The Pig Flies Again in One Epic Concert:

Broadway Center presents The Pink Floyd Experience

Tacoma, WA – Without question, Pink Floyd remains one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Their record-breaking status is legendary.  Experience the quadraphonic sound again, or for the first time, as legendary songs come to life with The Pink Floyd Experience.  Complete with 200,000 watts of light…full quadraphonic sound and six brilliant musicians, this epic concert is presented by the Broadway Center for one concert only on April 23, 2008 at 7:30pm in the Pantages Theater.

Today, years since their last live performance, Pink Floyd’s appeal continues and spans the generations. Their shows were described as theatrical with mind-blowing lights and unsurpassed sound. The show is not only onstage…it engulfs the audience! The Pink Floyd Experience is a full-on sensory assault – interpretive videos, plane crashes, flying pig, helicopter – it’s all there, LIVE!  This is the show for the ultimate Floyd Fan.

All of Pink Floyd’s greatest hits are performed live including such favorites as “Money,” “Wish You Were Here,” “Time,” “Have A Cigar,” “Comfortably Numb,” “Another Brick in the Wall” and much more.  

Some Floyd Facts:  More than 200-million albums have been sold since 1967. Four Grammy nominations in the '70s, '80s, and '90s. They were one of the first bands to use pyrotechnics, video, and light shows in their stage acts. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. ”Dark Side of the Moon” broke all chart records when it stayed on the Billboard Top 200 Album charts for 741 weeks. It stayed there from 1973 to 1988. Nearly 1,000,000 Pink Floyd catalog albums are sold each year worldwide.
