Watched a recent Amsterdam concert, Space and Time Tour 2015, on the local PBS station.  I was shocked, it actually rocked.  For a $100 donation, you get two tickets in the first 10 rows at the Adler Theatre here in D-Port......a little gem of intimate, accoustic, history.  Perfect venue I think for this band.  Thinking about "having a cigar", and checking them out.  Cash would also go to a good cause, supporting the local network.

Like one of my favorite bands, Hairball out of MN, they do these songs justice, done right.  Live and loud.  And I don't need a home equity loan to see them. 
I know it's not the real deal, and kick myself for bailing out on the Division Bell Tour in Ames, IA back in the day.  

Anybody see these guys live?  Would appreciate some honest feedback. 
Thanks

    i saw brit floyd and australian floyd about a month apart.  both were excellent.  brit floyd played a little more obscure stuff while australian floyd played more radio friendly stuff.  i would see both again in a hearbeat!

    imma huge floyd fan!

    I watched the same show on PBS last night and they killed it.  I think I might have to try and grab a couple tickets when they swing through Atlanta in June.

    I saw Brit Floyd in Atlanta in April 2014 and they nailed it. The stage show was awesome and the sound was spot on. When the female singers did the solo from Great Gig in the Sky, it brought the house down. She got a standing ovation. I think I paid $45 a ticket compared to Aussie Pink Floyd wanted $200. Id see them again in a heartbeat.
