Pink Floyd -  Dark Side of the Moon (1973)

The Making of The Dark Side of The Moon in studio.

Developed during live performances, an early version was premiered several months before recording began; new material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at Abbey Road in London. The group used some advanced recording techniques at the time, including multitrack recording and tape loops. Analogue synthesizers were prominent in several tracks

https://youtu.be/dj4_-kh-Kpg :

Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released in March 1973. It built on ideas explored in the band's earlier recordings and live shows, but lacks the extended instrumental excursions that characterised their work following the departure in 1968 of founder member, principal composer and lyricist, Syd Barrett. The Dark Side of the Moon's themes include conflict, greed, the passage of time, and mental illness, the latter partly inspired by Barrett's deteriorating mental state.

The Summer of Love Experience & How Hippies Changed the World (documentaries)

The Summer of Love Experience

https://youtu.be/SnJGYjuNBCE

=================================================================

The Summer of Love How Hippies Changed the World Series.

The first episode looks at how ideas, music and lifestyles from Asia, Europe and the American Left became entwined in California. It traces the roots of the hippies back to a 19th-century German sect of wandering naturalists called Lebensreform who brought their freethinking ideas about nature to California after the Second World War. There they merged with a growing interest in Eastern mystical concepts of human nature imported to America by maverick British thinkers like Aleister Crowley and Aldous Huxley. Add to this mix a wonder drug first developed by the CIA called LSD and a wave of student activists and anti-war protestors agitating for revolution and you have the astonishing story how these forces came together to give birth to the Summer of Love in San Francisco, 1967.

Judee Sill (documentary, BBC Radio 2014)

The Lost Genius of Judee Sill  (Documentary: BBC Radio 2014)

Ruth Barnes delves into the extraordinary story of the musician Judee Sill.

The first act signed to David Geffen's Asylum Records in the early 1970s, Judee Sill produced two astonishingly beautiful albums in her lifetime.

Seemingly emerging from the Laurel Canyon scene, her music wove a diverse tapestry of influences - from gospel piano to Bach, rhythm and blues to country, forty-part vocal harmonies blending into piano ballads...

So why did Judee Sill disappear from view? Ruth Barnes traces Judee's peculiar life story - hearing tales of armed robberies, reform school and addiction, alongside musical invention and heartstopping songs.

With contributions from family, friends, lovers and devotees of her music including JD Souther, XTC's Andy Partridge, Jim Pons, Tommy Peltier and 'Whispering' Bob Harris.

Producer: Eleanor McDowall
A Falling Tree Production for BBC Radio 4

Classmate remembers Janis Joplin on what would have been her 70th birthday week (documentary)

PORT ARTHUR- By: Leslie Rangel


Port Arthur's iconic Janis Joplin would be celebrating her 70th birthday this week (19 januari 2013)  if she were still alive. A former classmate of Joplin spoke with KFDM News about her younger years and her life in the spotlight.

None of us ever knew who would be successful and who would not be, but Janice had an ability to sing. We knew that because she would sing folk music, Sam Monroe, president of Port Arthur State College said. 
Monroe tells KFDM news they never really knew who would be successful from their class, but like many artists, Joplin started small. 

I heard her sing at what we used to call a hootenanny, Monroe says. 
Monroe and Joplin were classmates and friends from kindergarten through high school. Monroe says Joplin was a star student, editor of the school newspaper, a writer and an artist. He says Jopin's love for music changed her. 
We don't think of folk music as being counter culture today, but in that day and time, it was sort of a protest style of music, Monroe remembers. 

Joplin was often seen wearing what others called rebellious fashion. Her home in Port Arthur on 32nd St. still stands and now has a historical marker in the front yard. Monroe says she would have loved it. 
She would write or call her mother and say 'There was a feature on me today in the Washington Post, Do you think the Port Arthur News would carry it?' She wanted to be recognized in Port Arthur and she has been since 1988, Monroe says. 

Janis Joplin died more than 40 years ago, but Monroe says he will always remember his friend and school mate. 
The Museum of the Gulf Coast has a permanent Janis Joplin exhibit on display, Sunday, museum curators will open a new exhibit featuring more Joplin memories as part of the International Pop Music Festival.
