The Long Players perform Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
Price: $15
Have The Long Players really never taken on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon before? Shocking. With such apparently the case, Music City’s ace album-oriented covers ensemble challenge themselves to trip out on this much-overdue rendition of Pink Floyd’s seminal juggernaut of a stoner-rock staple. Since The Flaming Lips’ Bonnaroo adaptation of the record has come and gone, and since “Pigs” are likely to fly before Roger Waters and David Gilmour take the “Money” and go “On the Run” with their own live recreation of the record, local fans of the long-player (i.e., anyone who’s ever rolled a joint on a record sleeve) need not miss this opportunity to hear it wholly nailed live at Mercy Lounge. Across the river at The 5 Spot, classic rock fans who prefer frenetic aesthetics to cerebral ones have the option of catching local mod/power-pop institution, The Shazam!, joining forces with rockers Riff Raff — as led by local vocalist Greg Mangus — for respective renditions of The Who’s cacophonous maximum-R&B classic Live at Leeds and AC/DC’s hard-rock masterpiece Highway to Hell. Note: The Highway performance marks the 31st anniversary of original AC/DC singer Bon Scott's untimely — as if there could be any other kind — “death by misadventure.”
