Pink Floyd are one of the most iconic bands ever in British music. Their unique style, highly-talented musicians and plethora of timeless hits helped to make them a group that, decades on from their prime, remain a vital staple of this country’s musical history. It’s no surprise, then, that there would be performers and productions bringing Pink Floyd to life, but few are more complete than UK Pink Floyd Experience.
UK Pink Floyd Experience
Indeed, this quintet of artists are not only up to the task of having an audience relive the days when Pink Floyd were breaking discographical ground, but they are capable of matching and surpassing expectations. You will have heard the cliché “as close to the real thing as you can get”; that theory applies splendidly to this show, which is not only aimed at performing the group’s most famous songs, but it seeks to deliver a show that excites and wows a crowd, leaving them open-mouthed in awe one moment and singing along the next.
Description Of UK Pink Floyd Experience
The production as a whole is memorable, but the true spine of the show comes from its cast. David Power leads the way on both bass and vocals. And his style is ideally suited to this platform. Not least because he is a lifelong fan of the original band. Bobby Harrison also offers top-notch vocals, as well as performing some rockin’ jams on electric guitar, acoustic guitar and lap steel guitar, and with experience of working alongside icons such as Cliff Richard and Brian May, to say that he is qualified for this show would be a vast understatement. Also delivering vocals were Mike Bollard and Rick Benbow, and Francesco Borrelli is the band’s very talented drummer.
The set is both simplified and complex, with a circular screen sitting behind the artists showcasing all sorts of cool, colourful and visually stunning effects to match particular songs. The lighting effects also vary depending on the mood and pace of a tune, and the upshot is that every song feels different. If you know Pink Floyd, you’ll know that a fair few of their hits can touch you on an emotional level, so the word Experience is very appropriate for the title of this production, because you really do feel like you are part of something special and memorable.
Analysis Of UK Pink Floyd Experience
And of course, we hear all of the great Pink Floyd hits to the highest possible standard. Another Brick In The Wall, Money, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Dogs and Comfortably Numb. These were just some of the banging tunes that received rapturous applause from the Liverpool audience. The band has gone on record as saying that they want to “do it right or not at all”. And that came through loud and clear as they delivered the songs. They’re so authentic, it would be easy to lose yourself in the moment. You could genuinely believe you were witnessing the real, original group in front of your very eyes. The team richly deserved the huge crowd ovation.
Summary Of UK Pink Floyd Experience
Perhaps you want to relive the glory days of Pink Floyd. Maybe you want to learn about one of the most influential British bands of all-time.
