PINK FLOYD PLAYS THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON - 50th ANNIVERSARY

This unique version of "The Dark Side Of The Moon" consists of a medley of music taken from rare 1972 studio tracks together with some 1974 BBC archive recordings. I've added visual effects and transitions for emotional effect and hopefully complement the soundtrack.

"The Dark Side of the Moon" was Pink Floyd's eighth studio album and staged as a single extended piece rather than a collection of songs. Undeniably special, it has been applauded as an iconic record that has stood the test of time.

It was recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios between May 1972 and January 1973. Released on 1 March 1973 “The Dark Side of the Moon” tackled weighty themes of greed, conflict, religion, mortality and mental illness.

A landmark record in every respect, including its now iconic prism sleeve (courtesy of Storm Thorgerson). “The Dark Side of the Moon” transformed Pink Floyd from ambitious art-house hipsters to international superstars, while influencing virtually every rock band over the past fifty years.

“There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact it’s all dark.” What does it all mean? Arguably everything and nothing, and therein lies the true genius of Pink Floyd and “The Dark Side Of The Moon.”
