While not a concert, Laser Rock at the Hayden Planetarium goes down as a musical experience in my book. While in this day and age, lasers pulsating on a planetarium ceiling synchronized to a tock music soundtrack may seem like a stretch for a Saturday night out in Manhattan but depending on the state of mind you were in at the time, it was a pretty cool way to spend a Saturday evening with nothing much else to do. The first time I actually saw lasers in action was at Madison Square Garden during Jimmy Page’s “Dazed and Confused” inspired bow solo. The technology is obviously way more advanced today, but at the time it was definitely visually eye-popping, especially to a bunch of teenage rock and rollers from Queens.

Dark Side of the Moon

Rock on!
