Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon comes to JAX


The Florida Theatre is pleased to announce
“Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon performed by Classic Albums Live on Saturday, August 7, 2021 at 8 p.m. Due to the popularity of the artist and/or the event, this show is being posted early on “Around Town With Ms. “V”, so that patrons may purchase tickets and guarantee their seats. COVID protocol may change by the time that this event is scheduled to take place.

Hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time, Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon was released on March 1, 1973, and subsequently charted for more than 900 weeks, selling an estimated 45 million worldwide. Classic Albums Live performs the groundbreaking album in its entirety, note-for-note and cut-for-cut, including megahits “Money,” “Us and Them,” and “The Great Gig in the Sky.”

Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live has become the ultimate destination for music lovers wanting to hear the greatest albums performed live without all the gimmickry and cheesy impersonations. Relying only on the music, using what Martin refers to as 'the world's best musicians,' Classic Albums Live has defined itself as a mainstay in Performing Arts Centers across North America.

Martin shares some behind-the-scenes insight into Classic Albums Live’s performance of Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon:
“The Dark Side of the Moon came out in 1973. It was everywhere. The album cover prism was drawn on countless school binders. We started paying attention to the sound of cash registers. Having a good stereo system was a thing. 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. It’s the album that changed everything. It’s a masterpiece that will be remembered forever.”

The historic, nonprofit Florida Theatre is sponsored by Community First Credit Union. For a complete list of upcoming events or to buy tickets visit the Theatre’s official website, floridatheatre.com.
