Like you, only seen the Australian boys. Gotta be worth going though in any case, right?

Cool

You must see "Think Floyd" if they're anywhere near you. I don't usually like tribute bands too much, but as there is no chance of seeing the real thing, I went to see them a couple of years ago when they did a gig local - fan-bloody-tastic! Big mob of schoolkids in "Brick in the wall" and the guitar solo in "Comfortably numb" had the hairs on the back of my neck on end!! I've seen them twice since.
If you love the Floyd like I do, you must see this band.

I did get to see Think Floyd quite a few years ago now. They were good, but I had seen the australian pink floyd weeks before and auzzie floyd then knocked them off the stage. Maybe over the time they have improved...........what does anybody else think who has seen the two bands

Saw the real thing 20+ years back - seems like heresy to say this, but they were only OK. Really, I thought The Buzzcocks (seen the same week) were a million times better.

Yeah, I've seen Off the Wall and thought they were excellent. I was expecting a slightly cringing experience but was pleasantly surprised...great musicians.

Saw Think Floyd a couple of months ago - Can't wait till they are back round these parts cos they are a must.
The whole show was fantastic. I thought before hand that the guitar solos may be a let down but i was stunned at how good they really were
Can't comment on APF but i intend to see them at some point

My mate's Floyd tribute band, Pulse, get rave reviews whenever they play, including one from Dave Gilmour apparently.
