The Pink Floyd Experience Rocks Toronto


The Pink Floyd Experience, a cover band of obviously Pink Floyd, played at Hummingbird Centre last Thursday and they rocked the joint. If there were any relatively uninformed fans in the crowd, they may have mistaken them for the real thing. Covering everything off Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon, the majority of the well known songs from The Wall as well as “One of These Days” from Meddle and a song from Piper At The Gates of Dawn, I felt as though I was really experiencing what Pink Floyd was like in the 70’s.

The highlights of the show were the performances of “The Happiest Days of Our Lives” and “Another Brick in the Wall – Part 2” from The Wall as well as “Time” from Dark Side of the Moon. Sitting up in the balcony of the Hummingbird Centre well above the stage, I was also able to notice something that I think most of the crowd in the orchestra section may have missed. The band incorporated an excellent use of lighting affects that really helped add that purely Psychedelic feeling to the show. From where my friend and I sat, we were able to easily notice the spectacular lighting affects as we were looking down on it instead of having it be over our heads and we both agreed it made the show so much better.

It was a truly enjoyable experience and I would definitely recommend The Pink Floyd Experience when they come back to Toronto for the next time.
