i keep watching the Pink Floyd live 8 set over and over.

[KG]

magnificent.


ya think future generations will recognize their musical genius?

1. Goddamn shame they are not going to tour.

The music was fantastic on Saturday, a magical moment and absolute show stealer.

2. I've been a Pink Floyd nut since the early 70's

My daughters, both in their 20's, used to just sigh and roll their eyes at my taste in music but over the years, they kept gravitating to my room when the Floyd came on. Both of them now really appreciate the genius and were both psyched that they reunited for Live 8.

True genius transcends time. People still appreciate Mozart, after all.

5. You were there all the

way but I just got finished reading their biography..

Fascinating after all these years..

3. I just watched and listened

too while I'm on DU.

I can't get enough of all the Live 8 Concert.

UB40 wasn't bad, either! :D And Travis!

[KG]

6. i liked Sting and Bruce Cockburn, too

[Cha]

8. Sting was Grreat!

I haven't heard Bruce Cockburn, Yet.. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm listening to Coldplay's "Bittersweet Symphony" now..I feel like the proverbial kid in the Candy Store! :)

21. "Call It Democracy"!

Thanks!

4. one slight criticism...waters came in too early in "money" the scratch

track of the cash register had to be turned off.

Not a big deal, but I'm a professional musician, I love pink floyd, and I just notice those kinds of things.

Otherwise, the show was FUCKING AWESOME! I only hope there's enough interest generated to spawn a world tour!

Oh, and re: future generations?

Pink Floyd's music and musical genious will live forever!

[MrSlayer]

7. They flatly stated there will be no tour.

Which sucks.

10. Also stated that David Gilmour will give his money

from the generated record sales to charity..didn't want to profit from Live 8.

"HMV said sales of Pink Floyd's album "Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd" had gone up by 1,343 percent since the weekend."

I plan on being one of those customers..

22. fuck.

9. I would dance at your wedding...

If you could burn a DVD of that for me. No TV here.

[KG]

13. i'm watching it on-line

http://music.channel.aol.com/live_8_concert/highlights/london.adp

haven't figured out how to d/l it.

[Enraged_Ape]

11. They were absolutely, jaw-droppingly fantastic

Imagine, a group that hasn't played together in almost a quarter of a century getting together and knocking those old songs out like they were brand new. Waters, Gilmour, Wright, and Mason hit the songs like they were performing them live for the very first time. It brought tears to my eyes. This type of coordinated musical talent just DOES NOT EXIST these days.

[Jara sang]

12. What songs did they do?

I didn't catch it and probably never will. But would like to know.

[KG]

15. go here - it's online - with the rest of the production.

[Enraged_Ape]

16. A smattering of the cool stuff...

"Breathe"
"Money"
Roger Waters gave a touching tribute to Syd Barrett...
then "Wish You Were Here" and
"Comfortably Numb"

The whole performance would give you chills.

[supernova]

14. PF was worth the entire concert alone

Perhaps only Green Day rivaled them in the passion department, though not in musicianship.

[Enraged_Ape]

It was worth it just to see smiles on Dave's and Roger's faces

It was like they were channeling their younger selves from the '70s. I know they appreciate each other's musicianship, and it absolutely showed.

[Darth_Kitten]

17. I don't know

[KG]

18. you're my favorite donut.

:hi:

[Darth_Kitten]

19. I don't know much about Pink Floyd, but I do know....

something about doughnuts. :)

[KG]

20. well, click on the link, and get edumacated.

23. One can only hope they would have the ability to do so

They've been my favorite since I was 11. :hippie: Comfortably Numb is, to me, the ultimate song of all times.

I went to see Floyd live in the early 90's. It was rather cool and it drizzled most of the time but we didn't care--they were awesome!:headbang:
