Eight Gigs: Brit Floyd
Tues., July 12, 8 p.m., Community Center Theater, $32.50-$52.50
Sadly, Pink Floyd will never be getting back together; when keyboardist extraordinaire Richard Wright passed in 2009, the band’s fate was sealed, and many purists even argue it really ended with Syd Barrett—he died in 2006 and was unceremoniously exiled from the band in 1968. Thankfully, the existence of dedicated tribute bands means acts like Brit Floyd, hailing from Liverpool, England, can carry on the legacy. The band manages to capture all the nuance and sound of the legendary rock ’n’ roll band, and this is a show for which any Pink Floyd fan will want to get off the wall. 1301 L Street, www.facebook.com/britfloydshow.
