PINK FLOYD REFORM FOR LIVE AID?

I know of the ITF incident you brought up, in 1999. My sources are from 2003. One is Rolling Stone, and the other is... I don't know, some German interview. Both took place for the DSOTM SACD release.

I knew you would cite RogerWatersOnline as your source denying that he attended, I have no idea why they did that. So a lot of sites took their word. But PFCO, who are in direct contact with David and company, confirmed that Roger was indeed there.

Back to the subject at hand, however.

Mr. Geldof has apparently said "over my dead body" about doing another live aid.

Shame, it would be good, would make so much more $$ and would likely be better sounding (the original had some seriously dubiuous sound mixes that were cleaned up in the DVD) and be better organized, since the original was very 'spur of the moment'.

Roger, is undoubtably a genious, but also a big head. That often comes with the territory of genius. Any PF reunion would COMPLETELY hinge on him. I am certain the others would do it in a heartbeat, because they have already opened themselves to him a bit. (Mason played with him, Rick met him, Dave invited him to play DSOTM live in '94) So I believe Mr. Waters has to shrug off the animosity himself. It seems unlikely but impossible, that pretty much concurs with what Nick Mason says in the final chapter of his new book. A great read, by the way.

My fave Floyd album:

Animals.

Then:

Any bootlleg of the '77 tour with Animals & Wish you were here played in there entireties with all the jamming in the songs! Wonderful.

Yeah, there will never be another PF. Hope they play together once more time at least.

Because Phil knows that Roger wasn't there.. thats why he did it...Uh... I spoke to quite a few people who attended that funeral.. and believe me Roger was not there.

Whatever sources you have, I've got a feeling mine are better... and I know that Rick in not on good terms with Roger.  Also at the opening for Storms art show in London months ago, Rick showed up and when someone asked about a reunion with Roger, Rick laughed and walked off... his son-in-law, Guy Pratt said "Never happen".

Gilmour said he'd need to take two years out of his life to record another Floyd album, and there wouldn't be a tour without an album.

Instead of giving in to all these rumors, it's more safe to say that The Floyd aren't going to get back together any time soon.

Floyd w/o Waters is a Gilmour solo act....and Waters w/o the Floyd is a nostalgia act.

Floyd is dead....long live the Floyd!

Hell wrong.  David Gilmour as solo goes in a complete different direction.  Listen to FLoyd w/out Gimlour and his solo efforts.  It is painfully obvious AMLOR & TDB are indeed PINKFLOYD ALBUMS.

 

How come none of you guys argue Floyd is dead w/out Syd?  Like it or not something of value was lost when Gilmour took over (not to say Gilmour didn't bring his own brilliance).
