Aussie floys are good, but try this: 


I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I went to see The Musical Box last year (or was it the year before) and they played most of Lamb Lies Down Broadway Part One and I loved that. The 'fudging' of material from Trick and W&W didn't work quite as well to my ears but a fun gig nevertheless.

The only time The Aussie Floyd came to Barcelona I was away on a business trip and missed them, dammit !! All my friends say it was such a good show and that they sounded so awesome.

I've seen The Musical Box 3 or 4 times, indeed one of the best tribute bands out there. They've got all the genuine atrezzo used by Genesis at the time and they sound excellent.

A few weeks ago I went to a concert by 2YY2, a Spanish Rush tribute band, they were quite ok.

I've also seen Letz Zep (Zeppelin tribute, quite good), Regenesis (another tribute band of Gabriel-era Genesis) and surely some others I don't remember right now.

But the best Rush cover I've seen is the full Permanent Waves album by Tyler Warren:

I only wish I could find a good quality concert by The Musical Box to post here, but all of the poor quality videos I've seen  on YouTube look as if they've been filmed on someone's camera phone in the audience.
 
I did find this though.....

I go to see them every year as they are constantly touring. They have it off to perfection although it would be better to go and catch one of their shows than watch an old video imo.

I'm watching the Australian Pink Floyd show right now. They are so good, they sound just like the real thing. It's a great light show too! Smile

The Australian Pink Floyd are arguably one of the best tribute bands of all time, and here they are in concert at the Hammersmith Apollo, London in 2011.
