Remember your first visit to a video arcade? Your first home console experience? The first time you heard your favorite video game theme song?

7 pm - Rush 2112
Over forty years ago the three prophets of Rush foretold an intergalactic war on their prog-rock album, 2112. They predicted that in the year 2062, the universe will finally find peace — and oppression — as the Solar Federation unifies warring planets and instates the music-hating Priests of the Temples of Syrinx as overlords. Everything will change, however, in 2112 when an optimistic free-thinker finds a “strange musical device” and martyrs himself while attempting to bring melody to the stars.
runtime: 40 minutes
8:30 pm - Grateful Dead
This one is for all the deadheads. America’s greatest cosmic rock & roll band — from kaleidoscopic psychedelia to homespun country rock to epic live jams and beyond, The Grateful Dead’s songs are woven into the very fabric of music itself. Now experience “The Dead” on a whole other level – through laser light!
runtime: 55 minutes
JUNE 1 - NO SHOW
June 6, 7, & 8
7 pm Rocket Man
"I’ve always wanted to smash a guitar over someone’s head. You just can’t do that with a piano.” Elton John’s unique blend of pop and rock styles turned him into one of the 20th century’s biggest music icons. What better way to celebrate his musical hits than with laser light accompaniment? Sit back, relax, and let this unique light and sound experience move through you. And don’t worry, you’ll be safe from any flying pianos!
runtime: 48 minutes
8:30 pm - Laser Queen
Start with a layer of heavy metal, add a dash of glam, a pinch of astrophysics, and sprinkle liberally with theatrics. Only THEN will you get a sense of what makes up the legendary Queen, the band who are often touted as being the most educated rock band to ever live. Freddy Mercury put it best when he said, “The whole point of Queen was to be original. We’re a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules, It’s unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear.”
runtime: 46 minutes
June 13, 14, & 15
