  • the audience look stoned as shit

  • Rick Wright is a genios, his chord changes blow my mind. Im a jazz lover too

  • I love David, Roger, Rick and Nick. David and Rick gave us fantastic chords.

  • fantastic part of most fantastic music.

  • 00:30...Rick is so influential (and under noticed) to Pink Floyd's sound, that the idea of "firing" him during "The Wall" because he was making no contributions (according to Herr Marshall Waters) still makes me angry...

  • @SolarTiger why? they fired syd for doing nothing as well... I mean if you come together to make an album and don't contribute I'm sure the ones who are get pissed... btw I love syd and rick so Im not saying they ever should have lol!

  • the genius of men!

  • Pink Floyd were a one of a kind band. No one will ever be able to touch the timeless music they released. The Dark Side of the Moon is space rock at its best. Lots of the live footage and screen films are included on the DSOTM Immersion set. Which is one kick ass set for long time Floyd fans or someone relatively new to the band.Great documentary covering one of the many brilliant albums of the 70's.

  • R.I.P. Richard Wright. Thank you Pink Floyd for all the timeless music!

  • this gave me an EARGASM! pink floyd is seriously the best !!!

  • wasnt ELP doing this before Pink Floyd?

  • Can anyone please clarify this for me?

    How does David make that sound at 9:17??

    Is it an effect, or a guitar technique?

    My God, these guys were unique...

  • @marcunni24 yes, if you mean the loud screechy thing. It's a technique called pinch harmonics,very popular during the 70's. what you do is crank up the distortio, hit the note, and then sort of hit again with your thumb.

  • @marcunni24

    Thats a guitar playing technique : simply put, the string bending...

    David Gilmour gives a good example how a string is bent and get rich sounds of it...He also uses good distortion while he bends...He uses thick strings ( 0.10 to 0.50 signature set ) and tube amps to get his rich and colorful tones ...

  • -▲=

  • These guys are EASILY as good as composers as The Beatles. I love the Beatles but am totally '

    "Beatled Out' thats all they talk about here in North America,but I'm here to challenge anyone to tell me that Pink Floyd were not brilliant songwriters!

    RIP Rick!

  • (8:28) I don't know if Pink Floyd allows mosh pits, but it really wouldn't be appropriate, this kind of music is to "stop and listen"

  • 8:50 Liza Strike looks scary 0_0

  • I love David Gilmour

  • Gods of rock!!

  • Rick <3

  • They are like old wizards of rock.

  • the lead break for Time must be one of the greatest solos in the history of music

    ....that shit is seriously soaring .....I've listened to it a million times and every single time it lifts my soul up so fuckin high I totally forget about life for those precious few seconds of bliss

  • The David 's face =Leonardo di Caprio face ! Absolute .... 

  • I bow down to the epic success of this video(obviously riding on the success of DSOTM). I pray at the holy church of Floyd everyday, and this gets me off quicker than 2 hookers giving hand-jobs.... 9:10.... dear god words fail me, im gona play 9:10 onwards... over and over

  • As a fervent Floyd fan myself, I hate to burst everyone's bubble when I say that it was Delia Derbyshire who beat David Gilmour at being an earlier DJ.

  • "Dave was brilliant at doubletracking vocals. You could do it with machines but there was a difference"

    Yeah - these guys had skills that didnt require a vocal auto-tuner. They actually took prode in their work and had REAL talent and took the time to get it engineered properly. This is real art.

  • @Nikkodemis Spot on, man

  • Does anybody know the chord that Rick is on about? D#7?

  • @JackyRowe Yes. The track in question is Miles Davis - Blue In Green.

  • just image what if like gilmore never got into drums or waters into bass or nick into drums what if the floyd never existed.... my life would be meaningless lol

  • breathe is the best song on the album, which means its pretty damn good

  • 0:15 , i wanna do it with that note

    0:48 , that one too

    3:02 , Sounds kinda jazz-like

    9:22 , i'll do both those two notes

  • Alan parsons will probably go down as the best mixing engineer of all time just on the basis of this!!!

  • @Akshay8585 im doing a speech on him tomorrow arguing just that!!

  • 1:36. That is how an adience should be.

  • The best ever album recorded.

  • thanks for posting this documentary

  • Alan Parsons is cool!!!

  • 08:48 lets hear it for the girls ... 

  • It will be interesting to see if any of today's so-called artists will make anything remotely as good as this. I wonder if Westlife will have an album that will be in the charts for over 700 weeks? This is a timeless classic, not mindless rubbish sung by manufactured, talentless robots. There may never be another concept album made like Sgt. Pepper's, Tommy, Dark Side, The Wall. The creative process is fascinating as is the insight into the album given by the guys.

  • 1:39 Boring music

  • @TheANDY1911 , dude everybody is stoned at 1:39

  • @TheANDY1911 they're actually listening to the music. not just screaming and jumping around drinking beer and getting pissed.

  • @kermicheo yeah theyr good fans. but u cant deny theyr stoned. its pink floyd in the early 70's of course they were stoned

  • @TheANDY1911

    Prog isn't meant to be jumped around to. It's meant to be an experience.

  • This music transcends words, space and time in my opinion; it is an ethereal collection of sounds pieced together by a universal fabric only known to geniuses of the past.

  • wouldn't the matching video and audio of the descending keyboard playing at 3:24 indicate that some pro-shot footage of Dark Side Of The Moon exists?

  • No it doesn't. The live clips in this program are actually of them performing Careful With That Axe Eugene and Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, which appeared in a concert film called Sounds Of City (aka Rock City). This footage has just been cleverly edited here to make it appear (almost) like it's footage of them playing the Dark Side Of The Moon material.

  • @Kohntarkosz the live clip segments you see on The Travel Sequence are not from Careful or Set The Controls. When you have time scroll through both of the latter videos and you'll see for yourself. I did. There is also another Pink Floyd documentary, the name fails me, that also has different footage than from Careful or Set the Controls

  • back in the day david gilmour looked a lot of like jesus..hahah

  • Out of all the Floyd members, i think Rick is the smartest musician. Jazz is very complex and he mixed it in with Pink Floyd very well. Great stuff!

  • wow. inspiring!

  • David may be my inspiration, but if i ever get into keys Richard will be my roots, God Bless that man.

  • which 2 people disliked this album...WHO? this is fucked up...

  • It was the first rock record i listened to in 1974 and the best i´ve ever had!!!

  • R.I.P Rick Wright. Man it's hard to watch him talk here

  • Aging sure blows!

  • at 8:32 the audience looks fucked up...tripping their balls off

  • technically(at that time) ,by concept ,quality of music... YES THE BEST ALBUM EVER MADE!

  • Pink Floyd was way ahead of their time. Futuristic cave musicians if you will with skill

  • And what is that blues chord anyway ?

  • I like all this interesting footage of them playing live and in the studio.

  • RIP Rick.

  • @SuperPinheadMan You're right, but the Miles Davis track the chord is taken from is called "All Blues" ;)

  • Time is such an amazing track. OMG.

  • David looks like my granddad when playing with the sequencer :-D

  • @SuperPinheadMan  YES!!! U have the right name!!! BLUES is the MOTHER of JAZZ,ROCK,COUNTRY,REGGAE....,E­TC,ETC,ETC.....SO GO RESEARCH!!! HOLLA!!!

  • After hearing their music for ~35yrs, I have come to realize their musical brilliance.

  • @ 9:11, I shat my pants when i heard the slide. its that awesome.

  • I don't understand why the guitar solo from 'Time' is so underapreciated.

  • @marcingrochala1 not underappreciated by me. all guitar solos that pink floyd ever created are amazingly beautiful.

  • @csladyhawke I mean people always talk about Comfortably Numb solo, Another Brick in the Wall etc. and Time is not mentioned so often

  • when i'm on my death bed, dark side, wish you were here and division bell will be the last albums i want to be listening to. Gotta love pink

  • Awesomw zyruemusic

  • wats the jazz chord that rick plays on breathe?

  • How can Gilmours guitar looks so clean? Its way older than my guitar who looks way more dirty

  • @ZynadeTV, lol u just gotta clean it man, especially the fret board, may not mean much to the appearance but it ud be suprised how major a difference a clean fretboard makes to the sound. I bought this guitar off a friend that sounded like absolute shit till i got some of that guitar polish shit and polished the fretboard now it sounds fukn brilliant. Wow im really shit faced right now, damm ur question, drew me away from watching pink floyd vids not cool man,

    peace

  • @JerrySeinfeld666 I do clean it. But It's a bit hard

  • It's just so beautiful. I wanna cry.

  • what synth is on 4:00 ?

  • @roGLUB

    EMS Synthi A

  • I might sound like an idiot for this but what is the Miles Davis chord at 1:26 Rick mentions. I am trying to get into jazz and i love that part in Breathe.

  • the audience doesn't seem happy.

  • It's Kicking around on a ETC !!

  • picking around on a piece of ground in your home town

    has to be one of my favorite lines from any song

  • @ kermichio, no offence or anything, but if you know anything about the 70's or raised durig the 70's era, the synthesyser really went great with their music and the way they play it all in their music. It was a time of change, drugs, etc. but also coming together. hope that enlightens you. no puns. :-)

  • David's voice has remained as magically the same

  • very cool...

  • that on the run live version is awesome. they should have just did it that way instead of using the dumb synthesiser. all the instruments in the live version just flow. it's just stunning.

  • @kermicheo Couldn't disagree more. Respectfully disagree that is. "On the run" has gone down as one of the most classic synth tracks of all time. VERY GROUNDBREAKING! I also feel that it adds MUCH more tension than that little "travel section." Great Gig in the Sky and Any Colour You Like are great transitional songs that feature jam-like sections. No need for another one. The synth/effects brings something new to the album and really adds that tension haunting piece of sonic experimentation.

  • @busch028 when i listen to on the run in a dark room laying on my back, it messes with my mind.

  • haha audience is tripped out.

  • 4:26 who would of though gilmore was the first dj ever lol

  • @funkydankspliff Well Jimmy Page was the first person to DJ with a guitar...and a violin bow!

  • Excuse me ,What does this have to do with the vid?

  • Does anybody know what kind of effects David is using at 9:15? Can anybody describe what kind of distortion, reverb, etc could make it sound like that? I've been trying to figure it out for a really long time.

  • why does it matter? its just a light delay with an overdrive amp.

    most of his tone comes from his phrasing especially his bends and vibrato...if you want to sound like Dave so much then study that its far more important.

  • try the PROCO RAT2 pedal.

  • @Natemckenney Well I would almost certainly say that is just some delay with his Tube Driver going straight into the amp. the delay could have been added post production as well...but not likely.

  • definitely their best work

  • Man, I would do so much for the master tapes they play in the video.

    Thanks for the upload!

  • amazing how rw talks about chord sequences, ect. little touches make all the difference......

  • Pink Floyd, masters of the synthesizer =P

    David was so adorable in his glasses!

  • David is the new trance DJ! :D

  • @Eirikguitar he's the old trance dj... they did it first

  • what a pedal board !!!

  • Im gonna say that for me this is the most beautiful, enchanted, moving, malinconic and touching album of all time,, this album gave me felling like any other albums before, for me this is way better then the wall,, I mean the simplicity in this album..its incredible..its so simple but still even complicated to understand...Dark Side 4ever..this is my opinion, u people can say that is not better then the wall and so on,,just dont critisize this masterpice of Rock!!!

  • I have to agree with you I personally Love The Dark Side Of The Moon so much! From the start to finish its a masterpiece.

  • The greatest progressive rock album ever made and one of the ten best albuns ever made in music of any genre ( and I'm talking of rock, jazz, tango, reggae, samba, polka, pop, opera and what you want).

    Superb.

  • Not bad. Not as good as The Wall though. Best progressive album? Are you saying that because it's the only progressive album you've heard? What about Red? Close to the edge? Trick of the tail?

  • In fact I've heard circa 50 or 60 progressive rock albuns, including great german (Focus), italians (Premiata Forneria Marconi) and brazilian (O Terço) bands of the 70's, bands that probably you've never heard about.

    Cheers.

  • I have heard of all of those bands. But i would say that it's generally a British movement. I don't really class Pink Floyd as a Progressive band. Have you heard of Van der graaf generator? Pawn hearts is their greatest album.

  • obc, umm, med, ahm?

  • Focus are Dutch, not German. You're knowledgeable aren't you?

  • Que maravilla, que pureza sinceramente los mejores de la historia lo hay mas que hablar. Saludos todos los Pinkfloydianos

  • Most enjoyable thanks for posting

  • 8:30  everyone looks soo stoned

    or trippin hard

  • i love the guitar intro part from the travel section

  • could someone tell me which effect pedal david used for breathe

    it sounds totally amazing ...

  • it's a combination of pedals, but you can get a pretty damn close effect using an Electro Harmonix Small Stone pedal. I have one - and it sounds fantastic. Signal killer though.

  • WHOOOO!!! Did yall hear what the brotha said at 0:52!! Its ALL BLUES BABY!!! The lick was a MILES DAVIS lick... If U recognize...then this is not for U this is for the HATERS that HATE the FACT that PINK FLOYD is a SON of the BLUES which makes us all FAMILY no matter if UR WHITE OR BLACK...WE ARE FAMILY!! PEACE!!

  • @zyruemusic  One of the best comments I have EVER read. Nice.

  • Comment removed

  • @gdubh Obviously U R A HATER!!!....Which one R U? A clone or a drone?

  • Comment removed

  • @gdubh Not shouting...emphasizing the point.... I C U R A DRONE...because if U were a clone U would have cussed me out by now...LMAO!!! PEACE!!

  • Comment removed

  • @gdubh U must mean fish head soup and rice because it's mighty nice with a sprig of parsley?....Is that a fact or is that your opinion because the fact is American schools teach that capitals R well within the realm of language but I believe rules were made 2 B broken...SO I BRAKE THEM!!! FUCK RULES..those R 4 DRONES LMFAO!!!

  • Comment removed

  • The live 1972 version "On The Run" is way better than the album one...

  • 0:48 - Rick and his damn jazz chords.  The reason I can't play "Breathe" right on the piano. :-P

  • it took me 2 hours one saturday night to figure that one chord out, and that was with watching this video and trying to find his finger position, quite a smart fellow Rick was

  • Figure it out, it can't be too hard.

  • 'Echoes' --- their best track ever

  • i dont know, i think Time, or The Trial

  • Nonsense.

  • Listening to Breath takes you to another dimension...

  • Yeah, and it works *without* weed. I'm tired of people saying you can only enjoy Floyd high... bullshit.

  • Not "only" but trust me - there is no better music than Pink Floyd for LSD.

  • I agree.

  • never headr dickie wright play the joahana on his own, very nice

  • time has to have the best solo ever. it's so simple, but so incredible. david gilmour is a genius. they are all brilliant. rip rick

  • Strongly agree, gives me the chills when i hear it

  • I totally agree. It is my favorite guitar solo. If I could play guitar just to play one thing, it would be that solo.  David Gilmour is a god on guitar.

  • Lord, it must be great to be Alan Parsons. What a brilliant man.

  • the solo Gilmour does at the end of this vid is the most epic guitar piece ive ever heard. i would like to hear the entire recording, if anyone knows if it exists.

  • It's just him replaying the solo for Time. Listen to it.

  • i understand that. im wondering about that individual recording. i want to know if he played more, or is that clip it.

  • i love 2 of my favorite albums of all time are linked

  • huge respect to Miles Davis!! awesome

  • Cool explanation by Wright of that rich chord progression. Giving some of the cred to Miles shows what a pro Rick was.

  • Patrick O'Brian wrote a wonderful series of novels set in the British Navy of the early 1800s, which convey what it was like to be at the cutting edge of technology in the last days of sailing vessels.

    I'm getting a similar vibe here, regarding how the Floyd and their compadres used the recording studio in the pre-digital age. The comment about being able to tour the music before recording it, in the days before bootlegs made from hand-held recorders, is telling.

  • How lucky are we that these four guys were/are such dedicated artists willing to toil at their vision and use new technology ( primitive by today's standards ) to achieve a fantastic signature sound. This new technology was hardly a shortcut or substitution for music, but an ingredient that required even more from them in terms of melding all the layers together cohesively with more traditional instruments of sound. God, I love them!

  • I get goosebumps watching the parts where they explain how they developed different chordings, vocal parts and synth parts. I mean here they are, showing us how they created a timeless masterpiece of music. This album holds the record in the UK for the longest stay in the Top 40 for an album recorded by a group (211 weeks). It has the longest stay on the Billboard top 200 charts (741 weeks). That's right! The album actually charted for 14.25 years! Mind boggling.

  • This video was uploaded September 15, 2008. The same day in which Richard Wright died. Shine On.

  • 1:49 Thats how God looks like. That man controls the Floyd. He must be God.

  • So God is an Alan Parsons - Project? "Lazer? "

  • how did they perform on the run live

  • its mostly tapes and loops.. so live theres not much to do but stand there and look cool.

    well, i'm being unfair.. nick's doing highhat stuff, there's organ/moog parts for rick, I guess roger and dave just scratch scrpe and slide their guitars with a lot of phase or delay to make it sound wierd..

    wierdly, every floyd cover group i've seen (about 8 or 10 different ones), just seems to press play on the cd player for 'On the Run'.. i hope floyd dont do that lol.

  • All the sequenced stuff i can't do live I have on a tape deck. It's all sync-d to a click so the drummer follows that.

    But then again, I can only write singles. I can't do floyd heh.

  • lol i think it's hilarious the way rick says kind of blue

  • There's pro-shot footage of the Dark Side of The Moon right here. Now where is the rest of it? There are 2 songs from the Brighton Dome 1972 concerts available so where is the rest of the concert? I mean..it's only one of the top 5 recordings of all time so if there's video of them performing it from that era then why isn't it available?

  • I dunno...I'm still not convinced that footage is of them doing Dark Side Of The Moon. It's real easy to synch concert footage up to any piece of music you want. You can even make it seem like you've got someone singing something, if you're clever. The only bit that makes me think that this MIGHT be footage of them doing The Travelling Sequence is that bit of Rick doing the descending bit on the organ, except that what you're actually hearing sounds more like an electric piano.

  • Believe me I know all about syncing....the next thing to find out is does Rick do the descending organ in Set the Controls or Careful? If he doesn't then there you go....there is more footage of this concert that exists.

  • I answered you over in our discussion at the Brighton Dome video footage None of the footage you see in the Making of DVD comes from Careful with that Axe or Set the Controls. It's all original footage. I believe the footage you see here of David is them doing Breath - why it's the album version synced? No idea but there are no closeups of David in Careful or Set the Controls. Also after viewing those songs you'll notice the Traveling footage you see here is not on any of those clips either

  • I want to know where i can get one of those synthi a sequencers for cheap

  • do searches online some are chaep cause ther are not famouus

  • You're joking, right? You're not likely to get one of those for less than a couple thousand dollars.

  • Nice to see the great Alan Parsons giving insight.

  • MAN ILOVE

    BREATH

  • i love it when dave put on the glasses

  • i wanna synth like that

  • I believe this is the best of the Abbey Road tapes about Dark Side, as each one of them tells how it was done in pre-bootlegging days where they went into the studio and rehearsed up.

  • know any good tunes from the sonata form?

  • It's amazing how they wrote all this, it must have been so tempting to just write the standard 4/4 verse chorus bridge!

  • R.I.P Rick,R.I.P Syd PF4LIFE!!
