Rare Pink Floyd Reunion Footage! UPDATED: Footage Gone
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008
This weekend I sat in front of the tube and watched my Live 8 DVD and the Pink Floyd reunion. That was such a big deal for me, and no doubt for Floyd fans around the world.
I started listening to Pink Floyd when I was 13, a few years after the big breakdown between Roger Waters and the rest of the band. With the constant bad-mouthing and sniping in the press, especially between Rog and David Gilmour, I never thought you’d see them onstage together. The fact that it happened, that it was so good, and that Roger Waters seems to have mellowed and become a happier man makes me a happier man.
I’ve probably watched the footage 20-odd times over the past 2 1/2 years, and it never fails to move me. Today I found some rehearsal footage I’d never seen before, and thought you might be interested. So check it out!
UPDATE: Sorry guys, it’s been removed. I’ll keep my eyes open if it reappears.
Today’s bonus word, good until midnight tonight, is: PIGS
