I'm not a planetarium person but this does look really neat. No idea if this is being done elsewhere but it seems logical that it will be.

'The Dark Side of the Moon' show coming to Adler Planetarium (wgntv.com)

Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.

Lee I get the impression most of our friends here are not that big on Pink Floyd. Warren Haynes is a PF fan. 

They were a very successful band that packed arenas and stadiums all over the world. 

And Dark Side of the Moon hung on the album chart for years. I think it replaced Johnny Mathis' Greatest Hits for the most weeks to sell enough copies to find a position on the chart which has 200 positions.

I read the article, and I think it is being done at 100 different planetariums, and they are going to do it for a year.  I've seen Pink Floyd, Gilmour, and Waters many times.

That was pretty tasty performance of Money! I couldn't help but think that Michael Keaton Could easily play David Gilmour in a movie. Only person I can think of for Waters would be Richard Gere and I'm not a big fan of his.

I sure hope this planetarium show come to Birmingham.

Roger Waters has re-recorded Dark Side of the Moon and Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason admits its brilliant. 

Roger Waters in his interview about the new version of one of rock's best selling and iconic albums said David Gilmore and the other Floyd members are lousy songwriters and don't have a good idea among them and never have. 

Wow Roger is worse than Butch Trucks trashing Dickey Betts.

David Gilmore may be a lousy song writer and never had a good idea as Roger said but David is clearly one of the best rock lead guitarists we've had. He was excellent!!

I saw this at the Hayden Planetarium in NYC back in the 80s.Wonder if it's the same show or if they updated it.

I saw a show like this around then also, at the Hayden Planetarium at the Museum of Science in Boston - great show, the song I remember from it was Wheels In The Sky Keep Turning, by Journey
