Australian Pink Floyd Show performs "The Wall"

[punman]

I saw Australian Pink Floyd in Calgary early fall. I was very impressed, and having it in the the venue where the Philharmonic Orchestra plays meant good seating and good sound compared to a sports arena.
Money well spent.

Still, I thought at the time (posted about it somewhere in the archives) that they did a remarkable job of sounding like the original, and re-creating some of the ambience. About as close as it could get, in another time and with many substitute members (albeit extremely good and well-chosen ones! ... and of course, Roger still sounds like Roger!).

I'd go see the Aussie version, too, if they play in HK. Even if it isn't "the real thing", there is something nice about hearing that music done LIVE.

Occasionally, I put on the "Pulse" live concert recording on LD, project the image large scale, and crank the sound up. Not quite like a live concert, but the next best thing to it!

Again, thanks for sharing your impressions. Glad you enjoyed yourself!

. . . sorry for sneaking this into the thread, but would you know if it is very hard or not to track down the "PULSE" live album on Vinyl? (I do realize it is out of print, but I was wavering recently about whether it would be worth my time and not-a-lot-of-money to seriously start looking for a playable/VG+ minimum copy. Did you buy your new at the time of it's release? Again sorry for sort of sneaking this in here; no offense meant.

(I'm sure his stash of "Maui-Wowee" will make it better. )

. . . I would think it would next to impossbile to calculate how many bad to downright horrible shows were made tolerable - or, at extremely bad concerts, even "survivable" - by our dear old Mrs. GREEN.
