When Pigs Fly

Pink Floyd reunited for a six-song set at 2005’s Live 8 concert, but primary songwriters Roger Waters and David Gilmour quashed rumors of future tours, and even the big, round lure of the group’s 40th anniversary this year hasn’t prompted another one-off concert. Targeting fans who aren’t satisfied by Waters’ and Gilmour’s solo gigs, tribute acts replicate concerts from Floyd’s prime. The band ranks among classic rock’s most imitated institutions, with scores of dedicated cover groups, including at least four billed as the Pink Floyd Experience. The sextet of that name stopping at the Lied Center (1600 Stewart Drive in Lawrence, 785-864-2787) at 7:30 tonight hails from San Diego and boasts a kaleidoscopic light spectacular, inflatable accessories (floating eyeballs, flying pig) and synchronized video-screen visuals. All this stadium spectacle takes place in an intimate theater, which is apt, given that Waters wrote The Wall to address his disconnection from spectators at massive venues. Tickets cost $40.
