OH...well, they did that just to screw up our recordings so we'd buy the DVD.

 

 

Yea I noticed that, but hey, still, you get the full 20-30 minute playing :)

 

I can't wait....11 more hours till I get off work, good to hear I'll see the majority of it...thnks for the good news King!

Nick Mason's drumming today was superb, and was one of the highlights of the gig, crisp, clear and simple.

I was thinking the same thing man, maybe after watching floyd, genesis and other bands will decide to reunite.










Yeah, right.

I've always wondered what would have become of genesis if peter would have stayed... I guess everyone does... but just think of how sick a genesis reunion would be, I get the chills just thinking about it.

I watched it live on the glorious Beeb, then switched over to Nederlands 3 who were broadcasting the whole thing with a 15 minute delay, and got to see most of it again.

A really historical moment in prog... now if only Gabriel could have got it together with Hackett, and the other three t**sers.......

I saw it accidently live from Finnish tv-network, and it was great! Sadly Syd wasn't with them...  

The Who was also truly great, and "Helter skelter" was a great performance!

absolutely fantastic performance. Saw it in a bar on a big screen.

Funny thing was that during other bands people kept talking etc..
But when Pink Floyd came an eery silence fell over the whole bar and everybody was watching/listening, amazing !

Now I want more Live floyd, what live album do you guys recommend  ?

So much said already, but I wanna say my bit! I have to say, after having experienced some terrible bootlegs and being unimpressed that recent shows have augmented the band with enough 'safe' musicians to cover up the originals I was expecting an emotional if averagely musical performance. What can I say? Fabulous, impressive, inspiring and wonderful. I recorded this (hey, mask off finally, I was playing a Pink Floyd open-air show myself which finished minutes before the real thing walked on stage at Hyde Park) and watched the video this morning. Yep I scrutinised carefully and this band were playing and singing for real. And the musicianship was the best I've ever heard them live since the Pompeii period. OK there was a click track for Com Num giving us the orchestration (just like the old Wall shows!) and I heard ONE drumfill from Mason which contained more tom hits than I heard (maybe a second drummer hidden or a couple of fills on the backing track) but hats off, these guys were PLAYING! TOGETHER! STRIPPED DOWN! And it was a significant moment being made in rock history. Brilliant - now lets get the "Pink Floyd - No Frills" major world tour going!
