pink floyd made alll the other bands at live 8 look like 3rd rate acts saturday/they played breath,money,and comfortably numb.and looked like they never quit playing together.stevie wonder,and the who were good too!

quit playing? i thought they quit breathing years ago!

Bands like Pink Floyd and The Who reinforce my opinion that class never goes out of style.

We wanted more Stereophonics.

Nope - I thought Paul Mcartney and U2 absoloubtly owned in the opening.

Pink were good, but there was too much hype and they couldn't pull through for it.

Rebroadcasts here online of all concerts

I just want to see madonna and Pink Floyd though so i wish they made them separate.

i thought madonna performed great too,pink floyd just blew everyone else away!

I didn't know what the site was to watch the concert , nor I knew that the show was going to be on MTV

whew hoo! score 1 for Floyd!

It was great to see Pink Floyd on stage, together again. Considering some of the animosity between Gilmore and Waters, the opposite directions the band was pulled in back in the day, it's no wonder that Live 8 was the first show since 1994 with both geniuses on stage.

The body language between them is still very tense...so i guess no world tour ...YET
fLOYD WERE BRILLIANT ....They also played wish you were here BTW !
Daltrey and Townsend rocked the house ,best i've ever seen them.
Highlights for me ?....The WHO and Floyd

I only put it on for The Who and Floyd

I'd have preferred the Who to have played all 3 CSI themes songs though

As for Floyd. A great moment in music history And what a line up of support acts they had for their reunion gig

(PS who was that wally wot came on the stage after the concert and tried singing some boring old Beatles songs? Should have been chucked off and we could have had Shine on and Another Brick in the Wall to finish the day with

*slow reply*

Floyd were awesome, great to see them back on stage. It was emotional when Gilmour and Waters hugged. I was trying not to weep.

So I heard that the Floyd bandmembers got in such a row after the concert that they are off speaking terms again. Has anyone else heard that? I mean, not like I am surprised...

I'm really bummed I missed the event... I LOVE pink floyd... they were and are such an inspiration to so many great bands out there! (plus they REALLY rock when ou are stoned )

Um, the last time Gilmour and Waters played live together was in 1981 at Lodon's Earl's Court at the end of The Wall Tour. The last time Gilmour played with Mason and Wright as Pink Floyd was in 1996 during the P.U.L.S.E. Tour.

I hope they make a new album, but that probably won't happen, because Waters is knee deep in making an album already.

i downloade the sets by floyd,the who,and u2 the other day and burn't them to
cd yesterday.it sounds good,except for the swedish announcer at the start of it!

I found a couple of videos on the net of Floyd singing "wish you were here"
and "Comfortably Numb" , all in all the bass player was a little rusty with singing. the lead singer/Guitar player was perfect. (sorry I dunno their names).

ah,good ole' Floyd!

I wish I could have seen it to see Paul. Though im very dissapointed Ringo wasnt there. That would have been great to see him and Ringo play together again.
