Soon find out...........

Aussie Floyd are phenomenal but IMO the Olympia is just too small to do them justice.

Having seen that video, maybe the..
Best Australian Pink Floyd "tribute band" in Australia, may be closer.

It's Perth. Thousands of km's from anywhere.

We take what we can get!

Saw the Aussie Floyd & Brit Floyd many times before moving here, I have no expectation these guys will even come close to those 2 bands, but like I say - you take what live Floyd experience you can get here.

Me too.
I was lucky to see this tour in 2015 and 2016, both shows at the Royal Albert Hall.
Roll on tomorrow and indeed the 29th, when the CD/Blu-ray hits the stores.

Saw this in Dungarvan Weds night. Shows how much I enjoyed it, thought it went way too fast.

Surprisingly enough there were a few seats left up the back, which made it a very comfortable evening for moving around, bar, toilets etc. Here's a little taster;

I think that's a bit harsh. He wrote most of the tunes that he plays, so it is hardly a "mime act". It certainly won't be anything like a PF show when they were in their prime, but RW always gives his all and puts on a great show. I would prefer if he played a good bit of his older solo stuff, but PF is what the vast majority of the crowd want so he goes with that. No harm there though, he has an impressive back catalogue to choose from.

Sheridan81 · 18-10-2017 4:12pm

I think they're quite a good band but overrated. The Wall, Dark Side and Meddle are probably their best. Having said that, Syd Barrett's songs like See Emily Play were the most endearing for me. I'm selling a few of my PF cd albums for cheap price, PM if interested.

K.Flyer · 18-10-2017 10:20pm

But it was Barrett's influence that gave us what we got, the entire journey of the band started with his concepts before he dropped out.
A great example would be to listen carefully to Astronomy Domine and Interstellar Overdrive, then jump forward to UmmaGumna, Atom Heart and Meddle and (imo) the influence continued.
Barrett started the long spacey improv pieces and Waters carried it on into later albums with the ultimate salute back to I.O. being Dark Side.

Pink Floyd, From The Piper to the Bell.

I love them but I always just don't include the Barrett era as the same band at all as it's a bad mark against the name. Absolute tripe.

Couldn't disagree more, they wouldn't have had half the success they had without him, without him.... If you know what I mean.
His shadow loomed large over then for many years and his influence was tangible.

As for the music, well I'm a barrett fan as my username suggests. His early Floyd stuff is easily comparable to similar quintessential English bands of the era such as the move and the nice. His work was actually a very strong influence on more modern artists like David Bowie, Marc bolan, Julian cope Damon Albarn etc. Whimsical childlike observations on a world with frequent dark undertones. See emily play is an amazing song for such early work... And piper is a true classic album... Innovative and new and both extraterrestrial and introverted at the same time.

I went to see Brit Floyd in Stavanger last week, great show in fairness to them, some good music.

Just had my first ever purchase of a pink floyd album arrive today. I've never listened to them before and I have to say, Wish You Were Here is stellar.

I still remember where and when I bought my first Pink Floyd album. We had gone into Dolphin Discs in Talbot St to buy Dark Side of the Moon with my birthday money, after playing my best friends big brother's copy any chance we could get, and it was sold out. Not wanting to leave empty handed I bought Relics instead.
It sort of gets a bit addictive after a while.
This pic was taken a good few years ago, its easily doubled in size now.

Or can I recommend another live album? P.U.L.S.E. - For me one of the best live albums I have ever heard...by anyone/band.

After the premiere of Pulse Richard Wright said he had always wondered what it was like to see themselves from the audience viewpoint.

Alas Rednik, You were right, it was only a segment. I was at David's Gig in Wroclaw, and if the Pompeii Gig was the same then He performed for 2.5 hours, but this programme was only an hour long:-(((

Speaking of Pompeii, something to whet the appetite:

The BBC were never going to show the full concert as it was only recently released on dvd/blu ray. I have it and it is well worth buying. The concert run time is just over 2.5 hours and is the same show as I saw in the RAH in 2015 albeit with a different band.

For fans of old skool Pink Floyd..

Back in 1970 when in the U.S. they did a recording for a tv station KQED.

Here is a really interesting article about that recording and chance to see a previously unreleased video of Pink Floyd playing Astronomy Domine
