Without question, Pink Floyd remains one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Their record-breaking status is legendary. The 1977 concept album ANIMALS was a statement regarding the decline of society of the day. While making the album did set in motion the discord that would eventually destroy the band, the subsequent tour for this release planted the seeds for what would become The Wall. Now, get ready for THE PINK FLOYD EXPERIENCE as they present Animals live in its entirety! With a spectacular light & video show, full quadraphonic sound, and six outstanding musicians dedicated to bringing you the most authentic Floyd experience possible, the show is "a must-see for any Pink Floyd enthusiast!"
