ANAHEIM

8 p.m.

Pop Music

Here’s an intriguing concept: Take the songs of progressive rock group Pink Floyd and cast them with a blues tint. That’s the idea behind Blue Floyd, which plays in Anaheim on Sunday on a bill with another ‘70s relic, Quicksilver Messenger Service. Once you think about it, Blue Floyd isn’t such a huge stretch. Floydians Syd Barrett and Roger Waters often had a blues thread in their music. Remember the bluesy break in their 1973 hit “Money”?

* Blue Floyd, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Sun Theatre, 2200 E. Katella Ave., Anaheim. 8 p.m. $18.50. (714) 712-2700.

COSTA MESA

4 p.m.

Music

Created for the opening of a major league team’s new spring-training stadium in Arizona, Momix’s “Baseball” has evolved into a full-evening work of movement and theater. The company, founded 18 years ago by Moses Pendleton, has been heralded for its innovative use of props, light, music and athletic and dance movement to create otherworldly, witty and humorous imagery.
