Tuesday night, I was fortunate enough to head to the Australian Pink Floyd performance at the Olympia theater. It was sold out and deservedly so!
While my seat wasn’t the best (behind a column) the performance was amazing. They had a huge round screen set up, lasers, smoke and that was just the beginning. Their musical sound was tight and super spot on to the original Pink Floyd that we all know and love.
The best part was really the crowd though. As the concert began, everyone was quiet and listening. However as the performance went on, folks became more animated, clapping, whooping and whistling. Then… during Comfortably Numb (and from that point on) the entire audience was participating – doing what can only be described as a “Pink Floyd Sing along”. I love it when that happens – it’s like the entire crowd takes over, starts singing – and all that’s needed is the band for the background music. It’s those moments where you really feel inspired, and like everything else strips away – and there is only the music and we are all the “musicians”.
If you get the chance to go see the Australian Pink Floyd Live, I’d recommend it. (Just watch out for the obstructed view seats at the theater!) You can find out more about when /where their performances will happen on their website at http://www.aussiefloyd.com.
