Classic Albums Live: Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon)

Twenty million people bought this album first on vinyl, then cassette, then cd then one day it was on our phones. Classic Albums Live knows how to perform this album, it’s complex and full of soul. Just getting the alarm clocks together was a feat. All the little voices, then you had to find someone that could sing ‘great gig in the sky’. We did, and it’s joyous. The musicians care about this album; it was our flagship show in 2003.
