Pink Floyd Tributes - which one is best?

Finnforest wrote: Cacho, the material is meaningless coming from other people (to me.) Before I would see Aussie Floyd I would invest in Pulse or Live London or The WAll DVD and crank it up on a good home theater system. At least its the artist, if not....in the flesh (pun intended.)   Covers in general interest me not at all. We'll have to disagree on that one. But we are sadly lacking a good live Floyd DVD from the '73-80 period. I honestly don't know what they hell those two are waiting for (Dave and Rog). Get it out of the vault for chrissakes. I'm sure on that we both agree!!

I don't agree, sorry

But as you said, Pink Floyd is lacking of their magnum opus' albums live DVD's. Before watching the mediocre Pulse or Live London, I prefer to see Aussie Floyd giving a hell of a show as Pink Floyd does just without the amazing show of lights, etc.

The only good DVD's IMO are The Wall and Pompeii. But Pompeii isn't really a concert so it really doesn't fullfil what this thread talks about, live perfomances. And The Wall, well, it' The Wall, it's not something that apeals you, since it's not the album from them you play often, generally.

We don't agree, but it's not something really to agree, neither, right?

Thank you for your thoughts.  You are right - the best is Pink Floyd - I fully agree - but I just can't get to go see them anymore.

I heard someone say once "the only way to fully appreciate a band is to see them live"

With Pink Floyd - and many other Prog bands of old - this leaves us with tribute bands.  So the question ia altered - which ones are any good?

^ Don't agree, sorry. This is why: I think if you can't see the original why don't see a live band that plays heck as similar. I love Pink Floyd, and I went to see Aussie Floyd and they were fantastic. Of course it's another thing, I'll never shout: "Hey I went to see Aussie Floyd!". but still hearing live your fave songs from a fave band though being played by another band, I care a damn. Pink Floyd is dead, so there's no other way to see their songs performed live, living it live, without paying a tribute band.

Pink Floyd itself.

I went to see the Australian Pink Floyd, and they were awesome.  I have heard of others - like Think Floyd, Over the Wall.

Which do you think is best?  Or which ones are good, which are bad?
