Wow what a coincidence! I just saw their name on a ticketmaster alert email and was thinking of checking them out. Dec 8th in NYC. The attached photo with what looked like a piggy prop looked

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

zoots,
you should totally go!

 

[DaveC]

I saw them once a couple years ago (when they were doing Dark Side of the Moon) with my dad. 3rd row center, unbelievable show.. I choked up during C. Numb when I realized that would be the closest I'll ever come to hearing the real thing play it live.

But long story short, these guys are good. Close your eyes during a solo and you'll never be able to tell the difference. Highly recommended

Huh, they're coming to Seattle soon; they're playing not far from where I work, and everytime I drive by, I see the sign and am all "Australian Pink Floyd? The hell? Is there a Finlandian Pink Floyd? A Zimbabwean Pink Floyd?"

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

WOWie WOW WOW!!!

what brillant amazing show... they played for about 3hrs! spectacular light show and they were tight and spot on! Anyone who gets a chance to see them do it! We saw them in a great old theater called the Hippodrome in Baltimore.. Great sound. I took some pics I will post them sometime tomorrow...

[pepokiss]

it's weird going around making a living out of other people's songs...


but I hear they're amazing...

 

[Lila64]

They played in L.A. on the same night as the final Genesis reunion show last month. And no, we didn't go. I ended up at a U2 Tribute show

they have been doing it since the late 80s... And from what I hear David Gilmour approves.. He has performed with them before. Also, the back up singers are amazing, especially this one girl..wow! A little thing with a HUGE voice.

and this sounds awesome:

For The First Time In Over 25 Years Pink Floyd's Legendary Rock Opera THE WALL - live in concert and in its entirety performed by The Australian Pink Floyd Show.

The World Premiere of an amazing new stage production including animation, lasers & inflatables. PLUS a very special 'greatest hits' encore
'The Best Tribute Show In The World'
'They do Floyd better than Floyd' - DAILY MAIL, London
'The Best Tribute Show in The World' - THE TIMES, London
'I defy ANY Floyd fan to not punch the air in delight' LE MONDE, Paris
'They really are very, very good indeed' - DAVID GILMOUR

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the release of Pink Floyd's seminal 1979 classic rock opera THE WALL, the live phenomenon that is The Australian Pink Floyd Show will tour North American venues this fall with their jaw-dropping World Premiere of Pink Floyd's legendary rock opera The Wall. A brand new performance of the complete album in its majestic entirety. Every amazing musical piece note-for-note!

The work has not been performed live on this scale for over 25 years, not since Pink Floyd toured it themselves. But now it is back, in all its glory, performed by the band that the London Daily Mail say, 'do Floyd better than Floyd do themselves.'

Having already wowed audiences Stateside over the course of the last four years, this magnificent new USA and Candian tour will be even bigger, even better, and an even closer replica of the epic rock that was a live Pink Floyd show at its most flamboyant.

A brand new sound and light show will bring The Wall - arguably Floyd's greatest ever work ? to life, with new animations, new lasers, new character inflatables, new stunning special effects but most importantly, the awesome soundscape that has blown the mind of millions of Pink Floyd fans across the world for the past 15 years.

The meticulous attention to detail of the musicianship ? every facet of Floyd's 'The Wall' will be reproduced note for note, sound for sound by the fastidiously talented musicians - is what ultimately has kept the fans coming back for more. And more. And more. They just can't believe their eyes and ears.

Floyd's frontman David Gilmour has given the show his own glowing endorsement and here's a unique chance to hear again the likes of 'Comfortably Numb', 'Hey You', 'Another Brick In The Wall', 'Run Like Hell' and every other track on the album performed within the stunning context of the work as a whole.

Every night the show will conclude with a special Pink Floyd 'Greatest Hits' encore.

woohoo!! I can't wait!
