That was never more evident than when they released their 1973 masterpiece 鈥淒ark Side of the Moon.鈥� The concept album begged for that bigger sound. They recorded it with synthesizer, which filled in some of the blanks, but it just didn鈥檛 seem to do it the justice of a symphony experience.

On Friday, the 蜜柚直播 Symphony Orchestra will provide that experience when it joins Jeans 鈥橬 Classics productions for 鈥淎n Evening of Pink Floyd.鈥� Think of it as the ultimate Pink Floyd cover band experience with a full band, vocals that sound spot-on for Roger Waters and David Gilmour, and the full complement of the orchestra behind them creating an unimaginable wall of sound that brings 鈥淒ark Side鈥� to life.

鈥淭he joy of doing (the orchestra concert) with Pink Floyd is you get to hear all of those textures and sounds that synthesization was trying to do,鈥� said Peter Brennan, who founded Jeans 鈥橬 Classics in his native Canada in 1996 and does the orchestrations for its 40-plus rock-meets-orchestra shows.

The concert is divided into two halves, the first devoted to Pink Floyd鈥檚 other landmark album 鈥淭he Wall,鈥� the second to 鈥淒ark Side,鈥� which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

鈥淚n terms of the 鈥楧ark Side鈥� suite, it is the closest that we can approximate what an orchestra must feel like when they put their heads down and 40 minutes later come up for air after playing a Beethoven symphony,鈥� Brennan said. 鈥淵ou get your head totally into all of those moods and those themes.鈥�

鈥淎n Evening of Pink Floyd鈥� opens the second season of the orchestra鈥檚 鈥淭SO Rocks the Fox鈥� series with Jeans 鈥橬 Classics at Fox 蜜柚直播 Theatre. Brennan said eight of his artists 鈥� a four-piece rhythm section, a saxophone player, two female backup vocalists and a lead vocalist 鈥� will perform with the TSO, led by conductor Keitaro Harada.

鈥淭he music is all familiar,鈥� said Harada, who grew up in his native China listening to his mother鈥檚 vast music collection that included Western pop and rock. 鈥淚t鈥檚 going to be a fun time.鈥�

Harada said the TSO Rocks the Fox series is a chance for the orchestra to introduce itself to non-symphony-goers.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 expect any of them to become season subscribers, but this is your hometown orchestra,鈥� he said. 鈥淭his orchestra is so diverse it can play anything.鈥�

Brennan, who arranges all of the Jeans 鈥橬 Classics shows, said his troupe has been performing the Pink Floyd 鈥淒ark Side鈥� show for six years, but the 蜜柚直播 concert will be the first time they have devoted the first half of the show to 鈥淭he Wall.鈥�

鈥淭hey are my two favorite (albums), very, very iconic albums,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of interesting to do 鈥楾he Wall,鈥� which was several years after 鈥楧ark Side鈥� came out. 鈥楧ark Side鈥� is the one that sticks in my mind as being 鈥榓 work.鈥� It鈥檚 a concept album and the way we do it we start it and it just flows. For 40 minutes, you just sort of close your eyes and let it flow all over you. It鈥檚 as if you put the needle down on the (record) and let it play. And of course half the people in the audience don鈥檛 know what a record is.鈥�

鈥淒ark Side of the Moon鈥� was released in March 1973. It debuted at No. 95 on the Billboard 200 chart and didn鈥檛 drop off until July 1988. It re-emerged on the pop charts for another 759 weeks, spending a total of 1,500 weeks on charts 鈥� a number that has never been eclipsed, according to Billboard.
