Rare performances from the Shelley Archives

Presented by
The City of Hoboken, Projected Images of Hudson County and Stevens Institute of Technology Division of Technology and the Arts, in the College of Arts and Letters

Thursday Nov. 18th
Pink Floyd (1966-1980)
Approx. 90 min.
From their early work with the legendary but doomed Syd Barrett to later iconic albums like Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, Pink Floyd have created a body of work that ranks among the greats of rock and roll. Pink Floyd exploded on Swinging London's music scene during the mid 1960s with their strange, trippy, spaced out, psychedelic sound.  This evening of amazing performances will present a full retrospective of Pink Floyd's entire career.

Celebrating Frank Sinatra's 95th Birthday
The Legend & Legacy of Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra returns front and center in this special one-night-only celebration of his musical legacy, featuring rare television, concert, and motion picture performances. These rare clips present Sinatra in solo performances and with some of his favorite singing partners, including Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Gene Kelly, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, and even Elvis!

There will be a Q & A with archivist Bill Shelley following each presentation as well as a performance by ACE - the Alternative Controller Ensemble, comprised of students in Stevens Institute's Music & Technology Program.

These are exclusive New Jersey Premiere presentations. These collections are unavailable anywhere else and are part of the personal and private collection of the Shelley Archives. Each film pieces together footage from rare concerts, television show performances (from Europe & USA), promos, interviews, out-takes, rehearsal footage, home movies and more from a wide-ranging variety of musical subjects.
