I have not listened to them for more than 5 minutes for decades. I would rather listen to nothing than WCSX and most other local ...

Re: "The Dark Side Of The Moon" turns 50

I saw them at Cobo on 3/5/1973 do the Dark Side of the Moon tour. At that time it was the biggest arena they had ever played in.
