WISH YOU WERE HERE is Midwest America's most popular Pink Floyd tribute show and has gained international recognition for it's detailed recreations of Floyd's greatest albums and tours. WISH YOU WERE HERE's theatrical concert presentation combines Sight and Sound to capture the mood, emotions, and intensity of the Pink Floyd experience. The show utilizes a professional 8-piece musical ensemble featuring 6 vocalists (including 2 female vocalists), authentic sound effects, theatrical vignettes with props, characters & flying inflatables, and a choreographed light show with rolling fog and state-of-the-art intelligent lighting - all produced by experienced industry professionals with a fan's obsession for detail. WISH YOU WERE HERE authentically recreates the music from Pink Floyd's entire career, performing the crowd favorites that all rock fans recognize, interspersed with the show-stoppers that appease even the most ardent Floyd fanatics. Since 1987, as one of the very first bands in America to tribute Pink Floyd, it's core members have been at the forefront of the American Tribute Band movement, setting the goals & standards that many have since aspired to, with an unparalleled record of sold-out shows and celebrated productions. .. .. Based in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame city - Cleveland, Ohio - WISH YOU WERE HERE has become internationally famous for it's large-scale recreations of Pink Floyd's most celebrated tours, as recognized in ..The Rough Guide To Pink Floyd... In July of 2008 WISH YOU WERE HERE staged the most elaborate production of THE WALL ever performed by an American Pink Floyd tribute act, at TimeWarner Cable Amphitheater in Cleveland. In May 2006 the band recreated the 1973 DARK SIDE OF THE MOON show at Blossom Music Center (where Floyd actually performed the same show) in front of over 4,300 fans, and in July 2005 the band recreated the 1977 ANIMALS tour at the Nautica Pavilion to over 3,300 fans - with Quadraphonic sound, video projections, lasers, and the debut of their giant inflatable pig, Ziffel, making WISH YOU WERE HERE the only Pink Floyd tribute band in the world to utilize a giant inflatable pig precisely modeled after the one used for the ANIMALS album cover shoot at Battersea Station. .... WISH YOU WERE HERE holds the "sell-out and attendance record" at the HOUSE OF BLUES in Cleveland (cap. 1,200), performing 6 sold-out shows there since January 2005 (+ 4 shows with SRO crowds), and also holds the "sell-out and attendance record" for over 30 sellouts since 1996 at the now-defunct Odeon Concert club (1,000 cap). The band has also set attendance records at Akron's Lock 3 Live Amphitheater (3,000+), Cuyahoga Fall's Rockin' On The River (10,000+), and recently the Warren Community Amphitheater (3,000+). These Northeast Ohio crowds voted WISH YOU WERE HERE as both "Best Live Act" and "Best Tribute/Cover Band" in the 2006 Scene Magazine Music Awards. .... In May of 2002, the band was chosen by Clear Channel Entertainment to headline the national FAKEFEST 2002 TOUR, which played to thousands of fans at outdoor sheds in 6 major markets across the Midwest, including Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh. Over 5,000 people saw the band's 2008 Florida tour, with enthusiastic crowds at the Delray Beach Garlic Festival and the Space Coast Convention Center. WISH YOU WERE HERE has also performed to capacity crowds in Columbus OH (L.C. Pavilion/Promowest & The Newport), Mansfield OH (Renaissance Theatre), Nelson Ledges Quarry Park, Canton OH (Palace Theatre), Cincinnati OH (Bogart's), Kalamazoo MI (State Theatre), Louisville KY, and throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, & New York at colleges, festivals and events.

Shows often include entire album performances, such as "Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish You Were Here", or "Animals", and the band has also staged unplugged and quadraphonic sound shows. WISH YOU WERE HERE has performed the Floydian masterpiece "The Wall" nine times in 4 cities, staging the most elaborate and authentic production of "The Wall" ever produced by an American Pink Floyd tribute act, which included the building (and tearing down) of a giant wall that spanned the width of the stage, set pieces, a children's choir, inflatables, and costumed characters.
