Here's a tip. Brit Floyd.
We used to go way out of our way at every opportunity to see Pink Floyd but the last time that happened was their last tour in 1994 when we saw them in New Orleans and it was effenepic. After many years of hopefully waiting, it eventually became apparent it would never happen again.
Next best thing. In 2014 we discovered Brit Floyd and have seen them perform every year ever since in the tiny Saenger Theatre in Pensacola. Yeah, BF is a tribute band but they are every bit as good as P.F ever was but with a 20 year advantage provided by technology. They present the same crystal clear wall of sound that will flat out knock your socks off. They add their own unique twists and turns that will often make you sit up and say "WTF did they just do?".
So anyway, they're on a North American tour again this year and it begins next week. They're affiliated with PBS and play in the artsy types of venues that PBS loves which generally means a great concert experience in a small and classy venue. Check the schedule to see if they're coming to a place near you and go if you possibly can. You'll be blown away. Can't wait until June when we see them again.This will be 6 years in a row for us to see them and I don't know how they do it but they get better every year.
If they're coming to your area you'll be able to preview them on PBS when they do the pledge drive concert shows. They also have some stuff on you tube. Not sure what's there anymore but there used to be some good stuff from an old show at Red Rocks in Colorado and an entire concert in Amsterdam.
Schedule and a couple of pictures from '16 and '17.
