EPISODE SUMMARY:
Any band that aims to remain timeless absolutely has to go through changes. Experimentation is a big part of that evolutionary path, and any musician worth their salt who' s been around long enough most likely sounds very different today from when they first started playing. So it goes with British psychedelic rockers Pink Floyd, whose 1967 debut album Piper at the Gate of Dawn would probably sound wholly unfamiliar to the casual listener only familiar with their later hits. Luckily comedian Blaine Capatch knows their career history well. And he himself has a long history of writing and performing, including for such shows as @midnight, The Martin Short Show and MADtv.
