I love progressive rock with a passion. Rush, King Crimson, Tool, Porcupine Tree, the list goes on and on. I know it’s a bit of a cop-out to say that I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan, but I am.

It's the Pink Floyd tribute by none other than The Fabulous Armadillos. There will be 3 performances at the Paramount Theatre in St. Cloud on October 3rd, 4th, and 5th. I've seen this particular show a couple of times before and it's definitely worth checking out.
