MOONSHINE - Pink Floyd: 50 Years Of The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd's masterwork, The Dark Side Of The Moon, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Although it remains one of the greatest studio albums of all time, Floyd's opus began life as a live performance and it went on to be toured twice in Floyd's career: once in the early to mid 1970s and again in 1994. In this special edition, we examine why the 20-year-evolution of Dark Side as a hypnotically powerful live performance was a longer and even more fascinating journey than the creation of the album itself. We also find out how the journey to The Dark Side Of The Moon shaped David Gilmour's gear choices as he strove for the signature tone we know so well today, 50 years on
