Eclipse at Main Street - photo by Kim Roland
If you are a Pink Floyd fan, and like their music--actually, the sound and feel of their music--you may want to take a little ride on Saturday, February 28th, down to the club known as 527 Main Street, at that very address in Murfreesboro. The band known as Eclipse will be playing at Club 527 , as it’s also known, starting at 10:00pm, with the doors opening at 8:00pm.
Eclipse claims to be a tribute band, performing the music of Pink Floyd. My ear tells me that they are no mere ‘tribute band’. The six musicians in the band, who all play a variety of instruments, seem to have captured not only the sound of Pink Floyd, but the very mood and soul of the songs that they play. I have heard plenty of tribute and copy bands in my day, but nothing nearly this accurate. At least not for a long, long while. (I’m right now recalling a band, back in Chicago in 1966, who did Hollies songs and harmonies so well, that it sent chills up my spine)
Probably the thing that impresses me the most is the lead guitar playing. I have personally been playing lead guitar for over forty years, and I have great appreciation and admiration for tasteful and well-executed guitar solos. There are many lead guitarists out there, but I think the percentage of the ones that have the finesse of players like David Gilmour, are in the minority. The lead guitarists for Eclipse do not just copy Gilmour’s playing; they do Gilmour. This band is a genuine treat for my ears. If you bop on down to the ‘Boro on the 28th, you might find that you agree.
