nebbish Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Going to see the Australian Pink Floyd 22nd April at the Odyssey Arena Belfast - I've heard great reports about them What should I expect? - anyone seen them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I saw them a few years ago in Dublin. Great playing, but very little audience interaction (Just like the real thing, then). I believe the lightshow now is much more spectacular. If I wasn't going to Jesus Christ Superstar in Derry on the same night, I'd go to the Odyssey myself.

Steevo Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) For the cover-band experience these NZ guys weren't half bad Not sure about the Aussie version http://www.pinkfloydexperience.co.nz/ Edited September 5, 2011 by Steevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I know someone who saw the show and she said it was really good. I don't think I'd spend $40 a ticket for a tribute band though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Seen them on TV a few times. They were a bit hit and miss for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sco703 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 They're coming here to Arizona so I'll probably go and see them seeing as Pink Floyd is probably my all-time favorite band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australian Floyd is worth every penny...and more!! I've seen them many times (7 or 8). The best Pink Floyd you're going to get (unless you got a chance to see RW do The Wall). Phenomenal show and exceptional musicians. I'm going to see them again this year (Oct 21st in St. Louis) and I can't wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natch Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 IMPORTANT NOTE: The Australian Pink Floyd that is touring this year is NOT the same Australian Pink Floyd band that has toured the last few years. The band split up, with much of the members joining Brit Floyd. Check out the website here: Brit Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have tickets to the Aussie Floyd show, I'll report back if they are as good as the last lineup. Maybe we'll get lucky and have the Brit Floyd show come through here as well.

At least on the website, it says that the entire touring personnel that did the 2009 and 2010 legs left. But why not just keep the same name? Am I missing something here? Or why did anyone leave at all if they all are still together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it all comes down to one thing: Money (Pardon the pun ) I imagine it has to do with contracts and money. It is likely that the former members of TAPFS had no right to the band name.

tjtull Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I went to see Aussie Floyd last Friday night. This was my 8th or 9th time seeing the band and I must admit, the show was a step down from previous shows. However, on the whole, it's still an exceptional performance. Musically speaking, the band is very tight. The major differences between this version of Aussie Floyd and the previous version are the vocals. The main singers didn't sound quite as close to Gilmour/Waters as before. Even with that, they still put on a superb show. If you haven't seen them before, you won't know the difference. Even if you have seen them before, they are worth seeing to get that Floyd fix. Bottom line, I had a great time and the band sounded great. We had great seats and it was well worth the price we paid. Great setlist as well: Set 1 Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) Welcome to the Machine Learning to Fly Coming Back to Life Arnold Layne Dogs One of These Days Set 2 Speak to Me Breathe On the Run Time Breathe (Reprise) The Great Gig in the Sky What Do You Want from Me The Happiest Days of Our Lives Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 Money Wish You Were Here Comfortably Numb Encore: Run Like Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
