Blue Floyd was a conglomeration of players from other big bands that you definitely know. Forming a traditional blues lineup, the band consisted of Allen Woody and Matt Abts from Gov't Mule, Marc Ford from The Black Crowes, Barry Oakley Jr. and Johnny Neel from The Allman Brothers Band. Allen Woody once said that the concept came from Michael Gaiman of Jazz Is Dead. Gaiman called Woody to let him know that he wanted to put together a blues band to play tribute to Pink Floyd music. Seeming like an obvious choice, Gaiman already had son of Allman Brothers founding member Oakley on board along with Abts, Ford, and Neel who Woody stated would " take them to church". Pink Floyd's material is so timeless. Dark Side Of The Moon spent a total of 917 charted weeks on the Billboard. The album, which was released in 1973 and spent a week at No. 1, continued to chart mostly on a regular basis through 1988. Everyone had their coming of age time with their experience with Pink Floyd. We've heard this band's music for so long. Pink Floyd is a perfect band and this music had all the answers. When you break it down, it's really just a spaced out blues band and we're just putting a little more blue in the ink. This as a real tribute. We all have a tip of the hat to Pink Floyd, respect their music and enjoy it.

This set was the first show of the American tour in 2000, and can be best described as a Blues Rock exploration into the music of Pink Floyd. Southern Rock royalty spread Pink Floyd with funky jam. Formed in 2000 by late Gov’t Mule bassist Alan Woody, Blue Floyd deconstructed the Pink Floyd’s catalogue into the realms of open-ended southern rock and blues terrains, becoming a huge attraction on the US jam scene. They have a blast, stretching out around anything from ''Interstellar Overdrive'' and ''Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun'' to ''Money'' and ''Shine On You Crazy Diamond''. Dead-standard duration are captured on this set, which present a fun and funky take on these chestnuts that fans should love, especially stoned under an open sky. These reworked Pink Floyd tunes get such marvelous treatment, that the result is just sheer jam and fusion bliss! Not too many folks out there even knew that Allen Woody could shred the guitar like he does in this group. With another extraordinary player like Marc Ford on the guitar, the two are a perfect concoction for any exploratory jam sequence. Vocals are peppered by almost every member in the band. It was during the jam sessions that the members organically figured out who was going to contribute vocally. Berry Oakley Jr.'s style and approach to these jams are nothing short of spontaneous and world class. Matt Abts technique is such a force behind the Gov't Mule that band nicknamed him "Stain" because he leaves a lasting impression on all of us as fans. During the stint of Blue Floyd's existence, other mind-bending guitarists such as Jimmy Herring, Jeff Pever, Audley Freed and Alvin Youngblood Hart sat in and jammed with the band. If you weren't able to catch this incredible act in the early 2000s, don't fret. That's the beautiful thing about music, it lives on forever!
