Topic: The Australian Pink Floyd Show 2009 UK Tour

[RedSam]

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of the greatest album ever, The Australian Pink Floyd Show will be performing The Wall in it's entirety. The Wall is without doubt my favourite album of all time. Saw the band in April this year at Sheffield Arena where they performed parts of The Wall and it was stunning. Also have the Liverpool Docks DVD. This will be the first time the album has been played as a whole since Floyd last toured it and the band have a new, bigger stage show to complement the music. Now that Rick has gone Floyd can never reform, so this is as good as it will ever get. I cannot wait.

Tickets go on sale Friday 14 November at 9.00am. I'll be knocking on the box office door at Sheffield Arena.

No Liverpool? Well fuck 'em 

[Cochise]

My brother saw these a while back and said they were boss. I, on the other hand, think Pink Floyd are shite.

[Regi]

They are fantastic.
Brilliant show all round...even if you weren't the biggest Floyd fan

[Terry de Niro]

I'm glad I got the chance to see the real Pink Floyd.

The only band I ever saw that was better the further away you were. They used the sky as their canvas with their dirigibles and other props.

The only reunion I really want to see again.

So, prey tell, who do you like? (Go on, give us a laugh)

[Regi]

Dave Gilmour himself said he was astounded how good this lot were.
No greater recommendation than that.
Don't miss it

[RedSam]

Outside the Arena box office at 9.00am. Had to compete with loads of hormonal teenagers going ape because Girls Aloud had sold out within 10 minutes (what's that all about?).

Any way, got 3 tickets for centre block downstairs, 8 rows back. CANNOT wait 'till April. All I need now is The Wall remixed to DTS 5.1 (come on guys, you know it makes sense for the 30th anniversary).

Not doubting the Australian Pink Floyd are any good or anything, but I am absolutely amazed a tribute band plays (and probably sells out) the venues listed below.

Wouldn't surprise me if they swerved the ECHO because of the kick offs that seem to go off in  that place whenever there seems to be a gig. The security had murder when the Auzzie PF last played there.

[Mr Boat]

Couldn't see another thread for this so I'm reviving this one.

Went to see Brit Floyd last night in Bournemouth. It was really short notice (free tickets) and I'd just driven 4 hours back from the Newcastle game and really wasn't keen; don't really like tribute bands too much. Anyway....I was completely shocked at how good it was and loved every minute. The girl on Great Gig in the Sky had the goosebumps forming.....highly recommended and I'd definitely go again. They also gave out free DVD of the gig in Liverpool infront of 7,000  with each ticket which I've just watched and it's made me even more eager to catch them again.

[Kop4]

Competition for the Ozzie Pink Floyd at last?

Not seen either but the Oz version got a great write-up in The Times a few weeks back...... And similar to you the reporter was not one for 'cheesey' tribute bands.

[Buck Pete]

Just booked to see Australian Pink Floyd on 4th Nov at Manchester Apollo 02.

Don't want to wish the summer away but excited is an understatement.

Was a toss up between Aussie PF and Brit Floyd.  Brit Floyd are currently touring USA and Europe (but not UK) this year, so going to see the Aussie was a no-brainer.

Aussie Pink Floyd should really be called Musk Stick Floyd to avoid confusion.

[ToneLa]

do any of these just do Syd's stuff?

Like I'd definitely go a Piper show with lights it would be amazing

[Nobby Reserve]

I've seen Brit Floyd (at Liverpool)

And the Australian Doors (that was the ill-fated Stoke/Hanley trip)


Never got to see Floyd together live, though. Nearest was seeing Roger Waters at the MEN, sat about 20 foot from the front corner of the stage (close enough to feel the heat from the flame throwers). Was just before the smoking ban came in, and the place had the most amazing weed-haze. I was very stoned throughout and it was just an awesome experience.

Saw aussie pink floyd last night at Nottingham, must say what a GIG. Still on a high now, They've announced a darkside 50 tour next year if anyone would like to go see them. Highly recomended..

[liverbloke]

saw them a couple of years back and they were brill

it was at the (then echo) arena but a few members of the audience got pretty upset that 'we' - we of the front rows - weren't up and moving and shouting and gyrating!

ffs it's floyd songs - you sit there and are enveloped by the music - it's not a fucking taylor swift concert y'know
