Posted by: BigH47 on 04 February 2004

Off to see (Aussie)Pink Floyd to-night at Fairfield Halls, Croydon. Anniversary Tour for DSOTM. Should be interesting. Anyone else going?

I fancied going to see them locally can you let me know what you think of them and what sort of stuff they play, ie good spread from across the years/ early stuff / lateer stuff etc

Thanks

I saw APF at the Royal Albert Hall last November performing this show and very good they were too. The Female Lead on 'Great gig in the sky' was first class and I thought Astronomy Domine was the highlight of the 'Hits'.
Enjoy...

On most APF tours, they have a Theme i.e. DSOTM or Animals (See Tour Promos) and suppliment the show with ANY Floyd song. As Pink Floyd are highly unlikely to Tour again (quoting Dave Gilmour), you can see APF and have a good time.

Went with First Born to see them at Basingstoke and they were very, very good (if just a tad too loud).

Agree about the vocals on Great Gig, she got a standing ovation

Just got back ears are not ringing/whistling although it seemed pretty loud at the time.
Show got off to an iffy start as "Dave Gilmor" had'nt got it together for side 1 of DSOTM from Great gig onwards it got better and better.I could say it was like listening to PF but having only heard live albums they compare very well.Vocals were still "down" in the mix though.Some splendid guitars from both "Daves"
Overall a great night intact hearing a bonus.

FOR MIKE LACEY

FEB 6 High Wycombe SWAN
FEB 7 Oxford NEW THEATRE
FEB 21 Portsmouth GUILDHALL

They are the remaining "local" gigs.
BTW I love their logoes the DSOTM Prism is Australia shaped and the hammers in "The Wall" have Kangeroo shaped heads.
