Pink Floyd - Money (Recorded at Live 8)

**50TH ANNIVERSARY OF PINK FLOYD‘S ‘THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON’. OUT MARCH 24**
Announcing the release of Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ as a deluxe box set to celebrate 50 years since the release of one of the best-selling albums of all time. Newly remastered, the box set released on 24th March 2023.

One of the most iconic and influential albums ever, Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ continues to find new audiences globally. The album was partly developed during live performances, and the band premiered an early version of the suite at London’s Rainbow Theatre several months before recording began. ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ is the eighth studio album by Pink Floyd, originally released in the US on 1 March and then in the UK on 16th March 1973. The new material was recorded in 1972 and 1973 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road studios) in London. The iconic sleeve, which depicts a prism spectrum, was designed by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis and drawn by George Hardie. ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ has sold over 50 million copies worldwide.

The new deluxe box set includes CD and gatefold vinyl of the new 2023 remastered studio album and Blu-Ray + DVD audio featuring the original 5.1 mix and remastered stereo versions. The set also includes additional new Blu-ray disc of Atmos mix plus CD and LP of ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon - Live At Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974’. For full details see listing below.

**'THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON - LIVE AT WEMBLEY EMPIRE POOL, LONDON, 1974’**
Simultaneously, on 24th March, the CD and first ever vinyl issue of Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon - Live At Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974’ will be released independently. It was originally recorded in November 1974 as part of the band’s winter tour and this is the first time it will be available as a stand-alone album, with artwork featuring an original 1973 line-drawn cover by George Hardie.

The worst part of this performance is the lack of Rick Wright footage. Seriously he went all out getting funky with the keys.

[metallon]

What an iconic moment that was!!! The reunion of the century, even if it only was for 4 songs!!!

"Money...so they say
Is the root of all evil today"
Pink Floyd conveyed, through their songs, the real sense of life.

[RCAvhstape]

Roger, playing bass for Pink Floyd. As is proper.

[EyeShotFirst]

Best part of all, Dick Parry the original saxophonist on the record, wailing on that solo here.

[naumankhawaja]

What a clever iconic shot at 03:00. Gave me goosebumps.

[bluorangefyre]

What I loved about the Live 8 performance was that it was Pink Floyd as stripped down as it had been in decades. Just the four of them, with minimal help from one or two extra musicians as needed. Even the light show was basically non-existent. Too bad that we never got to see the classic lineup afterwards (we'd see The Final Cut lineup very briefly six years later).

[jayquanvo]

It’s such a shame that Roger and David can’t get along. Amazing live performance. It looks like both of them are so in the zone musically and enjoy every moment.

[kevinr.]

so they hadn't played together in years, they're in their 60s, they're being watched live by millions, and they go up there and totally shred the song like it's 1972. Everything sounds crisp and tight. David's voice is seriously musical honey. Talk about smooth! He has only matured like fine wine. They all have, really. These guys had chemistry that was unmatched and for that reason it is such a shame they broke up in 83. What a waste.

[PinkFloydBootlegs]

Live 8 is cool and all, but I'd love to see the Animals soundboards to be released. Or The Wall footage. Either or would be better than The Later Years.

[ftwtf]

I would like to say that we continue to hate the director for omitting Richard Wright too much throughout the show >:(

[Dub]

I’ve seen Roger do his Us and them Tour 2 years ago, I’ve seen Nick do his tour earlier this year. Unfortunately have yet to see Dave, David do one more tour I beg of you! I think I’d actually be complete at that point. RIP Richard <3

[moglizzy]

I watch this video 3-5 times a day and it never gets old !

[elconquistador]

1973. A sophomore in high school and I discovered Pink Floyd! Love them.

[flops]

This is great. After Roger left I think the band gained a lot in terms of pure musicianship, and seeing that united with Roger here really shows what could have been...

[kevycanavan]

How tight is that when the main riff comes in again after the solo section? They hadn’t played that song in 30 years together and it’s just like glue.

[facu_avm]

This is the best version of Money ever.

[basultobd]

Oh men, that sax, absolutely delicious!

[eugenelebedev]

They were showing the whole Live 8 concert on Myspace at the time. Once they came on my whole family gathered and watched it live in front of a small computer screen. I miss Myspace.

This performance has written the history.
