‘PIGS’ Concert dynamic night of Pink Floyd music
‘PIGS’ Canada’s Pink Floyd tribute band was in town in late February and they did the iconic band Pink Floyd proud with their legendary psychedelic renditions. It was easy to see what generation was captured by their music; almost everyone attending was a little gray between the ears except for a smattering of younger Pink Floyd music fans.
London’s Pink Floyd made their mark in the mid60s-‘70s, achieving international acclaim with their philosophical lyrics and sonic experimentation of music. Their live show brought them to a place of notoriety and they are regarded as one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in modern music history.
I was dumbfoundedly-impressed as to how PIGS provides an authentic experience, very much like I would have expected that Pink Floyd produced during their era on stage. Being familiar with many of their popular tunes like ‘Money’ and ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ and a few others, while appreciating their music on occasion, Pink Floyd music wasn’t exactly where I lived in the day. PIGS, the band themselves, are seasoned musicians and revealed their instrumental detail and vocal prowess as they mimicked the band to perfection. The interesting and thought -provoking visuals and vibrant light show nailed the evening as a concert well-worth attending.
