The tour visiting Humphreys Concerts by the Bay performs the legendary 1973 in its entirety with an elaborate light and stage show
When Chris Barnes, lead singer of The Australian Pink Floyd Show, first listened to Pink Floyd’s 1971 compilation record, “Relics,” he wasn’t immediately mesmerized by the psychedelic and progressive music of“It was absolutely terrifying, actually,” Barnes said during a recent phone interview. “The second track was ‘Interstellar Overdrive,’ which is like this nine-minute space rock instrumental from the first album, and my brother turned the light off.
“When you say the words ‘tribute band,’ you think of blokes wearing wigs in the corner of a bar somewhere, running through some Led Zeppelin or whatever the band might be that night, but this is a full-on show,” Barnes assured. “Even if you don’t like Pink Floyd, I think we’re going to entertain you because there’s so much happening on stage, with our big lavish production a video screen, a big light show, inflatables, lasers and smoke.
Barnes was raised by his father, who had a regular day job, but by night performed in several cover bands that played the music of Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Kinks. He would often go to his father’s rehearsals, and by the time he was 14, his father took him under his wing to tour around Northern England and show him the ropes.
Since the band’s current tour is a deep dive into the 1973 album “The Dark Side of the Moon,” Barnes said it’s definitely a masterpiece worth celebrating.
