Hey You
Run Like Hell

This was the third time I saw Aussie Floyd play at the Tower and it was simply another outstanding performance. I was happy when I arrived to see the new arch backdrop behind the circle screen.  I had a great seat right at the stage in front of Jamie Humphries on the left hand side.  I took a bunch of pics with my cell phone so I hope to upload them here in a couple of days.  This was the first of two shows at the Tower and they did a DSOTM set followed by hits.  I read in the Scranton, PA. 11-7-07 review that Jamie pinched a nerve before the show so I kept an eye on him to see if it was still effecting him.  I did notice some signs that it was still bothering him (i.e. saw him rub his right shoulder once and a roadie did help him put a guitar on).  However, his playing was not effected at all. He played great all night and cranked out a killer solo during 'Set the Controls...'. 

They put on a great laser and light show and the only things that were missing were the inflatable kangaroo and pig.  I think this is simply because the stage isn't big enough.  Last year they didn' t have Skippy during 'One of the Days' either and were only able to have the head of the pig stick out from the side of the stage during 'Pigs' so this year I guess they decided not to do it at all.  Maybe next year they will play a bigger venue.  A local classic rock radio station promoted the show so hopefully they will become more popular here in Philly.  They were able to project images onto the arch backdrop which was great because they didn't do that last year.

Tonight I am going to see the second show where they plan to play a 'Wish You Were Here' set.  I hope they will play a 'Final Cut' song during the second set (fingers crossed).  I look forward to another super night!! 

Nice set list thank you very much. Was hoping for Pigs on the second night but a careful with that axe will more than make up for that:) Can't wait to hear the crowd for Wish you were here. 9am on show day and im already jacked up, absolutley can't wait for the show tonight. Tower rocks and so does Aussie Floyd.

Have a fantastic time Iculus and Welcome to the forum and the fun!

Wow kind words from a moderator less than 5 minutes after I post, that's the type of thing that makes the following of this band and the atmosphere that this band creates so special. Even though it's a bit of a downer I wish I saw aussie floyd and experienced its community earlier, of course that said it won't bring me (and my guests) anywhere close to down for this night of phenomenal music in any possible way. Honestly I saw Floyd in 93 for the Division Bell tour and it was great but I really think I am more excited for this show (blasphemer maybe:)) This band is more than a cover band, I have allways said there is a reason no one covers Floyd because they can't except the great band from down under Aussie Floyd. Thank you for the welcome and listen to the most off key voice during cigar and youll find me. Anyway glad I get this experience, there is no other cover band on the planet (if you can play floyd without a hitch you shouldnt be called a cover more of a genius) that could create this and realisticaly no other band has the balls or talent to try Floyd anyways. This band and community absolutly friggin rock. Welcome to Philly and please make it a often stop off.

Welcome to the aussiefloyd forum full of misfits and friendly nutcases. Keep talking and I really enjoyed your review and your enthusiasm.

Another newbie from last night show.  I was very impressed with Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun.  Does anybody know if it is available for download/purchase?
