And the bands play on: Pink Floyd tribute band performs July 19

July 26, 2024

About one thousand concertgoers (a small fraction of the Independence Day concert) enjoyed perfect weather and a full moon as they watched the Pink Floyd tribute band Into the Floyd, and a full production laser light show, from the grassy hillside at NARA Park on July 19.
