Brit Floyd is at the top of the echelon of the many Pink Floyd tribute bands -- or tribute bands of any kind -- operating these days, Led by former Australian Pink Floyd Show member Damian Darlington, the group -- playing Friday, Nov.
The Pink Floyd tribute act Brit Floyd performs Friday, Nov. 10 at the Akron Civic Center When it comes to Pink Floyd, Damian Darlington don’t need no education.
“People come along to meet-and-greets and tell us how much they value what we do for them,” Darlington, 54, says by phone, in an interview to promote the group’s appearance Friday“They value the opportunity to experience Pink Floyd’s music live. Even though Roger is still touring and Nick is still touring and playing the older Pink Floyd music, there seems to be something about having the opportunity to hear the sort of set list that we can do that some of the other guy’s wouldn’t do.
“I’ve always taken it very seriously,” Darlington explains, “and have an enormous amount of respect for the music that we play. I feel there is a responsibility to sort of, without getting too sanctimonious, treat it in a respectful way and recreate the experience as faithfully as we can.” This year’s Brit Floyd tour coincides, of course, with the 50th anniversary of “The Dark Side of the Moon,” Pink Floyd’s worldwide sensation and an album that’s one of the top sellers of all time and always in a discussion of the best ever. While Pink Floyd prohibits tribute bands from playing the album in its entirety, anyone attending a Brit Floyd show, past or present, does get to hear a healthy sampling from the iconic set.
“It’s sad to see when there’s another sort of spat they make public,” Darlington notes. “I sort of realized a long time ago there was never going to be a Pink Floyd reunion -- it’s sad, but it’s a fact. What’s happened recently, the stuff over Twitter seemed to be taking things to a whole different level. It’s just...sad.”
