The Australian Pink Floyd Performs in San Diego
Get ready for an audiovisual extravaganza courtesy of The Australian Pink Floyd Show (TAPFS). The show features a multi-million dollar light show, multiple inflatables and stunning laser effects, all coupled with note perfect renditions of Pink Floyd’s biggest hits. This show, already seen by four -million people, is described as “The best tribute band in the world,” according to the London Sunday Times.
Taking its tour title from “Set The Controls for the Heart Of the Sun” from the “A Saucerful of Secrets album,” The Australian Pink Floyd Show will be performing Pink Floyd classics such as “Another Brick In The Wall,” “Comfortably Numb” and “Wish You Were Here,” as well as a few surprise tracks.
This tour is unique in that the audience is able to vote for the songs that they would like to hear live by visiting the band’s website and taking part in the online poll. The top songs will then be played each day.
Lorelei McBroom will also be appearing on this tour. Her credentials are staggering; she toured with Pink Floyd on the “Momentary Lapse of Reason” and “Delicate Sound of Thunder” tours, appeared in the videos for “The Dogs of War,” “On The Turning Away” and the “Pink Floyd Live In Venice” TV broadcast. She also performed “The Great Gig in the Sky” with Pink Floyd, a song she will now perform with TAPFS.
The tribute band formed in Adelaide, Australia in 1988. The Australian Pink Floyd show consists of Steve Mac, Jason Sawford, Colin Wilson, Dave Fowler, Alex McNamara, Paul Bonney, Mike Kidson, Lorelei McBroom, Lara Smiles and Emily Lynn.
