They rocked! 
Great show, would rock even more if it was longer though...
btw, NRK(the norwegian channel I watched it on) did NOT interupt with commercials of anything like that.

Nah, Nick was Nick. The Floyd's music isn't about crazy time signatures. Nick doesn't standout, but he's never been "crap".

Excellent show, an hour or two more would have been nice tho.
Roger really looked like he was enjoying himself up there, it was great
to see. I hope this means the band is on good terms, because they
looked as if they were getting along.
I was watching the internet broadcast, and in the middle of comfortably
numb it came on the tv, so i started watching that..AND THEY CUT OUT
AFTER MONEY! Only an american tv network would cut a god damn FLOYD
REUNION half short. That really chapped my ass. I hope i can find the
video because i want to see the rest of comfortably numb.

What a fantastic show they gave to us. When they played Money, I was shocked. That song was not on the playlist for the show.

Roger said how it was quite emotional to be on a stage with 'these
three guys' (arm motion to the rest of the band) and dedicated the song
to all the people who could not be there but 'especially Syd'.
Lump in the throat time for me....

He said something to the effect of, they are playing this song for all tht people that aren't here, but esp. for Syd.
At least thats what i got.

Except the laid back "interlude" in Money ... but on the whole, they were all amazing.

Ok ... that was the most incredible thing I've ever seen... well close enough.. and Dave was not only singing great.. but playing exceptional. Roger looked like he was having the time of his life... but what was up with them not showing Rick at all????
I'm crying as I type.. I had chill bumps all the way thru, but if I could blow up MTV I would right now.. because their frigging vjs came on to tell a stupid story right in the middle of Comfortably Numb and then cut out to a commercial right in the middle of David's solo.... that is absolutely unforgiveable!!!!!!!!
I hope someone gets this as a download soon so I can see the rest of it!!!!

Dear TF, I make your words mine, allthough we were lucky here in Brazil since we got an uncut and pretty clean image and sound during the whole performance...and what a performance ! ! ! Pink Foyd is Sheer MAGIC ! ! !

Fantastic performance - until Roger started to "sing"... from then on, it was just great.
They all looked like they were enjoying working together again - and the overall sound can't lie; they rocked!
I thought Razorlight and Keane were excellent too - and Madonna was surprisingly good.
Mariah was as good as we might all expect - and Robbie was surprisingly awful, even given that he's a talentless t**ser.
The Who rocked - but I think Razorlight stole some of their thunder.
Great event!
