‘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.
