| Does anybody know what time Pink Floyd will be performing at Live 8? I'm asking this because they're the only must-see for me, and while there are others who I don't might watching, there are some who I really would prefer not to have to sit through. |

From what I heard from a pretty reliable source, they are the last but one band to play at live8, so it will be pretty late. They are going to play only 3 songs - Breathe, Comfortably numb and Wish you were here. |

As a follow-up, I've come across something that says the London show
will finish at 9:30pm local time (which I think is 8:30 GMT), with Pink
Floyd and Paul McCartney being the final two acts, in that order.
That means that Floyd should start somewhere around 9:00.
However, I make no claims as to the accuracy of information. It's an intersting choice of songs. Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here I'm not surprised about, but Breathe seems a slightly odd choice. I would have expected Money or Another Brick Part 2 in its place. On the other hand, Breathe is a short song, so maybe we're getting an extended version of Comfortably Numb. |

I heard that they are playing a 4 song set with Shine on You Crazy Diamond in the mix. -------------

I used to own every lp on vinyl. I don't anymore. It kind of makes me want to go out to the store and spend a couple hundred dollars on their cds. |

Sat up all night watching the livecast here in New Zealand. Started at 1.00am and finished at 11.00am today (Sunday). I had the feeling that Pink Floyd would be one of the last two groups to come on stage. and WOW!!! - Just amazing. Worth sitting up all night to see them play together and I am sure I caught Roger grinning a few times. Great choice of music for their set - Breathe; Money, Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb - oh how I wished they would keep on playing - they sounded so good together. I wonder if this was really a one off or whether they will perhaps do one more recording or tour together!!  -------------
