The AussieFloyd teleport straight to Pink Floyd
by Michal Korpalski on 7/7/23Rating: 5 out of 5The band invited by David Gilmour to play at Pink Floyd's frontman 50th birthday, The Australian Pink Floyd, is one of the most famous tribute bands in music history.
Their ability to recreate Pink Floyd's culture, political impact, sound, instrumental rhythm, show light work techniques, biographical evolution, philosophical nuances, is so tight and disciplined that if one's looking for the loud echo of the original band, here they are.
Helped onstage and on the screen by kangaroos (hey, what did you think, they're the AussieFloyd), pigs, videos and images of Syd Barrett, Rick Wright, Dave Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, of the Moon, Sun, nuclear explosions, animated cuts from "The Wall"movie, docu clips of people involved into political protests, so by all that what is associated with Pink Floyd, The Australian Pink Floyd used perfectly to mentally teleport the audience to different dimension and mindset already known.
Chris Barnes (vocals), David Domminney Fowler (guitar, vocals ), Luc Ledy-Lepine (guitar, vocals), Ricky Howard (bass, vocals), Jason Sawford (keyboards), Paul Bonney (drums), backing vocalists (Lorelei McBroom, Emily Lynn, Lara Smiles), saxophonists (Mike Kidson, Alex Francoise) - with Steve Mac (guitar, vocals) missing at this time - performed faithfully to the core songs from albums "The Dark Side of the Moon", "Animals", "Wish You Were Here", "The Wall"
