David Gilmour and Roger waters just played together for the Hoping Foundation Benefit Evening, on the 10th of July. This took place at Kiddington Hall, Oxfordshire. Guy Pratt and Harry Waters were part of the band too. They played: To Know Him Is To Love Him, Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, and Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2).
I hope to read more news about how this came to happen, and what's the opinions of both Gilmour and Waters about the evening. I hope they may end up playing again some time in the (not too distant) future. |

We can only hope...
if they released this set on DVD surely they could sell quiet a bit, and it could go to the fund-raising. |

However, I believe it's very unlikely we'll see such a DVD.

Wow. I never thought they'd ever even speak to each other let alone play together.

This is actually a promo shot of a new Richard Gere movie titled "The Geezer With the Daddy Issues." |

He's a deplorable human being that fronts a boring mediocre band. Ho-hum.

I did chuckle at this at first - I was especially amused by the earlier comparison to Richard Gere, but to post this in a thread about Gilmour & Waters - which would only be of interest to fans of Waters - is obviously trolling. And the mission of the troll is accomplished - 5 posts in this thread so far are about Gilmour & Waters, and 5 posts about WalterDigsTunes (thanks to the indulgence I type now). Well done, Walter! You've got the attention you wanted! Edited by jplanet - July 12 2010 at 03:08 |

What is so very different from this performance, after viewing many photos from the day's events, as compared to Live 8, is the huge increase in genuine smiles. David is smiling for real this time, there's even a shot of them laughing over dinner with their wives. That wasn't the case at 8, where Gilmour looked like he was having a root canal.
I hope they don't reunite though. Some dogs, pigs, and sheep are best left to the days of their youth. I'm not into 65 year olds cashing in on the memories, whether they be Stones, Floyds, or the Who. It's over, let the legacies have some honor guys. Just put out the real damn Wall DVD from Earl's Court and let us enjoy some real Floyd! Edited by Finnforest - July 13 2010 at 22:07 |

They both look like they are genuinely enjoying themselves on these images (thanks for posting all). Whilst I don't think they would ever tour together again, at least they both look comfortable in each others presence again, which is something.

That's awesome. Although I wonder if they had to come in separate limos and have separate dressing rooms and separate groupies or something... It's doubtful that they'll want to work together again, but you never know!

I just read a description Roger Waters did on FaceBook about this reunion. It was in fact Gilmour who called or wrote Roger about doing it, and he sugested the song "To know him is to love him", and then they chose "Wish you Were Here" and "Comfortably Numb". Then Roger started panicking about not being able to sing "To know him..." well, because it was out of his range and he would have to practice a lot, etc, and he thought surely Gilmour would do a better job by himself, so Roger told Gilmour he should do that song alone, and then he (Roger) could join him on the other two songs. However, Gilmour insisted on doing this song with Waters, and just told him if he (Roger) sang on "To know him... ", then Gilmour would join Waters on one of his Wall shows to play on "Comfrotably Numb"... and so far that's the agreement (Waters said he just couldn't refuse that offer), but Gilmour hasn't yet decided on which show he'll appear.
