PINK FLOYD Charity Reunion?

Post by ajish4 »

Just heard on the radio that Pink Floyd is planning another reunion for a charity.

The announcer stated "they are presently searching for a charity".....

OH MAN, PERHAPS ONE more concert! :roll:

Hopefully it'll be a full show this time. Not another 4 song set. We need to have them compromise and see Roger play some of David's stuff! David needs to play stuff from The Final Cut!

That is my favorite Floyd album, but it'd NEVER happen. David was barely around, Nick didn't like being replaced with a session drummer on at least one track, and Rick wasn't even in the band. I got to hear Roger do "Fletcher Memorial Home" and "Southampton Dock" live a few years back, though.

There is no one in this world wishing for another Pink Floyd tour more than Diane.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

I first saw them in 1969 when they played in our village.:D They had played in the village the year before but I never went! :(. I didn't see them again until 1990.

Didnt see ya Peter must have been the Rain although when Macca was doing HeyJude i was a lefty.Does that mean were related! :lol:( actually come to think of it the trees didnt have much sheltering quality) We stayed at some B&B in Stevenage a memorable weekend i was very young and didnt have a care in the world.Oh happy days...........

Yeah, that was the first time round for that! PF pulled out all the stops: back up singers, sax player, quad sound system, great light show, gong that caught fire :shock: , etc. 8) 8) 8)

I hope that they do it. Ego has destroyed many a great band and it's also kept some together. It would be great to see them pull it together for a full concert and just enjoy playing. I'd jump at the opportunity to see them play a full set.
