I've seen them in concert two or three times. They sound the same in concert as they do on their cds.

One of my top three favourite bands.
In fact, I even have their first album as "The Blue Jays"


DYK, They will be playing in Vegas in a few days.

Greatest rock band there is, IMHO, my absolute favorite. They've performed many times right near here, in Canandaigua, NY, and every time they're here I CAN'T MAKE IT!! Someday, though, someday...

a friend once qouted them in a way by writing "cold hearted all who rules the night" on his garage wall while drunk. i saw it a few days later, and asked about it. his answer was"you know ,thats part of that song knights in white satin"
after i got done laughing, i explained that it was actually cold hearted ORB. and explained how the song was refering about the moon. to this day, 25 years later, we still get a kick about it when someone askes about the old faded lettering on the wall.

Speaking of Floyd, saw them on the tube for the G8 thingy, and it was great. Then a month or so ago, my buddy said that they were on PBS that night,
so waited, tuned in, and it was a tribute band, called the Austrailian Pink Floyd Show, Long story short, THESE GUYS SMOKED!!!! it was awesome, AND, I'm seeing them live in Seattle this monday night.... they perform the entire Dark Side of the Moon record, and some crowd favorites. CANT WAIT!!!!

Moody Blues are cool too.... good "mooooood" music wink wink.....candles.... fireplace a cracklin'..... hmmmmmmm better call up the woman me thinks.....

Cool. I saw them (Pink Floyd) live at Winterland here in S.F. in 1971.

Ticket price was either $4.50 or $4.75; can't remember.

If they got better with age, you're gonna see a fantastic show that you'll never forget.

I never forgot that show in '71.
