Welcome to The Arts Buzz.
It’s no surprise that The Grand booked “The Pink Floyd Experience” again. The show was a good sell last year, and it’s expected to do just as well this year when it hits the boards February 27.
The show is a re-staging of PF’s live concerts, featuring classics like “Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall.” It's performed live and lasts about two hours. Guitarist Tom Quinn leads the six-member band. On the drums is John Staten, who has performed with The Allman Brothers Band, Lenny Kravitz, and the Wailers.
Expect rock star effects. The show utilizes about $2.5 million worth of production equipment, and blasts quadraphonic sound. That means you’ll hear cash registers in “Money,” and ticking clocks in “Time.” The flying pig was a crowd-pleaser last year. Swine will no doubt be a major player this year. Tickets are $31-$37.
