I mean NO disrespect to the band at all, but I would not pay to see these guys EVER again. I would expect to see this band playing for free at a carnival. The light show was not good and the drummer was out of time for the majority of the show. If you are a real Pink Floyd fan.....just sit in a dark room and listen to your old albums....you won't feel like you just got pick pocketed.

The past 4 years I have gone to see The Machine in Harrisburg on Thanksgiving Eve and I think I am now spoiled. The Kezwick show was good, but my seats were in the very back and it was extremely noisy around me -- people were talking the entire show. And I was right by the concession stand/bar so that was very noisy as well. Also, the seats are very close together at the Kezwick and I was uncomforably close to my neighbors.

The Machine was not all it was said to be by their fans. Sometimes the band was spot on and others it was way off in left field. When you go to see a tribute band you expect them to represent the music of the band with accuracy and the same passion as the original artists... this was not the case with the Machine. I took my sister to the show and she is a diehard Floyd fan and she was disappointed and even lost at some points. We expected a tribute, what we got was a cover band in a bar that took liberties with the music when they just should have stuck to what people were there for: To hear Pink Floyd... not jazz-blues improvisation in the middle of songs that should remain faithful to the original.
What also gave the atmosphere of a bar band was that they inexplicably took a break in the middle of the show which I felt was unprofessional and needless. They played Echoes and from the very start of the song which is unique in its style and atmosphere The Machine managed to botch it into a difficult to follow introduction that made me wonder why the band even thought that changing a Floyd staple was a terrific idea. To add insult to injury they didn't even complete Echoes, they stopped in the middle of things and started Learning to Fly. I was confused how you start an epic tune like that and not finish it.
The musicianship was good from a strictly musical standpoint, however they lacked the love for the music they were playing. I would not see them again and suggest that people check out The Pink Floyd Experience to get the true representation of what Pink Floyd is all about because The Machine is not that band.

Another awesome Black Friday concert! I've been returning to the Keswick to see The Machine since winning a radio contest in May 2010. Have enjoyed each appearance we've attended since then. Finally got to hear them play "Learning to Fly", which I had requested back in 2010.

This was 6 years straight that the wife and I have gone to this show on Black Friday. This is one of my birthday gifts every year.
Farewell to the lead singer/guitar player Joe as he is off to new ventures after 25 years.
It will be hard to replace him.
As an avid Floyd fan, you can not find another "tribute" band who compares to The Machine.

Loved the show! The musicians are amazing, spot-on, and passionate about their performances. They also really know and cater to their audience.
My only recommendations are to tighten the show to 2 hours and to have lmore lighting on the musicians and their playing and less on the audience.
Thanks for a really great show!

I just saw these guys at State Theatre in Falls Church and they were incredible! They played all the 'hits' (Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Time, Wish You Were Here, etc.) and played some songs that I love extremely well like Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun, Free Four, Sheep.
They had two sets, and took a somewhat lengthy intermission in between shows which tested my patience a little, lol, but as soon as they came back and started playing Shine On You Crazy Diamond I completely forgot about the intermission. In total, they were on for about two and a half hours and you can tell they were enjoying the hell out of it. Great show, one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I've seen some great shows.

Went to Showcase Live in Foxboro MA last night, 12/28/2011, to see The Machine, A Pink Floyd tribute band. First off, what a nice Venue, great stage, reasonably priced food and cocktails, plenty of free parking, attentive waitstaff. This was my first time at this venue and I was definitely impressed. I have seen The Machine play at least a dozen times over the years all across New England. Every time I've seen them I've been blown away with their talent, their professionalism, and their attention to detail. They always left me wanting more, and I would tell everybody how awesome they were. Last night was a complete train wreck from the first note. I haven't seen them in several years, and the first thing I noticed was that the only member I recognized was the bass player. I have never seen the other 3 members of the band until last night. They were all extremely talented, BUT, they were NOT Pinkk Floyd. That band used to make the hair on the back of my neck stand up every time I saw them. I guess those days are over. One of the highlights of their shows used to be "wish you were here", with the most insanely accurate guitar playing to go along with it. From the 12 string intro to the mind blowing electric solo in the middle, it was ridiculious!!! Last night, the "mind blowing" guitar solo in the middle of the song consisted of some horrific noises coming out of what sounded like a childs toy keyboard. What a disgrace to what this band once was. With all the new members in this band, and their own versions of Pink Floyd's amazing music, I really think they should have changed the name of the band as well. Had I known any of this going in, I never would have gone to see them. Once again, very talented musicians, I can't take that away from them, but not even close to the epic performances that I have seen in the past.

On occasion during the performance, if I closed my eyes, the sound made me think I was at a live Floyd concert. Some things didn't work well for the venue, but for the most part, the band does a very respectable job of channeling the original soul of Pink Floyd. I would gladly attend again, or pay more to attend in a better venue.

The Machine is the ultimate tribute band to Pink Floyd. Fans of Pink Floyd yearning for another Pink Floyd tour and that are tired of waiting should definitely check out The Machine. The bad sounds eeirly like a clone of Pink Floyd. This was a birthday present for my brother who is a huge Pink Floyd fan. As like I, my brother enjoyed the show immensely. I recommend this for fans of Pink Floyd and Floyd music. This is definetly a do not miss for any Floyd fan!

My husband and I went for our 24th wedding anniversary was a great concert! Truly filled with people who love Pink Floyd, don't think anyone was disappointed. Light show was awesome. The only part we didn't like was the Sherman Theater the seats were so small and close, it made for a very uncomfortable night But "THE MACHINE," well the are great.

Let's face it, Pink Floyd is gone and will never be playing together again. Roger Waters has his solo tours, and everything David Gilmour tried to do after the band's break up was a pretty big fail in my opinion. Even if you manage to find a venue of theirs you will be paying a lot of money for not even the real thing.
Enter The Machine
They are just as big of fans of Pink Floyd as you are and they won't let you down. Their tickets are affordable to any Pink Floyd fan; they play at your local venue rather than some large expensive arena. Their diverse choice of tracks from all of the popular CD's is very satisfying. Their timing is perfect; their sound is closer to the real Pink Floyd than any other cover band will achieve. Depending on which member is singing, they can even sound close enough vocally. Long story short, you can nit pick short comings, but they are a cover band, and they do it damn well. So if they are playing near you, grab your friends and/or a date and enjoy the show!

I seen these guys about 5 years ago at the National. First, I love the venue...The National rocks. Second....what happened to The Machine. 5 years ago you guys rocked with popular tunes. You can play the songs greatly, I've seen you do it. But the old Pink Floyd stuff is ok music but not great. Unless The Machine states that they are playing the popular tunes, I doubt I will go back.
