The Australian Pink Floyd Show


On December 21st, my husband (world's BIGGEST Pink Floyd fan) and I (fan by association, and avid concert photographer) along with two of our friends had floor seats to the Australian Pink Floyd Show. We'd bought tickets last year and didn't get to go due to massively stormy weather, so we were looking forward to it that much more this year.


The boys from down under did not disappoint.



I was all over the yummy concert backlighting and silhouettes






This year's program was a start to finish performance of "The Wall" with, of course, some favorites for the encore. Judging by the reaction of the crowd, they didn't miss a beat!


The APFShow girls were also amazing. Ola Bienkowska blew the audience away with her mind-boggling performance of Great Gig in the Sky... and didn't leave the stage at all afterward for a break! She got a well-deserved standing ovation from yours truly and the thousands of others at the Metro Centre.


My husband being a drummer, I make a point to try to get at least one good shot of the drummer from each concert.


And what would any kind of Pink Floyd show be without lasers?!?!?!


There were random Australia references intermingled with genuine Pink Floyd artistry. Show us your home town pride!



At the end of the night, our trip back to the parkade brought us past these lovelies hanging out at the Casino. Danielle being Danielle and me being me, how could we resist!
