I'm seeing them on the 29th!
I've heard nothing but good things about them. The Pink Floyd members even gave them good reviews.

We already went to hear some Pink Floyd with Roger Waters not long time ago, so we will pass this one. I am sure that this show will be nice to see. ------------- C'est la vie |

Hi, my first post...... I have seen these guys twice in the UK this year, they did an 'album' tour, followed by a few 'best of' shows. For the 'Album' tour, the first half of the show contained an entire album (one of DSOTM, WYWH or Animals), the second half is a 'best of the rest'. They play for about 2 1/2 hours in total with a 20 minute interval. Birmingham NIA Setlist (album tour) :- Wish You Were Here:- Shine on pt1 Astronomy Domine Learning to Fly Pigs Time Great Gig.. Us & Them Keep Talking One of These Days Happiest Days/Another Brick II Comfortably Numb Run Like Hell I also saw them for a 'best of' show in Liverpool , which consisted of :- Shine On Astronomy Domine Learning to Fly Time Great Gig Us & Them Pigs Echoes High Hopes Sheep One of these Days Happiest days/Another Brick II Hey You Comfortably Numb Wish you were here Run like Hell If you get a chance, please go to see them. I could not fault the playing or the visuals. To call them a 'Tribute' band is a crime. visit thier website for sample mp3's, I'm sure there's a few youtube vids available as well. By the way, I have no connection with the band (other than my love for Floyd) One thing I will say, is these guys start on time, get there early to make sure you don't miss the start. |

I would strongly recommend for anybody, Pink Floyd fan, or not; to go and see this show. I have seen them three times in SLC, and each show seems to improve upon the last. I will be seeing them again on Nov, 02. And I am highly anticipating the show. The Addition of "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," and "Sheep," should truly be something to witness. However, I would like to see a different opening album. It's been "Dark Side of the Moon" every time I have seen them. Animals, preferably.
I believe the song "What do you want from me," is actually "Keep Talking." Close enough, I suppose.

They did not play the complete DSOTM for the 2nd show, and included some different tracks. It looks like they are mixing it up. - I'm getting this info (inc set lists) off various dedicated APF sites, but cannot guarantee total the accuracy. |

That would be cool to hear them perform "Astronomy Domine,' but I'm not sure how well they could duplicate Syd's "chaotic" style. I personally didn't think they did a great job with "Learning to Fly," but they've probably mastered it by now. I wish they would just play the whole "Animals" album; not just one song each time.
I guess it's not recognizable enough to the majority audience.
No matter what the set-list, I'm sure I'll enjoy the show immensely. I always do.

I saw their show last night (The 26th) at the San Jose Civic Center, They put on a pretty mean show. The music was top notch, the laser-light show was amazing, and some of the songs were breathtaking. They played the set that enigma posted, very good show. |

Sounds like you enjoyed it ! I think there are 1 or 2 personnel changes for this tour, but from what I've read, they are just as good as usual. |

Salt Lake City was an awesome show, again. It's my fourth time seeing them there. The first set didn't seem to get the crowd's attention like the second set.
I think that might be from some of the more obscure songs. I'm not entirely sure who they all were. Damien was the only recognizable front-man, while Ian - who filled in last time for Colin - was an Bass again. Steve Mac wasn't there at all, which is Bizarre since he is the lead guy.
Personel changes or not, they still pull it off.
The fact that they played Dogs and Pigs was absolutely mindblowing. I always considered Dogs my least favorite song of the Animals album, but after their performance of it, I'll have to reconsider.
The Gunners dream was very well done. Normally they play Fletcher Memorial, so that was a nice change.
All and all a great show. Hope you will have a chance to see 'em, enigma.

The comments above are extremely encouraging, except that whilst I live in Australia, I haven't been aware of the existence of such band here. 
Do they have a stage name? I'd like to investigate.
The set lists appear to be nicely balanced and I agree that the whole "Animals" would be more than welcome to hear/see.

The Australian Pink Floyd are very good and with a good sense of humour. They have some funny T shirts too. Animals with a Kangaroo hovering over Battersea power station and Dark Side of the Moon with the prism as a map of Aus.
Well worth seeing. ------------- When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory. |
