AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD
Their recent shows include not only music originally written by Pink Floyd, but also a psychedelic lightshow modelled after the lightshows used by Pink Floyd during their 1987 and 1994 world tours. The show includes a round screen with intelligent lights arranged around the perimeter. During each 2½ hour concert, movies and animations are displayed on the screen while lights and lasers turn the stage and auditorium into a swirling mass of colour. Inflatables such as the pig used by Pink Floyd during the 1994 Division Bell tour and the band's own giant pink kangaroo are also used.
The show employs much of its own imagery based on Floydian designs, but altered to include humorous Australianisms and the use of the band's own trademark pink kangaroo, which appears on many of its posters and T-shirts.
The shows typically follow the format of one hour of music, followed by a 20 minute intermission, resuming with another hour of music, and often concluding with an encore of "Comfortably Numb" and "Run Like Hell". Sometimes the band will play certain Pink Floyd albums in their entirety during a show, usually as a first set. To date they have performed in this format Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here and on the 2008 US tour, The Wall. When not performing a specific album the band will perform songs from all periods of Pink Floyd's oeuvre including early material by Syd Barrett and longer songs such as "Dogs" and "Echoes" to later material from the albums The Wall, The Final Cut, Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell.
Recently, the band has begun to include minor theatrics in some performances which presently consist of Ian Cattell sitting in an armchair watching television whilst singing "Nobody Home"" — an allusion to a scene in the film Pink Floyd The Wall .
