Though I was curious about this show when I first saw it advertised, I thought the price a bit high, and the title appeared to be a cynical attempt to cash in on the good name and reputation of the Australian Pink Floyd, following their split from CMP. Accordingly I was not going to go, but a birthday, as well as my local venue offering 2 for 1 on tickets meant that a pair of tickets for the Plymouth Pavillions show landed in my hands, and so a friend and I made our way through the snow and ice of 20/12/2010 to see what it was all about. The set list was as posted by Nick above, so I will not waste time and type on that, from the start the standard of musicianship was superb, these guys are right out of the top drawer, and need no gimickery. At first I fely it was a bit clinical, maybe a bit too note perfect to be rocknroll, but later when the singers started engaging with the audience it livened up nicely. I felt the animations of the Kangaroo picking out his LP's was irrelevent, and such an obvious aussie floyd reference that it just appeared to be a cynical rip off from those shows, and as previously stated these guys were far too good to be needing cheap gimickery like that, just more chat between songs would have done. In short a ver enjoyable couple of hours entertainment, and I hope it will be done again next year, CMP is very good at this sort of tour, where the "show" is bigger than the individuals playing, I had seen the "Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club show" very recently, and that was also one I would happily see again, so please CMP, get over TAPFS, stop looking like you are just trying to derail and rip off that band, and stick to what you are so very good at.

Hi FJ,

Many thanks for your review/comments.  As I posted on the Brit Floyd site - the set list reads like a rock enthusiasts wet dream but why do they insist on latching on to the coat tails of the Aussie Floyd who have strived for years to establish the name and brand and reputation - oh therte you go - I've answered my own question!  The musician-ship of the classic rock show is undoubtedly of the highest calibre.  If they are this good, surely they can stand on their own two feet, given CMP's confidence in their ability?

I like the music, I like the style but I really don't like them taking the piss/name of the band that got them there in the first place

Why wait 2 weeks to ask the same thing on a different forum, that was questioned by yourself and answered by Nick on 15th December [britfloyd.com].... Time to drop it now that your point has been answered ....

Uncle P - all I was doing was responding to FJ's point - I had my answer previously on the BritFloyd forum and am not seeking a response again.  I merely comment on the cheap stunt of naming the band on the back of a reputation they have not earned which should not be necessary given the level of musicianship on show
