Echoes

Echoes gave the fans an amazing performance sans the video and lazer show. Focusing on the music the band treated us to a supet tight set, spot on vocals and another amazing performance by the entire band. Too good to miss, put this band on your Facebook feed and enjoy every performanceyou can.

Echoes performance Friday at the Queen in Wilmington was an amazing compilation of energy, talent and musicianship. From the driving beat laid down by John's drum work to funky sound of the "barefoot bassist" Kyle, we were taken on an amazing journey into Floyd's iconic master pieces. The sound was amplified and supported by the strong keyboards and wailing lead guitar solo's. The show which opened up with the classic "Shine on you crazy diamond" never failed to satisfy even the most devout Floyd fans in the audience. Johns vocals and guitar work on "Wish you were hear" supported by Bill's dueling guitar riffs raised the hair on the back of my neck, taking me back to a June 77 Floyd performance at the Spectrum. Hauntingly beautiful vocals from Chris, Michelle & Kat punctuated the performance, and their respective solo's were spot on. This is easily one of the foremost Floyd tribute bands that I've personally heard and well worth a listen. Having enjoyed many of Floyd's tours; "Wish You were Here" , "The Wall", "Momentary Lapse of Reason" & "Division Bell" I can give Echoes a "Five Cigar" rating on their latest live performance at the The Queen. Note: the tacky upgrade charges at the venue by managing producers "Live Nation" were un announced and a tasteless money grab, which could have been handled better at the point of purchase. (Don't mind paying for premium seats up front but don't spring it on us unannounced at the concert).That, along with a significant increase for beverages at the venue did not go over well with the faithful followers of Echoes.

It was truly a great performance and covered many songs from many albums! Any Pink Floyd fan would love it!
