Last night, Friday the 9th, Blue Floyd played at IMAC in Huntington. If you've never hear of them, Blue Floyd is obviously a Pink Floyd cover band, but they write some of their own stuff too, like blues and whatnot. They were led by a very rockin guitarist known as Marc Ford, who used to lead for The Black Crowes. He helped set the mood of the night, coming out on stage smokin a fat J. The keyboardist, Johnny Neel was a very cool old blind guy who used to do some shit with the Allman Brothers. The whole concert rocked, goin on for four hours, which is pretty long for a IMAC event. They played all the classics such as Comfortably Numb, Breath in the Air, Money, Eclipse, Wish you were here, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, a very rad blues version of Money, and many other good songs I cant remember. All this and a lot of smoke and psychadelic spot lights made out for a very good night.
If you've never been to IMAC, you should definitely check it out sometime. Although mostly blues and jazz groups play there, they do get the occasional kick ass group like Blue Floyd. Edgar Winter played there during the summer. Jefferson Starship is playing there next friday, the 17th. Dont worry, orginal Jefferson Airplane members Paul Kantner and Marty Balin will be there to make sure some good ol' Airplane jams get to be played. Check it out if you're hip. PEACE.
