It's not always easy to get out to see your favorite artist or band perform. In fact, it's pretty difficult these days! Tickets are expensive, fees are high, and that's if you can even get them at all before resellers and scalpers game the online waiting room systems.
In the next couple of months, we've got big Imagine Dragons and Hans Zimmer shows. And there's the exciting remaster of Pink Floyd's fabled LIVE AT POMPEII, which most fans have only seen on old VHS, poor DVD or smudgy online presentations, if at all. The Pompeii set is a real gem in Pink Floyd's catalog, with incredible performances of some of the band's landmark early songs.
Here's how you can watch some big concerts in movie theaters.
