Thursday, July 25 - Today at the California Mid-State Fair

by Tina Swithin

I have a big announcement but you are hereby sworn to secrecy. Tonight's  Chumash Grandstand Arena performance is FREE. You heard me, Brit Floyd is free and should be an amazing show. Brit Floyd will be presenting P-U-L-S-E 2013, The Pink Floyd Ultimate Light & Sound Experience, a stunning new three hour show featuring note-for-note performances of five full album sides, including 'Wish You Were Here', 'Animals', 'The Wall', 'The Division Bell', and, in celebration of the 40th anniversary, Pink Floyd's classic defining album, 'The Dark Side of The Moon'.

On the free stage tonight is Berlin with Terri  Nunn at 6:30 and 8:30pm. Terri Nunn deserves a special mention as this woman puts on a kick-bootie performance. Last year, my husband and I enjoyed her show so much that we circled back and watched the second show!

The rest of the week includes Huey Lewis & the News (Friday), the Country  Rodeo Finals (Saturday) and the Monster Truck Show (Sunday).
