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.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
