I have tickets to see Think Floyd on 4th July (good day for you folks stateside!!) at my favourite music venue, The Met at Bury.  I have seen them before and they are very very good.  The only band (Floyd or tribute) I've known to play the second half of Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
 
The cost is only £12.00, and for that you get great music, a top venue, no booking fee, no ticketmaster and great value .  Bring it on.

We pull SOYCD, the longer version, off quite frequently...fun, fun tune to play. the solo section can get waaaaay out.

Am I the only one who thinks he means Pink Floyd is the best Pink Floyd cover band, and possibly meant it in an insulting way?


I agree. I saw Roger Waters once, playing the complete DSOTM plus some other stuff, and I'd rate him slightly better than Aussie Floyd. Both are great tribute bands.

Pink Floyd music should be considered classical. Orchestra's live by playing music made by long-dead composers, why shouldn't rockbands live by playing music made by not-so-long-dead rockbands? As long as they do a good job, I'm all for it.

I managed to see "The Pink Floyd Experience" not too long ago, and I thought they were very humble about what they were doing admitting that they were just fans like everyone else. Their setlist had a varied feel to it, spanning the whole PF discography. They are somewhat underrated in my opinion. Additionally it didn't hurt that they DIDN'T play "Another Brick In the Wall Pt 2" which we can all do without if you are a true fan.

I found an amazing PF tribute album the other day: Out Of Phase; DSOTM 2001. They recreated DSOTM in its entirety. The eclectic take on the songs were excellent & creative. They took aspects of music not really explored on the original PF DSOTM and employed them on this release. Nothing beats the original, but Out Of Phase's interpretation was like listening to the original DSOTM with a different set of ears and not wanting to choke on your supper.

The Aussie Floyd played all of The Wall and Dark Side and featured incredible laser show - i couldnt fault them... Next best thing to the real deal.

Epsilon do a range of Floyd stuff as well as other prog covers from the big names. I managed to record most of their version of Wish You Were Here last Saturday at the Portland Rock Bar, Brighton, UK.
Always my favourite song.

Ps. I must admit that's my brother on bass
