Advance general admission tickets to the show are $30, or at the door as availability allows. The event is ALL AGES. Event hosts will pour up adult beverages for those 21+.
“If Led Zeppelin were the band most responsible for hard rock’s vertical expansion in the ‘70s, hitting previously unforeseeable heights for the genre, Pink Floyd were the band that expanded it the most horizontally… Obviously, they stretched out the length – double albums, side-long jams, songs that had more movements and ideas than entire LPs by other bands. But they also broadened the music’s width, with one of the most far-reaching musical palettes of any band approaching their magnitude.” – Billboard
Known for their performances of full albums, Pinky and the Floyd have fronted some legendary theatrical productions. Their recent “Wish You Were Here 50th Anniversary Tour” production paid tribute to their beloved keyboardist and founding member, Joe Kirchner, and featured other classics from the band’s immense catalog.
With this repertoire, it’s obvious the band has explored the material… but Pinky would agree that the biggest challenge has always been performing the material everyone knows and loves. The stuff that everyone hears on the radio… The big hits like “Comfortably Numb,” “Run Like Hell,” “Time” and “Money.” That’s the stuff people want to hear, but it’s also the stuff that people expect to hear in a certain way. It’s engrained in us as Pink Floyd fans, as concert-goers, and lovers of music.
