B. Louis With a spectacular new million dollar light show and state of the art video design… and an even bigger stage production, Brit Floyd – Space & Time – Continuum promises to be the most ambitious and best Brit Floyd show yet. Following it’s hugely successful 146 concert date tour across the globe in 2015, Brit Floyd, The World’s Greatest Pink Floyd Show, returns to North America in 2016 to continue it’s exploration through fifty years of Pink Floyd, and the vast and incredible catalogue of music. As well as performing the favourite moments from The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall and The Division Bell, Brit Floyd will treat the audience to their show-stopping rendition of Echoes, in its entirety, from the landmark album Meddle, as well as a host of other Pink Floyd musical gems. Brit Floyd show was modeled after Pink Floyd’s light show and they did not disappoint. The 30-foot round video screen was filled with retro animated graphics, short films and pictures that represent each year the songs were released. Amazing guitar, thundering drums, stunning backup vocals, spot-on keyboards and sound effects would generally be all one could ask for in a live show - Brit Floyd brings it all. The light show was spectacular. Lights beaming from the floor, ceiling and all around the stage. Lasers and smoke added to the real Floyd feeling.Vivid and bright. The music did strike a powerful chord in the audience and the vocals and background singers were nothing less than spot on. The whole show was masterfully scripted and executed in a sold out venue. The three-hour show was an amazing combination of Pink Floyd’s entire career from 1967 to 1994. They played the true Floyd favorites and added a few of the lesser known songs. If you are a fan of Pink Floyd or love an over the top show, you will not be dissapointed flflbrit>>page 5

Despite difficult weather conditions, the Milwaukee women’s track and field team closed out the Big Blue Classic in fine fashion with top performances in all areas Saturday on the campus of Eastern Illinois. “It was an interesting weather day,” Milwaukee head coach Pete Corfeld said. “There were some really strong winds, but it was pretty sunny all day. It definitely affected the performances, but I feel like we got a lot out of the competition. That’s what this is all about. I think we got a lot done in that regard and it will pay off in the weeks to come.” Milwaukee started things off in the morning with some great performances in the discus throw. Steph Kostowicz led the way by finishing third with an incredible toss of 46.06m (151-1). That mark now moves her into second place in school history. Not far track>>page 13
