8pm

Pop Music

Pink Floyd will be a hot commodity this holiday season, what with a new double-CD “best of” compilation hitting stores Tuesday. Because the venerable British group has no plans to tour in the foreseeable future, the nearest we’ll get to the Floyd live experience is the tribute band Blue Floyd, which plays the Galaxy in Santa Ana. This cross-generational quartet consists of current and former members of the Allman Brothers Band, the Black Crowes, the Robby Krieger Band and the Dickey Betts Band.

* Blue Floyd at Galaxy Concert Theatre, 3503 S. Harbor Blvd., Santa Ana. With Dharma Tribe, Sunchild. 8 p.m. $20. (714) 957-0600.
