I heard something about Pink Floyd being reunited for the Live 8 concert? Did anyone get to see this? Driving my 914 with Pink Floyd brings back some memories. Can we expect an album?

Roger Waters did re-join for the Live8; co-worker saw some of their concert on MTV or something - said it was awsome.
We can but hope this means a reunion and a tour........ |

I think they'll do an album. Hopefully something like "Animals"
Their show for "live8" was great! Like they never stopped playing. |

Oh so true. When my car had a stereo the glovebox contained 3 awesome bootleg recordings of PF concerts from late 60's and early 70's.

Didn't see it live on TV, but saw replays of it, not bad. Roger Waters and David GIlmour are showing their age. I seriously doubt an album would come out of it.

Pink Floyd is one of my favorite groups. I saw them live in 1968 at a small college campus in Cleveland and have been a fan ever since. The film Live at Pompeii is unbelievable.
Having said that, I thought Roger Waters voice sounded pretty bad on the one Live 8 song I heard. I really doubt we'll ever get a new Floyd album with Roger Waters. I wouldn't bet against a few select concert dates, but I don't think they mended the fences enough to do an album. |

I saw the Wall concert in LA, it was fantastic. I heard that they were only going to get something like ten minutes (Two Songs) at the Live 8 show. Also heard that they are going to do a limited amount of concerts this year. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Yeah. If Water's voice matched his ego, it would be great. Never could handle his solo stuff. ( Remember "Pros and cons of hitchiking"?) I think he and Floyd both were better off with eachother. Gilmour sounded pretty good though. Andrew |

Bet you guys didn't know that the old drummer for Floyd owned a Jake engine, did ya??
I sold a 2500 to a guy building a 356 Panamerica replica for him a few years ago. I don't know if he ever raced it or not- never heard from him again. He raced in the La Carrera Panamerica back in the 90s in an old Jag replica and one of my other customers in Atlanta owns that very car with his name right on the driver's side.... |

Just heard live8 bootleg CD's were available on Ebay, but have been pulled off. The Pink Floyd performance was shown on both MTV and VH1. Did you also catch The Who and McCartney.

The Animals tour in the late 70's was the best visual concert I've ever seen...despite the chemical enhancement. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

By Dave's comment about America, I wonder if Dave Gilmour knows that President Bush granted more aid to Africa than any other president in our history.
I generally liked Roger's solo work, although it did have some weak points. He is just so far left, that it is hard to tolerate some of the songs on "Amused to Death". And he has gotten worse: On his website are a couple of MP3's of some new songs he is working on: If I remember correctly, one of them has lyrics like "that Texas education must have f**ked you up real good", in reference to G.W. Bush. Anyway, I don't want to turn this thread political, so let me just say I like the band, but they were better when Roger's lyrics weren't so direct. And, Pink Floyd without R. Waters is lacking as well, no depth to the lyrics. |

well this won't be political so it should pass the litmus test.
every time some some rocker, or movie star that lives in a castle, has other homes around the world, private jets, has an official residence in a tax friendly country, and starts spouting off about how WE need to do more for the world i want to (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) . let them divest themselves of their worldly goods, move to the suburbs, drive a kia, and do their own laundry. water's radio waves was pretty good. k |

I generally agree...but Bob Geldof, Bono, and a few others REALLY walk the walk. I read that Bono has donated more tha any single person to the cause over the last 4-5 years. I guess he lives off of the money he's had, and has given almost 100% of whatever he's made on the last 3 albums to his work in Africa.
I've been studying this a lot of late...mostly because of my curiosity from the Live 8 concerts. There is a *LOT* more than can be done. I could give 2 shits what W has donated in the past, there needs to be more done. We are still behind juggernaut countries like Sweden, Australia, and Italy in aid money. The US promised 100mil to the cause in the last 6 years. That's pathetic if you ask me. But it's not just out job, the other leaders need to step up to the plate as well. this problem is SO solvable...makes a lot of the other BS we bicker about so trivial. Couple of other quick stats and I'll get off my soap box. It costs $20US to send an african student to school for 1 year with uniform. That student will be VERY likely to have a 100% attendance record, and go on to secondary education like college. A 1yr supply of the HIV drugs that student (or adult) needs is $50. They have nearly 100% success with the person taking the medication correctly. In the US, the same drugs cost over $200 a month, and the failure rate on taking the drugs is lower than 60%. ok, back to work... |

if anyone hasn't done so, i suggest you read COLLAPSE by Jared Diamond. it helped me see the issues in countries like Sudan and other ones with great clarity. the documented failures and the future of impending doom is not very heartening.
do you think when someone such as angelina jolie goes to africa to enlighten us to the plight of the of the people, she drinks river water and sleeps without the benefit insect netting? i think not. nor does geldorf live on the dole in a dublin squat. k k |

I read somewhere that each "artist" performing at the Live 8 concert recieved a $12,000 care package. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
