When I heard we had booked Dark Side of The Wall: A Pink Floyd Tribute for WFPK’s Live Lunch concert series I figured it would be fun to hear some great songs by Pink Floyd and not much more than that.  What I didn’t expect was to be totally blown away by how good these musicians were and how they would nail each note and nuance making the show one of the most dynamic performances I’ve ever witnessed!  This was the stripped down version of it too without the giant film screen and light show, no costumes or grand staging that would normally accompany the show in a theater and even then it was spectacular.  Dark Side of the Moon was performed in its entirety including the incredibly amazing version of Great Gig in The Sky featuring Jennifer Lauletta who commanded a standing ovation.  Brian Knopf was the lead vocalist with the perfect amount of moodiness to his flawless performance.  Allen Needham on lead guitar should be a mega RockStar for his soaring and unbelievable solos that also garnered unending applause.  I was completely inspired to see the stage production afterwards and so glad I did.  I’ll never forget it.
