All In All It's a Pink Floyd Tribute

On Sept. 27 2006 the Kelowna Community Theatre hosted “All In All.. A Tribute to the Music of Pink Floyd.” 

I am not in the habit of personally reviewing events at our theatre, however, after witnessing last nights performance I feel compelled to share the experience. There is no question that the “All in All” show was by far the most pleasant surprise that I have had the good fortune to attend in our theatre and I was not alone in being completely overwhelmed by the absolute magic that took place on stage.   

Shortly after the concert started I witnessed several people rushing out of the auditorium. At first, I thought they were crazy, as it was obvious, from the opening note that we were in for a very special performance. Then I realized they were going into the lobby to telephone their friends to get down to the theatre so they wouldn’t miss this incredible event.   

The vocals, musicianship, harmonies, lighting and sound were all superb. The song selection was a perfect mix of Pink Floyd classics and lesser known pieces that didn’t just regurgitate a greatest hits list, but actually helped to educate an already intelligent audience on the depth of talent and creativity that Pink Floyd has shared with the world. As a life long Pink Floyd fan, I found myself coming out of the concert and wanting to find the Cd’s that contained the tracks I didn’t recognize.   “All in All” this was a fantastic show, and, even though I know it must be called a “Tribute” for legal reasons, the term “Tribute” does not do justice for the performance that took place in our theatre.

Howdy Dan and gang at "All In All,"

Congrats on a fantastic show tonight at the Sid Williams Theatre! I had been extremely excited about experiencing your tribute for the last couple of weeks... waiting to see (and hear) your take on some Pink Floyd classics. I'm of a younger generation of Floyd Fans, so I was really looking forward to some Division Bell stuff too.

Well, you guys blew me away. In my time with The Eagle (and almost 15 years in the radio biz) I've heard some great cover bands, but you guys didn't do covers. Closing my eyes during the performance...you WERE Pink Floyd. I never thought I'd get to experience anything closer to the real thing other than seeing Roger Waters in Santiago, Chile four years ago.

You guys made it happen. You're all fantastic musicians (the sax solos, the slide guitar, the ladies hittin' the high notes, the note-for-note lead guitar solos...all gave me goosebumps). Thanks again to everyone for an amazing show.

Your new fan,

Ryan Mennie
