THE WORLD’S PREMIER PINK FLOYD TRIBUTE SHOW, BRIT FLOYD, COMES TO MADISON SQUARE GARDEN ON NOVEMBER 8TH

The absolute pinnacle of Pink Floyd tribute acts, Brit Floyd, is hitting Madison Square Garden on Thursday, November 8th, as part of their massive a Foot in The Door World tour 2012.

Back in 2010, Chas Cola—head of the CMP Entertainment agency—joined forces with Brit Floyd’s own guitarist and musical director, Damian Darlington, to form the group in Liverpool. Notably, Damian actually had the honor of playing alongside David Gilmour during his 50th birthday celebration in London back in 1996.

Music critics have officially crowned Brit Floyd as the best and most authentic Pink Floyd tribute show in existence, calling them a true reincarnation of Pink Floyd and the gold standard for tribute performances everywhere.

Since Pink Floyd likely isn't heading out on tour again, this is our best shot at seeing a flawless version of the band. Brit Floyd has obsessed over every single sonic detail; if you close your eyes during the show, you could easily convince yourself you're actually sitting in a Pink Floyd concert.

The a Foot in The Door World tour 2012 is dedicated to Pink Floyd’s final "best of" collection, Pink Floyd 'a Foot in the Door' (EMI / Dallas Records). Visually, the show is modeled after the legendary Division Bell tour from 1994 (often referred to as "puls" due to the live album and DVD), featuring identical lighting setups and video projections for every track. During the two-plus hour performance, Brit Floyd rips through the hits from every era, including selections from the massive, 23x platinum masterpiece, The Wall.

Brit Floyd has been blowing minds everywhere they go, from sold-out shows at London's Royal Albert Hall to performing for over 250,000 people on last year's tour. Their setlist isn't just a shallow "greatest hits" collection; it's a curated "best of" designed by die-hard Floyd fans. You can expect classics like Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V), Learning to Fly, High Hopes, Welcome to the Machine, Mother Pigs, Echoes, Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Wish You Were Here, One of These Days, Nobody Home, The Happiest Days of Our Lives, Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2), Comfortably Numb, along with favorites like See Emily Play, Money, Us and Them, Hey You, Is There Anybody Out There?, Vera Lynn, Bring the Boys Back Home, and even Syd Barrett’s See Emily Play.

As a special gift, every attendee on this tour who holds a ticket will receive a free promo DVD featuring a recording of the band's live performance right at the entrance.

Is it worth $77 for the ticket? A tribute band? Sorry, the absolute best Pink Floyd covers . 🤣
Well, they probably won't play Money. 😬

I’ll happily drop 160 on this—maybe that's overkill for a tribute act... but then again, there's just nothing quite like hearing Pink Floyd live. 😁

I guess they aren't really the Floyd for her. 🤣
I love Pink Floyd, but I guess this doesn't really appeal to me.🤷

Is He really gonna pay for the tribute act? 🤷

Honestly, with that kind of cash, I'd much rather just go see Steve Vaia on November 9th. ☕

I guess someone else up there wrote that it was absolutely incredible to hear a tribute act performing Pink Floyd live. I know that person understands it isn't actually the original band, but personally, I don't find much joy in listening to a tribute, even if it were free. It just doesn't do it for me. I'd much rather just put on a record and enjoy the music. 😬

edit:

Oh, I guess you're just being yourself! 😂

roll.

Ah, so it was you all along 😂


😂 😂 😂

Give me a call sometime and we can listen to some records together 😁

I am seriously counting down the days until those Brits arrive...
Judging by what I've seen on YouTube, this might be the closest thing we'll ever get to seeing the actual Floyd...🙂

But hey, after thinking about it for a while, looks like I'm actually going.

Jebatga, they're actually good.

Seriously, don't miss this if you can help it. I caught them last night in Ottawa and I'm still reeling.
I saw the Australian PF show at Madison Square Garden and Waters at the Arena last year, and honestly, Brit Floyd isn't "far off" from Waters at all. 🙂
The ticket price is actually pretty reasonable considering the scale of this production.
It’s worth every single cent.😉

Does anyone happen to know what time the merch stand actually opens? Does it pop up right before the show starts, or is it open all day...? I'm in a bit of a rush to figure this out!
