I just saw The Machine tonight, and they were phenominal! Even though it was a Pink Floyd Tribute band, they definately exceeded my expectations. They played the songs perfectly to their original form, but also elaborated some of the jammier sections which added to the live atmosphere. Songs like Have A Cigar and Run Like Hell were lengthened with extended solo sections and jams... and they even created their own spacey/trippy segue between Echoes and One of These Days. Also, one of the highlights for me was the talkbox solo in Pigs... it was flawless! Besides their music, their light show was also amazing! If you're a Floyd fan, you should definately check this band out.
I was also very happy with their setlist... they played something from almost every album and played more than the radio friendly songs. Though, most of their early era was neglected... there was nothing from A Saucerful of Secrets thru Atom Heart Mother, and also Obscured By Clouds was not present. This was their setlist:
Welcome to the Machine Mother Speak To Me/Breathe Time Sorrow Happiest Days of Our Lives > Another Brick In The Wall, part II > Another Brick In The Wall, part III > Goodbye Cruel World The Fletcher Memorial Home Have A Cigar (extended jam) Pigs on the Wing, part I Pigs --Intermission-- Sheep Echoes, part I > One of These Days Coming Back To Life One of My Turns > Young Lust Wish You Were Here Interstellar Overdrive > Lucifer Sam Run Like Hell (extended jam) --Encore-- Comfortably Numb
Even though I heard some of my favorites from Wish You Were Here & Animals, I still would have liked to hear stuff like Set The Controls or Atom Heart Mother... and I would have really liked to see Shine On You Crazy Diamond. But oh well, at least we got ECHOES!

I've seen the machine twice, and funny you should mention what you wish you'd heard.... my first time they played Shine On You Crazy Diamond with this amazing tenor sax player, and the second time they took a few songs off of Obscured By Clouds! It seems their setlist is constantly changing. A great tribute band nonetheless, one of the best!
