Comments and Feedback
A tribute band can be a risky proposition. This group however was amazing. They brought back all my teen angst along with the harsh reality of failed relationships. … Simply put this was an amazing concert and I am so grateful to have shared it with a friend.
Sketched live at the show by Thomas “Thor” Thorspecken, Analog Artist Digital World.I saw this band at a small venue in Lakeland, Fl. I would classify myself as a serious Pink Floyd fan; and tribute bands rarely match my expectations. This group was a very pleasant exception. I was blown away. They are passionate about the music. First they nailed Dark Side of the Moon and then crushed The Wall for their second set. The venue was a little hot (not their fault) and I can't hear very well this morning (their fault 😉... but I couldn't be happier. It was Money well spent and I will seek this group out again in the near future.
You guys were absolutely fucking fantastic!!! I listened to this in 1972.. in HS!! Christopher Torres book these guys again🙌🏻🙌🏻😎
What a great show....!!! Gotta be one of their best shows..!!! i usually leave before the end of shows, but stayed till the bitter end...!!! Thx on show...!!
Best show at Jannus of all time!! What an incredible performance!!
Yes, another incredible performance! I will continue to invite more friends to enjoy the experience! Paul Lane, you crushed it again on the drums! Ultimate Pink Floyd band gives their all!
