Apparently this gig will be commercially released as a DVD before the end of the year....
 
 
 
 
 
If they could include their Live 8 reunion gig in it.... it would be awesome....

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

This is the exact quote from Roger's Facebook:

Quote Some weeks passed with David cajoling me from time to time, telling me how easy it would be, but I clung resolutely to my fear of failure until one day he made one final entreaty. I quote “If you do ‘To Know Him Is To Love Him’ for The Hoping Foundation Gig, I’ll come and do ‘C. Numb’ on one of your Wall shows”. Well! You could have knocked me down with a feather. How f**king cool! I was blown away. How could I refuse such an offer. I couldn’t, there was no way. Generosity trumped fear. And so explaining that I would probably be sh*te, but if he didn’t mind I didn’t, I agreed and the rest is history. We did it, and it was f**king great. End of story. Or possibly beginning.


(the highlighting is mine)

And a video:

However, Gilmour insisted on doing this song with Waters, and just told him if he (Roger) sang on "To know him...

Wow, thanks for the info! Back to the OP, it's really nice to see those two back on those stage, enjoying themselves. I was always living in the illusion that they wanted each other dead.
Trendsetter win!

The search for nonexistent perfection.

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!

They both look like they are genuinely enjoying themselves on these images (thanks for posting allClap). 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.

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!

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!

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