In fact so good that even after 3 months it's still important for me to send my thanks to everyone in the PFE for a superb night's entertainment. Without shame I admit the Floyd are my favorite band. The first album I ever purchased was Dark Side of the Moon, while I was in high school. If you enjoy Pink Floyd's music do not miss a chance to go to a PFE performance! Do NOT be put off by thoughts of "cover band" or "tribute band". Do you think folks stepping out for an evening at the Berliner Philharmoniker think to themselves "oh, they're only a Beethoven tribute band!" ? From either you get great music played by talented and passionate musicians - what more could you ask? p.s. Thanks to Andrew Haysom for the set list - I think they played "Another Brick ..." too. p.p.s Did y'all ever publish the final rankings from the web site voting?

My friends and I loved the concert so much, we were wondering whether there will be another concert in Melbourne this year. We would love to go again. Please arrange for another concert in Melbourne real soon. We will definitely be there. The concert at the Palais on May 27 was spectacular.

The one and only thing I didnt enjoy was the flashing strobe light. Other than that the light show was just spectacular only next time I will have a few joints before the show. Well done your an inspiration. Guys i wont rave on i’m just going to say The Brisbane show was truely AWSOME. The one and only thing I didnt enjoy was the flashing strobe light.

The music, the sound, the lighting, the showmanship were all spot on. I was lucky enough to see the real Pink Floyd when they were last in Sydney many years ago and they were awesome. Obviously we will never be able to see the real Pink Floyd ever again, so go and see the Pink Floyd Experience - the next best thing. I have been to see them several times now over the last few years and I will continue to do so every time they come to Australia (would love to see them do The Wall again!) If you love PF music then make sure you go and see this band - I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Saw the Sat night show at the Enmore – absolutely brilliant.

(I didn't get that nostalgic, I am only in my early teens) You did a really good job, especially the keyboardist, you emulated the synths and samples really well. I thought that during the intro to Echoes, that keyboard bit was a little loud, but apart from that, the show was amazing. I saw the Melbourne show, and I loved it.

It was so much more than I expected. The sounds and sights were wonderful and I really enjoyed hearing early Floyd that I have overlooked... I'm cracking out the vinyls! Thank you for the experience - we will be back!!

Full length versions of Echoes, Dogs and Sheep (Pigs didn't fly this time) and the entire DSOTM. Very talented and professional musicians playing with a passion for getting it right. Being a Gilmour fan I was particularly impressed with lead guitarist Daz and his Black Strat. Probably the only thing lacking (and this is being picky) was a pedal steel guitarist. Overall a great choice of songs and a memorable night that I'll want to relive when they return to Melbourne again. Well done Pink Floyd Experience!

Wrong. Very wrong. This New Zealand outfit are just superb. To call it a tribute show really doesn't do it justice. They are a bunch of superbly talented musicians, obviously very passionate about Pink Floyd's music and they put on a truly superb show. Rick (bless his soul), Nick, Roger and Dave would have been very proud of the show last night, and I enjoyed it immensely. Pink Floyd's music has always evoked a very emotional response in me, and last night was no different - it was, as the name suggests, a Pink Floyd Experience. The show started at 8pm and with a short intermission went until well after 11pm. The set list included a few oldies, some that I've not played for so long, but now remember how much I love (I'm sure that a few old Floyd albums will be pulled out over coming weeks), and the second half included the entire Dark Side of tthe Moon album. Here's the set list (as best as I can remember, forgive me if I've forgotten a track); Welcome to the Machine Dogs Echoes Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun Arnold Layne Astronomy Domine Keep Talking Sheep Shine On You Crazy Diamond Learning to Fly Speak To Me Breathe On The Run Time The Great Gig In The Sky Money Us and Them Any Colour You Like Brain Damage Eclipse Wish You Were Here Run Like Hell Comfortably Numb I guess of the original Floyd, it is David Gilmour who is the "heart" of the band, especially in recent years. It was doubt over whether The Pink Floyd Experience could do his vocals and especially his guitar justice that had me expecting to be disappointed. However, front man and lead vocalist Stan Gratkowski was excellent, and lead guitarist Darren Whittaker nailed every single song perfectly. The three female singers in the band also did a superb job with the very demanding vocals in The Great Gig In The Sky - well done ladies. The lighting and visuals were excellent also. I really couldn't recommend this more highly, and will be going back to see them next time they are in town. Hurry back! I think I might go get out my Animals CD!
