Rare Performances from the Shelley Archives

Thursday Nov. 18th
Pink Floyd (1966-1980)

Approx. 90 min.
From their early work with the legendary but doomed Syd Barrett to later iconic albums like Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, Pink Floyd have created a body of work that ranks among the greats of rock and roll. Pink Floyd exploded on Swinging London's music scene during the mid 1960s with their strange, trippy, spaced out, psychedelic sound. This evening of amazing performances will present a full retrospective of Pink Floyd's entire career from the 1960s to their groundbreaking concerts from all around the world during the 1970s. No fan of this brilliant band will want to miss this evening of classic footage of Pink Floyd!
