Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular

VMA Arts & Cultural Center

Stoners know that enjoying music with only your ears limits the spectrum of possible sensations. What about the tactile? What about the visual? Light shows enhance the latter realm, and Pink Floyd's very vivid canon is exactly the kind of art made to be bolstered by such a presentation. That's why the Laser Spectacular has been titillating senses for 23 years now. From Piper At the Gates of Dawn to Dark Side of the Moon, there are many songs that lend themselves to the experience. "You can see or imagine images when you listen to their music," explain the creators. "Without any lighting effects at all, there is still a show in your mind. Now imagine using lasers, video, and other special visual effects to interpret what your mind is ‘seeing' - that is why people love this show so much." Set your controls for the heart of the sun and head to the VMA Arts & Cultural Center, 1 Avenue of the Arts, Providence, for the full trip at 7:30 pm | $30 | vmari.com
