The Machine is an excellent Pink Floyd tribute band that allows recordings of their shows to be hosted on the Live Music Archive. At the time of this writing, there are 22 shows available for download in a variety of formats - namely, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, and VBR MP3. So far I have downloaded three shows, and they all sound great and are quite lengthy; each of them clocks in at just under three hours.
The Machine covers a huge variety of Pink Floyd material. All the staples that you would expect are here, like "Money", "Another Brick in the Wall Part II", and "Comfortably Numb", as well as more obscure songs; notably, they play songs from The Final Cut, something Pink Floyd themselves never did in concert. They even play songs from the two David Gilmour-led albums, A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, which kind of surprised me as those two albums do not seem to be very popular among Pink Floyd fans (The Division Bell happens to be my favourite album of theirs, though). All of the songs are played incredibly well - to my ear, there's not a whole lot to distinguish them from the real deal, making them very authentic sounding.
This post has been written in memory of my father, who passed away very suddenly last month. Music was a huge part of his life, something that he passed on to both of his sons, and he was the biggest Pink Floyd fan I have ever known. I love you, Dad. I wish you were here, but I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
