Return to the Dark Side of the Moon: A Tribute to Pink Floyd (US: Cleopatra, 1621; UK: Musea, FGBG-4653) was a re-creation of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, produced and partly performed by Billy Sherwood, accompanied by numerous guests, including Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, Alan White, Bill Bruford, Peter Banks, Tony Kaye, Geoff Downes, Tony Levin and Michael Sherwood.

Tracks with selected musicians shown:

White (drums), Malcolm McDowell (voices), Adrian Belew (King Crimson; vocals), Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (ex-Steely Dan; guitars, pedal steel), John Giblin (Brand X; bass); uses some material recorded for the version of "Breathe" on Pigs & Pyramids (presumably Baxter's parts)
2. "On the Run"—with A. White (percussion), Larry Fast (Peter Gabriel, Synergy, Tony Levin Band; keys)
3. "Time"—with B. Sherwood (vocals, organ, piano), A. White (roto toms), Gary Green (ex-Gentle Giant; vocals, guitars), Robby Krieger (sitar), David Sancious (ex-Jon Anderson, ex-Peter Gabriel;Rhodes), Jay Schellen (Conspiracy, ex-Asia; drums), Colin Moulding (XTC; bass), Michael Sherwood (backing vocals)

5. "Money"—with B. Sherwood (organ, Rhodes, steel guitar), Bruford (drums), Levin (bass), Tommy Shaw (Styx; vocals), Green (guitars); uses some material recorded for the version on Pigs & Pyramids (presumably Levin, Shaw and Winter)

Sherwood (backing vocals); uses some material recorded for the version on Pigs & Pyramids (presumably Page and Haslip)
7. "Any Colour You Like"—with B. Sherwood (organ, guitar), Steve Porcaro (Toto, played on Open Your Eyes; keys), Tony Franklin (ex-The Firm; bass); seems to (mostly?) be the same version as on Pigs & Pyramids

Lauter hochkarätige Vollblutmusiker aus dem Progbereich bei dem wohl besten Artrockalbum, das es neben "Wish you were Here" und "Crime of the Century" gibt - klingt ja hochspannend.
Aber ich vermute, das Original können sie auch nicht toppen...

Gibts es Clips davon?

Das Original hat Roger Waters 2007 zwar nicht getoppt. Näher am "Original" als die Band um den Gitarristen mit dem "Originalnamen" war es ganz sicher. Und showtechnisch wurde es kreativ weiterentwickelt!

Die Scheibe gibt es z.Zt. für 9 - 10 Euronen in vielen Läden zu kaufen.
Ich wollte schon länger mal was darüber schreiben. Schön das es jetzt dazu einen Thread gibt.
