If they buried their respective ego's (and this was probably a test case) we fans may actually get a new album...........

Let's just hope it's not in each others back.

This would be amazing... I don't see it happening though. We can all hope though.

I highly doubt that an album might come out of this, but I could see the possibility of Dave showing up for a surprise guest performance on "Comfortably Numb" at one or more of Roger's shows on The Wall tour this fall/next winter. You know coming up on a stage riser, the way he did back in 1980 Wall tour.

That would totally blow my mind.


This is some cool news. Who knows? Maybe we'll get to see a reunion tour yet.

IMO once Wright died the dream of them ever getting back together died with it.

Saddly



BTW they were together in Live 8 in 2005.

Agreed. Even if Gilmour and Waters did get back together, it wouldn't really be a Pink Floyd reunion. Richard Wright was far too big of a part of that equation for it to truly be Pink Floyd.

Regardless, I would love to see David Gilmour and Roger Waters perform together at some point in my life.

Well, I don't claim to have mindreading skills, but Roger just today (7/14/10) posted the following on his Facebook page. I've bolded the relevant parts of each:

"So here's what happened. Last year, 'The Hoping Foundation' a charity that supports Palestinian refugee kids, (www.hopingfoundation.org) put on a fund raiser at Ronnie Scott's Club in London, the idea of which was to raise money by auctioning karaoke performances by various celebrities. David was there as a supporter and was moved to perform an impromptu rendition of George Gershwin's 'Summertime?' which he performed aided and abetted by supermodel Kate Moss.

In the wake of that evening, someone, I think it was David himself, came up with this 'Wouldn't it be funny', idea. What if he (David that is) were to sing the old Teddy Bears song 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' with me (Roger that is), what with us having been so famously at each other's throats for years and years. Get it!!!! Anyway he E-mailed me with this suggestion and I loved it, so then it was just a question of juggling dates and deciding to do 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Comfortably Numb' to round out our little set. Or so I thought, until he sent me a number of very musical and eloquent demos of how we could do the song in two-part harmony. I listened with a sinking heart, knowing that David, with his superior vocal skills, could sing either part standing on his head, whilst I would have to search for a different key and then struggle through hours and hours of routining a performance that lay way outside my vocal comfort zone. To my eternal shame I bottled out and told Dave I would happily do 'Wish You Were Here' and 'C. Numb', but that 'To Know him is to Love him' was beyond me.

Some weeks passed with David cajoling me from time to time, telling me how easy it would be, but I clung resolutely to my fear of failure until one day he made one final entreaty. I quote "If you do 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' for The Hoping Foundation Gig, I'll come and do 'C. Numb' on one of your Wall shows". Well! You could have knocked me down with a feather. How ****ing cool! I was blown away. How could I refuse such an offer. I couldn't, there was no way. Generosity trumped fear. And so explaining that I would probably be *****, but if he didn't mind I didn't, I agreed and the rest is history. We did it, and it was ****ing great. End of story. Or possibly beginning.

Roger

PS. Just heard from David, he will decide in due course which gig he wants to do, it will be a surprise!"

And one of my older favorite shots of the band (ca. Nov. 1972) just for fun (and to show the effect of Time )

I would pay to see that.
Roger was asking an arm and a leg for his tickets, probably a ploy to help Roger sell his shows out.
If it was a guarantee, I would do it.
Still cheaper to buy DVD's/CD's for the home though.
Especially if you own most of their work to begin with.
Way back when I had to choose to go to the Dead or Floyd, and went with the Dead, thinking Floyd would be around longer.
Neither was, as 8 months later, Jerry died, but I still wonder if I should have seen Floyd instead, as opportunity has not been there since.
