Travel back to the sights and sounds of immortal musical groups in the Planetarium! For one week only, the music of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, U2, and two albums of Pink Floyd will be brought to life in laser light. Two other shows with compilations of county music and classic rock will also be offered. The laser projector will fill the planetarium dome with choreographed light, allowing the music and visuals to envelope you. Over a million laser-generated hues and colors poetically express each timeless track.
Ten classics, like Hard Day's Night, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Twist & Shout, Yesterday, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, form a spellbinding Beatles tribute in light.
Transcend time and space with Zeppelin tunes such as the Immigrant Song, Over the Hills and Far Away, Rock and Roll, Kashmir, Whole Lotta Love, and, of course, Stairway to Heaven.
Metallica’s songs For Whom the Bell Tolls, Nothing Else Matters, Sad but True, and Enter Sandman are part of this hard-driving, heavy-metal experience.
The hits Where the Streets Have No Name, Bloody Sunday, Beautiful Day, With or Without You, and Mysterious Way are included in the U2 retrospective concert.
Relive hits from The Wall by Pink Floyd, including Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, Comfortably Numb, and Run Like Hell, in haunting laser landscapes.
Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, with the songs Money, Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, and Brain Damage, make the most consistently popular album interpreted in laser concerts.
Laser Vinyl samples the biggest hits in classic rock, featuring Back In Black by AC/DC, Jump by Van Halen, Dream On by Aerosmith, and Separate Ways by Journey, among many others.
Laser County features many memorable tunes from the past along with more modern melodies, such as Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, Always On My Mind by Willie Nelson, Crazy by Patsy Cline, The Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band, and God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood.
