House of Floyd

Great show and venue! We definitely we see them again. Go see them if you have a chance.

What an enjoyable evening of Pink Floyd tunes! House of Floyd were quite good. As there are SO many Pink Floyd tribute bands around, I would say that they are not the best but certainly not the worst of the lot. Totally enjoyable, but with no deep cuts or musical surprises in any way. Just the expected Floyd tunes. Band was tight and they had a nice laser show. For $15, it is hard to find any better entertainment. Beautiful venue with a friendly staff.

great show, sound man needs to adjust to less instruments when there are vocals, could not understand any of the lyrics.

The band has 4 singers each sharing the lead for all of the songs they played. Some of the singers were better than the others which made the known songs kind of ho-hum. Being that it was a Pink Floyd show the songs didn't flow together too well. Big breaks in between songs and their talking was distracting especially because you couldn't understand what they were bantering about. Overall though the show was entertaining. With the lasers, lights and pretty good music they pulled off a good Pink Floyd tribute. The instrument solos were pretty dead on and that was awesome. It was a tribute and not a "let's add in our own stuff here and there" show. That made it enjoyable to kinda relive the best songs we love. Being that this show was at a Casino they started right on time and stopped in an hour an a half to the minute. Would've of enjoyed more actually.

The most true to original, the band seems to play for the love of Floyd.

Me and my wife went to the Pink Floyd Experience show at the Arizona Casino it was very good show I do recommend this to any Pink Floyd fan that love the music...!!!

Vocals great, guitar great, light show good. I really enjoyed the show it was wonderful

The only reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 5, is because they did a few older, bid-trip songs that I didn't know, or enjoy. I started listening to Pink Floyd in the early 80's. The friend I went with is older, and she has known of their music from the 60's. But, she didn't even recognize one of the songs. Talent in the band is amazing though. The songs they did from The Wall, DSotM, and Wish You Were Here were right on. The venue we were in didn't do justice to their light show. Though I enjoyed that part of it as well. I'll note that it's worth going just to hear Sherri sing Great Gig in the Sky.

These guys were awesome. I would happily watch them again next time they are in my area.

I've had the experience of seeing "House of Floyd" a couple of years ago in Newman. They really blew the roof off with their set list, light show, and their musical abilities this show. When the tickets were purchased, I didn't know who was actually playing, it was just billed as the "pink floyd experience," I'm pleased that we gave them a "second chance." I would now see them again, with no regrets....

Overall was worth what I paid. I've seen better Floyd cover bands but their show was worth the watch. No frills show.

I would say that my overall experience was good. the band was very much together and knew their parts and played them well. The light show was done well- worth the money. I would recommend them to any Pink Floyd fan- and would pay to see them again. I am glad they built this venue for shows like this.

Excellent musicians, impressive laser and video, and the female vocalist--unforgettable! One of the best tribute bands I've ever seen.

This was our first time at the Fred Kavli venue and our first time seeing House of Floyd. Both were wonderful. House of Floyd... how do you describe perfection? Seriously, all you had to do was close your eyes for just a moment and you were transported back to an early Pink Floyd concert... that's how good/genuine this band is. I found myself hypnotized when I listened to the guitar riffs~ the keyboards, sax, drums, vocalists..every individual was a master at their craft. The laser show was nothing short of outstanding. Needless to say, we didn't want the night to end and wish they could have played for another couple of hours! Thanks for rockin' the house HOF. What a great journey you're all on.

Craclking speakers, and lame light show, need I go on

When I purchased my tickets it was billed as " Pink Floyd Laser Extravaganza " So I was surprised to see the live band set up. Still thinking it was going to be more of a laser show, we waited and waited for this " Laser Extraavaganza " Only after the halfway break did anything close to a light show start, 1 song later it was right back to what looked like one or two laser pens being waved around, not even to the beat of the music. I will say the band had some very good moments and would give them 3 stars, but I wouldn't pay the 45.00 per ticket to see them.

I wasn't expecting a Live Band, I misread the advertisements, I was expecting a show akin to the old laserium shows of the 70s with images projected on a screen. This was much better. Much much better. The line-up of songs was mixed up nicely from Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Animals and Wish You Were Here. Even "Great Gig in the Sky" was well done and the screaming school master I and my 17-year old are HUGE Pink Floyd fans and we would be the FIRST to damn and criticize any phony attempts to imitate Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour. Well done!! My only very very small criticism: We missed Water's maniacal laugh at the beginning of the song "Dark Side of the Moon." Please add it. We left very very happy (and immediately put "Run Like Hell" on the CD player in the car.

Nice job. (You barely fit on the small stage but you pulled it off) Great performance with a little bit of live "grit." Volume was just right

Fantastic performance! Authentic and inspiring. Aladdin Theatre made for perfect venue. Audience clearly enjoyed. The house was full to the very end.

The show was amazing, loved the group and the music. The light show was great too, the only draw back was the seats at The Aladdin are as old as the building itself and though it looks very nice inside, updating the seat would make a big difference. The comfort of the experience would be sooo much better!!

This band just better and better as the night went on. there instrumentals were off the hook. i like the fact that they didn't try to copy The Floyd, but did it there own special way. Would see them again in a heart beat. Did no like the Aladdin though. Way to structured, and they had security on red alert the whole time for no apparent reason. The Rosland would have been a much better venue!!

I took my 12 year old son to see "House of Floyd" at Portland's historic Aladdin Theatre Saturday night. My son is a fan of all 70's music and claims he was born in the wrong decade, so while I knew he wasn't as likely to go bonkers this night as he did at Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience several months ago, I had high hopes that he'd get a better appreciation of the music of Pink Floyd. And if he didn't... too bad! I love Floyd. It is appropriate that a tribute band to Pink Floyd include an extended version of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond," since the song itself was Pink Floyd's tribute to founder/guitarist Syd Barrett. House of Floyd performed this song exceptionally well and I knew we were in for more than a "greatest hits" set from what may be the best Pink Floyd tribute band currently in existence. The entire first set drew from lesser known albums and tracks, brought forth from the seven players on stage with subtlety and virtuosity. Pink Floyd's music does not, for the most part, lend itself to jumping up and down and hollering at the performers on stage as we might do at a concert from a majority of other artists. I contend the albums are best heard in a darkened room in a comfortable chair with headphones on. Laser Floyd is a perpetual hit at the planetarium at OMSI here in Portland, whose reclining seats and artificial night sky accompany a laser light show and superb sound system to become the perfect match for Pink Floyd's recorded material. That's what we got at the House of Floyd show on Saturday, as well. For the most part, the performers played in shadows while the light show played on the walls and ceiling of the ancient venue. House of Floyd understands that the music is the star, not the players, and although all of them were great and the sum of their parts brilliant, the music they played was what took most of the audience back to those special places in our memories when we first heard -- and "got" -- Pink Floyd. Mark Showalter is an accomplished musician and has a reputation outside of House of Floyd. I was blown away, however, by how much he sounds like Roger Waters. The entire band is terrific, as well, as comfortable with the material as I expect the original members of Pink Floyd ever were. It is remarkable how much material Pink Floyd had that never made it to an album. "Raving and Drooling" was one such song, played in concert several times but never recorded in its original form (it was reworked and retitled "Sheep" for the "Animals" album). The second act of Saturday's show began with this gem (either the first or second song of the act, I can't remember which and wasn't writing it down!) 20 minutes into the second act, House of Floyd took on "Dark Side of the Moon," almost in its entirety. While certainly a crowd favorite, it didn't resonate as well with me as the first act did, most likely because so much of Dark Side is synthesized, which leaves a bunch of musicians standing on stage doing nothing for extended periods of time. The group finished their encore with a couple tracks from "The Wall," including "Comfortably Numb," which, along with "Money," were the only times I could hear the audience singing along. House of Floyd faithfully recreates the music and feel of Pink Floyd. For those who are already Floyd fans, particularly fans of the band's earlier work, you're going to love this show. Since the energy and performance of the live set is decidedly -- and deliberately -- subtle, however, it's difficult to determine how far House of Floyd may go to converting new generations of Pink Floyd fans. Since my son downloaded "Animals" and "Wish You Were Here" on his iPod Sunday morning following Saturday night's show, they at least got one new one!

Hghly recommended! great music - duh it's Floyd - but these guys got chops! fantastic light show to boot! GO! AND GO PREPARED!
