Pink Floyd Planning Syd Barrett Tribute Gig
According to new reports...

By: Daniel Melia on 7/31/2006 10:21:23 AM

Pink Floyd are said to be planning a reunion gig to honour the late great Syd Barrett who died recently.

The band played together for the first time in 25 years at last year’s Live 8 in London and now talk is of a special tribute gig for their former band member.

A friend of the band told the Daily Telegraph: "They didn't want to let Syd go without a huge send-off."

However, nothing is yet to be confirmed and earlier this month before Barrett’s death Nick Mason said that there were no plans for another reformation.

He said: “I think relations are much better, but I'm absolutely, sorry to say...I cannot announce the imminent arrival of another world tour. David (Gilmour) is busy with a solo project...(he) really has no interest in reviving the band."

"I have to say I'd love to do it, and Wright probably would and even Roger (Waters) is sort of more open to the idea. ut perhaps it's rather a good thing that just occasionally people won't do things for large sums of money."

"It's got to be done because people really want to and think they can do something better."

Which, obviously, translates as "There will be a massive show somewhere like Hyde Park that'll cost a shitload of money to get into and Roger Waters will walk off after half-an-hour because David Gilmour will refuse to play 'When The Tigers Broke Free".

Geez. Another reunion? What a big fucking publicity stunt I am so ashamed of the Floyd.

It's like the damn Rolling Stones.

Last tour ever my ass!

I believe it will happen!

We all believe.

Speak for yourself, missy.

That's what my card says.

It's the truth.

We've seen pigs fly. Who is the bravest of us to claim it will never happen now?

BDG is still the biggest obstacle, it seems.

You weren't alive last July, 2005? You didn't hear or haven't yet seen the recording of Pink Floyd (MK II) at Live 8? You haven't read the reviews of APFFNers who were there or (like me, sadly) who watched it broadcast Live?

Pigs flew then, mate, in formation.

AnimalInTheWall · #13 08-01-2006, 03:27 PM

That was a good show.

Aneurysm · #14 08-01-2006, 03:29 PM

Actually, I honesty haven't. I just don't care all that much.

You can't fool me.
