its all dark" actually went on to say "…. the only thing that makes it light is the sun" but this was chopped off as is was deemed "too upbeat".
An absolute masterpiece, charted for over 17 YEARS and is probably the most discussed and analysed album ever recorded!
This album was followed by the album Wish You Were Here an homage to Syd which you have already started S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond 1-5
Next comes
Welcome to the Machine
Have a Cigar
Wish You Were Here
S hine on Y ou crazy D iamond 6-9
The Prism. The band asked hypnosis to do some bold simple and eye catching artwork.
They presented several options (quite alot of work put into some of the other options) but all the band members straight away said "I want that one".
BTW early Floyd were quite happy to hide in the shadows and behind a light show on stage. Arguing the music should take centre focus with a light show as the audience might want something to look at.
The DSOTM album cover, like several other Pink Floyd album covers, doesn't have band members pictures or even the name of the band on the front!
its basically a theater piece about life in the modern world, youth, time, growing old, death, grieving , greed, money, war, madness, both medical and/or drug induced,,,,life in the modern world,,
I think Us and Them is not just about war but about the haves and the have nots, the powerful and the powerless, the rich and the poor in a class based economic system the benefits for the wealthy and the consequences for the' ordinary man' of these divisions.
Ran home frome the store with this album the dsy it arrived. Wish it was my first time again. You can imagine the impact. Still listening. Keep on my friend.
You just been to church.
During the 1994 Pulse concert Pink Floyd plays Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety in order!!
I do remember during this concert tour everybody saying how great the U2 concert was Michael Jackson and on and on and all these other concerts. I would always laugh to myself and know that sooner or later this 94 Pulse concert tour would be vindicated and I think it's starting to live up to being the greatest concert from beginning to end that's ever been put on! I say that because I've seen Michael Jackson, Metallica, Genesis, Yes, Paul McCartney, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen and just about every major group you can think of and in seeing about 100 concerts in my lifetime I've never seen a better concert than Pink Floyd puts on!!!!! And I've seen Pink Floyd four times in three different decades, twice in the 70s once in 87 and this 94 Pulse concert!
Really enjoyed the reaction. More please.
My children, grandchildren and now my great grandchildren listen to this album with me. This album was a huge part of my teenage years and still today!! Young people are shocked when they come to my house with one of my grandchildren and realize I'm jamming out to Pink Floyd!! This is the greatest album ever made and still today it doesn't disappoint!!
The Animals album is something you might enjoy but have the lyrics on screen. It's their best work.
This is the album of Life!.. birth, death , pressure and expectation , money ,old age and freedom of choice , mental illness and war
Live at the 1994 Pulse Concert is the BEST live performance of the ENTIRE DSOTM album Pink Floyd has ever done imo! Not the Wembley version.
No, the prism does not represent Syd Barrett, the Prism design was designed for The Dark Side Of The Moon album cover in 1973. Syd Barrett had nothing to do with the design.
The artwork was a design made for the band by Storm Thorgerson's legendary design agency, Hipgnosis. Thorgerson was also a friend of the band.
Here is a quote about the design,…
"The image of the enigmatic prism reflecting beams of light into deep space, parallels the bands complex sound world and their lyrical interplay between science and mysticism".
The live version of "Money" at the Pulse Concert is off the charts!
Yes, "Brain Damage" is about Syd. In fact in one lyric in the song is a direct reference to Syd Barrett. the lyric is, ….
"And If The Band You're IN Starts Playing Different Tunes, I'll See You On The Dark Side Of The Moon".
When Sid was having serious issues performing live, and David Gilmour was onstage playing with him, Syd would sometimes just start going off out of tune and start playing a different song than the song the band was playing. Exactly what that lyric is referencing.
It's a good thing Gilmour was there.
DSOTM is known as the greatest Rock album of all time, by many Rock critics, and a massive fan base.
The prism originally meant nothing….. it was simply one of the many designs offered for the record cover……..BUT, the whole band immediately chose it without any real regard for the other designs.
Now we all give it our own meaning.
I see it as representing life……
Life giving light ( warmth and energy ) goes in, and emerges as the rainbow of diversity.
Side 1 …….. life from an almost ethereal view, from the viewpoint of self…… wonder in the womb , pain of reality and work (?) and then NOTHING ( death ).
Side 2……… life as it is in a corrupted world…….greed, power, discrimination and conformity.
Money is clearly greed.
Us and Them about our personal self and distrust of others.
It is ME, the perfect or you, the inferior.
War is not the theme, merely an example of the human condition fuelled by self importance and greed.
The rest appears to meld towards the truth and uses sarcasm to highlight a better truth or ideal.
To me it sarcastically highlights the truth of how the gangsters and criminals of government use society and religion to keep us in control like good mindless socialist vegetables.
Drugs sent Syd over to the mental dark side, but back then if a normal peasant or unwanted wife refused to conform…… they could be institutionalised and fed shock treatment UNTIL they were really nuts.
I love the sarcasm in Rogers lyrics and the often misinterpreted meanings.
From Wish You Where Here…….
“ Did YOU exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage “
Many people were angered by these words…… not what we expect from Roger and PF.
But really, do you want to conform to the dictates of gangster governments and church…… or fight the war for freedom and honesty ?
What you thought was reverb, might have been, in fact reverb. i think it might have been an EchoPlex tape recorder effect. The echoes and reverb were possible with the EP. I had a Roland RE-501 which was great, but the EP could let you loop in long segements
eclipse was played after the olympic flame was lit. london 2012. its a f… masterpiece of a song. there is a video: London 2012 Opening Ceremony – Pink Floyd "Eclipse" Fireworks Part
1:46 I think it is Overdrive + Tremolo
