Beginning at 1:50 p.m. or so, the Rock Hall will play Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon through its Rock Box speakers, located across downtown.

The album’s final song, “Eclipse,” will sync up with the darkest point of the partial solar eclipse, right around 2:31 p.m.

There’s not much more to the news than that. If you have not yet procured your eclipse glasses or acid blotter, then you might just want to post up near a set of speakers this afternoon and enjoy one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

  1. An eclectic soundtrack to the event may be found in the early 1970’s Graham Bond and Diane Stewart project which yielded two albums — “Holy Magick” and “We Put Our Magick on You” — and were reissued decades later on one CD. Themes explored in their music can be found in Ginger Baker’s Air Force setlist – the studio and touring band included Bond and Stewart – and chronicled in The Official Ginger Baker Bootleg Series through a 2-CD set — “Ginger Baker’s Air Force: Live In The Stadthalle Offenbach Germany 1970”.
