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.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
    • I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
