Gotta figure (due to time constraints) that the boys from Cambridge will only play a 3-4 song set for the Live 8 concert. I'd wish for: 1) Shine On 2) Poles Apart 3) Fearless 4) Echoes  But somehow I'm thinking we are going to see a 'most-popular' set consisting of: 1) Money (somewhat appropriate due to the concert's target audience) 2) Wish You Were Here 3) Another Brick 2 4) Comfortably Numb With maybe 'Time', 'Hey You' or 'Run Like Hell' thrown in for good measure. What are your requests? ------------- Marmalade...I like marmalade. |

I'm *hoping* that Waters' presence is conditional on the best stuff
being played. The could've gotten together to do the most popular
without him.

Got a feeling that Mr Waters might insist on "Tide Is Turning" 1.Money

They'll probably choose the crappy pop songs out of everything Floyd has done... -------------

^ I'm hoping for Dogs too... but highly doubt they'll play it. Personally I would be just happy seeing Comfortably Numb done again with Roger doing the verses and Dave the chorus... just like old times... and maybe Roger will remember what its like playing with a real guitarist... ------------- THIS IS ELP

I read the news today in netscape.com that PinK Floyd with Waters is going to play in Live 8. I couldn`t believe it. I don`t know if they are going to have backing musicians too. I think that they are going to play: Money and Comfortably Numb. But it could be possible that they are going to play an "acoustic set", with Waters and Gilmour on acoustic guitars, Wright on piano and Mason on bongos. The songs: Wish You Were Here, Seamus (with Syd Barrett`s or Nick Mason`s dogs "singing" backing barks) and San Tropez. But it is good that they can forget their problems from the past to play together for charity reasons. ------------- Avatar: Photo of Solar Eclipse, Mexico City, July 1991. A great experience to see. Maybe once in a lifetime. |

I would love just to see them perform Shine On in its entirety: that is, including Dick Perry's sax solo, and Rick Wright's keyboard bit at the end. Maybe they could do Astronomy Domine in between parts 5 and 6. However, I don't think that they will end up doing this. Another Brick pt2 is almost garranteed, but if they do pt1 and Happiest Days too, I would be happy. If they add an organ solo like in the version from Is There Anybody Out There? I would be very happy! Money is another I would bet money on . Sorry. Comfortably Numb is one of my favorites anyhow, so if they play this one, I would be pleased. -------------

With time constraints to consider, I'm betting on: 1) Money 2) Another Brick In The Wall (pt. 2 only) 3) Comfortably Numb
A few mild surprises would be: Wish You Were Here Not Now John Eclipse Mother
A few big surprises would be: Bike Candy And A Currant Bun Goodbye Cruel World
...regardless, I'll be sure to have the DVR set. |

Hear we go: Roger's Contribution: 1) "I'm Sorry I Had to Be an A**hole, thinking that I Owned Pink Floyd and It's Name (Pts 1-5)" Dave's Contribution: 2) "I'm Sorry I Had to Revive Pink Floyd Only to Make S**tty, Half-Baked, Neo-pop Without Soul" Richard's Contribution: 3) "I'm Sorry I did a Bastard-load of Coke and Pissed our Major Songwriter Off, Subsquently Causing Him to Convince the Other Members of the Band to Mutually Fire Me (Reprise)" Nick's Contribution: 4) "If I Don't get to Play More Intricate and Complicated Drum Parts This Time, I Will Light the F**king Live 8 Stage on Fire" I'm beginning to like the idea of a covers show more and more... ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

Stonebeard could be on to something. The only sticking points I see are: a) Roger would only get to Part 3 before their allotted time was up. b) Nick could insist on playing his song first |

Hi guys, Probably they will play at maximum 4 short most popular songs (like: Brick 2, Wish, Confortably, Time or Money) But lets hope they will try to understand each other, and begin to plan a (maybe) Farewel Tour. It will be GREAT Best greetings

Have you heard High Hopes? honestly.... but enough of that... Id like to hear Dogs, Fearless(Id say High Hopes, but I doubt it with Roger Back), Saucerfull Of Secrets, and Echoes not going to happen though |

Date Posted: June 14 2005 at 00:04
yes i have heard high hopes and i enjoy it very much, but i'm paraphrasing. almost anyone will agree that reviving the Floyd, save for a few good songs, was probably not worth tarnishing the Floyd's previous nearly flawless repritoire.

I happen to know about 300 or more people on a few PF fan sites that would totally disagree with you.. and I'm one of them. I personally think TDB is Floyds 3rd best album... and that guitar beginning to 'Coming Back to Life' is one of the most beautiful moments in music history. And the 'without soul' statement is about as lame as they come. Dave has never played anything in his life.. without soul... give me a break! ------------- THIS IS ELP

what about "seamus"? or "the narrow way" (like 'em both, but devoid of much "soul") they have their moments, but overall, they cannot compare, as is the case with "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" which is my main concern. To be honest I haven't heard "Division Bell," and i am not railing against that album. If MLOR you love, then that's for you and that's cool. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

It will probably go like this... 01. "Wish You Were Here" Although I'd loved to be proven wrong. I'm really really hoping they'll do some Animals... Roger has never performed "Sheep" solo, and the band rehearsed it for the AMLOR Tour before dropping it last minute... and it's the shortest of the three main songs... so I hope they'll seriously consider it. |

Division Bell/Momentary Lapse of Reason may not be played at all with Roger's presence they could but very unlikely. Songs from DSOTM and WYWH and TW are very likely to be played.

dogs and pigs, the long versions of almost 20 minutes. Or Atom heart mother. But I would be very happy when they don't bash each-others heads in, and planning a new tour would be great ------------- Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream |

I'd like to se some stuff from AMLOR and Division Bell performed with Waters. Also it'll be interesting to see if they do any Final Cut songs live for the first time. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/kingofbizzare/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

To tell you all the truth, I don't think it is important what they will play, it's important That they play. (hope they don't get in to another fight For me it's the first chance I have to see them the way they are supposed to be, live with Roger Waters, I've only seen the division Bell concert in Rotterdam. And I'm diying to see Roger in Action after all those years. Maybe they will notice that they don't dislike eachother as much as they think, and will start to tour again (I know, wishfull thinking Rebecca

OK, guys, let's stop wondering. I can tell you which tunes they will play. Only these three: "Breathe", "Comfortably Numb" and "Wish You Were Here". So it seems like Waters will be there just to play the bass.... It won't be a bad set after all |
Posted By: threefates
Date Posted: July 02 2005 at 02:58

Now most of the show lists are showing the three songs as "Money", "Comfortably Numb" and "Wish You Were Here" Also... you gotta love this:
I say Dave's wife, Polly, is looking really good after 4 kids... we should all be so lucky! ------------- THIS IS ELP

I would say it will open up with Breathe, then Money. Then Roger Waters will get sentimental before playing Wish You Were Here and they'll finish up the set with Comfortably Numb.

Hi Everyone, New to this board but I have to jump in here. I would like to have seen them do at least one song from every album. Here would be my choices (though not in this order): 1)Astronomy Domine 2)Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun 3)Cymbaline 4)Fat Old Sun 5)Grantchester Meadows 6)Echoes 7)Wot's Uh...the Deal 8)Time 9)Have A Cigar 10)Pigs (Three Different Ones) 11)Comfortably Numb 12)The Fletcher Memorial Home 13)Learning To Fly 14)Keep Talking

I think we all would have liked to see a live 8 concert with Pink Floyd as the only artist.... but as though it has been such a looooonnnnngggg time ago, I think we should be happie with just that what they gave us, and that's more then the last ten years! |
