‘Magnificent’ a musical masterpiece! – Ticketmaster
But most importantly, lets not bore you with corporate canned quotes and instead offer our own comments from 2002 as massive Pink Floyd fans.
When watching a tribute band, there are three categories that matter: the music, the visuals and the experience. We will discuss each one of those briefly as they relate to what we saw tonight.
The Music – The music is by far the single most important factor when seeing a tribute band. How successful are the artists on stage in recreating the sound of the original band and the songs so familiar to us from the album? Well let me tell you without hesitation that Brit Floyd is absolutely spot on. They are obviously very talented musicians and must have spent countless hours mastering every note that Pink Floyd created. The voices of Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Syd Barrett, and even Roy Harper (you did know that Roy Harper sang Have A Cigar right?) were emulated with eerie accuracy.
The Visuals – Freakin awesome. When I see tribute bands I like to close my eyes and engulf myself in the music, with Brit Floyd I didn’t want to close my eyes as to not miss anything happening on stage (or beside the stage as with the flying pig). Lasers, smoke machines, oval screen with Floyd movies, massive spotlights, and everything you would expect from a Floyd show was there and complemented the musical journey.
The Experience – Of course nothing can capture the experience of seeing Pink Floyd in 1975, but if use your imagination a bit and fully submerge yourself to the visual and aural experience of Brit Floyd you will get as close as possible to the real thing (considering you are living in 2012). As word of mouth and the social media machine picks up steam this band will be in even higher demand.
