    Join Pompeii Floyd as they play through Pink Floyd’s 1975 album Wish You Were Here in its entirety, showcasing hits such as “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”, “Have a Cigar”, and the album’s titular track, “Wish You Were Here”.

    Having sold out venues in the Tri-State Area, Pompeii Floyd began as a recreation of Pink Floyd’s iconic Live at Pompeii concert film from 1972. Often regarded as one of rock’s finest concert movies (even with no audience present), David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright perform ethereal renditions of “Echoes”, “One of These Days”, “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun”, and “Saucerful of Secrets”. Later versions of the film also captured the band in the studio recording their timeless The Dark Side of the Moon album.

    JT Curtis (“George Harrison” guitar and vocals from the Broadway production of Let it Be – and host of History of Rock’s Pink Floyd Album Reviews) has cited this concert as one of his biggest influences and even incorporated ideas into his own original piece Elements (even traveling to the actual Pompeii amphitheater to film footage). Together with James Preston (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) on bass and vocals, Hector Lopez (Tito Puente) on drums and Dino Covelli (Surrogate Band) on keyboards and vocals, they have crafted a true Pink Floyd experience.

    As a four-piece, Pompeii Floyd’s area of concentration is the Meddle era, but the band has also paid tribute to the band’s original leader, Syd Barrett, with selections from Piper at the Gates of Dawn. As a six-piece including singer/guitarist Meghan Rose (Xena: Warrior Musical) and saxophonist/keyboardist Colleen Farquhar (All Revved Up), the band delves into the Dark Side of the Moon – Wish You Were Here – Animals era, and of course selections from The Wall. Pompeii Floyd keeps their shows thematic and theatrical, just as the band itself did throughout the 1970’s.

    There is a 2 item minimum/person for all shows at Cafe Wha? For guests under 21, a $25/person pre-fixe menu purchase is required. This includes unlimited soft drinks and one entree item from the menu.

  • Pompeii Floyd: A Pink Floyd Tribute

    Pompeii Floyd are a tribute to Pink Floyd who focus on the band’s early 1970’s material, including the concert film they faithfully recreated on its 50th anniversary: “Live At Pompeii”. Initially a four-piece, the group embarked on a series of live shows covering songs from the band’s initial release, “The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn,” through the “Obscured By Clouds” release.

    The group expanded to a six-piece to take on Pink Floyd’s more ambitious work, including the entirety of the infamous release: “The Dark Side Of The Moon,” in honor of it’s 50th anniversary. They also faithfully recreate classic hits from “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, and “The Wall”.

    Pompeii Floyd features JT Curtis (Broadway’s “Let It Be”) fronting the band on guitar and vocals, bassist James Preston (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) drummer Hector Lopez (Tito Puente), and myself, Dino Covelli (Surrogate Band). Rounding out the lineup is singer and guitarist Meghan Rose (Xena: Warrior Musical) and saxophonist/keyboardist Colleen Farquhar (All Revved Up).
