Australian Pink Floyd Show

A friend of mine is a huge fan of Pink Floyd – and he is raving about the Australian Pink Floyd Show. Another friend of my husband’s went to their concert in Chicago and said they were excellent. He was happy that they played a good range of the songs and said for the most part they were all huge crowd pleasers. In addition, the staging was fantastic. It was on a smaller scale than the Pink Floyd shows he had seen a decade or two ago, but said it was really great.

APF features two guitarists, a bass player, a drummer, a keyboard player, a saxophone player and two female backing singers. The band uses film and animation footage, just like the original Pink Floyd and adds some Aussie humor - instead of the filmed footage of the man in the flying bed in “On The Run” there was computer animation of a sunglassed kangaroo in a flying bed and Pink Floyd's footage of politicians for “Brain Damage” were replaced with other 'lunatics' of the past 20 years - i.e. Bush, Blair, Saddam Houssein.
