The Floyd leaves Carson City fans comfortably numb
What can I say that I haven’t already said about The Floyd? I’ve been covering their shows since 2014, and have never been disappointed.
The combination of Vincent Gates (guitars, bass guitar, lead vocals), Dean Rossi (drums), Curt Mitchell (guitars, slide guitar, vocals), Lisa McCuiston (bass guitar, guitars, tambourine, vocals), Rob Lawrence (keyboards, vocals) and Jeff Laakso (keyboards, saxophones, guitars, vocals) is hard to beat when it comes to recreating the iconic compositions of Pink Floyd.
These are songs that are so recognizable that you can’t fudge on a drum fill or guitar lick (maybe a little bit) without being called out for it. To pull it off, you have to learn the material inside out — and that’s what they have done. The personal touch can’t help but emerge during solos, and Curt gets personal with his blistering guitar solos. They are breathtaking. As are Lisa’s vocals, and Dean’s rhythms, and Jeff’s … and Vince’ s… and Rob’s … You get the message. Everybody is over and above.
