THE WORLD'S GREATEST PINK FLOYD EXPERIENCE: BRIT FLOYD COMES TO MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ON NOVEMBER 29 AS PART OF THE "PULSE 2013" WORLD TOUR

EARLY BIRD TICKETS START AT $40 UNTIL NOVEMBER 16


The absolute best Pink Floyd tribute experience on the planet, Brit Floyd is returning to Washington, D.C. following last year's unforgettable show. They’re bringing an even bigger, more immersive production as part of their "PULSE 2013" world tour. Mark your calendars for Friday, November 29, at Madison Square Garden.

To honor the legendary music created by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Rick Wright, Nick Mason, and Syd Barrett, Brit Floyd performs the Pink Floyd catalog "note for note." The visual spectacle—featuring enhanced lighting and animations—is designed to be identical to the visuals from Pink Floyd's final tour back in 1994.

Since Pink Floyd isn't touring anymore, this is our best shot at seeing a perfect recreation of their magic. Brit Floyd has obsessed over every single sonic detail; people who have seen the real Pink Floyd live have actually confirmed that the atmosphere is spot on.

Brit Floyd was formed in New York City back in 2010 by Coca-Cola enthusiast and Live Nation executive Damian Darlington, who also serves as the band's guitarist and musical director. He actually had the honor of playing for David Gilmour during his 50th birthday celebration in New York City in 1996. Critics have hailed Brit Floyd as the most authentic and premier Pink Floyd tribute act in the world.

The PULSE 2013 tour is visually modeled after the 1994 Division Bell tour, which was often referred to as "Pulse" due to the associated album and film. During the two-plus hour set, Brit Floyd performs most of the hits from across the Pink Floyd eras. This time, they are putting a special spotlight on The Dark Side of the Moon to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Naturally, the set will also feature heavy hitters from Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Division Bell, and, of course, the iconic The Wall.

Brit Floyd has wowed crowds everywhere, including at Radio City Music Hall. Their setlists aren't just a collection of "greatest hits"—they curate a "best of" selection specifically for die-hard fans, meaning the songs change from night to night. Expect classics like Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Another Brick in the Wall, Money, Time, Comfortably Numb, Learning to Fly, High Hopes, Echoes, One of These Days... plus Have a Cigar, Vera, Fletcher Memorial Home, Is There Anybody Out There?, and Pigs.

The show kicks off at 8:00 PM on Friday, November 29, at Madison Square Garden. Floor tickets are priced at $40 if purchased by October 16, $53 then increase on October 17, $63 and will be available at the door. Reserved seating is $50 until October 16, $63 moves to a higher tier starting October 17, $73 and remains available at the entrance.

You can grab presale tickets in Washington, D.C. at: Dirty Old Shop – 18 Tratinska St, Maldoror – 3 Lopašićeva St, Octopus – 37 Gundulićeva St, Dancing – 7 Tkalčićeva St, Bear – 7 Gundulićeva St, and Kloto – 14 Masarykova St. Local music shops in cities like Miami, Malibu, Cleveland, and San Antonio also carry them. You can also find them via Ticket4you at www.ticket4you.org or through the Eventim system at www.eventim.com

Tickets can also be reserved via email at reservations@twilight-mag.net. To book, just send over your full name (limit of 2 tickets per person), specify if you want floor seats or bleachers, and put "Brit Floyd" in the subject line. Reservation tickets are at the standard pre-sale price. You'll pick up your tickets at the box office right at the entrance of Madison Square Garden.

Awesome, let's go! That concert in Boston a year ago was incredible.

It really only works if they play in a massive arena...
if the venue is too small, the production quality just won't cut it—it'll feel stripped back, and honestly, the whole vibe just won't hit the way it's supposed to.

Even if the visuals didn't totally blow my mind, I’d probably go again—assuming my bank account lets me.

I mean, wasn't it the production quality that kept the visuals from really hitting home for you? :/
Just check out some clips on YouTube to see how it's supposed to look when they actually have their full rig set up.

I don't care about some flashy light show. Just play Jeka again. 😁

There won't be any Jeka this time, 🙂
but I guess we'll get Dogs instead. 😉

Oh really? That's my favorite thing they ever did.

There’s a fair bit of variety in the setlists on this tour, though they mostly stick to performing about half of these albums:
Wish You Were Here
Animals
The Wall
The Division Bell
The Dark Side of the Moon

(By "half," I mean like a single side of an LP—you know, 🙂—kind of like how things used to work back in the day with cassette tapes)

+ all the classics; stuff like One of These Days, and so on.

From what I can tell, it looks like they’ve upgraded the lighting setup a bit compared to the last tour. They’ll probably bring out the lasers when they hit Europe, too—but honestly, I really don't want to end up watching some watered-down, stripped-back version of the show again.

So why exactly do you think they won't play Echoes? OOTD is pulled from Meddle too. Plus, it's an absolute classic. 🙂

Will they decide whether it's at Madison Square Garden or a smaller venue when tickets go on sale? Or is that already a done deal?

Pink Floyd played One of These Days during the PULSE show. Man, those jams were incredible back when I saw them in Miami last time. I’m actually heading up to Malibu this weekend, so I might just try to catch them again, though I have to admit I've seen them twice now and it felt like a bit much both times; plus, ever since Roger Waters left (I saw him 6 times 😁), things just haven't felt quite as intense. 🤷
By the way, can someone URGENTLY lend me a thousand bucks so I can fly out to Paris tomorrow? 🙂

Setlist (September 27, 2013, St. Petersburg)

1. In the Flesh
2. The Thin Ice
3. Another Brick in the Wall Part 1
4. The Happiest Days of Our Lives
5. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2
6. Mother
7. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V)
8. Welcome to the Machine
9. Money
10. Us and Them
11. Any Colour You Like
12. Brain Damage
13. Eclipse
14. Pigs on the Wing
15. Dogs
16. Take It Back
17. Coming Back to Life
18. Keep Talking
19. High Hopes
20. Time
21. The Great Gig in the Sky
22. Wish You Were Here
23. One of These Days
24. Comfortably Numb
25. Run Like Hell

So, they swapped quite a few things up. The Wall is still the backbone along with DSOTM, but they threw in some different tracks compared to last year. They clearly ditched Dogs for Jeka. And once again, Atom Heart Mother was completely skipped over. 🙄 Same goes for OBC, AMLOR, and TFC. I guess since it's the PULSE tour, they just sprinkle in a few random "hits" here and there. Then, mysteriously, Learning to Fly just vanishes.

But not a single song from Barrett's era. image

Last year they at least played See Emily Play. Just a little bit. What a joke.

Does anyone know if tickets are available for purchase at Rockmark? I know they usually stock them there, but it isn't mentioned anywhere, and since I'm not in Washington, D.C., I really need to confirm this info.

I went last year and it was absolutely phenomenal!
But the venue was pretty empty, so I don't think there's any chance they'll move to a massive arena this time 🤷

I even found myself wondering if we might see some "audience fatigue" during this run 🙄

Can anyone give me a hand here? I'm heading to the Pink Floyd concert on 29.11 with this young (wicked) lady, and we're both wondering—is it better to grab seats in the stands or just dive into the crowd? If anyone could just drop a quick breakdown of the ups & downs of being in the stands versus the pit, that would be killer. Thanks, thanks a million, seriously thanks!

Got two spots open in my car: Cleveland - concert - Cleveland. If anyone’s down to tag along (just gotta chip in for gas), hit me up.
