The Dark Side of the Wall
"What makes Dark Side of the Wall so good isn't just how well it echoes all of the crucial Pink Floyd moments, although it is an uncanny replication. The band's secret weapon is its obvious love for the songs and how it injects its own personality into the performances -- they're reverent, but not robots. I stopped counting the goose bump moments an hour into their last show, but the total certainly edged close to double figures. And, whatever you do, don't leave your seat during 'Comfortably Numb." You'll miss a shredding for the ages as Allen Needham slays the closing guitar solo."

Wayne Young started his music career in the late 1950s with the Carnations. In the 1960s, he joined Soul, Inc. for two tours with the "Dick Clark Caravan of Stars" opening for Bo Diddley, Paul Revere and the Raiders and The Byrds. In the 1970s and 1980s, Young began to hone his blues licks with The Heavyweights and later toured extensively with his own group, Midnight Special. In the 90s, he created and performed the popular Slow Hand and Eric Clapton tribute show.
Once again, I'm singing backup, which is fine with me. These are wonderful entertainers. I'm very happy to be performing with the group. It's like going back to my roots!
