The exciting show will consist of:
*ECHOES – Ambitious beyond any previous Pink Floyd endeavour and wilder than any subsequent attempt they would make, ‘Echoes’ is a 23-minute auditory spectacle reintroducing various old themes and melody lines from previous albums through a fresh musical structure.”
*THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON – This album, released in March 1973, is among the most critically acclaimed albums around the world. It topped the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart, charting for 981 weeks. The Dark Side of the Moon has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling album of the 1970s and the fourth best-selling album in history.
*SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND – Split into two parts on the album ‘Wish You Were Here’, this song was crafted and penned as a tribute and homage to Syd Barrett, a founding member of Pink Floyd. Originally intended to be a side-long composition, like ‘Echoes’, this FULL-LENGTH version will be re-created for the PINK FLOYD’S: EVOLUTION tour.
