Pink Floyd Fans: THEY ARE ON NOW est

[LynneSin]

According to MTV, Floyd show will be shown in it's entire set on both VH1 and MTV (VH1 is 10-3EST, MTV is 3-8EST).

Right now The Who is on, I would suspect that Pink Floyd will be coming on soon after them since there set was a good 30 minutes.


This is from VH1's website and I've been watching since Dave Matthews - they've pretty much gone in the same exact order:

The complete VH1 broadcast will include performances by: Paul McCartney & U2, U2, Coldplay, Bon Jovi, Elton John, Will Smith, Annie Lennox, Keane, Dave Matthews Band, Orchestra Baobab, Madonna, Maroon 5, Joss Stone, Velvet Revolver, Sting, Rob Thomas, Mariah Carey, Robbie Williams, the Who, Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney.

1. KICK

:kick:

[johnnie]

2. It still gives me shivers

[GOPisEvil]

3. From progmom to PF.

[GOPisEvil]

5. Dammit! They censored "Money".

Fucking FCC fascists!

[johnnie]

7. What did they censor?

[GOPisEvil]

9. 'Bullshit' became 'Bullohgsfksdf'

:grr:

[LynneSin]

8. well, it is cable TV

they censored Madonna too when she screamed out 'Fuck' between songs. I hate to see what they do with Green Day who was cursing up a storm during their set

[johnnie]

11. They cut out Daltry saying

"Who the fuck are you" too in "Who are you".

[GOPisEvil]

12. You should be able to get away with a little more on cable.

For crying out loud. Puritans! x(

[johnnie]

14. Oh they do

I watched "Saving Private Ryan" and they said a lot of "fuck"s. But that is about killing people so it was OK. This is music dammit! It's much more of a threat than war.

[LynneSin]

16. They showed a breast on the Ethiopia Video

But it wasn't exactly something folks wanted to look at. I was crying during that whole video. Makes me sad that there are those that have way too much and way too many that have none.

Ironically when ABC showed that click they censored the breast

[Atlas Mugged]

41. Thank you!!!!

I was hoping I wasn't the only one that threw a fit.

[tosca_veritas]

4. shivers!

I had tears of joy when I saw them ! How awesome , that a whole new generation of youngsters will be able to hear the voices, get the message of PINK FLOYD!!!!

It's high time!!!!

[johnnie]

6. Welcome to DU tosca_veritas

:hi:

[tosca_veritas]

13. thanks!!!

[johnnie]

15. Syd doesn't look too bad these days

I wish they would show more of him instead of David and Roger.

:evilgrin:


Opps, that was meant as a general attempt at a joke, not directly to you..lol.

[LynneSin]

10. Here's the MTV lineup - I'm assuming this is the order of the sets

The complete MTV broadcast will include performances by: Paul McCartney & U2, U2, Coldplay, Black Eyed Peas, Destiny's Child, Green Day, Dido & Youssou N'Dour, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, R.E.M., Snoop Dogg, Orchestra Baobab, Madonna, Linkin Park, Linkin Park & Jay-Z, the Killers, Björk, Good Charlotte, Malaika, Audioslave, Mariah Carey, Robbie Williams, the Who, Pink Floyd and Paul McCartney.

[Lilli]

45. Thanks!

It does appear to be the set list

[GOPisEvil]

17. 2nd time today for tears.

"Wish You Were Here" :cry:

[LynneSin]

19. The tears start as soon as he dedicates it to Syd

[GOPisEvil]

21. I'm thinking of someone closer to home.

[tosca_veritas]

22. hugs

me too !!!

I got comfort from a song by a german songwriter, whom Andy and I both loved..he wrote a song about how he dealth with the passing of his beloved wife, who died of cancer way too early in life. I posted this for Andy earlier---hope you find it inspiring

hugs,

[GOPisEvil]

26. That was beautiful. Thanks.

[tosca_veritas]

30. the least i could do

[Parche]

18. Floyd Pink

I watched it last week and had little tinglies all over,
then they cut out to those 2 VH1 Nifnods talking and it ruined the
whole thing
I would like to see it in its entire performance

Do you think that they are still mad at Roger?

[johnnie]

20. My observation is

It looks like Roger is trying to be personable, but Gilmour won't even look at him.

[tosca_veritas]

25. my observation is....

they RULE!!!!!

They united for ONE cause, for ONE purpose, personal matters don't count-- this is bigger than any one of us!!


we ARE one, it's ONE message, ONE earth, ONE humanity!

POWER to PINK FLOYD!

[johnnie]

29. I agree

Pink Floyd brought so much attention to this effort by doing what they did, I think they were the main draw. They Rock and always have.

[LynneSin]

28. There is still bad blood between then but the felt this was more important

I think Gilmour said he's donating all the profits from increased record sales from the appearance to African Charities.

I just so wish they would just put the bad blood aside and do one last stadium tour. Hell, just do something like what Cream did where they do one last concert together. Then put together a DVD from that concert and rake in the cash (or make a hefty donation to charity of choice).

I'm thinking this is probably the last time we'll ever see all of Pink Floyd together (unless they get Syd Barrett out of retirement and let him fill in for Waters)

[johnnie]

32. Syd is still a little bit out to lunch.

he goes by his real name these days and from what I understand he won't even acknowledge his time in The Pink Floyd. That would be something though..lol.

[Parche]

33. FAN

I have loved them almost forever, but I never really
digged into the rift between them, what was it that
caused them to split?

Was it Rogers radio waves? just kidding.....hahah

Its almost like Genesis, One of my other favorites
I love Peter Gabriel, but I also love Phil Collins
and now Phil has left

[johnnie]

34. I think their problems started during "The Wall"

A lot of the guitar work on there isn't David. I think Write quit during that time and if I remember correctly, Roger was being a real studio nazi at the time. Then it built up after that to where they tried suing each other over the name "Pink Floyd". I have to try to remember what all happened. I followed a lot of it back then, but it's been so long.

[Parche]

35. guitar

David is one of the best, if not the best guitarist out there

I want to see one more tour of them, they would sell out in seconds
in the US, maybe have 2 concerts in 3days in each US city they
tour, then everyone could see them

[hickman1937]

36. This sight has comments by Gilmore and Waters after

each album. Click on Trivia and Quotes. I started at the first album and went all thru, but the real break down starts arount the time of The Wall. Seemed to me that Roger Waters filled the leadership void left by Sid, but then felt over worked, and developed an enormous ego.

Sorry forgot the link.

[johnnie]

37. Right

The Wall was his baby and he got carried away. It happens to us musicians though...lol. I know tons of musicians and they all have huge egos.

[LynneSin]

39. I love this trivia for Dark Side of the Moon

Statistically, DSoTM should be playing somewhere on the planet every minute of every day.

[johnnie]

40. Have you ever seen "Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii"?

It is a concert they did alone in the ruins of Pompeii. I have it around here somewhere, I haven't watched it in a while. Anyway...they have footage of them recording Dark Side of the Moon in the studio. It's very cool.

[LynneSin]

43. I saw it way back in High School at my brother's party

He had a bunch of friends over and they got a copy of "Live at Pompeii" and even rented a VHS so we could watch it. I was amazed because although a Pink Floyd fan I thought there was nothing before Dark Side of the Moon.

This showed just how amazing they were before they hit mega-stardom

[johnnie]

44. Yeah, it's great stuff

I have to find it and transfer it to DVD.
I started getting into Floyd when I was about 13 or so. I was given some albums and some of them were with the Barret stuff. I was a bit of a freak back then and loved that stuff, but I also loved the later stuff.
I have all of it now and also a few videos. Syd's music was an early influence on my early songs that I wrote. I still put a bit of his psychedelia in some of my songs.

[Parche]

42. There is no dark side of the moon, really

ITS ALL DARK

[LynneSin]

23. VH1 and MTV are showing it in it's entirety

No Commericials, No voice overs. They just go from one set to the next. Right now the VH1 set is finishing up (EST). They went from 10-3 and then MTV does a show (no commericials/commentary) from 3-8. Pink Floyd is one of the bands being shown in BOTH sets. They are scheduled to be next to last on the MTV set so tune in sometime around 7pm

[ET Awful]

24. Amazing how good they still sound, especially after not having played

together for so damned long.

I mean . . . that is one TIGHT performance.

[GOPisEvil]

27. That was fucking incredible.

[hickman1937]

31. Thank you so much.

I had to miss it when it was on last week. I saw your thread, and tuned in on Money. Thanks again.

[LynneSin]

38. Turn on again sometime around 7pm EST

MTV has their set right before the McCartney finale. So I'm guessing 7pm would be a safe time to turn on the TV set and not miss it.

I'm still watching but Green Day is up 4th or 5th (I have to suffer through Destiny's Child)

[Bush_Eats_Beef]
