The Pink Floyd Experience

We went to see The Pink Floyd Experience last night at the Strathmore Hall in Rockville, MD. Strathmore is a new music hall with exceptional acoustics. *


It was a lot of fun. I've never been to a Pink Floyd concert. The muscial instruments sounded comparable to Pink Floyd quality. The guitar player, Tom Quinn :guitar:, hammers it out like all good guitarist should. These guys really, truely enjoy playing Pink Floyd tunes. The bassman, Gus Beaudoin :D, had a grin on his face all night.


I was pretty much on the edge of my seat the whole time. I've been to many concerts at Strathmore Hall, mostly classical and jazz. Usually, I just lay back and relax :boring:. But last night, The Pink Floyd Experience had my full attention. The video and light show was fun and entertaining. And then, in the end, they release a "flying pig" into the audiance- way too much fun! :grnbounce


The vocals were a bit lacking. I could not comprehend most of the words they were singing. Maybe from bad mic levels or poor speaker placement. We were only four rows back. All the speakers were about 20 meters to either side of us.

I got my new Sennheiser HD 650 headphone today, so I decide to run through some Pink Floyd with The Pink Floyd Experience still fresh in my mind. Yes, I prefer Redbook CD Pink Floyd over The Pink Floyd Experience live. But I might go see them again, just for fun. :yippy:


* Here's a quote from the Strathmore Hall website.

"Architects William Rawn Associates Architects, Inc., acousticians Kirkegaard Associates, theater designers Theatre Project Consultants—the same team that designed Seiji Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood for the Boston Symphony Orchestra—and associate architects Grimm & Parker of Calverton, MD, join together to create a 1,976-seat concert space that is warm, embracing, and acoustically superb."

It might make things more even to compare a live Pink Floyd experience with the Pink Floyd Experience live.

Having experienced neither, I can't make that comparison. Maybe someone here in AK land has? Might there be Pink Floyd live bootlegs in circulation?
 
I have not seen any of the tribute shows. I'm prone to the originals, like Gilmour, Waters, and of course PF. Have seen the PIG in a stadium.

Need some direction!

Not sure what I am going to want to see.

"You radiate cold shafts of broken glass."

I've seen Floyd.

Not the cover versions.

Although, I would like to see Australian Pink Floyd one day.
 
I seen Division Bell at BC place (where the Olympic's opening and closing cerimony was held) and I have seen Austrialian Floyd 3 times And THE PINK FLOYD EXPERIANCE in the Keller auditorium (a true concert hall) from DEAD CENTER 3 rows back in the first balcony. The perfect center of the room vertically and horizontally (I know I stood on stage once and sighted it out) and I thought the vocals sucked. The music was pretty good. Not as good as OZ Floyd. And no where near Gilmour his self. The light show was very good if a bit to many blinding white spots (only draw back to the middle of the room a lot of the light hits you in the face) OZ Floyds last show was very good Both cover bands light shows made the show at Division Bell look like it was put on by college kids. Granted 1994 to 2009/10 there has been a big leap in computer control.

At Division Bell we were both stoned emaculate (we didn't actually hold any pot) there was so much pot smoke in the air some of the lasers didn't hit the back wall I kid you NOT. Neither of the cover bands have we been stoned nor has there been any smoke save what the bands created in the air.


Austrailian Floyd had back up singers and did songs with female parts in them Experiance did none. Austrailian Floyds Sax player was amazing as was the young lady that sang Clare Torry's part in the "The Great Gig in the Sky". nice to look at as well.
if I were to rate the three options.

The Floyd Exp. Had no back up singers and at times I had a hard time trying to figure out what the words were.

1. Austrailian Floyd Best vocals best true to the music sound best light show

2. Pink Floyd as lead by David Gilmour circa 1994 Music was of course perfect vocals were perfect light show was average

3. THE PINK FLOYD EXPERIANCE Very good Light show Playing OK vocals poor over all show worth the money but not great
 
Pink Floyd

Saw them five times. The first time in 1972 touring the Meddle album, the last time touring The Division Bell. Best live band I ever saw and I saw a lot of them.

was tempted to pick up tickets to their upcoming show here in the twin cities but I'm going to pass.

We saw Aussie Pink Floyd last fall and it was a great show.
 
The last charade

Again, thank for the responses.

The consensus seems to be that the vocals in Pink Floyd Experience concerts are lacking. Since I enjoyed the show anyway, I will write to them to let them know of My Experience. I encourage others to do so. Their website is listed below [1].

Maybe they can work on the vocals to improve thier show. :sing:

The wife and I recently saw (The Machine) another tribute band at House of Blues in New Orleans. The music was real good, the show was pretty good, the vocals were lacking a bit. When they played (Have a Cigar) that one was right on!!!
