Just wait...Roger and Dave will bicker about something and the whole darn thing will be canceled...there are some constants in the world and this is one of them...sorry if I have no faith.

Nifty! I'll check on google.com to see if it's under "news"

All:

Actually, the official story is as follows.

In Fall 2005, "The Wall" will open on Broadway as a full-length musical.  This required that Waters and Gilmour "play nicely in the sandbox" so that all the legal and financial details could be worked out.  In having to "act nicely," Waters and Gilmour have "agreed to disagree" for the first time.  And while there still seems to be little love lost between them, they are talking (and apparently not solely through lawyers) for the first time as a result of the launching of "The Wall on Broadway."

In this regard, it was actually Gilmour who made an overture (no pun intended) to Waters about a "reunion" - which would basically amount to Waters going on tour with Floyd, if not worldwide then at least in major cities.

If - and it is still a big if - this tour is worked out, the tour itself would not start until after the opening of "The Wall on Broadway" - i.e., in 2006.  So, at the very earliest, Pink Floyd (with Roger Waters) would undertake a world tour in Spring or Summer of 2006.

I'll keep you informed of any further details I learn.  Oh, and how do I know all this?  All I can tell you is that I have an "in" on Gilmour's doings...

Peace.

Thanks maani, I do believe that tis time its not only "Wishful Thinking" from the fans, or just mere speculations. Some facts has to be taken in consideration; Many scars from the grim Waters departure after The Wall was finished could have healed now (others wont !) The (mis)management of "The Final Cut" and the battle in courts until 1989 about the "brand-name" Pink Floyd. These are just facts we know. ! Now due to the huge sucess of "In The Flesh" tour and DVD sales, it can only be right that both Waters and Gilmore sit and talk again, as they did in the "The Dark Side Of The Moon" (making of) DVD. Music deserves the return of Roger Waters with the ones that made them all rich and famous. Just one question; How does Richar Wright react to this !

An "in"? Elaborate, maani!

Sorry Maani, but according to Guy Pratt (PF's current bassist and Rick Wright's son-in-law)... Pink Floyd will never play together as a band again.  He told this to reporters last week at the opening of Storm Thorgenson's art exhibit in London which he attended with Nick Mason and Rick Wright.

Also Roger is scheduled to do a solo tour in 2006 of his own, which already has PP Arnold booked, from what I understand. This Roger stated recently on his interview with Q104.3 here in NYC.

So I more than anyone would love if this was true.. however, I just can't see it happening.

The Eagles of course said the same thing ("Never again"), hence the "Hell freezes over" title for their tour. Time is indeed a great healer, and money an even greater incentive!

Thanks for the info Maani, we'll just have to wait and see. I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen though.

All:

Re threefates' comment, don't forget that people have a vested interest in "misdirection" when large things are at stake.  All the denying in the world does not make it so...And dont' forget the old saw: "Never say never..."  There is more than a ring of truth to it...

Ultimately, Easy Livin is correct re money: it is the most critical incentive for almost anything - including burying hatchets and expediting legal details.  True, Pink Floyd does not need Waters) to make money (a lot of money) touring.  But the added "cachet" can easily drive the ticket price up, and people will pay it - gladly.  Thus, if Gilmour feels that having Waters join them for various dates (despite Waters' solo tour) will turn a $100 million tour into a $150 million tour - and if Waters gets a piece of that - you can bet that a "reunion" of sorts will occur - even if Waters and Gilmour have to "hold their noses" in order to appear on the same stage.

Peace.

I'd rather see the 3.. than with Roger.  Personally as long as David is playing guitar.. I don't care who else is there...

And Greg.. i have a video of David playing and singing last week at Wembley.. there is no way that he is past his prime!!

Man, I would LOVE it they got back together.

There's always hope.

Is it too late to insert the word 'if' into that last post?

My typing skills are not what they used to be

I got the following attachmentl today from the PF website "Fleeting Glimpse"

It's not going to happen.  People in Pink Floyd communities are laughing at this report.  It's not like this is the first time there's been a report that PF is reforming.
