[@brayanramiles8502]

You know what? If someday Pink Floyd gets a movie like Bohemian Rapsody, about all the highs and lows throughout all the band history, this should be the final scene

[@gabriels.carvalho4852]

I think it's too much content to put there, you know? The Queen movie went like "1970 to 1985" and they had to cram so much there, to the point that it became kinda detrimental to the movie, in my view. Imagine having to start from the Barret years (1968'ish) , all the way to this Reunion (2005). This movie would probably suck, and you can make a whole movie just about Syd Barrett, now that I think of it. But yeah, if they were to do something of the like, this should probably be the final scene. Maybe if you skip or just brush over the Gilmour years (since it was the less turbulent period) you can get straight to there, but still, it's too much content.

[@ivanschickendantz]

In fact, the plot of the Queen movie, the thing of Live Aid reunion after "a long time", looks more like Pink Floyd history than Queen

Too bad Waters couldn't see that. That was only part of the problem. Waters wanted to be totally in charge.

For sure. From what I heard it took awhile to convince Dave to do it. Geldof was probably the only person who could have done it I think.

[@leroylang2453]

From what I've read it was Geldof getting Roger to phone Dave that was the real breakthrough. I think the cause - (fighting poverty) - was right for them all and with Waters and Geldof putting it up to him I'd say Dave realised that this was a good opportunity to put all the squabbling to bed and give the group a fitting end.

Leroy Lang Yeah and since then Dave has said as much, and also asked Roger to do a charity gig with him. So I think it is all put to bed. Also fitting to have the guy who played Pink in The Wall film to get them all together.

I just love the music I grew up with is still around. Most great bands now days can’t stay together 5 years much less 40+ years. This was my second concert when I was 14.

[@claytonefranklin]

Knowing everything we do these days about the last days of the Beatles before their split, they probably would’ve reformed after a few years and continued to make music together and apart for many years. Too bad life happened the way it did.

Agreed, if it weren't for the horror that happened to John, the Beatles would've definitely reunited at Live Aid in 1985, or maybe even before

[@adamsmith1653]

Roger and Richard throwing their heads up in unison following David’s run down the neck at 5:12 is just beautiful, and Nick perfectly accenting the moment caps it off. No drama, just four musicians coming together for a common cause. Seeing Richard and Roger side by side and in the same zone one last time is priceless.
