Tribute Bands

Has anyone seen or heard any of the tribute bands around in the UK at the moment.
There was a Genesis tribute performing 'Lamb lies down' live here recently. Their flyer had quotes from Tony Banks who said they were pretty accurate.
There are also a few Pink Floyd bands around too.
Does anyone think it is worth paying cash to see tribute bands?

If it's the Musical Box...pay it - they're awesome (you will get big-time agreement on that).

I saw a Rush cover band called "Second Nature"...no longer together, about three times 15 years ago. They were awesome.

"Several Species" and "The Machine" are supposed to be pretty good - I've always missed them.

but I'm not in the UK....

The Musical Box is more than a tribute band. They do a fair job of reenacting a Genesis concert. I've seen TMB do Foxtrot, Selling England By The Pound, and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. As Rick said, they are awesome.

Thanx

Cheers for the info guys,

Yeah - I think the flyer I got was The music Box - but I think the gig has been and gone unfortunately.
I'll keep an eye out for them next time - I very nearly went this time but wasn't sure if it was worth the cash.

Talking

(Actually I quite like ABBA - sniggers sneakily into cup of tea hoping no one takes the last statement seriously)
