This is the first time I've seen Brit Floyd, though I did see basically the same group in their guise as Aussie Floyd more than once. They were supposed to play San Diego last year but cancelled at the last minute. That date would have made for an excellent comparison between Brit and Aussie Floyds, since I saw AF in Mesa, AZ a week later. Oh well....
Anyway, I was somewhat disappointed with the concert on May 8 at Balboa Theater in SD. First, I have to agree with thegammas - the bass was way too heavy - more like a rap concert. Although it was a bit disconcerting during the concert, I didn't really think about it much until we decided to leave during the encore. From outside the theater, it was much more apparent. The entire building was vibrating. No wonder my ears were ringing!
Second, I don't know if Damien was just "off" that day but his vocals were a bit "sharp". This was really noticeable at times.
Third, although Balboa Theater is typically a good venue for many acts, the stage was too small for BF. There were no lasers - something we've all come to expect from any "Floyd" act (was the venue afraid they would damage the decor?) and there was barely enough room on the stage for the performers and the round screen. The other lighting was well done but I really missed the lasers.
One huge positive - they played for three hours with only a 15-minute break in the middle. Compare to AF's typical 1-1/2 to 2 hour concerts and I can say that all in all, I definitely got my money's worth. In fact on the way home, my friend and I agreed we were "Floyded Out" for once (don't think for long, though).
I would likely attend if they play in SD again. I just hope they choose a different venue.
