The Wall September 18, 2010

The life of the fictional rock star 'Pink' is the subject of the visually evocative cult film based upon the music and visions of the group Pink Floyd as portrayed in the album of the same title. Relationships, drug abuse, sex, childhood, WWII and fascism combine in a disturbing mix of episodic live action and lyrical animation. Rated R, 1982

The Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center, in partnership with Guitar Player Magazine, presents Guitar Player LIVE! A guitar festival that brings together players, music lovers, guitar legends, and exhibitors for a celebration of music inspired by guitars — free live performances, free artist clinics, the latest gear and more. The weekend kicks off with a concert by legendary rock guitarists Ronnie Montrose and Gary Hoey, and closes with Guitar Player Magazine’s sixth annual Guitar Superstar Competition. Enjoy local bands on outdoor stages during the afternoon, mingle with guitarists, band members, and music enthusiasts at post-show parties, and rock the past with late night screenings of two guitar-inspired films, “This is Spinal Tap” and “The Wall.”
