A shining example of architect John Eberson's renowned "atmospheric" style, (wherein domed, sky-painted ceilings and elegant interiors are meant to invoke a an outdoor, garden-like setting), the Uptown first opened its stately doors in 1928. Its meticulous restoration began in 1995, and a parade of different events, including concerts, weddings, graduations and galas have taken place since. When bigger (but not neccessarily mainstream) acts such as the Pixies or Slayer play Kansas City, it's usually going to be at the Uptown. The venue allows smoking, but only in the Nowhere Lounge, a space inside the building that acts as bar and welcome retreat from extra-packed, extra-loud shows.

Re: “Australian Pink Floyd”

This was my first time seeing The Australian Pink Floyd Show. Being a lifelong (read as fanatical) Pink Floydian, I was amazed at the Aussies' nearly album-perfect renditions of PF's time-honored classics. Their digital quadrophonic sound system, laser light show, impressive musical talent and some of the most incredible back up singers I've ever heard, made it a very enjoyable experience and a night to remember. It comes as no surprise why David Gilmore himself would say that they were the next best thing to an actual Pink Floyd show. What has two thumbs and had a great time? This guy, that's who. Of course, the VIP tickets didn't hurt, either.
