A golden anniversary for an iconic album

BRATTLEBORO — New Hampshire–based Pink Floyd tribute band Echoes of Floyd played at the Stone Church in Brattleboro to a joyous crowd of 125 people on July 28 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of the iconic album "The Dark Side of the Moon." Originally released in 1973, the album sold more than 50 million copies worldwide.

This was Echoes of Floyd's fourth visit to the Stone Church in the last four years. Band members include Geoff Williams on guitar, sax, vocals, vocoder, and SFX; Seth MacLean on guitar, lap steel, synth, and vocals; Rick Mutti on drums; Matt Desreuisseau on keys and synth; and Mark Grover on bass.

Williams said of Pink Floyd's lasting impact: "It's music I turn to when I'm down. I can't go right to happy music. I need to start from where I am." -Victoria Chertok
