The blog is not for reviews, but I can not help but make an exception after a visit to the P-Floyd concert in Dalhalla.

The prospects for a cover band is interesting, especially when the original band is no longer active. This means that you have a finite amount of music to work from. The original band had the potential to play their old hits, and to phase in new music for a development but the security to always fall back on what worked before, and audiences both familiar and want to hear. Cover band has security and a shortcut to the listener's heart, but lack the ability to evolve. Cover band is the interpreter of the original, a voiceover that reads aloud from someone else's model. Problems arise when the cover band grows, the original band's repertoire was a shortcut to the audience but will be in this phase a straitjacket. They are looking deeper into the disco graphics, and might want to also fill out with their own material, perhaps inspired by the original. They want to take the role as a writer and not just the narrator.

Personally, I'm head over heels in love with Pink Floyd - model. The first thing I bought when I moved away from home was a CD player and a single album - Pink Floyd "The Wall". Disc # 2 rolled in over a month in a row - I just lowered volume at night and I have hugged the pillow to "wish you were here."

The intersection of these lines, ports I need to comment on the concert. On the one hand, the P-Floyd quite magical on stage. They use the repertoire of pyrotechnics, aircraft, fire, white-clad people climbing the rock walls, backlit displays and lots of other effects that take the air out of you as a spectator. They fill the Pink Floyd material with spirit and presence that is unparalleled. No matter who the original band would be confined to bed, so you can identify the corresponding person from the P-Floyd as stand-in and no one had noticed any deterioration. The two körtjejerna was absolutely fantastic and deserves special mention! Brunette gave us all the jaw-dropping when she from a gap in the edge of the stage took in the toes of those who stood several meters below.

... And this is where you can not escape the fact that it is a 'but'. It was better two years ago. I admit, when we got there without any expectations and then it is easier to exceed expectations. It was, after all, a small local cover band, but they mangled me completely and you can not even hope for a second time.

However, I have a full understanding; P-Floyd wants to grow past the Waters ocfh Gill Mother's costumes - they want to be a band with its own raison d'etre. They do not want to be a narrator who reads other people's material - they also want to convey their exen text, now that they have received to ear. This year's concert content - especially before the break - a lot of material that I have not heard before. If it was your own, or more obscure songs does not matter, but illustrating a cover band at a breakpoint.
