  2. Only ones I can remember seeing is Brit Floyd and The Australian Pink Floyd. Both bands were amazing. I remember the last time I saw The Australian Pink Floyd, they played a bunch of great songs from most eras. Echoes was in the setlist and they nailed it. The Brit Floyd show was very recent and they played Dark Side and a ton off The Wall, with other classics throughout. Awesome stage shows by both bands, highly recommend for any Floyd fans. I know Dana will be there first in line next time they tour lol

    I’m sure I’m forgetting some other bands I have seen, but can’t remember any.

  3. Queen tribute Gary Mullin and The Works, wow! Every nuance, very note. Bravo. The best I ever saw though was a Beatles tribute called 1964. Anyone who knows me knows I am a massive Beatles fan. This band got personal blessing to tour and make money, from Sir Paul McCartney. I purposely stood in the back of the ballroom, and I’m telling you right now, it was like I time traveled. I actually cried. They stayed in character wonderfully. I’ve seen many Beatles tributes, this one was far and away the greatest.

    1. As a huge Beatles fan as well, that is good to know. We never saw them, we planned to, but my fiancee mentioned the Fab Faux.

  5. This band, Hairball, actually happened to be here in my hometown recently. They pay homage to a bunch of great ’70s and ’80s rock bands. Good stuff. I’d also put on the list, The Atomic Punks (Van Halen), Hell’s Belles (AC/DC), Zakk Sabbath (although a bit of a cheat with Zakk in the lineup), and Kuarantine (KISS), with the guys from Fozzy. Oh yeah, and of course, Brit Floyd (who are essentially headliners in their own right). They sell out Red Rocks (just down the road from me) every time they play here.
