Saw the Roger Waters set at Glasto a few years back and the sound was pretty amazing on that, remember helicopters on the sound system which was pretty awesome! Floyd were amazing in the good old days and anything seems to be possible so who knows.................??

It's not going to happen.. really not going to happen... so go look at other threads.. no really it is not going to happen are you still here just because you wish it happen does not mean that it will. Close the thread it will not happen.

But it would be the best thing to happen since I have been going ;)

It rained. He was great.

Saw Floyd in the 90's. they were great too.

However when Walters sang with Gilmore at Live 8 on Comfortably Numb it could only be the two of them together at last. I cried.

Then Rick Wright died. I cried then too.

No. I'm from Essex.

Never cry.

Oh no.

Well maybe just once or twice.

Ok, Ok I can blub like a baby.

Look it was the night my daughter was born that did it. I stood there looking all uninterested and that, when a pesky midwife slipped up behined me as I looked at her in my arms, slipped a straw into my ear, sucked out my 'man' brain and replaced it with fluffy marshmellows.......

I'm crying now.

Yeah, sadly I dont think it will happen.

I think Waters feels bad about the way Pink Floyd split and seems to have genuine sadness about it now upon reflection, however I still think Gilmour holds a grudge to some degree.

Waters and Wright had a few run ins just before the band split and I think Waters would not try and get the band back together out of respect for Wright which he did have even though they did not see eye to eye.

Gilmour said he was unhappy with Mr Eavis as Wright never got to play there before he died which does not give a good feeling about going there as a reformed group without Wright.

However, they are all getting older and maybe - just maybe whilst the 3 of them are still live and kicking they will put all differences behind them and play Glasto as a dedication to Wright.

i'm pretty sure it rained during Roger Waters set in 2002. everyone in my pictures in wearing jackets/macs with the hood up or hats on

it was an unbelievable set he did though, probably my best ever glastonbury moment. I remember him and the band sitting down to play cards halfway through the set

Pink Floyd can't ever play, but hopefully Waters, Gilmour and Mason will reform for 2010

From a purely personal point of view I hope they dont play.

They are definately big enough and very popular, I'm not against bands that I dont like playing, my taste is my taste and there is always something else on at Glasto, but unfortunately my dear Girlfriend would not bloody shut up about it from now untill about three years after thier set (she is a bit of a fan) if they did play, Glastonbury that year would be "the "The pinkfloyd show" and I would have to be there too so that I would understand what she saw in them.

So for my domestic bliss, I hope not.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
