What was the last live performance you saw?
Last year, weeks before I sat for my Certified Ambulatory Perianesthesia Nurse (CAPA) exam, my husband approached me with free tickets to this Brit Floyd concert that was to be approximately 7 days before my exam in our city. I had no idea who they were or if I wanted to see some fake Pink Floyd a week before my exam. I learned that they are one of the top 10 Pink Floyd tribute bands. I decided to go because of music’s many benefits to the brain when studying AND because Pink Floyd is one of my favorites.
That concert was Dark Side of the Moon’s 50th Anniversary. They played songs from Dark Side of the Moon and some of my other favorites. They really do sound just like Pink Floyd. It was a spectacular show that moved my soul. It took me back to times in my life when some of those songs were playing in the background of my day to day existence. It made me smile for that whole last week before my exam. Needless to say I include that concert as a contributor to my exam success.
Fast forward to this year. Brit Floyd returned to my city on their 2024 Pulse Tour celebrating the 30th Anniversary of their Division Bell album. We went and thoroughly enjoyed the concert again as the music had the same moving affect as it did in 2023.
