They do Floyd better than Floyd DAILY MAIL The Best Tribute Show in The World THE TIMES They really are very, very good indeed - DAVID GILMOUR
The Australian Pink Floyd Showhave, over the past fifteen years, developed into one of the best and most watched rock shows on the planet; their audience over thousands of shows in arenas in every continent runs into the millions and the phenomenon just keeps on growing.
This spectacular show is now established around the world as one the definitive concerts for live music audiences, with Floyd fans of all ages embracing the staggering note-for-note perfection of the music and the incredible state-of-the art sound & lights production, including lasers and inflatables; it is truly the genuine reincarnation of the Floyd live experience.
The Australian Pink Floyd Show was formed in Adelaide, South Australia in 1988, but weren't known as this until relocating to the UK. They were the first Pink Floyd tribute band to tour in the UK back in 1993, starting off with the first International Pink Floyd fan convention at Wembley convention centre. The event was run in conjunction with Brain Damage magazine.
They received the ultimate endorsement in 1996, becoming the only Floyd tribute band to be asked to perform for a member of Pink Floyd, namely David Gilmour's 50th birthday celebrations in London At his 50th birthday party, The Australian Pink Floyd worked with many of the crew members who had been on The Division Bell world tour. As Britannia Row supplied the production for the event, much of the sound and lighting equipment was the exact same gear that had been used at Earl's Court.
At Dave Gilmour's birthday, the APF were joined on stage by Richard Wright and Guy Pratt, for a rousing rendition of Comfortably Numb. They then happily handed over their instruments to David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Guy Pratt, Tim Renwick, Gary Wallis and Claudia Fontaine, and were treated to renditions of 'Money', 'What do you want from me', and various other jams, much to the delight of the other party guests.
