How Pink Floyd Reunited for Live 8 - And Why They Never Toured

[@djkaka020772]

I was watching it on MTV live. MTV, in its infinite wisdom, cut to a f**king commercial in the middle of Comfortably Numb!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

Their coverage was shit all day. More interested in broadcasting interviews and commercials than any of the 9 concerts (there was a second semi-official UK concert at the Eden Project in Cornwall) and also showing exactly the same coverage on both MTV and VH1.

Roger was the brain, David was the heart, Nick was the driving beat, but Rick was the soul of Pink Floyd.

and Syd is the Shining Diamond.

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

Yes! I remember a similar description for the Beatles. Still, I find it quite appropriate for Floyd as well! After The Wall, there was nothing left for them to do as a group! While I don’t really blame Roger, he just went off into a different area! I would have lost all respect for the rest of the band if they had agreed to follow him as the “supporting” band! That was the “Final Cut”, which was not a bad album, but not at all a Floyd project, it was Roger’s album, with Floyd backing him up.

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

Rick Wright was not there, and Roger brought in other drummers on songs. NOT A FLOYD ALBUM!!

Actually The Who performed before Floyd. Pink Floyd however were the only London act not to be announced by an onstage emcee. If I remember rightly they were showing Roxy Music playing in Berlin on the big screens only for them to fade out and Speak To Me fade in over the PA, after which the band kick in playing Breathe while the screens show footage of the Animals pig soaring over Battersea power station, the video screens not showing the band until the vocals begin.

[@andrewskivington6453]

@@UranusMcVitieFish-yd7oq Yeah, I remember people already streaming for the exits to get their trains after The Who as had already gone 11pm... their loss was my gain as I got closer to the stage. I ran like the wind to leave as Macca was playing and only just got my last train. Still one of my favorite festival type shows (only took me a few texts to "win" tickets too) - Travis, REM, Robbie Williams were good, The Who especially, I remember the audience trolling Mariah Carey when she came on with some African kids. Missed U2 and Coldplay because there were hold ups at the gates, but the crowd were good humored. Was there for the Floyd and was not disappointed. Great day!

[@KevinMooretoons]

Rick's contributions to Syd's solo work, especially "Dominoes" deserves a mention. He was always thoughtful and on point.

[@sbutler860]

I was at the Live 8 concert in 2005. I stood on my feet for sixteen hours so I could see PF. They were more than an hour late and by then my back was agony. I even told my wife I was thinking of leaving. But I'm glad I stayed. I couldn't have lived with myself if I had left. It was the greatest 24 minutes of my life. As soon as Floyd finished we started to leave, we didn't stop for Paul McCartney, although we saw some of it on the video screens. I feel privileged to have been there. x

While watching this video all the way through, I just couldn’t stop thinking about Rick. He’s such a special member to me, and in my opinion, brings the soul to the band, and encapsulating so many things I love about Pink Floyd, not to discredit the other members of course. Hell, I even love hearing his voice on songs like “Summer 68”, “Wearing The Inside Out”, “Remember A Day” and “Stay”.. I wish I could’ve heard more of his singing on Pink Floyd. It’s so soothing, calm and peaceful. I so love that quality.

The pure emotion from David and the Live 8 crowd during the solo makes that version of Comfortably Numb my favorite. It was brilliantly captured by the camera crew as well. Legendary stuff, very grateful to have witnessed it on TV as it happened.

[@conkerchimera]

Honestly id say David didn't want to perform with Roger he usually seems against the idea but not always... Unfortunately. I love Roger and David. The way i see it if you want to get the theatrical side of Pink Floyd including the effects go see Roger. Ive been on his most recent 2 tours and it was actually amazing musically and visually with a phenomenal band! Id love to see David live 100% but he doesn't tour as often! Pink Floyd's biggest weakness is the fans... They take the arguments between the 2 musicians and blow it up bigger than it needs to be. Go into any comment section on the Pink Floyd page and its probably one of the top 10 comments trashing Roger or David... It also sucks because it takes away from all of their talent. Say what you want about Roger, hes an amazing songwriter and bass player. David one of the best guitarists of all time with an amazing lullaby soothing voice. Nick is the most steady drummer who knows when to lay back and chill on a beat but can be a monster! Richard is one of the best keyboardists ever... Period. Syd was a visionary its too bad mental health issues, drugs and fame got to him. They all were great that's what made the band so amazing.

Fantastic video. Besides the amazing show with Roger actually playing the bass guitar, Dave's solo album the year after is a very strong record - used to play the Gdansk version on repeat. It went well with all of the Floyd classic material in his shows. I still hold out hope that Dave might do another limited tour of some type - heck, even a book tour would be nice. Thanks for this.

I remember watching this live on TV. Being a huge long time Pink Floyd fan, clearly this was a big moment for me. Then after one or two songs they cut away to a different stage and did not show the whole performance. I got so pissed off. I was like this is the biggest moment in rock and roll history. The only thing that could be bigger than this would be the four Beatles performing again and they cut away to some small-time band. Outrageous. The four Pink Floyd on stage again together was the event of the decade for music

WHERE?!?" But I realized he pranked me! And rest in peace to both Syd & Rick ❤

[@Clarence_Oddbody]

I think David was just happy to have found his own voice and own following. He was initially just the guy who taught Syd a few things on the guitar, but when Syd fell ill and he replaced Syd I think he always felt like the interloper.

[@delorangeade]

I'm not as emotionally wedded to Pink Floyd as some people appear to be, so I thought Live 8 was an amazing moment in time and a great way for the band to go out. It gives it more integrity just to be a one-off performance for a specific cause, so it's probably a good thing they didn't drag their personal animosity out on the road. For what it's worth, I'll take the Live 8 version of Comfortably Numb over the Pulse one every time. Pulse is more light show than music.

[@Picnicl]

I'll take the original The Wall album version of Comfortably Numb over any other version. By far.

[@TJR-ClassicRockCorner0124]

Live in Gdańsk was released a week after Richard passed away as a Double CD or 3-CD/2-DVD or 5 LP set. That was the final performance of the On an Island Tour. I also missed it because of finances and the fact that I had relocated to Florida (or is it Flaw Ree Duh).

Credit to all members Roger, David , Rick , Nick and even Syd for giving us these amazing Albums it was legendary and great while it lasted 😊

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Gilmours “On an Island” album was better then ANYTHING Waters has done in a long time. I think we were all hoping maybe for a reunion of sorts or even new material, but you kinda new that wasn’t in the cards, lol. It was cool Herping Dave AND Roger sing “wish you were here”. Considering neither of them sang it on the album. Cool video my man.

If you compare solo albums, please don't forget Syd's. In addition to the two standard ones, there's one called The Radio One Sessions that, while at points is poor in sound quality, is IMO rightfully a studio album (Obviously Syd didn't perform live on radio). Given that it combines material from both his standard solo albums, you could in fact just include that one in your comparison. It's stellar. Took no "acquiring" stage for it to suit my taste. Thanks.

Gosh, thank you so much for this video. I’ve just subscribed! - (and thanks KZbin Algorhythm for putting this in my feed.) I have been a fan since about 1968 and this is one of the best videos I’ve seen about the band. Your research is very impressive and I look forward to looking at your other videos. I was lucky to see all four of them a lot in the 70s, although at a couple of concerts I’m not quite sure what happened - but that’s the 1970s! I was also lucky enough to see the original version of The Wall at Earls Court and it was freaking awesome and also Roger Waters version at the O2 which was really impressive. I was watching Live 8 and I didn’t know they were on the list of bands. My head nearly exploded and then my daughter rang me and said ‘are you watching the TV dad? ‘ It was brilliant. Also a big fan of the Aussie Pink Floyd who are absolutely amazing and I’ve seen them lots of times. Thanks again.

Echoes without Roger Waters on bass is not Echoes. He brought a groove to Floyd's music, especially in the Funk bits.

[@NolanEgbert]

The band tried to open their Momentary Lapse tour with Echoes but decided to drop it after a few shows. Gilmour admitted the new band members weren’t really getting the “vibe” Waters brought when they performed it. But he and his band nailed it 20 years later during the On An Island tour

[@cgerman]

I think that Gilmour said that we were offered insane amounts of money to tour again and make an album but I am personally not interested in doing this. And Waters is pretty much feeling the same. And I have huge respect for them for not selling out and for being true to what they want to do even if it means that they will miss out on making more money and be in the spotlight. And they don't really need the money now, do they?

[@jonathanmurphy3141]

When Live 8 was due, I had to go to a baseball game, with my Brother, and my Dad in Cincinnati, the Reds. I had two tv’s and two VCR in different rooms. July 2005. (My brother recorded 3/4 of Live Aid). Each vcr could do 4hrs. Got back from baseball,…and, I was really annoyed how many of the performances were talked over by some “personality” or edited by commercial. I think only 5 mins of Pink Floyd was broadcast. So, when the dvd box of Live 8 was released, in 2006, bought it. There are only a few segments that I watch over again -and, mostly P.Floyd. (Buying the dvd set, money went to charity; unlike these copies online).

As I read it," Roger's use of "roll over" is a euphemism for "not be the one in charge." As you rightfully point out, Roger's value was mainly behind the scenes.
