David Gilmour and Roger Waters secret gig

[Spiritinthesky]

David Gilmour and Roger Waters played together at a secret gig in Oxfordshire, England last week  for the Hoping Foundation Benefit in front of just 200 people!

Could we have a Pink Floyd reunion?

Some pics on novelist and Floyd lyricist Polly Samson's site, looks like they were having fun.

bit late, but hey, it is great news of course.
Dave promised to play on Comfortably numb on a (still to be defined) show of RW'S upcoming "The Wall" tour, only to make sure that Roger would sing on a particular song this evening.
now that will be great!!

now that will be great!!

Sure, and tickets for this tour in the US are about $200 for anything decent. $200 per ticket to watch Roger Waters attempt to re-live his "glory days" and lip-sync to a show full of songs he wrote over 30 years ago. Thanks, but I'll pass...I'm sure there are plenty of people that will take my place though...

Uh, how can there be a Floyd reunion if Rick Wright is dead? 

The news that David and Roger performed together made me smile, though. I just wish they would have put their differences aside 10 years earlier.

They still have not. Roger have lost his anger against David and so they can share a stage for special event and did Live 8 before too late, as eric did with Cream and Stevie, and a thing that Mark is still reluctant to do, but until when?

So as it turns out, against my better judgment I caved and purchased tickets for the show on the 13th. Pottel, are you catching a show on this tour at all?

[Fletch]

Wow, what's next? The Knopfler brothers working on a duet album? 

[Hoops McCann]

Roger Waters still puts on a pretty good show. The surround sound was amazing! I wish more bands would do that. It would have been a lot better to see David Gilmour on top of the wall playing Comfortably Numb instead of the other guitarist, but that's life.

still hesitating about getting a ticket for his may show in the Esprit Arena here in D

[Pottel]

also, david is supposed to play Comfortably numb at one, still to be confirmed where, show this tour........

[Hoops McCann]

It's worth catching one show I think. I was hesitant too because of the ticket prices, but I'm glad I went. You don't have to be up front in the expensive seats to enjoy the show- I was pretty far back and the sound and view were still amazing. In fact, with this kind of show, it's better to be further back I think.

Oh, and I would never download a single thing from Keith Litzenberger. Don't even get me started.  
Besides, I made my own great recording of the same show.  

[Pottel]

care to share it with me dan?
what's up with wkl_taper?

The recording? Sure, I'll try to get it edited this weekend.

what's up with wkl_taper?

About a year ago, there was a fairly popular band that allowed open taping. They performed a series of shows and specifically asked that people not record them as they were planning an official release from those nights. Keith, knowing this, taped all of them and still uploaded them hours after each show on DIME and TTD. Band and management found out shortly after and were upset to say the least. They now have banned open taping at ALL of their shows....all because of his actions.

[Pottel]

ok, i see,...i thought it was a personal thing.
get it.
thanks for considering the up.
the tour sounds really great, and the vids look awesome too.

A Roger Waters shows worth every single dollar / euro / pound / whatever you spend on it, just the visual effects and the pristine sound he uses in his show it worths the price, and if he plays The Wall, that was only performed few times in 1980 with Pink Floyd, and in 1990 in Berlin when the wall was destroyed, well, actually its cheap!!!!
