After 20 years of touring, Paramount's LaserSpectacular has become a cult classic, presenting the music of Pink Floyd like you’ve never seen it before. Surrounded by 10,000 watts of concert quality sound, Pink Floyd’s musical legacy continues as the bands concept music captures the imagination and carries listeners away on a mind-expanding journey driven by cutting edge effects. Colorful lasers and lighting effects parallel the sonic journey as the senses are confronted with an array of glowing visual displays choreographed to the soundtrack during the 2 hour and 20 minute show.
“Pink Floyd’s music is very dramatic and visual,” says Paramount’s LaserSpectacular Producer Steve Monistere. “You can see or imagine images when you listen to their music. Without any lighting effects at all, there is still a show in your mind. Now imagine using lasers, lighting, video and other special visual effects to interpret what your mind is ‘seeing’ and that is why people love this show so much”.
Through the use of jaw-dropping new technologies a visual evolution unfolds as solid lines of light wash the room with color, animated neon figures are set in motion, a giant inflatable comes to life and laser beams bounce and glide through the open air, crafting images, such as a soaring eagle that flies over the crowd. During the song “Learning To Fly,” you’ll see a psychedelic, rotating lighting gobo with images of the history of flight, from the Wright Brothers all the way to the Space Shuttle. During “Comfortably Numb” 3-D animation reveal the song’s storyline of a rock star struggling to “make it to the show.” Brand new 3-D imagery used in the show actually has dimension and can be seen from all sides! Finally, Paramount’s best laserists pull out all the stops and bombard you with EVERYTHING in their bag of visual tricks for the shows finale, “Run Like Hell.” Special prism glasses multiply the fun, making 1 image become six. Three 30-foot screens wall the experience.
