Have never stopped regretting missing them play live and whilst they are not the full band anymore, would be my gig of a lifetime, althought tickets might be scarce.....
 
hmmmmm

my understanding is waters said NEVER AGAIN after Live 8 ?

never really understood what the feud was about? or rather, why it lasted so long but there remains real animosity

like you, I would LOVE to see them - the only time I came close to seeing them was through a pair of binoculars on a hillside overlooking the Nou Camp during their eurotour in 1990 and that really doesn't count!
 
I have seen Australian Pink Floyd quite a few times and sound wise they are brilliant but you don't get that feeling that I'm sure the real Floyd would evoke in spades. Just watching on the big screen during live8 was incredible.

The full article makes it sound quite hopeful for a reunion of sorts for charity gigs. It would raise plenty of cash for sure.


Sadly (for me, not Waters!) tickets for his - The Wall tour next year are already hard to get, was slow off the blocks for that one.
 
When we flew out in September Nick Mason was sat behind us on the plane - on Ryanair for chrissake! Whats happened to the private jet?
I kind of half recognised him but couldn't put a name to him. The young couple sat next to him struck up a conversation. When they asked what he did for a living and he said "I'm a drummer", the penny dropped:!:
 
Gilmour and Mason joined Roger Waters onstage last night at the O2 arena.
They must at least be talking to each other...
 
I've heard that Gilmour was making good on a pledge he made at a charity concert last year that he would appear on stage with Waters again....who knows?
 
Waited for the Roger Waters gig for ages, we originally planned a London O2 visit but changed this to Manchester MEN arena, a fair decision as it turned out.

Quite simply this was the most remarkable event I have ever been to, furthermore I cannot imagine ever witnessing something like this ever again. The venue was excellent, we sat at the very top of the arena and chilled just watching the place fill up whilst talking to many random people from all over the country. Took to our proper seats approx 15 rows from the front, absolutely perfect position to see everthing that was about to unfold. From then on we were mesmerised for the next couple of hours. The visuals and props were remarkable, the performance by Waters was out of this world. The guy doing the Gilmour stuff was sensational. We spent some of the time stood up, it was difficult to remain seated at times. This lead to a conversation in a bar afterwards with a guy who came over and said he had videod the four of us stood up having the time of our lives:oops: He was going to send the video to us but we left before exchanging email addys, if you are reading (unlikely I know), would be good to get in touch.

There is another date on 28th June in Manchester, I could not recommend the show enough, it really is an amazing experience from start to finish.

I might go and see her then. I've just learned from the Aussie Floyd website that she has sung with such luminaries as Emma Bunton and G-G-Gareth G-G-Gates!:lol:

Waters, band and crew had a night off between O2 shows and held a private party at Under the Bridge (new live music venue under Stamford Bridge) when I was in London last Monday.

The band and crew spent much of the night jamming while Roger was wandering around rather inebriated. **bragging alert** Got to meet him briefly. :) He went on stage at the end to sing Wish You Were Here and Knocking on Heaven's Door.

Was very tempted to change my plane ticket and stay for Tuesday night's O2 show. Didn't do it, unfortunately. Probably should have gone when they were here last month. :confused:
