After getting stoned and losing the file not once, but twice, as I was trying to put 'em up here, I think I have it together now, so I won't screw it up again.

Without further adue, here are the Australian Pink Floyd images, as promised a week ago, LOL. Just click on the images for larger image.

Dunno what happened to this last shot - all I can say is I was feeling quite like the image at the concert. it was AWESOME. the only thing that sucked is that my batteries for the camera died after the Wish You Were Here set.

I missed the huge pissed off dancing kangaroo (in place of the real Floyds' pig), and the huge boar hog floating over the stage. I'll get those next year, as I hear they'll be back next year!

Mind you, these guys DO NOT LOOK LIKE the guys from PF. Their goal is to recreate as close as possible the whole Pink Floyd concert experience - the visuals, the sound, etc.

Go to The Australian Pink Floyd Show (http://www.aussiefloyd.com) for more info on the band. If you missed them when they came through your town, and you are a true Floyd fan, you surely missed a helluva show.

Now some of these are better than others - some actually aren't very good at all - but I never said I was Pro, LOL...

I LOVE the Kangaroo with the Flaming Dude. Such a cool touch, and refreshingly creative, compared to other Floyd cover bands. one of the reasons, Gillmore, Wright, and Waters endorsed, and incidently, partied with these guys backstage at a concert in L.A. a few years back!

Amen, Kenn, and you guys make some damn good automobiles, as well. I have the Holden Monaro USA version, aka '06 Pontiac GTO, and I have had ZERO problems with it. I have about 7600 miles on it, and just LOVE it. Click on my username to see it in my profile.

More images from the concert at the Fabulous Fox Theatre, circa 1920's (would have to look up exact opening date). The venue has always been Atlanta's PREMIERE concert venue, since the 60's, when rockers were allowed to rock out at the Fox.

Been going there since in the 70's. seen lots of great bands there. i LOVE that place. A NUST SEE when in Atlanta. Take the tour, it's worth it!

I could kick myself for not remembering extra batteries, but I was so concerned about sneaking the camera in, and other "things", that i completely forgot.

By far, the best visuals was the second set, of which I did not get to shoot due to - what else -- DEAD BATTERIES.

Note to self: remember EXTRA BATTERIES!!!! What's so funny is I've been snapping photos since I was a teen, LOL...

Houston, Dallas, Tulsa, San Antonio, Austin, then a few gigs in Florida in Clearwater, Orlando, Fort Myers, and Miami, then on to Cincinnatti, Canton, Pittsburgh, and the tour wraps in New York City.

They'll come by the UK soon.
