FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 13, 2009 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS THE PINK FLOYD EXPERIENCE SATURDAY, JANUARY 16 Richmond, BC – Pink Floyd is rarely discussed without using words like “psychedelic,” “conceptual” and “provocative.” Their shows are described as being theatrical with mind-blowing lights, unsurpassed sound and record breaking status. Without question, Pink Floyd remains one of the most influential rock bands of all time. So it was no easy feat to bring such a story to the stage. The show’s producers endeavoured to bring fans the show they never thought they’d see. They searched the continent for committed and talented musicians who could really do it justice … this was a project that was not going to happen if it could not be done right. The vision was not to produce a stadium show. In fact in an effort to create the true Pink Floyd experience, it would be just the opposite. Two key factors were at the core of the plan: keep it intimate (put the legendary combination of music, sound and lights in a theatre atmosphere) and ensure the sensual attack of Pink Floyd (give it top priority along with the music). And they nailed it. They found the band, the lights and the sound to create the show for the ultimate Pink Floyd fan. All of their greatest hits are performed live including such favourites as “Money,” “Wish You Were Here,” “Time,” “Have A Cigar,” “Comfortably Numb” and “Another Brick in the Wall.” The world premiere shows of The Pink Floyd Experience opened in Calgary and Edmonton back in 2005 and has been touring and selling out theatres across North America ever since.

Towards an Analysis of the Concept Albums of Roger Waters and Pink Floyd
THE CONCEPT ALBUMS OF ROGER WATERS AND PINK FLOYD WHICH ONE'S PINK? TOWARDS AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT ALBUMS OF ROGER WATERS AND PINK FLOYD By PHILIP ANTHONY ROSE, B.A., B.Ed. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies inJ Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Philip Anthony Rose, April 1995 MASTER OF ARTS (1995) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Music Criticism) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Which One's Pink? - Towards an Analysis of the Concept Albums of Roger Waters and Pink Floyd AUTHOR: Philip Anthony Rose, B.A. (McMaster University) B.Ed. (Brock University) SUPERVISORS: Dr. S. Fast and Dr. H.J. Ferns NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 132 ABSTRACT The introduction to this project surveys a number of recent approaches to the study of music, which are utilized in the subsequent analysis of the concept albums of Roger Waters and Pink Floyd. The concept album is a genre in which the texts and music of an entire record album are thematically and conceptually linked. The thesis employs techniques of liiterary criticism in its analysis of song lyrics, and provides an hermeneutic analysis of the music in order to investigate how the sounds influence, and contribute to, the overall meanings of the works. Chapter 1 focuses on The Dark Side o/the Moon (1973), while Chapters 2 and 3 focus respectively on Wish You Were Here (1975) and Animals (1977). The project illustrates how Roger Waters combines all of the pieces appearing on an individual album in order to communicate the recording's overriding concerns.
