Pink Floyd in Floyd

The next best thing to Pink Floyd in Floyd is The Darkside Experience, an operatic Pink Floyd immersion, complete with an epic light show. And it happened right here in Floyd at our hometown Dogtown Roadhouse.

We were all in the Pink of psychedelic nostalgia and loving every moment.

Beam me up, Roger.    

Back to the future.

Their words still hold today:  Mother should I build the wall? / Mother should I run for President? / Mother should I trust the government? / Mother will they put me in the firing mine? / Ooh ah, Is it just a waste of time?

The class act band out of Roanoke, playing at Dogtown Saturday night, was top notch.

Joe, a major Pink Floyd fan, was texting a high school friend video clips of the show when he wasn’t lost in singing along and dancing. Watch HERE.

I was dancing too when I wasn’t lost in taking pictures of the fantastic laser light show!

See you on the dark side of the moon HERE. ____________Our World Tuesday

    Another big WOW! Nelson loves Pink Floyd too! He would have loved this show.
    The psychedelic lights remind me of the Surf, when I worked there in the 70’s they used to have to set up light shows. Great fun and Joe is a good dancer I see!

    Sherry’s right I would have liked to see this show. Tell them to come back in August.

    I’ll put a word in with our friend Rick who books the shows but if not let’s just hope there’s a good show the weekend you’ll be here. The show was FANTASTIC!

    The event has a futuristic feel like in a Star Trek cafe. The band was so ahead of its time speaking about walls, a metaphor for so many ills in the world … invisible and otherwise!

    The town of Floyd is a rocking town. Cool place you found to settle in, Colleen. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.

    My son loved going to the Pink Floyd shows at the planetarium. LOVE your photos!
    My post features a “crab cruise” in LaConner, Washington State, USA.
