I attended
the Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular
at the Historic State Theater in
Downtown
I had never
been to one of these shows before, so had almost no idea what to expect.
On arriving to
the State Theater and going through where they take the tickets, I realized
that I was going to have to pay for some special goggles in order to watch the
show. I had seen on the Laser
Spectacular web site, that there would be goggles, but had no idea I would have
to pay more for the goggles. Well, they
were only $2 a piece, but I hate being nickled and dimed to death at every function I go to. (Hence my dislike of the highway robbery
going on at Ticketmaster)
Anyway, after
getting my goggles and sitting in to see the show, I was amazed at how good
most of the show was. If you like
lasers, I would say you will like this.
The goggles add a certain 3-D effect to the whole thing, as well as more
than quadrupling the lasers you see.
It’s kind of surreal as you see the lasers going through the people’s
heads in front of you. (or appear to)
There was a lot of repetition of the actual laser motions or drawings
though. I think more originality of
designs and motions would enhance the show greatly. Most songs there were a lot of lasers
happening (as well as a video playing on the screen), but some songs had hardly
any lasers, and mostly video. I would
say those few songs were a bit boring.
The Music of
Pink Floyd certainly adds a surreal quality to the whole laser theme, and makes
for an enjoyable experience.
Overall I
would rate the whole experience here as a 8 or 10, and
would recommend you check the show out next time it comes to town.
