[Music] Dark Side of the moon

[Shropshire Seagull]

At a minor tangent, a pedant writes:

There is no more a Dark Side of the Moon then there is a dark side of Earth.
All sides of the moon will see sunlight during it's 28 day orbit of Earth.
However, there is a blind side of the moon to Earth dwellers.
This is because the moon rotates at the same rate as its orbital rotation which means the moon keeps the same face to Earth.

Anyway, back to the music ....

I have it in quadrophonic and I naivly assumed if I attached two more speakers, it would play in quadrophonic. To this day I have never met anybody who had a quadrophonic amp set up. I believe it was available on one of those DTS 5.1 cds a few years ago.
I can confirm when they played Earls Court in 1980 performing The Wall, that was definitely in quadrophonic. Hearing " YOU!!!!....YES YOU LADDIE!!!..STAND STILL LADDIE!!!, and then the helicopter effect bouncing around the 4 sides of Earls Court was something very special.

Not if it's factual

what’s happened to kick that off?

RW being everything she accuses him of. Particularly in recent interviews

I think this article/interview maybe kicked off the comments from Polly.

Check out the last few years.
She's thoroughly right

The Wall is their zenith, shoulda stopped there, everything after was bilge, never understood why Gilmour kept dragging it on, especially that endless river shite he released a few years ago

Not so my friend - the sun shines on the Moon the same it does for Earth, so always 50% is in sunlight and 50% is in darkness at any one moment in time - eclipses not withstanding ...

Not if it's true.
