And more. And more. They just can’t believe their eyes and ears.

Floyd’s frontman, David Gilmour, has given the show his own glowing endorsement and here’s a unique chance to hear again the likes of ‘Comfortably Numb’, ‘Hey You’, ‘Another Brick In The Wall,’ ‘Run Like Hell’ and every other track on the album performed within the stunning context of the work as a whole.
