by far, the best pink floyd cover around is "The Machine." They're pretty big on the east coast and HUGE in Europe, especially Germany. www.themachinelive.com

they are so insanely good it's almost like listening to the actual CD. They do the whole laser light show, and in some shows will play wizard of oz on the screen behind them. Hell, they're so go they even get the sax guy from the Roger Waters Band to play with them at most shows. Right now, Miramax is looking at them to play for the broadway production of "The Wall." So you can't get much better than them then to actually see Pink FLoyd.

These guys are awesome to their fans too. They'll play until they get kicked out. I was at a concert once where they played until 4 in the morning. By far, they are the best.

Is anyone planning on going to The Machine show in Glenside, Pennsylvania on May 13th?

Here liveth the downloads page for the Pink Floyd Experience.

Although there's guff about RealPlayer mentioned, these mp3s play on iTunes with no issues and they're actually really good.

I was a little bit concerned because they didn't have their usual guitar player who is one of the best guitarists in Norway (He is working as musical director on the show of two of Norway's most popular comedians) But the replacement was great on most of the tracks. The band play the song the same way as the original but tries to put their own style to the songs at the same time. The drummer sings almost all the lead vocals. If Nick Mason had got the same voice Pink Floyd wouldn't have any problems to choose the vocalist on "Have A Cigar" and "Don't Leave Me Now". In addition "Fletcher Memorial" and "Nobody Home" was two great performances. In "Us & Them" they used speeches from George W. Bush and one islamist leader instead of the voices usual heard. In "Fletcher Memorial" the lyrics was changed a bit with the world leader's of today. I was "really drunk at the time" but the concert was great. It was a band I would love to see again. But IMHO a Pink Floyd cover band has to play Syd Barrett piece (i.e. "Interstellar Overdrive") before it is a true tribute band.
