I saw the Dark Side of the Moon concert live back in 1975 here in Montreal. It was one of my first concerts and still one of the best (what I can remember of it anyways )

Also saw The Wall and Animals tours.

Anyways, I hope you are all enjoying your summer like weather. Here's the view from my office window today. It's going to be a while before that white stuff melts.

It definitely is not my favorite view ... Alex … maybe Florida is better …

I have seen only a TV version of “The Dark side of the moon” … beginning with “Crazy diamond”

I'm sorry, they are Pink Floyd albums.

It feels like I'm in a comfortable little prison every day

This is not actually filmed in Montreal but it was my favorite song from the Dark Side of the Moon Tour.

Just got back from camping on the beach last night

But that picture of snow makes me miss snow. Honestly, I miss cold weather. Around here, it's either 80 and gorgeous out, or 75 and raining out.

Why is liver recipe a tag on this thread? Hah...

You are right Austin … my searching machine has misled looking for a rock group name instead album name … speaking about Pink Floyd, I can not understand well what does it mean “comfortably numb” …

Hey Jake7! You nose out the liver aroma and you run into the pub … WELL COME !!! ... You are lucky on your paradise island … if you need a cool – I think, a cup of gin – tonic would work (cool gin 20 deg. C below 0) … 2006 there was a possibility for me to be in a tropic island for a while somewhere south from Florida, but the chance was not by my side …

Our camp on the beach last summer ....

In this context, it is a metaphor for drug usage and dealing with burdens of everyday life.


Note from the movie, this is the scene where the protagonist Pink overdoses.

Roger Waters was not fan, but even in the context of the album, the allegory holds true.

It's a world epidemic. The 90's brought to light the dangers of heroin and cocaine, and in the process,made them a staple of many of our subcultures.

They are just a prevalent as ever, if not more accepted. Oddly enough,it seems our media has lost a lot of their interest in hard drugs, with the majority of their drug stories being tied into the Medical Marijuana debate the US and most of the west are having.
