I was surprised at how good they sounded. Roger's voice sounded like shit on Wish You Were Here, but then doing lead vocal was never his strong suit - why Dave sang most of the melodic songs.
Sounded like Roger or Nick fucked up the beginning of Money. The beat was off a tad. I was impressed. However, did you notice how little interaction there was between David and Roger? Roger seemed to be having a ball, Dave was doing his thing, but it seemed like they never even looked at each other And at the end of the set, Dave was wanting off that stage in a hurry, while Roger was saying "come back - they want to see us hug!" (not a real quote) Edit: PS from what I saw on the Fark thread, guess I'm lucky I was watching the AOL feed rather than MTV

I was watching MTV. They cut off the end of the last song into their stupid fucking VJs and then to a commercial. In the middle of the last song. GG MTV!

That was great man....wow....
I noticed the same thing about Roger and Dave. What the hell happened to have such acrimony after 24 years? I mean, I know Roger is an egomaniac and sued PF, etc...but hell...

I think that the AOL site is replaying all the concerts already, so check it out:
http://music.aol.com/live_8_concert/live_now The set list: Breathe + Breath Reprise Money Wish You Were Here Comfortably Numb I was glad that it was more or less just the 4 of them (with one extra guitarist, a sax on money, and one backup singer for Numb) instead of the Gilmour-esque 284 piece stage band. Too bad all these bands were stuck with just a 20 minute time slot. I would rather have seen less bands and longer sets. For example, London could have been an hour each of McCartney, Floyd, Elton John, U2, Coldplay and REM and that would have been great. I didn't need 2 songs each from the Scissor Sisters, The Killers and Joss Stone.

I was super impressed with the webcast quality. Full stereo sound and TV quality video. It's a shame I didn't have the software to record it. AOL must have had some house-sized servers running that webcast knowing that millions would be watching at that level of bandwidth.

they should have had london on one channel and the hyperactive band switching interrupted by airheads on the other. seems like most of the good performers were in london anyway, and the "live" atmosphere would have been preserved.
sorry i didn't post sooner, just got back in... here's an audio torrent (thread) for now from BBC radio: http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ead.php?t=8932 video: http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3351482 |

They were amazing; it was a special moment indeed. Being in my early 20's, I never had the opportunity to see the "whole" group together, and I was always disappointed to hear Roger would probably not play with Dave again. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to watch them, even it was on the television. I know it will give more substance to the next time I listen to one of their albums.

I finally got around to watching the tape from VH-1 in the US, and join those that were totally impressed by Pink Floyd, together again. After watching, I went back and read the UNCUT magazine from June 2003 about the 30th anniversary of DARK SIDE. The hard feelings running between Roger and both Dave and Richard were laid out for all to see. Yet, even then, there was a glimmer of hope--Nick Mason had reopened a dialogue with Roger, and he was still friendly enough with the other two (not buddy-buddy with Dave, but cordial enough to work together). I've not heard how the reunion took place, but I have a suggestion to make:
Nick Mason for Nobel Peace Prize for 2005. He may not really deserve it, but when you think about some of the other receipants over the years, he'd be more deserving than some like Jimmy Carter or Arafat. Start the petition someone, I'll sign it.

Interesting article. Somebody told me a rumor that Pink Floyd, in this incarnation, had been rehearsing for six months now, and it was just coincidental that Live8 came up - and provided a great opportunity to re-introduce themselves to the world. This article definitely proves otherwise, although I need to investigate this rumor more.
I wouldn't be surprised if a world tour was announced within a few weeks. They can charge $300 per ticket - easily.

This performance totally blew me away! I hadn't listened to Floyd for months and didn't actually get a chance to watch the show until today(thank God i finally did.) "Speak to Me/Breathe" got me excited, "Money" kept it up, and then "Wish You Were Here" started. It's not too often that I get emotional over music, but when Gilmour started playing I almost cried. The shots of the band playing interspersed with the crowd eating it up just threw me for a loop. When "Comfortably Numb" finished and the video stopped I sat staring at my screen laughing with the biggest grin on my face
