The zeitgeist can often be over rated, its meaning shrouded in a warped sense of nostalgia as we attempt to put our fingers on a pulse that stopped beating when we were no longer paying attention. We search in vain, we grasp the remnants of what made us tick to the clock buzzing inside our minds and we see Time as a complete picture, and not the fragmented illusion that it is, one in which we attempt to place the jigsaw pieces back together, seeing an all-embracing, beautiful sunset, not realising that the picture on the front of the box is actually one that bears no resemblance to what we remember.

Brit Floyd, Gig Review. Echo Arena, Liverpool. (2017).

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

It could be argued that the pulse of the Universe runs through the veins of what we feel, the mood we inhabit and the longing we have deep inside of us for the comfortable and unnerving in equal measure; such is that pulse, such is beauty in a single note that the art and the artist are entwined, that even hearing it performed by another is enough to raise the goosebumps to a point where they can be seen from space.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It is a problem that can flummox the most ardent or even the most casual of music lovers in Liverpool, that nowhere in the U.K., with perhaps the possible exception of London with its network of collected villages all rolled up into a Westminster empiric bag, can offer so much music in one night to its populace that audiences can be split through loyalty, nostalgia and shared love.

Even a torrential downpour hitting Liverpool throughout the day could barely dent the anticipation of Brit Floyd’s welcome return to the place in which it all started.  If anything, it only heightened the expectation of what was to come, what time would allow the people of the city and its neighbourhoods to revel in, the feeling of wonderment and nostalgia that the music being skilfully recreated of Pink Floyd’s greatest moments by the finest musicians and one very special guest.

L.S. Media Rating *****

There is nothing quite like nostalgia; especially when it’s done to with an inch of perfection, a decent sized crowd have enjoyed it immensely and the songs have been as near perfect as you can imagine.

Brit Floyd arrived in Salisbury for their debut show in the city full of hope and aspirations to make some of the small Wiltshire city relive some of the best music to have come out of these islands by one of the most popular bands to ever grace a stage. It is more than fair to say that they easily beat those aims.
