Sounds Like: By Tamas Virag Black PressChances are, none of us will ever see Pink Floyd play live again.Those of us who have been lucky enough to see them sometime during the last four decades will probably remember the experience for the rest of our lives and wish we could go again.Those who have never seen them wish they had the chance.A new tribute band, All In All, It’s Just, is here to fulfil that wish, or at least come as close as possible. They will be wrapping up their four-stop Vancouver Island mini tour in Courtenay at the Sid Williams Theatre on June 23.I recently went to check them out at one of their rehearsals.The first strains of One of These Days were filtering through the doors of the rural community hall where the band was practicing.That unforgettable bass line still makes my spine tingle, even after having heard it countless times.My first thought was “wow, these guys sound just like the real deal.”As I walked into the hall, the bright sunshine outside was contrasted by the complete darkness inside; the large room was filled only with sound.Then, as the song progressed, images started appearing on the screen behind the band, and the otherwordly light Pink Floyd is famous for sliced and danced across the darkness.My second thought was “wow, these guys look just like the real deal.”The band, comprised of eight musicians, including the requisite female back-up singers, and the two sound and light technicians, put on a show that only the most devoted of Floyd fans will be able to differentiate from a live Pink Floyd stage performance.The sound of the instruments and the tone of the singers’ voices are so strikingly close to the original that, even on just a rehearsal, I kept finding myself thinking that the audio-visual experience is the closest I’ll ever get to reliving the 1994 Floyd concert I went to as a kid.The Friday, June 23 performance at Sid Williams Theatre will feature two-and-a-half hours of pure Pink Floyd sights and sounds. All In All, It’s Just will take you, in chronological order, on a trip of Pink Floyd’s musical career from 1967s Piper at the Gates of Dawn through classics like Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here to the 1994 masterpiece, Division Bell.
