Geocache Description:


The coordinates above are not anywhere close to the cache and you will get run over if you use them.

Through the research I have done with my “Public Opinion Poll” cache I have learned that a large portion of us are Rock & Rollers. With that in mind I am planting a series of puzzle hides pertaining to some favorite Rock & Roll albums.

This cache is dedicated to Pink Floyd and their “The Dark Side of the Moon” album.
Pink Floyd, consisting of Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright released their 8th studio album “The Dark Side of the Moon” in 1973. It immediately became a success becoming #1 on Billboards Top LPs & Tapes chart. It then continued to stay on the charts for a total of 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988 and selling over 50 million copies becoming one of the best selling albums worldwide.

Many of the tracks on the album had innuendos to things that make people mad, the pressures the band faced during their demanding lifestyle and the apparent mental problems suffered of former member Syd Barrett.

Just before the release of “The Dark Side of the Moon” the band discovered that the title was already in use by another band, Machine Head. They decided to change the album’s name to “Eclipse” but after commercial failure of the Machine Head album the title was changed back to the original, more detailed name of “The Dark Side of the Moon: A Piece for Assorted Lunatics”.

Wanting a “simple and bold” design, the album cover of a prism was also meant to represent the stage lighting and song lyrics. The oddness of this cover is that instead of the normal 7 colors emitting from the prism, (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet) only 6 are shown with indigo being omitted.

Below I am listing parts of the lyrics of some of the songs on this album with one or more words left out. It’s your job to pick the correct word(s) from the possible answers and place the number next to it in the coords.
