"Pink Floyd is a complete experience…musical, visual, emotional. I’ve always enjoyed being totally enveloped by it! Somehow I feel humbled and captivated by the entire production. It reminds me of the lyric from Dark Side of the Moon, ‘Far away, across the fields, the tolling of the iron bell, calls the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spells.’ It feels entirely mesmerizing." - Mellissa
