🎼6 March 1946. Happy Birthday 🀟πŸ₯³πŸΎ to Mr. David Gilmour, born in Cambridge, England. He doesn't need much presentation, he is one of the few guitarist anyone can tell immediately after 1 note... it's him ! πŸŽΈπŸ‘
He will always have an indelible liason with Venice, due to the (in)famous Pink Floyd free concert in front of St. Mark in 1989 and being accused by the police to have destroyed the city... after the City called them to play πŸ™ˆ
I will write about this on July 15 (the anniversary), but to give an idea of the substance of the man I will share this video of him in Venice when he came for his solo concert in 2006...

πŸ“€ The Dark Side of the Moon
#Rock #ProgressiveRock #PsychedelicRock

50 years ago Pink Floyd from London, #UK released their 8th studio album.

A concept developed in previous years, produced by #PinkFloyd under the supervision of #ChrisThomas and #AlanParsons, the album was an immediate success, marking their worldwide breakthrough and becoming the highest selling record of all 1970s. It remained in US charts until 1988, the longest permanence ever!

Lirycal themes include conflict, greed, consumerism, time passing, death, insanity, the latter inspired by former band mate #SydBarrett mental state.

The album contains #MusiqueConcrete elements and the heavenly wordless vocals on "The Great Gig in the Sky" by #ClareTorry (brought in by Parsons).

#DavidGilmour – vocals, guitars, Synth
#NickMason – drums, percussion
