Australian Pink Floyd - Sheffield

We'd had a very busy day, walking up Whernside with a group of friends, heading home with Chinese takeaway before setting straight out of the door and for Sheffield's City Hall. It was touch and go whether we'd make it on time, thankfully we found parking near the venue and made a bee line for the entrance. We even managed to get a drink before sitting down. Mike, a friend from work had again got us great tickets, we were four rows from the front right in the middle.

Just had chance for a quick catch up with Mike before the lights went down and the show started. We were treated to the whole of Dark Side of the Moon, the performance was breathtaking, I've seen these guys lots of times over the years and I'm still amazed at how close this is to the real thing. My attitude is that Mozart and Beethoven's music continues to be played long after they died, Australian Pink Floyd are the equivalent to a modern orchestra playing old classic music, they are the cream of cover bands.

The light show hadn't changed much since we saw them in Halifax last year and they didn't have a huge glitter ball at the end, this hardly mattered.

The second half of the show had music from the many faces of Pink Floyd. I always enjoy anything from Wish You Were Here and they didn't disappoint. Andrea got a little board when They played echos, I guess its one of those songs that goes on too long if you don't know what going on.

We had a great evening and all too soon it was time to heads home. We made good time on the way hone, end of a very busy day, shame we had to go to work on Monday.
