More than just a flawless recreation of the legendary songs that spanned decades in their appeal, The Pink Floyd Experience echoes everything that made Pink Floyd one of rock & roll's greatest icons. It's a celebration of the music, the themes and the innovation that this great band brought to fans around the world - right down to the massive light show and moving truss that brings the show right into your lap. It is Pink Floyd, up close and personal without losing the scope and power of their performance.
It would be impossible to recreate Pink Floyd. The Pink Floyd Experience is a re-interpretation of the concert that changed live performance forever. Fans can expect the surreal video that supported their memorable lyrics and with over $2.5 million worth of lighting equipment on stage, the Pink Floyd Experience should come with a warning for potential "retinal damage." Even the icons that Pink Floyd made their own, from the blinking eye to the marching hammers have all been translated into clever hooks along the ride.
Pink Floyd remains one of the most influential rock bands of all time, ranking number seven in number of albums sold in the US just behind The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley, The Eagles and Billy Joel. In their attempt to bring fans the show they never thought they would see, ShowBox Productions created the Pink Floyd Experience. Searching the continent for committed and talented musicians, this was a project that could not be completed if it was not done right.
The key factors in their plan were to keep the setting intimate – to put the legendary combination of music, sound, hooks and lights into a theatre setting and to ensure that the show affected every sense and included everything that is Pink Floyd. They found the band, the lights and the sound to create THE show for the ultimate Floyd fan. The world premiere opened in the fall of 2003.
