I've seen The Australian Pink Floyd live and the wee lass nailed it that night just as the wee lass did that originally nailed it on DSotM. But this performance? No tha
If only the Aussies were capable of producing a talent like Pink Floyd, rather than just copying it.

I watched it last night. I’m really no fan of his solo work and have no interest in Floyd past The Wall, but good grief that bloke can play guitar! Forget everything else, the guitar sound and playing were just astonishing, every bend absolutely perfectly to pitch and just effortless in delivery. It actually had me googling afterwards as I just couldn’t understand how a Strat can make the sound he gets, especially on the pickup settings he looked to be using. It turns out there is some shenanigans going on in that his guitar is rewired so the neck pickup can be on with any other pickup combination (which you can’t do with a standard Strat). Impressive stuff anyway.

Agreed. I’d be far more interested if he moved the amazing guitar playing into an instrumental jazz or electronica setting, i.e. just forgot about trying to recreate past glories and did something genuinely new. I’d really like to see that.
