Aussie Pink Floyd tribute to ‘The Wall’ , Knocks crowd out at Fabulous Fox

Rock fans of all ages were treated to a time capsule Nov. 7-8 when the Aussie Pink Floyd recreated a bit of history with the performance in its entirety of the original group’s legendary rock opera, ‘The Wall’.

To fully understand the significance of this, one must appreciate what it would be like to be able to go back in time and hear and see a historical figure in person…and, while Aussie Pink Floyd is not the original group, it has honed its talents to provide what is the standard for tributes to the original Pink Floyd.

There is no dispute that Aussie Pink Floyd is as close to the real thing as any tribute performance can be.

This is the second review that I have done for TodaysSeniorsNetwork.com on an Aussie Pink Floyd production at The Fabulous Fox.  But, don’t think that is only because it is true that Pink Floyd itself was a favorite of many aging Boomers, such as myself, but has a much larger appeal that transcends generations. 

The quality of Aussie Pink Floyd does the same, and the Fox audience was peppered with people of a wide span of age groups, which is almost ironic since ‘The Wall’  deals with a theme of isolation.

Significantly, The Fabulous Fox offered light and sound support for the spectacular show which, while mirroring much of the original Pink Floyd-type settings, has added many of its own special touches.

Unfortunately, the demanding schedule of the show only allowed a two-night performance. 

The only solution to this is for The Fabulous Fox to be sure to have Aussie Pink Floyd return as often as its schedule allows, and as long as there is a demand to see what is undoubtedly the outstanding tribute show for any rock group because it provides originality and dedication to the quality of the original, that it has been accepted even by the original Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, who invited Aussie Pink Floyd to perform at his birthday.

That’s an endorsement that money can’t buy.  So, keep your antenna up and keep an eye on the growing number of versatile entertainment being provided at The Fabulous Fox to be sure that the next time this tribute hits town, you’re there—it’ll be your chance to enter a musical history time capsule.
