Well I just figured out they're coming in 12 days and tickets are still available. I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, and now since Pink Floyd is basically broken up I thought this would be the next best thing seeing as they're known as a great cover band. Just asking though has anybody seen them, dya think it's worth the 43$ per ticket? Am I for sure to be pleased, it's just that they're a cover band and and all.

FWIW, I saw them on our local PBS (public) television station about a month ago or so. I have to say I was quite impressed!

My brother has seen them in Aus and he is a huge pink floyd fan and said it was worth every cent. Closest thing a person his age could get to seeing them.

I saw them on TV also. They sound just like P.F. and have a very similar HUGE light show. I guess their stage show is similar when I think about it. P.F. was all about the lights, music and special effects but more or less just stood there and played ... not a lot of stage personality. And the cover P.F. band is about the same. BUT AGAIN ... great light show, they sound just like them and they even have the 3 sexy chick back up singers. Frankly it blows my mind that a band can become so popular as a COVER TRIBUTE BAND to become known all over the world. But they are ... good for them. They've become world famous doing someone elses gig! Amazing!

I have some mates who've seen them a couple of times and they really rate them.

I've seen them three times so far and also have tickets to see them again in a few weeks. They do a GREAT show.

Go if you have the chance.

EDIT - While you're listening, make sure you also pay attention to the screens for the subtle and not-so-subtle "Australian-ized" videos and graphics.
