chrisjpainter Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Single greatest album ever made. My biggest mistake in life was being born in 1985, so missed out on it first time round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Sky Arts channel only appeared on Freeview 11 quite recently and has shown many interesting music and film star programmes, concerts, gigs, life stories etc. Been recording loads of it,,,, but can't find the time to watch it all 🤣 Most of it is very interesting and nostalgic 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) Well this programme was great to watch every other time I have seen it! The Progressive Rock programme with Noddy Holder is good too! Edited November 20, 2020 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Heron Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I was lucky enough to meet Nick Mason at a vintage car racing event at Oulton Park many years ago nice bloke to talk to about his cars he was working on his type 35 Bugatti at the time I bought dark side of the moon when it came out but lost it somewhere over the years.

NatureBoy Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Fantastic Album! . . .My x faience was in one of the top Pink Floyd tribute bands. Met after one of their Suffolk gigs. Their first set was always Darkside Of The Moon. Blonde in little black dress blowing a mean sax in the spotlight soon got my attention. When she sung Great Gig In The Sky (good a Claire Torrie) i got goose bumps! I was in LOVE! Never tired of many gigs listening, watching her and them practice/perform. Or the ordnance's stunned reaction (some in tears) every time she sung Great Gig. Be it a pub, hall, festival or stadium gig! Totally AWSOME! . . Roger Waters Contacted and congratulated them after one show. . . She always reminded me my chat up line when we met in front of everyone as they were going was simply "I wana take you Home" and she said "NO! But give me your number". We snogged, the crowed cheered, the band were shocked, (thought she a lesbian) and she was gone. She rang late one night after a gig a week later and we talked all night! She proposed to me a few months later and wanted to move to Suffolk. Sadly we weren't last. Our Rock n Roll dream didn't come true!😉 Great memories! Great gig still gets me. . . . . Wherever she is i hope she's happy! . . . . Another one for the book. NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocette Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Leeds Town Hall 28 Jan 1972. From what I recall Dark Side Of The Moon was the first quad sound concert I'd heard. Astonishing how the music seemed to race around the venue causing some disorientation to the audience ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Sky Arts or Sky Documentaries, I can’t recall which, there was a programme about him and his cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yates Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Never heard a note from this album. I’ll now have to Spotify it and give it a go. Hopefully you all won’t be talking nostalgic ******** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
