Happy 47th Birthday, Dark Side of the Moon

As I do every year on this day, I want to pause for a brief moment to consider the glory of one of the best albums ever recorded: Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. Wikipedia says that it was actually released on March 1, 1973 but I’ve been using March 10 for years—I no longer remember why—and will continue the tradition.

Last year, I embedded a video of the Brain Damage/Eclipse set that ends the album. I and most other folks consider it the jewel of the album but two other cuts, Money and Time were the single hits. Here, from Live 8 in 2005, is the entire band, reunited for the first time in 24 years, doing Money. It was the last time they ever appeared together. Enjoy one of the best rock bands in history.
