Pinky drops two more powerful performances

BOZEMAN – Pinky and the Floyd has paid tribute to one of rock’s most influential bands during more than 50 live shows in the last six years. The Bozeman-based Pink Floyd cover band played two more exceptional nights of music on their home turf March 6 and 7, at the historic Emerson Theater.
The theater run, entitled “Cubed: An Odyssey of Sound and Vision,” incorporated a giant cubed projection screen suspended over the stage where illustrations, video and live images of the band were shown throughout the night.
The band debuted four new songs to their devoted Bozeman fan base: “San Tropez” off the album “Meddle;” “Coming Back to Life” from “The Division Bell;” “Two Suns in the Sunset” from “The Final Cut;” and “Free Four” from “Obscured by Clouds.” The set lists were identical each night, save for the omission of “Free Four” on Friday.
They played every song from “Dark Side of the Moon,” peppering cuts from the seminal album sequentially throughout the set list, as well as select cuts from “The Wall,” also in chronological order. The band worked hard in the weeks leading up to the Emerson performance to focus on the transitions between songs, and it was apparent in the seamless changes.
“It was the tightest [show yet] on multiple levels,” said saxophonist and acoustic guitarist Jake Fleming, who put the Emerson set list together. “We set our intention toward it. I think it paid off. The way the show was designed, our transitions were tighter.”
Dave Walker and Jerry Mullen, of the Fossils, joined the band both nights for “Dogs of War” and the “Comfortably Numb” encore. Walker lives in Virginia City and was a vocalist for rock legends Fleetwood Mac and Savoy Brown.
“I got to sing some of my favorite Pink Floyd tunes, and got to ad lib,” Walker said after the first night’s performance. The energy he and Mullen brought to the stage wrenched many of those still seated out of their chairs. Mullen ripped searing solos while Walker – with his gray ponytail, rose-tinted glasses and long leather coat – belted out the Floyd classics while shaking his fists in the air.
Friday’s show closed with rhythm guitarist Dustin Tucker throwing high-fives and fist bumps to the zealous fans up front, as lead guitarist Luke Flansburg thanked the Emerson, and the sound and light technicians as if accepting a Grammy.
If the Recording Academy gave out awards for tribute bands, Pinky and the Floyd would clean up the golden gramophones for these latest performances.

Feeling worn out from the winter? Feeling bloated, low energy or foggy in the mind? Maybe it’s just time to have a reset and boost your immune system!
It’s that time of year again, to refresh, renew and revitalize!
The community cleanse utilizes the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in order to help detoxify the body and reboot the digestive system, plus going through the process with a community of others makes it all that much easier to get through it successfully. It is not a time of starvation or deprivation, we eat 3 (or 4) meals each day and take specific herbs to assist the process of releasing toxins. It is designed to be a two-week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are able to commit to and dates can be flexible if need be. You are also welcome to do it from a distance if you won’t be in Big Sky this spring!
What it includes: digestive herbal supplement and body oil (specific to your needs), 4 cleansing and rejuvenating herbal formulas, 7 days of the Ayurvedic cleansing food, a booklet of information on the step-by-step process and some recipes, weekly meetings and daily email support through the process.

Join us on May 10 – 12 to pick up pet waste and seasonal trash to keep our rivers and trails clean.
During spring runoff, pet waste left behind by a long winter has the potential of making its way into our local streams and eventually into the Gallatin River if not picked up and properly disposed. Join the Gallatin River Task Force and our community partners the Big Sky Community Organization (BSCO) and the Big Sky Sustainability Network Organization (SNO) for a community clean up to keep pollution out of the river.
With pet waste representing the fifth-largest source of water-quality degraded pollution across the upper Gallatin River, we need your help! Join us in an effort to keep these harmful pollutants from reaching the Gallatin. Get a group of friends together and sign up to participate.
We will be at the Big Sky Community Park for supply pick up from 9am-5pm, and then you/your team can choose from some of BSCO’s beautiful trails to help clean.
