Pink Floyd reunion

and i hate to be the broken record, but let's not discount the fact that syd barrett laid the groundwork for the band, and that they used the template that he formed to build on. not to take anything away from waters, but i think people underestimate just how much of a mark syd left on the band, even after he left the band.

I think it's worth repeating at a stretch they might get 30 mins and 20 mins is more likely at this show so a DVD?

Barrett was Floyd at the start but I see Gilmour/Waters Floyd as basically a different band.

I agree with Ben_campbell. Floyd with or without Barrett is alot like a hotdog with mustard or a hotdog with mayo; two different hotdogs, altogether......"TWO DIFFERENT HOTDOGS." Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I don't understand what the fuss is all about. They've agreed to play a few old songs live for a day, that's it. No mention of recording new materials from anyone, yet. Nor do I see them recording together anytime soon. For one thing, Waters is not going to record anything for the sake of Pink Floyd at this stage of his life. I also don't see Gilmour being content with just playing guitar on an album like Clapton and Beck.

As much as I like to believe that Bob Geldof brought all this together, I'd think that the recent death of Floyd manager Steve O'Rourke made this re-union a lot easier, for Waters had unresolved issues, business and personal, with O'Rourke.

And yes, Wright never gets much credit for his work, i.e, when he did or was allowed to put in some work. Ever wondered how pink those early Floyd albums (befor Animals) would have been without Wright, or what he might have added to Amused to Death?

A rekindled interest in a tour would be fantastic! I only saw them twice, post Sid and with RW. The first time was at the release of DSOTM, at the Irvine Auditorium in Philadelphia, a round auditorium purpose built in the 20's to house a pipe organ, seating is about 1,100 I believe. The second set that night was DSOTM, a very memorable and colorful evening it was...
