I hate to say it, folks, but I wouldn't get my expectations too high for the show.
This won't be a Floyd show in the true sense - I doubt there will be lots of visuals or flying pigs (with or without a penis - Floyd trivia freaks get this reference). I imagine it will be just the band getting out there, playing a 45 minute set or so with a bunch of hits, and then never to be seen again.
Also, note that they will not have had much time to practice, so it will be pretty much by the numbers.
Totally guessed partial set list:
Another Brick in the Wall (We don't need no education)
Money
Wish You Were Here
Comfortably Numb (b/c Gilmour will insist)
One of these Days (b/c Roger will want a bass moment and it's a crowd pleaser)
Also possible:
Have a Cigar and/or Welcome to the Machine
Pigs on the Wing
(something else from Dark Side, but who knows what?)
Pigs, Dogs or Sheep (from Animals) (My guess is "Pigs" b/c Roger will want to sing the "Hey you, white house, haha... charade you are" line)
(something else from the Wall, but which?)
Slightly possible
The Tide Is Turning (Roger solo stuff, so a touchy point, but an awfully good song, and very appropriate to the event)
Something from the early material - Set the Controls, perhaps?
one of those new, awful Roger songs about Iraq
Never gonna happen:
Anything from Final Cut
Anything from The Division Bell (well, maybe that one that rips off "Wish You Were Here" and has the "he told to please go fuck myself" line, b/c Roger and Dave might think that was funny)
Anything from A Momentary Lapse of Reason
