Pink Floyd Performance at Live 8

NICK MASON revealed how the band 'eyeballed each other' as they prepared for their first gig in 24 years 'in a slightly alarming way' but compared the reunion to 'riding a bike'. DAVE GILMOUR, meanwhile, said it was 'a bit like sleeping with your ex-wife'. Both ruled out any further reunions.

I guess that was it....

Come on. Did you both listen or sing? Make up your mind.

And you can make up your bloody mind too, misery-guts.

I still think it's amusing that Geldof did this. He hates Floyd music.

WHAT? Sleeping with your ex-wife can't be all that bad, surely?

wow. When MTV cut to the vj's I ran upstairs where I had the AOL feed running, and since it was on delay I didn't miss anything. Great performance, great to see the band back together even if for the last time.

I noticed it has been exactly one year since I've been on this forum.

David did so smile at Roger at one point. When Roger began to sing, and i can't remember which song it was now, but David looked over at him and smiled.

If you got it recorded go have a look. I definitely did not detect David being tense or anything. He did look like he was concentrating pretty hard, as if he was trying to make sure that he could still play the notes after all these years.


As far as them ruling out further reunions, that is depressing. They seemed to get along so well on that stage. I really hope it doesn't end here. It's a good note to end on, but this was my first taste of Floyd live....and I perhaps selfishly thirst for more.

woah... a bit late on this, I just got back from London.. friend had a spare ticket hyde park.. yus! That was truly the best anything ever. I haven't been able to get PF out my head since

Everwhere I go and mention the live8-concert, everybody (I like anyway) is talking about the Floyd reunion. I totally disagree with people who think this is a good way to end it all. That it will end one day? Sure, I kow mathematics as well.

This should be the beginning of something like a worldwide farewell-tour. So everybody got a chance to do tribute to the greatest musicians and performers ever.

Yeah right, I'm sentimental. That's probably because I watched the AOL-feed for the 10th time I guess. Can't get enough of it. Especially the moment when Nick is throwing of his headphone, just before David start his solo on CN. A couple of moments later, you can see him in almost pure pleasure listening to his own selfperformed music with his eyes closed. What more do we want to see.......

Fill in the blanks, boys and girls......

A farewell tour with Roger does indeed seem more than reasonable for a band like Floyd, instead of a set of 4 songs. But ah well at least we got SOMETHING.

Like a true drummer.... loses the headphones!!! (TheUnabeefer <-- drummer) Honestly, they just get in the way.

Anyways, I would love even jsut a small, laid back, scaled down, simple tour.... of maybe a few major cities.... or they can just play in every bar they can find. I am sure no one would have anything against an impromtu show at some random bar!!!

... maybe if Floyd don't reunite for a tour we can get a runion of "The Fishermen" at least

One of the biggest newspapers in Norway reported today that Pink Floyd is donating all the extra money they earned on the show. CD sale etc.

It wouldn't have mattered anyway geezer cos the times got so messed up
but hope ya got to see it cos they were awesome, but unfortunately had to leave b4
"Comfortably Numb"
"Wish You Were Here"just about summed it up!
