PREPARE for a prog-rock journey from down under with the Australian Pink Floyd Show. The renowned tribute band brings their Eclipsed By The Moon tour to the BIC on February 22.
You won’t be surprised to learn that the show will celebrate the iconic The Dark Side Of The Moon album. The Pink Floyd classic features legendary songs, including The Great Gig In The Sky, Us And Them and the two singles taken from the album, Money and Time.
The album has sold over 50 million copies worldwide, making it Floyd’s most successful album, and remained in the charts for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988, longer than any other album in history.
The band will also be performing other classic Pink Floyd tracks from many other albums with a performance that stretches over two hours.
“This album is rightly considered by many to be one of the greatest albums of all time, and performing work from The Dark Side Of The Moon is much like performing modern classical orchestral music.
“We study every detail of the album as closely as possible,” says Aussie Floyd singer and guitarist Steve Mac.
“Our performances are about celebrating the history and pedigree of this incredible music,” adds Colin Wilson, bass player and singer.
The band attempt to capture and convey the spirit as well as the sound, and attention is lavished upon their jaw-dropping visuals and effects.
Aussie Floyd, who have sold over three million concert tickets in their own right, are much loved for their near note perfect performances which remain true to the original. Their loving recreation of Pink Floyd on stage has made sure they continue to fill large venues such as the BIC.
