>> The Australian Pink Floyd <<

Australijski sastav „The Australian Pink Floyd Show”
izvodi muziku čuvene grupe „Pink Floyd” u Sava Centru.

Na koncertima izvode pesme grupe „Pink Floyd” iz raznih perioda,
a poznati su po tome što vole da odaberu jedan album „Pink Floyda” i odsviraju ga u celosti.

Tako su za ovu turneju odabrali album “The Wall”, a tu je i specijalni bis koji će obuhvatiti neke od najvećih hitova iz faza
“Dark Side of The Moon”,
“Wish You Were Here” i sl.

Njihovi nastupi traju najmanje dva i po sata,
a na koncertima upotrebljavaju psihodeličnu rasvetu
sličnu onoj koju su „Pink Floyd” koristili na svojim turnejama
od 1987. do 1994.

Članovi benda kažu da najradije pamte 1996, kada su svirali na 50. rođendanu Dejvida Gilmora, i 2007. kada je Rodžer Voters gledao njihov koncert u Londonu…

Jedan mali deo iz njihove istorije skinuto sa njihovog sajta

:” It was a show in September of 1994 which would perhaps be the biggest turning point for the band.
On Monday the 26th, at the ‘Fairfield Halls’ in Croydon, Surrey, the band were paid an unexpected visit backstage. Not long after the show had finished there was a gentle knock on the door; “Is it ok if we come in?” the familiar voice asked. David Gilmour appeared almost like a vision in front of the band in the backstage dressing room.
He had caught the show having been on a night off from the ‘Division Bell’ tour, and had that day flown back to London from Paris. Introductions followed and he told of his enjoyment of the show – never being able to be in the audience at a Pink Floyd show before! He also commented that they had played at that same venue once many years previous and that he had particularly enjoyed hearing ‘Dogs’ performed.
Toward the end of the visit he agreed to pose for a photo with the band, and asked if they would be interested in playing at the end of tour party at Earl’s court. Of course the band could not contain their enthusiasm and it was left as a ‘his people would contact your people’ type of thing.
As the ‘Division Bell’ tour approached it’s end, there had been no further contact made, and the band started to think that it would not happen. Unbelievably a message on Colin’s answer phone from David Gilmour’s office graciously explained that they were very sorry but the gig could not take place due to noise restrictions around Earl’s Court after a certain time at night. However, the offer was made of concert tickets and invitations to the end of tour party as guests! Needless to say the occasion was incredible. The Aussies felt they had come a long way and were now mixing with the members of Pink Floyd, their families and many other celebrities including Sting, Brian May and Kate Bush to name but three.
Contact from David Gilmour’s office came again in early 1996. David was to turn 50 on March 6th, 1996 and apparently he wanted The Australian Pink Floyd Show to perform a hand picked set for him! The event was held at the Fulham Town Hall, London, amidst intense security. The band was advised that under no circumstances were they to leak a word of it to anybody, and so they did not, fearing above all that they may risk losing the gig! On the night they were ushered into a back stage area and asked to not mingle with the guests. Being the good mannered lads that they are they were happy to abide by this, but it didn’t mean that they didn’t see the who’s who of the entertainment industry that arrived for the party.
The ‘Bootleg Beatles’ performed first, followed by a magician. The night was then rounded off with The Australian Pink Floyd Show performing Pink Floyd to the members of Pink Floyd amongst others! Toward the end of the performance Pink Floyd bassist Guy Pratt, in shall we say a ‘party’ mood joined the band on stage along with Rick Wright for a rendition of ‘Comfortably Numb’. This was followed by David Gilmour, Gary Wallis, Tim Renwick and Claudia Fontaine along with Guy and Rick, performing a number of edited versions of Floyd songs including ‘Money’ and ‘What do you want from me’. It was an incredible ending to an unbelievable night.”

Ova svirka je moja topla preporuka, čak i posle gledanja Roger Waters-a u Grčkoj pre par godina, više o tom koncertu na sledećem sajtu
