The Surrogate Pink Floyd Show
Clydebank Town Hall, December 2007
(224 words)
One could be forgiven for thinking that Clydebank had been paid a visit by rock legends Pink Floyd after witnessing the performance in the town hall on the first of the month. In actual fact it was a Glasgow-based tribute act who go by the name of The Surrogate Pink Floyd Show, and who stop at nothing to recreate the legendary live spectacle of their heroes. Strobe lights flash and dry ice fills the stage as the band power through Floyd classics such as ‘Money’, ‘Wish You Were Here’, ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ (dedicated to the late Syd Barrett) and of course, ‘Another Brick In The Wall’. Lead singer Jer emulates David Gilmour’s vocals extremely well, while his bandmates prove themselves to be exceptional musicians, in particular guitarist Joe who flawlessly performs the guitar pieces of Gimour and Waters note-for-note. Each song is met with tremendous applause from the relatively small audience, which the band feed off of; ‘Are all Clydebank people this nice?’ they ask, before launching into songs from Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ album, also suggesting that everyone buys two copies of the Post when they are featured. The future of the real Pink Floyd is uncertain at the moment, but while tributes as authentic as The Surrogate Pink Floyd Show are around, little is left to be desired.

I just saw the Classic Albums Live group perform The Wall album in its entirety at Massey Hall. For those of you unfamiliar with them, they treat classic rock albums as pieces of classical music and attempt to play them live as faithfully as possible. The incredible Rob Phillips (from the Montreal PF tribute act Eclipse) sang and played lead guitar for most of the show.

They also had a school choir, horn section and strings as well as a few props like the TV set and electric drill (for "Hey You"). There was even a greatly Waters-esque singer and percussionist off cackling and sneering in the corner! Not much other production, just the music played much as it is on the original album.

As an encore they also pulled out "One of These Days", "The Great Gig in the Sky", "Effervescing Elephant" (!) and "Wish You Were Here". A good show, for sure. Certainly whetted my appetite for Roger's tour this fall!
