Shine On -- A 50th Anniversary Listening Party for Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here50th Anniversary of Wish You Were Here. Think Pink. Shine On. At Midnight.
On September 12, 1975, Pink Floyd unveiled Wish You Were Here, their highly anticipated follow-up to The Dark Side of the Moon. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, the album fused soaring prog-rock soundscapes with deeply personal themes, including a tribute to former bandmate Syd Barrett. Its release cemented the band’s status as rock innovators, with tracks like “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” becoming instant classics.
On Friday, September 12, 2025, for one night only, the Music Box Studio Theater becomes our private time machine -- small, intimate, and wired with a sound system worthy of a Crazy Diamond.
We'll play the album in full -- loud, lush, and unapologetically immersive, just as it was meant to be heard, with every shimmering chord, every aching lyric, every moment of sonic grandeur resonating through the room.
No distractions. No skips. Just fifty years of pure, mind-bending Floyd. Let's Have a Cigar.
Tickets are $14 and available here: https://crazydiamond.bpt.me
