All That You Love 2019 World Tour
THE AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD
Having sold over three million tickets in concerts that have taken place in 36 countries, The Australian Pink Floyd Show is rightfully hailed as one of the most in demand touring entities currently operating.
Whilst the Daily Telegraph rightly described them as being at the top of the tribute band tree, the journey has been a long one and began in 1988 in Adelaide. Lee Smith, a local guitarist obsessed with Pink Floyd, and needing to augment his band [featuring drummer Grant Ross and bassist Trevor Turton] placed an ad in Allans Music store. It read: Vocalist and Keyboardist required for band. Professional attitude expected. We only play Pink Floyd. Steve Mac and Jason Sawford each saw the ad and soon the now five-piece band commenced regular weekly practice. Whilst learning and practicing the songs they constantly referred to Lee's extensive collection of Pink Floyd albums and bootleg recordings. They also started to create the sounds necessary to perform Pink Floyd correctly, and this became, and still is, one of the most important aspects of the band. The first live show was performed to a select group of family and friends including Richard Guest and Greg 'Bear' Sutton, both of whom would serve time in the bands road crew. Having settled on the name Think Floyd, the quintet soon secured their first paying gig at the Alma Hotel. More gigs followed. the band banking $600AU for a show at the Tivoli witnessed by Colin Wilson who would later join the band. Though the reaction was positive, it seemed hard to find a regular audience, and the line-up drifted apart, until 1992 saw a refocusing and a redoubling of efforts.
