Saw Brit Floyd at Sony Centre For The Performing Arts in Toronto last night (Macrh 1). They were simply great and it was a greatest Floyd hits show for song selections. Absolutely the best version of Great Gig in the Sky I've ever heard. Other stand outs were have a Cigar b/w Wish You Were Here - just like on the album. And their take on Animals was superb with Pigs 3 Different Ones. The only issue I might pick at was just a bit of guitar wanking on some songs. Sir Gilmour never goes all Eddie Van Halin on a solo - but he's a hard person to replicate. Brit Floyd is new entity coming out of a split with The Australian Pink Floyd group. I saw them a few years ago also at the Sony Centre and it too was fantastic. This show defitely ranks higher. As well, the Sony Centre is tweeting along with the rest of us. Found that cool too. You can read my tweets and pics here.
I also bought the meet and greet package and had a chance to chat with the band after the show. First time I've done that and it was great fun to talk about the show. So, if they are near by it's well worth the price of admission and probably the only bit of Floyd you'll be able to get unless you hit the Roger Waters Wall tour this year.
