Pink Floyd Re-unites

From David Gilmour on Pink Floyd’s website:
Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world. It’s crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations. Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then it’s got to be worthwhile.

It was confirmed today that Roger Waters will join Pink Floyd to perform at the Live8 concert in Hyde Park on 2nd July.
It’s been 10 years since their last tour, and nearly 25 years since Roger Waters left the band. I’m not in shock over them playing Live 8, I’m in shock that they’re playing anywhere at all! And as a full band!
technorati tag: Pink Floyd, Live 8
Yea, I didn’t think I would ever see them on the same stage in my lifetime! Although there was much press as to the significance of this event, their performance and coverage left me wanting more! I hope this means that they will do something together again in the future, now that Waters is done with his operah.
