One of these Days (I'm going to hack you up into little pieces)

OTHER:

Fearless
Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast
If
Two Suns in the Sunset
Not Now John

Roger Waters is my favorite, or at least the top 2, lyricists of all time. His ability to use that voice of his to capture the mood of every verse is nothing short of pure genius.

With apologies to Gilmour fans, and any idiot who thinks that Roger was just the bassist, take a looksy on the back of any Floyd album and you will see "all songs written and composed by Roger Water" with a select few exceptions.

trndobrd - adding the Gunner's dream took balls, the Final Cut is very unerrated and an awesome piece of work.

Ok, off the soapbox, I am saddened that I will never get to see thim perform live, I mean with Roger. I didn't go anywhere near Gravy Train Gilmour "and Pink Floyd" in concert and found their recordings to be rehashed Roger Waters (done very badly)

[trndobrd]

I should probably wait until I get my rep, but I'm not a huge Waters fan. Yes, he is a great lyricist, but became remorselesly self-indulgent around the Animals-Wall time period. That said, I think it would be really cool to see them do some of the pre-DSOTM stuff, maybe even a Piper song.

Of course, it's not really a reunion w/o Syd.

That's ok, he's just a fav of mine. He repulses me with his protesting of our country, but he's still a frigign genius. Dude, anyone aho lists gunner's dream deserves rep, period!

Comfortably Numb
Shine on you Crazy Diamond
Dogs
Not Now John


...Love Waters...hate his politics...


Does anybody know if this deal is going to be on TV anywhere. I know it will be on XM radio, but i cant find any TV listings

[StcChief]

Just let them play the whole time.

[mcan]

I'm glad that they've managed to bury the hatchet and are playing together again.

But I'm a much bigger Gilmour fan than Waters. It's truly he and Rick Wright that make that band sound like The Floyd that we all know and love (in my opinion).

[munkey]

How come "None" wasn't an option????

Its not showing up on yahoo's TV listings but I found this:
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1504578/20050623/story.jhtml

"The MTV/ VH1 feed, which will run from noon until 8 p.m., will also air on mtvU. Relevant highlights will additionally run on July 3 on CMT and VH1 Classic."

[FloridaChief]

Unfortunately, they're only allotting 20 minutes or so for the Floyd set on Saturday. The lads are scheduled to play three songs...

I sure wish they would come around here.

I'm pretty sure that means you have to go out in the street and smash their records.

Damn that really sucks but its better than nothing I guess.

You have any idea what time they are supposed to come on?

Just means i prefer not to hear about it.

According to the set list I've seen (and this could change before Saturday), the Floyd is the "headline" act; they'll be the last band to perform. After they finish, McCartney and a bunch of superstar musicians will come out and play "Long And Winding Road"...
