Pink Floyd on Live 8
| Maruga 02.07.2005 18:38 |
I'm a Queen fan, but Pink Floyd was amazing on Live 8, i must say. I just finished to watch their performance, and it was incredible. I hope they'll be back soon playing. From Chile |
| Jjeroen 02.07.2005 18:49 |
That was great! Looked like at least Roger Waters had a good time... Fingers crossed for a full tour!! |
| vanush 02.07.2005 18:55 |
They sounded brilliant! Amazing solo on Comfortably numb |
| Simmen 02.07.2005 18:59 |
I almost fell asleep I must say... Sadly, I thought there would be more rock'n'roll... And there was to slow music. It all felt like same songs the whole bunch of the songs. I haven't and I really can't get into Pink Floyd. Sorry! But this is me. |

Superb, really good. Looked like they were having a lot of fun. |

Roger Waters has probably ever smiled so much in his life! That could bode well for a full blown reunion. I was half expecting Pink Floyd's set to go the way of Led Zep's at Live Aid, but they actually did really well. I liked the choice of songs (and the fact that they avoided the most obvious crowd pleaser) and they sounded fantastic too - Dave Gilmour's voice and guitar playing has gotten better with age. The video displays were also perfectly judged. Only Roger's bodged lead vocals on 'Wish you were here' spoiled things slightly. |

Pink Floyd were great! Would probably have swapped them with The Who though, more of a rocky finale. Waters looked to have a good time, but no contact from Dave Gilmour to Roger Waters, only a smile to Nick Mason. Roger sportingly got the band together at the end. Not sure if there will be a world tour to follow, wouldn't be suprised... |
| deleted user 02.07.2005 19:58 |
Great. Just great. i think together with The Who the best performances. But I pitty they didn't play ''Another Birck In The Wall'' on this ''legendary'' concert. |

In case of a full tour, they'll need Sir Bob Geldof on that tour (to come up a fight). From Chile. |

What was Floyd's full set? I know they did Numb & WYWH. MTV showed about 90 seconds of Numb then cut back to that stiff John Norris! Awful, awful, awful coverage by MTV & VH1! Really an embarrassment. I hope coverage was better in Europe. How was Velvet Revolver? |
| Jjeroen 03.07.2005 03:50 |
The Floyd set: -Speak to me/Breathe -Money -Wish You Were Here -Comfortably Numb The BBC showed every second of it ;-) Velvet Revolver? Well... what can I say... They are just not such a good live act, and proved that again at Live 8. Musically it was messy and Scott Weiland, who was obviously out by whatever drug he took this time, sang just dreadfull. Pitty... |
| bitesthedust 03.07.2005 04:54 |
I'm not familar with Pink Floyd to be honest but I was impressed by their performance. |
| Bob The Shrek 03.07.2005 06:03 |
Floyd were excellent, the only part of the show I really wanted to watch and it was worth the wait. |
| Jjeroen 03.07.2005 09:35 |
Well, with Waters standing at the drumriser, he and Mason definately had a moment there! I realy got the impression that Dave Gilmour is the one having a hard time with this reunion. The other ones seemed quite alright with the situation. Looked like Gilmour had a pretty hard time accepting Roger's arm at the end indeed... |
| Daburcor? 03.07.2005 10:10 |
I just finally saw this, And I'm speechless... |
| bohemian 11513 03.07.2005 11:09 |
They may hate or have hated each other but they re still blessed and gifted musicians... and it shows - they were great!!! Legends never die... |
| inu-liger 03.07.2005 11:29 |
Question: Did Roger sing ALL the tracks on the setlist? |
| bohemian 11513 03.07.2005 11:36 |
No... David and Roger shared vocals... just like they did when they recorded those songs all those years ago. |
| inu-liger 03.07.2005 12:17 |
OIC. Thanks. Also, seeing as I can't check it out at the moment (since this PC I'm on doesn't have speakers), is AOL now hosting the recorded stream videos from all the worldwide Live 8 performances? I want to see some of the performances of my favourite bands when I get home later tonight... |

From ChileGlad you enjoyed it. But why the need to introduce yourself as a Queen fan, as if it's a sin to like Floyd? It's okay to love more than one band, you know! As far as I'm concerned... Gilmour, suck it up. It was 22 years ago. Waters was having a blast. I was totally thrilled to see them together, even though the damn Canadian tv station only showed two songs. I still need to see Wish and Numb. |

Yea, Just go to the AOL page, you can see all of it, for the next 6 weeks. You can pick which bands you wanna watch too. |
| Gunpowder Gelatine 03.07.2005 16:50 |
They were amazing! I can't believe how great they sounded after not playing together for so many years. I wish they'd continue to put aside their differences and go on tour! |
| Mrs.Taylor 03.07.2005 17:28 |
I thought Pink Floyd totally rocked. They're fantastic musicians. |
| Sharron .G 03.07.2005 20:13 |
Can one of you bigger Floyd fans do me a favor? Can you tell me, on the original recordings of Floyds biggest hits....who sang?? Like who sang Money? Another Brick in the wall? Comfortably numb?..etc |
| Megamike The GREAT 03.07.2005 20:31 |
I just watched the Floyd set.. WOW... they were GREAT.. it was as if they had never had a day apart.. they were TIGHT as a band.. it was incredible.. I totally enjoyed it. here in the US the lousy station that showed this had a habit of cutting in as a song was in progress and out before the last one was over so I stopped watching it.. MTV and VH1 SUCKS!!!! |
| MexQueenFM 03.07.2005 22:09 |
Saw it, and loved it!! It was great to see them together, Waters really did seem to have a great time *crossing fingers for a tour* |
| Anto1 03.07.2005 22:14 |
I still cant believe how good they sounded. I waited all day for them. For me they made up for Queen not being there. |
| The Black Queen 03.07.2005 22:28 |
God it was fucking amazing. No words can describe. |

| Sharron .G 03.07.2005 23:40 |
What about other Floyd hits? I always assumed Gilmour sang everything. |
| The Black Queen 03.07.2005 23:41 |
Put it this way. Earlier Pink Floyd = Gilmour. 1977 or around there, and above = Waters. Post-1982 = Gilmour. |
| Adam Baboolal 04.07.2005 00:05 |
I caught the Pink Floyd stuff and was very impressed. I'm no fan, but when they played, their sound was great! And the tracks really had a certain mood that felt cool to me. Definitely high up there on my faves list. Peace, Adam. |
| wstüssyb 04.07.2005 00:27 |
Big Question now is, are they gonna tour? That alone would be the biggest tour of any year, Honest to make them a lot more richer then they thought they could be, I see sold out stadiums everywhere. |
| Rockyuk 04.07.2005 03:37 |
I love floyd, missed it cos I didnt want to watch all the other crap at live8, and didnt know what time floyd were on :( Why did they break up years ago? |
| tupincs 04.07.2005 05:16 |
They were the highlight. |
| Jjeroen 04.07.2005 07:03 |
Errr... actually Comfortably Numb is BOTH Gilmour and Waters! &amp;quot;Hello... is there anybody in there&amp;quot; = Waters &amp;quot;There is no pain...&amp;quot; = Gilmour On Live 8 voals where like this: -Speak to me/Breathe - Gilmour -Money - Gimour -Wish you were here - Gilmour with not-so-good second voice from Waters -Comfortably Numb - duet, usual roles Why they broke up? Well, round the time of Animals and The Wall (end 70's) Waters was taking over as the main songwriter of the band. After The Wall Waters did The Final Cut basically on his own (with just a little help from Gilmour for one vocal and two guitarsolo's. Richard Wright already got sacked). Second to that: mainly Gilmour and Waters hated eachother. Plus Waters was getting pretty paranoid and got fucked up by the whole situation and as a result started insulting and even spitting on people in the audience. Let's just say, there was a lot going on in his mind. (But listening to the albums is enough to proof that! ;-) After The Final Cut, Waters wanted to call it a day and announced the breakup of the band. Few years later Gilmour announced that he wanted to carry on with Mason and Wright under the Floyd-name. Waters dragged them to court over the name and lost. Both gone separate ways since that and had not even spoken to eachtoher untill recently. To me personally Floyd stopped after Waters left. Love all their work to death, but I just can not listen to the post-Waters albums... I get sooo bored and I cannot seem to listen to Gilmours voice for over an hour... Musically I've always been more of a Waters fan. (His Amused to Death album is a true masterpiece!) |

(His Amused to Death album is a true masterpiece!)Here with you I loved their performance... I saw Who and they were great, I kinda liked Razorlight but... when Floyds hit the stage that was it- the magic was in the air, they just showed EVERYBODY what it's all about- Robbie, Keane, Coldplay, Madonna- anyone- were put to shame by those guys... It wasn't just background music, some stupid radio hits- it was Music witha capital M. Incredible, and I was so happy they didn't do Another Brick In The Wall... There was only one thing I didn't like- the amount of time they were given... Another 20 minutes and Shine On You Crazy Diamond- would anyone complain? I must say I stopped watching when they finished- I switched of TV and put on WISH YOU WERE HERE on my hi-fi... After this performance thay should have switch on all the lights and finish the whole thing. Macca should have been BEFORE, not after... Incredible stuff- WHAT A YEAR! Pink Floyd together, Queen on tour with Paul Rodgers... If Led Zeppelin are gonna tour with some drummer I'll go crazy... |

As for them not being such a good live act - I saw them at donnington at the Download Festival last month, and on a bill of 150 bands, they were by far the tightest, most entertaining, and most musically fantastic. In my opinion, they're the best rock band out there at the moment |

The only thing I didn't like about the Pink Floyd set is that they didn't include 'Another Brick In The Wall' or 'Run Like Hell'. |

Anyway- it was sweet anyway :) ONLY 20 minutes but hey- if someone told me before that Gilmour and Waters are going to perform together as Pink Floyd I'd laugh in his face. |
| Mr.Jingles 06.07.2005 09:39 |
I know Fenderek, it was hard enough for me to belive the headline... 'PINK FLOYD RE-UNITING FOR LIVE 8'. ...and that because I was thinking it was going to be just Glimour, Wright, and Mason. Since Gilmour mentioned a couple of years ago that he wasn't particularly considering re-uniting Pink Floyd, and said he's had enough of it. Then when I read that Waters was joinging them, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. It was hard to believe that after all the feuds between Gilmour and Waters they decided to put the bad feelings aside. I guess that's just the power of great causes like this one. Now I'm really hoping that there might be a Pink Floyd re-union next year and go back on tour as a 4 member band. I don't know if that will happen, but I know for sure that after Live 8 concert promoters will be fighting and bringing offers by lots of millions to Pink Floyd to go on tour again. Even if they don't re-unite I'm happy for what they did in Live 8. Besides, next year 'The Wall' on Broadway will premiere and finally there will be a musical that I'm very looking forward to see, and I won't be thinking so much that spending more than $80 on a ticket might be worth it or not. |

Another thing about people being so amazed that Pink Floyd would reunite and..be so pleasant to one another during their performance at Live 8. Bob Geldof is not only very good friends with both David Gilmour and Roger Waters for many years now... ..But people forget that Bob Geldof played Pink in the film version of ''The Wall'' (which is how and when he became friends with them). ...Also...hmmmmmmmm..there was an interview with Geldof about a month and a half ago in one of the Brit mags, Q or Mojo, I forget...about how... ...Roger Waters personally asked Geldof to play Pink in the film..and Bob refused and called it.. ..sheer $*$&%$## (unprintable!)...So Roger kept asking Bob again and again, and Bob kept saying that he hated the whole idea of being an actor in a rock film, the whole Hollywood scene and that it was all $^%$% (unprintable!). ..BTW..LMFAO at Bob's recollection of this, curse words included!.. ...So...Roger Waters invited Bob for lunch, and on the limo ride over, they talked more....and Roger kept trying to give good reasons WHY Bob should play Pink, and Bob said all he and Roger did was curse at and lock horns with one another... ...but..Bob kiddingly said...THAT is what made him and Roger become Friends! (because they are so much alike!..... ..So..Bob and Roger became friends..and Bob took the acting role...and the rest as they say is history...now because that very friendship..helped sow the seeds for the Pink Floyd reunion for Live 8, and there you have it! |

I just saw Floyd's whole set, and it's perhaps the best concert appearance I've seen in years. Amazing stuff. They didn't miss a single note. |
| Lester Burnham 08.07.2005 14:01 |
I will have to download this when I get home from work, but for now I will listen to some Floyd on my iPod. I suppose that'll do... |
