Revolver Paul Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I hope they do another tour on the back of that scintillating performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumin Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Like I said in the Live 8 thread, Pink Floyd's performance was amazing, and made me very emotional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumiere Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 That was shit. The only remotely good/interesting parts were when Roger dedicated WYWH to Syd, and their linking arms goodbye at the end. Apart from that, it was uniform wank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnezz Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Floyd stole the showThey were a level above everyone else.You could tell all 4 loved playing together, some people think that Gilmour wasn't a happy chappy but if you have seen him in other live gigs he is always very emersed in the music and has his eyes closed or staring blankly. Roger was loving it, so was Nick and Rick.Pink Floyd were awesome, it was the greatest and most emotional performance i have ever seen.The Who came 2nd, but it would of been better if they had did 4 songs instead of 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumiere Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 They showed not even a soupcon of emotion. They stood there, motionless, and played 4 of the most mundane, predictable, overplayed tracks in their back catalogue; Breathe, Money, Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb.The song performances could've been culled straight from P.U.L.S.E. - Roger's presence mattered not a single iota. To sum up, it was boring, overhyped and unimpressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have made fun of gnr fans for saying they were a goos band because they move around on stage alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumiere Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 You have to appreciate they were playing to an audience of Robbie Williams fans so the setlist had to be like that.What you have to appreciate is that many of the audience had specifically gone to Live8 just to see Pink Floyd. it was intense.No. Old Pink Floyd were intense. Performing at 3 in the morning in the pitch black, and playing Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun so loudly that you kill fish in a nearby lake is intense. Playing carbon copies of some of Floyd's 'safest' material is banal.its unimportant how much a band moves around on stage sometime.This is partly true. Floyd themselves were hardly renowned for gymnastics displays live. But, Floyd simply stood glued to the spot, devoid of any emotion, or any feeling. You have made fun of gnr fans for saying they were a goos band because they move around on stage alot.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Let's set things straight. I make fun of Axl's live performances because, if he turns up at all, he runs around like a headless twat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffan Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I sure hope that this reunification leads to more things , like a tour or possibly an album , it's just really cool to see the 4 of them back together . Peace GnR Nation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted gilmour look unemotional but roger was clearly overcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula McKagan Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 You have to appreciate they were playing to an audience of Robbie Williams fans so the setlist had to be like that.Ok..i liked their perfomance but i think that part of your speech is wrong ...when they showed the people in the audience watching at floyd...they were all like my parents (mostly)...a woman with their t shirt....a dude that seemed to be 40 singing all their songs.....the generation of floyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampi Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 OBVIOUSLY there will be some people there to JUST see floyd but not a majority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamisonic Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 THIS is simply unbeatable. Pink Floyd played like they had never been gone. They proved their music is timeless and still as powerful as ever. They didn't miss one single note. Absolutely fucking briliant!This is just about the best thing that has happened in music in a VERY long time. Absolutely amazing.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! That picture is the best thing I've seen in a long time. Post of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
