All In All It’s Just received many emails from audience members who attended one or more of our shows. We saved all those messages in text form, but we didn’t date them! It’s always the little things that get you. Here are some of the messages that the band received, in no particular order, posted word-for-word as they were received:

Dear All in All,

Your show here in Vernon last September was easily the best thing to happen here in a long time. Me and my friends bought front row center tickets because we knew it’d be one of the greatest experiences of our lives. You probably wouldn’t remember us but we stayed after your show and got each of your band member’s signatures on our All in All poster. Robb even gave us his drumstick that he used for the show.

Now we beg of you, please come back to Vernon. We know you guys are coming to Kelowna to which we’ll probably end up going too but coming to Vernon would just be icing on the cake. We’ll get on our hands and knee’s and beg for it, please come back to the Performing Arts Center. We beg of it.

What an awesome show!!!

Wasn’t sure what to expect with a tribute band that has only been together for a year but my concerns have been totally wiped out. I would close my eyes and I could swear it was really Pink Floyd performing on stage, especially on Dark side of the moon and shine on you crazy diamond.

I am definitely there next time you come to town. And a special thanks to Mishka who took genuine interest in what I had to say. It was a real pleasure talking to you. Again thanks for a great show!

Hello,

My name is Kristen and I loved your show. I had come out from Calgary to visit family in Kelowna with my 3 month old (who’s teehing and making somewhat of a debut). I decided a couple more sleepless nights on my parents couch would be worth it to be able to say I went to a concert and listened to the music of Pink Floyd. The audience were thrilled to hear how much you sound like the real deal. You definitely did Pink Floyd justice.

My only regret was my husband (who turned me on to Pink Floyd when I was 18) was back to work in Calgary. Which brings me to my request. Please, please, please come to Calgary so I can take him to hear you. Thank you for taking to time to read my e-mail and I wish you fun and success with future endevours.

Sincerly, Kristen, Calgary AB

Just got back from seeing, “All in All It’s Just”, here in Victoria BC.

Brilliant job, I had a great time.

The show is just fantastic, that is really what I think ….. oh by the way …… “All in All It’s Just” found the Floyd groove and was in the Floyd zone. That’s all that is important. I enjoyed the show immensely, it was great. My son and I and everyone else from what I could see loved every minute. A great selection on the set list and some of my personal favorites, including “On The Turning Away”, which always moves me. And their bass player did it very well. Also they did Set The Controls, which I had never heard live, and Arnold Layne too! But their selection covered all Floyd eras and was very well balanced with all the Pink Floyd classic favorites.

Victoria, BC, Canada is notorious for having extremely conservative and uninvolved audiences and musicians around here know that playing to a Victoria BC crowd can be a really tough gig, as you seldom get any audience feedback. The audience last night had a great time. They were noisy, they sang along, they cheered and shouted compliments and the list goes on. They got a standing “O” at the end of the first act. So the show was a huge hit, and they had about 700 in a 800 seat theater. There were some personal high spots, including the Great Gig In The Sky singers, and they all performed brilliantly. This is often the litmus test for Floyd tribute shows, because if you win over the crowd with this one, the crowd is yours. These three gals knocked this number right out of the park!

“All in All It’s Just” a show worth seeing.

Hello

We just want to thank you for your incredible performance on this Saturday in Victoria. My husband saw Pink Floyd once in Seattle and once in Vancouver in early seventies and was a bit sceptical going in to the concert as to how good can any one else be… His reaction was wonderful to watch as you geared up into the second song. All we could think of was sadness for anyone not sitting with us in the theatre, experiencing your incredible sound and musicianship. We especially liked the visual clips and lights. Well done!

Thanks to you all for a wonderful evening. Please let us know when you will be back to Victoria, and glad you are islanders too. Lucky us all,

Anne and Graham, Victoria BC

Hi guys,

I was at the show on Sat and thought it was great. You did a great job in all areas. I am a serious Floyd fan and had reservations about going but I’m glad I did.

How serious? Every Sunday morning I am in charge of brunch and without exception Floyd goes on to accompany my efforts. My kids have grown up with this ritual and my 7 yr old’s favourite band is you guessed it (he was choked he couldn’t come along although his 18 yr old brother did). An interesting long term result of the Sunday Floyd session is that it is pretty likely that later in life, when they hear Pink Floyd they will be hungry for waffles or when they smell waffles they will have the urge to hear Dark Side of the Moon. As it is, if Floyd is on any other time they come in looking for food so it seems to be working in a Pavlovian way. My sick contribution to their lives.

Cheers and best of luck in the future.

Jeff, Victoria BC

Dear All in All It’s Just;

Even though I was raised in the Pink Floyd early years, it was not until yesterday that I really came to appreciate their music. I had always loved a number of their compositions, but had only one of their albums – ‘Dark Side of the Moon’.

A close friend invited me to your March 1st Victoria concert at Uvic (too many people missed this awesome performance). It was my first time to enjoy all of your members’ talents, and I have to tell you, your music was so good, it made tears run down my cheeks. It was a Gift which I will treasure always….and for me – YOU are the original !

Rock on !!

Perry Woods, Victoria BC, a new fan.

Hi All,

Just want to say thank-you for a great concert Saturday night (Mar 1st). It was, without a doubt, one of the most uplifting performances I’ve seen – the sound, the light show, the vocals, the energy – all in all a truly happy experience.

I’ve been a fan of Pink Floyd since I was a kid, back in the seventies, listened to their albums almost daily, but regrettably never saw them live. Now, thanks to you, I feel like I have, twice (I saw your show at the MacPherson, back in 2006) and I have to say, there’s nothing quite like listening to live Pink Floyd for three hours solid. Nothing.

So, thanks again for another unforgettable performance and for bringing the music of Pink Floyd back into my life. Way to go. I hope to see you again. And again.

Jo-Ann (Victoria, BC)

Hi folks!

Just got home from your concert in Trail… thank you so much for a great performance! I’m one of them older guys who listened to Pink Floyd back in the teen years and after and I have to say you guys really pull it off. Sound, presentation, skill and enthusiasm all there, all blended together sending me the listener into an insightful and inspirational experience. Kinda reminded me of the old acid days. Way to go!!

As a fellow musician I can really appreciate the work invested to get to where you are. Your work is a real contribution to the industry while doing justice to one of rocks most influential bands.

Once again… thanks for the ride. I just got to get a more powerful stereo now to crank up those tunes to the level of unforgetfulness you folks left in my brain.

Viva la music and life itself. We are blessed to be able to express ourselves!!

Keith, a Trail resident.

Hi all,

Just a quick message. I have loved loved loved Pink Floyd since I was a kid back in the 70″s and even in 2000 nothings changed, still love them. Made sure I went to the Tribute concert here and I was absolutely amazed and impressed on the performance. Like they say, Close your eyes and you would never know that you werent at the real Pink Floyd concert.

I loved it and I am totally impressed by all the band members, the vocals were out of this world and the music was undescribable, just takes you away and thats exactly what I have always loved about Pink Floyds music, it just takes you away and like Dan says, takes you to your happy place, well thats mine. Thanks for the greatest concert yet and keep up the amazing work, hope to see you all again soon.

Beverly, Cranbrook

Saw your concert last September and was at your concert again tonight.

Again I absolutely loved it. Heard some music you didn’t play the last time around which is what I was hoping for and a nice change was playing the music in random order instead of chronologically. I even brought my 16 year old son with me this time as he is also a fan of Pink Floyd. One sad note was not seeing the same backup singers. Had a nice chat with Michelle last time.

Anyways thanks again for a great show.

Kelly, Vernon

To the members of All in All,

Hi my name is Kristen. I saw your show when I was visiting in Kelowna. I enjoyed it so much, that I sent you an email requesting that you come to Calgary, so I could share the experience with my husband (I believe the words I used were please, please, please). Well, we saw the show last night and to to use the words of hubby, “Wow! What an awsome show!” So, when are you coming back? We sincerly hope you do, but in the mean time, best wishes in all your future endevours.

Kristen, Calgary

You all did an amazing job and I hope to see you again in the near future!

Greetings all

We saw your concert in Kelowna and would love to catch any showings in the interior. Why not in Salmon Arm??

Great show!

Thanks, Randolph David

Hi Guys,

I just saw your show in Kelowna last Wednesday. What a great time we had. I saw Pink Floyd at Maple Leaf Gardens on the Dark Side Of The Moon tour, I think I was 22 at the time, it was great too, but give me the small venue anytime. Your sound guys did an amazing job.

We will be coming to see you in Vernon on the 20th of April. I will bring my two teenage daughters. They really like Pink Floyd and are both great sax players. It will be an experience they will not forget.

Thanks again for a great night, see you in Vernon.

Cheers, Steve

Hello there All In All its Just.

I`m impressed seeing this years show in Campbell River. You guys and gals have improved from last year without question.

Hawes on guitar: good to see the feelings you are putting into your playing and bending the chord for the unique sound of that from David Gilmore. Lyons on bass: this guy is so cool on that bass rif on “One Of These Days”, likely one of the best pieces of music ever written.

The acoustics were much better, the echoes, voice fading, and can not forget the keyboardist. However, perhaps a little more bass, just a touch would be great. The gals were fabulous, the drummer and the other guitarist were also great. At the Sid Williams: has a better sounding theatre than the Tidemark and the bass will ring out more, I`m sure.

It`s been since 1975 in Vancouver, the only time I seen Pink Floyd in concert. My only question is, can you bark out “Us and Them”? Others I talk to want to hear more tunes off the album Animals.

See you at the Sid, Feb.12.

Yours, Kirk Williams.
