Editorial Review:
The most phenomenal recording in rock & roll history is thoroughly examined in Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon. The Floyd's 1973 masterpiece remained on bestseller charts for nearly 14 years, and its enduring importance is honored here by all four members of Pink Floyd and key personnel (engineer Alan Parsons, mixing supervisor Chris Thomas, sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson, and others) who played essential roles in the landmark album's creation. Produced for the Classic Albums series that originally aired on VH-1, this thorough and thought-provoking study highlights a track-by-track dissection of the LP's master tapes (including the spoken-word passages that bookend the album), superbly interlaced with archival footage, early demo tapes, concert animations, and latter-day acoustic performances by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright to demonstrate each track's contribution to the final mix--a sonic exploration that extends to the illuminating bonus features. Informative interviews abound (including Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke), and much-deserved credit is given to saxophonist Dick Parry, solo vocalist Clare Torry, and former Capitol Records chairman Bhaskar Menon, who fostered the album's U.S. commercial success. For Floyd fans, musicians, and studio technicians alike, this is a must-have addition to any DVD library. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - The making of The Dark Side
This movie was ok but compared to some of there other videos, it was not the greatest.
Rating: - Pink Genius
This DVD takes you behind the scenes and lets you see the genius of Pink Floyd. After a short intro of what Pink Floyd was up to before "Dark Side Of The Moon", the bandmembers tell the story of how they made the greatest album in history. They walk you through each song, letting you know how the musical and lyrical ideas came about. You find out what instruments were used for particular sections of the album. The most interesting part, for me, was finding out about the "talking" you hear when you listen to ... Read More
Rating: - Behind the scenes and back in memory
