The Machine has been called "America's Premiere Interpretation of Pink Floyd," and it is no wonder why. Anyone who has had the privilege to see them perform live can attest to their stunning level of musicianship and their flare for capturing the spirit and feeling of Pink Floyd.

The Machine started out in the bohemian village of Nyack, NY in 1987. Soon after the fans enthusiastically called for more Floyd, there was no turning back, and the Machine quickly developed a reputation for recreating the sound of vintage Pink Floyd, right down to the extended psychedelic jams. The Machine's live shows produce a remarkable sound thanks to both the virtuosity of the musicians, and a host of professional touring equipment. Keeping with the pace of stringent technological expectations of a Pink Floyd show, The Machine incorporated a sophisticated high-end automated lighting system to their current show. It's not uncommon to see a Machine light show featuring 11 Intellibeams and 6 Track Spots.

Since 1990, the Machine has played over one thousand shows to an estimated audience of over half a million people. In 1998 the Machine played their 1,000th live show at the Wetlands in New York City.
