We weren't sure what to expect but were pleasantly surprised by how well these versed musicians played their instruments and mirrored the sweet sounds of Floyd. I would recommend this show to anyone that ever has heard a Floyd song. Next best thing to seeing the real thing.
This is the 2nd time we've seen PFX and they're always GREAT! Music is great and a great stage performance. We will see them anytime they're near. First time we've been in that venue though. We were down front, but off to one side, which made it difficult to see part of the stage. We'll know where to get seats for the next time.
I will definitely go and see them again the show, lights and music were awesome. My seats at Four Winds were awful and the hole environment was lame.
It was an extraordinary show! I would recommend this show to other's.
I would say they're decent but not great. Firstly the positives: - They did a few songs brilliantly (One of these days, run like hell) - The bass guitarist, the keyboard player and the drummer were excellent The negatives - Poor song selection (A Pink Floyd cover band concert without any of Time, High Hopes, Breathe, Another Brick in the Wall is not really done, is it?) - Poor lead guitar and singing - the lead guitarist barely did any of the famous Gilmour solos and did poorly on the ones he attempted, the singer's voice's volume was set way low as compared to the drums and the guitars, so it was very difficult to tell lyrics even for an ardent fan) - No female backing vocals (which in my opinion are an essential part of a lot of PF songs) - Nothing from the latest album (The Endless River) and nothing from the Syd Barrett era either - Us and Them was really crappy (the harmonic vocals were louder than the actual vocals and that made it sound like some completely different song) - Echoes was far away from the original track
I have never been to a Pink Floyd concert but felt like this was close. Great show lead singer did great vocals. All performers did a great job.
This show was okay. I'm glad I went but I wouldn't do it again.
Overall a good show. Muscianship was great! Sax player was fantastic! Was hoping to see a floating Pig, but that did not happen. Only played 1 song from Animals, which is my 2nd favorite Pink Floyd album. But the song they played was Sheep, which is my favorite song from that album, so that was cool. They played side 2 of DSOTM from start to finish, that was great! My favorite DSOTM song is Us and Them. Bass player rocked on One of These Days! They also played a couple early Sid Barrett era Pink Floyd songs and others from The Wall and Wish You Were Here. The show lasted about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Definately worth the $15 ticket price! Silver Creek Event Center is a great place to see a show! Out of all the shows I've seen, they always start on time and there has never been a warm up band. Straight to the Artists, which in my opinion is how it should be! Regards!
I purchased tickets for my husband for Christmas because he is a HUGE Pink Floyd fan. I didn't realize what a fan I was until after this concert!! They were great!!!
I have seen Pink Floyd, the Animals Tour, and the original Wall as well as Roger Water's recent re-invention of it. I have seen Australian Pink Floyd at the Hollywood Bowl (brilliant!) and a funky local, low-end Floyd in Santa Cruz (yawn) so I am well versed in Floyd renditions. This group ranks a short second to Australian Pink Floyd, even better than Waters' Wall reboot, which was great. If you like or love Pink Floyd's music, you must see this band. My girlfriend and I were skeptical, as I didn't find the videos on YouTube inspiring, but the whole evening was a total blast, with some serious high points that were far more stimulating than Pink Floyd themselves, and the reason is this: these guys LOVE this music, so much so that they have ALTERED it significantly, but most often for the better, and they play it with gusto and precision and power and are really IN IT so that you will be IN IT, too. And I have heard that Phil Collins once said, "I'd rather hear a B band with an A drummer." which is to say, the drummer is key to a group making it to "awesome" and this drummer was locked in, as Pink Floyd's music requires. In fact all the musicians were very first rate, and I am a rock musician myself so I do not say that lightly. The saxophone player, whom they fold into places that do not have sax in the original recordings, but always to the benefit of the song, never the detriment, was quite a special treat. Lastly, while I appreciate Roger Waters' work as a vocalist, he is not a strong vocalist, and for the first time this group has a singer who sings the songs truly much better than Waters does, and makes them far more musical by doing so. My congratulations to these dedicated gentlemen on a great performance, and I would be remiss to not mention the fantastic light and video show. There were moments I could do without the videos--the excessively long sheep video did not work for me or my girlfriend--and the requisite Money video was just so-so--but overall the show LOOKS great too, without trying to hard to exactly imitate a PF show. They, instead, made this a unique interpretation which at times exceeded the quality of the original music.
The musicians are extremely talented. the way to better enhance the group and the overall experience is to add at least 1, if not 2-3 female backup singers. Pink Floyd is the band they are because of that added talent.
The venue was nice. Staff was helpful, seats were great. Band sounded awesome and the lightshow was fun! it was a flashback to 10th grade!
The Pink Floyd Experience was an excellent show. Very talented musicians and nailed the Pink Floyd sound.
There was no flying pigs and screen did not work in the beginning of the show, but stil this was the best of them I did see. It was my fourth time to see PFX and they really did it. I'll go again.
The Band was perfect!! I don't know why they don't play "Time".
A must see show! Buy tickets early! Penn's Peak has delicious food and the bar has very reasonable prices...we will be back!
I will go every time they come around - AMAZING.... Bass player is excellent - never stops playing
If you are going to compare The Pink Floyd Experience to Australian Pink Floyd or the original band, Roger Waters, David Gilmore, you may be disappointed. But, if you go to this show and just take it in, you will enjoy it, because they will play tunes that I have not heard in years or even by the original band. They covered playing “Dogs”, “Echoes”, “Have a Cigar”, “Shine on you Crazy Diamond, Pt 2” “Pigs on the Wing” “Money” “Us and Them” “Eclipse”. The show is awesome, just let it happens and take it all in.
Not bad, but I was a little bit peeved that they simplified the hard parts. For example, when playing Hey You or Echoes, the parts that were difficult to play (like the fingerpicking on Hey You) they chose to play it in modified ways that were easier for them to play. Also, I think the lighting was a bit overdone. Lastly, it ran surprisingly long. That's not necessarily a criticism -- a lot of bands actually can't play that long, so they're talented that they can play this long. I was just really tired by the end of it. So, in conclusion, it was a reasonably good concert, however it wasn't worth the 60 bucks I paid for it.
Terrific. Great blend of standard and more obscure songs. Even Echoes in full!
