Still perfection, decades later in their final performance as the classic 4 lineup.. Thanks for watching! 🥰
There's PINK FLOYD, YES and... the others. Thanks.
🙂
I cried, and still cry because of this reunion performance.
Awesome! Great to hear some Floyd. Great reaction from you as usual, thanks
Always is great to hear em! Thanks so much for the compliment and for stopping by!
I’m pretty sure this was the first time Breathe & its reprise were played together live.
Oh nice to know! Thanks for watching
L'ultima volta....una reunion storica.
Nothing to say…. It’s Pink Floyd ❤
😁👍
A good time was had by all, except David, Rick and Nick. Waters immediately tried to take over during rehearsal and David had to step in. You can see how upset Nick was in this video...he said it was a miserable experience and couldn't wait for it to be over. There's a short video of the rehearsal here on youtube.
Wow, hadn't heard any of that...
Nice choice for Pink Floyd Friday! Great to see the band together again, but not everyone was happy about it. I did see Roger Waters back in 2000, and did like the Floyd songs, but I’ve not been a big fan of Waters’ solo work. I wasn’t the most enamored with The Wall, although it has several epic songs, but liked The Final Cut even less. It was too much a Waters’ solo album. I was so glad when PF released A Momentary Lapse of Reason then later The Division Bell. Just a suggestion for the next time you’re thinking of doing another Porcupine Tree song is “Stranger By The Minute”. It’s from Stupid Dream, same as “Don’t Hate Me”, but this is way more uptempo and surprisingly doesn’t have the usual trance like qualities.
Thanks, somethin different... Yea, I get the feeling that Roger is not well liked by much of the PF fanbase. I did look into some of the recent drama, so I see what's been going on. Maybe my Final Cut reactions will have crickets!? Added SBTM to the list. Do you have a favorite off that album?
The entire Stupid Dream album is a masterpiece IMO. It opens with “Even Less” which is epic, followed by “Piano Lessons”, also “This is No Rehearsal”, “Tinto Brass”, you’re obviously familiar with “Don’t Hate Me”. It’s great from start to finish! “Stranger By The Minute” though is one of my favorites.
I veri Pink Floyd
Thanks for watching!
However, the best sequence of this brief collaborative performance is "Comfortable Numb" (for me the best live video version) as this is where Roger and David take turns singing, as originally on some original songs like "Run To Hell".
As the three songs show, D.G. has a monotonous, sleepy voice over time, but R.W. is partly chaotic to crooked, but taking turns together creates an interesting vocal tension. Neither of them are rock singers for me, so the three statistical jackdaws don't save anything on Pulse either, ha-ha; don't take it too seriously.
Thanks for the info and for watching!
✌️🤠🏞️🐂
Happy Friday!!
they put away their differences for 30 minutes and after it was over the conflict continued between David and Roger sad notice where Roger put Richard kid of in a lonely corner out of the lime light That is what most of the feud was about how much Roger distained Richard because of the Wall incident
It's too bad about all of that. Thank goodness all the music itself will "shine on" and stay brilliant for all time! Thanks for watching and being first today! 🥇
You mentioned how excited the audience there must have been, let me tell you I was like a kid at Christmas for like a full month leading up to this thing. The anticipation was almost unbearable. This was the first time since The Wall tour of 1980 they would all appear on stage together. (This was all broadcast live for three whole days over that weekend). There are videos of them rehearsing for this and they couldn't be more congenial with each other. Having lunch together, etc. But word is that Gilmour let Roger know in no uncertain terms when he suggested tweaking the setlist, that this was Gilmour's band and they were going to do only the songs he'd already selected and there will be no further discussion on the matter. Their final moments on stage after it's all over made it all worth it for uber fans like myself.
And yes, Gilmour does hit those high notes during the fade out of the studio version of Money. You might have missed it because it's overtaken by the other speaking voices that are fading up. 👍
Wow, you went!! EPIC! Yes, I suppose they did it for the fans and for the good cause. They certainly lost none of their chemistry onstage imo, and it's nice that they did the 1 final hug after the performance...Thanks for the info on Money btw..✌
@@retroreactions.... No, I was that excited just to be watching it on TV!! LOL Didn't't mean to suggest that I was there.
Aww ok, read into it wrong. Glad your excitement was still through the roof!!
Solid comment, man. I heard something similar about the set list conversation, yet a little different. The quote I had read wasn't that Gilmour said it was his band, but he told Roger "You're here as our guest, we're not here playing with you", or something to that effect. The implication being that the band was all 3 of theirs equally, not a different face on the autocracy of the past. It's subtle, but worth noting considering the history of the band. Cheers, my friend!
I remember it well. I too watched Live on tv. It was great to see the 4 of them together again and in som3 ways I do remember feeling a tinge of sadness, but it was still a fabulous performance. You’d expect nothing less.
They did finish off this Set with 2 more great Classics. Fab’ to hear you say you’ll do the remainder sometime.
Thank you. 🎶❤️🎶
Yes, they picked 2 great ones to end with! Thanks for watching Eddie.
Ah, more perfection from the Floyd...
For sure! Excellent until the end!
At the time, we organized a gathering amongst friends to watch this performance live 🙌
A great moment in music history.
Must have been one exciting gathering!
An amazing performance, considering the fact that Roger and David basically still hated each other. For all his early brilliance, Waters became embittered jerk who though HE was Pink Floyd. He never reconciled with the fact that PF moved on without him, while his solo career fizzled.
I've seen things like that happen countless times with successful bands. A shame. The 4 together sure went out with a bang though! Thanks for stopping by.
@@retroreactions.... The success of the Division Bell tour (with the Pulse album documenting it) put the final nail in the coffin. BTW, while he didn't contribute to the writing, Guy Pratt played circles around Roger. When you watch the second half video, Rogers tries to take the limelight and everyone else tries to ignore him. What an egotistical asshole.
Yikes!
@@retroreactions....
I can't stand Waters. The guy holds grudges that can last for decades or a lifetime. He wouldn't speak to Nick for over a decade because he went with David, not him, when he left the group
they gave us the reunion the beatles never did, even if for just a few songs. at the end when they gathered at the front of the stage roger had to kind of coax david to come over for a group bow. a sight no one ever thought we would see. it's sad that this performance did nothing to close the rift between roger and david,but it was for a good cause,and gave fans what they'd been yearning for years.
Yes, a special gift to the world! That's what we can take from it... thanks for watching Danny.
You can imagine how the announcement of their reunion performance, being the brainchild of the guy who played the protagonist in the movie version of The Wall, exploded my brain into a million giddy pieces, and that half hour did not disappoint. Incidentally, Live 8 is where I discovered or re-discovered several acts that remain favorites, most notably Muse, whose work I know you have sampled. ANYwho, when that signature heartbeat began, I looked over at my partner and we uttered in unison "pigs have flown"...minutes before we saw the front-row fan holding a sign saying the exact same. Considering their iconography, I suppose that was the only proper response lol
Iconic story! You must have been SO glued to the TV! Funny I watched part of Live 8 when it happened and didn't give a second thought about Floyd....c'est la vie!
@@retroreactions.... Yeah, the backstory is really what makes it any more notable than just four ol' geezers shaking the rust off of a few well-worn classic rock staples, and you - seasoned Floydian that you are now - have that foundational knowledge to appreciate what made it the grand finale of the entire event. You arrived, that's all that matters m'friend ;-)
@@yanceynitzsche5115ey there! Howdy my friend! 👋
@@helenespaulding7562 Well (best Obi-Wan impression) Hello There! :-)
@@yanceynitzsche5115 I’m trying to hear Alec Guinness in my head saying “Well, hello there”. I can’t quite get it. 😁🤗. Hope you are well and not ridiculously stressed.
Good stuff. I saw vids where they had good practices in the days before this. But I can’t help but think- if Roger can’t sing all that well here in 2005 (on a couple other songs they did here); how in the heck is he doing it in 2023 concerts? Is Roger lip syncing now?
Not sure about that....I heard he was redoing some of their classics on a new album of his. Gotta see if that already came out...
@@retroreactions.... RW has been on tour this year. Spectacular display of Roger spotlighting Roger. I shoulda went, he was just 3hrs away; but a stark contrast to the direction away from PF. There’s some vids on it.
Don’t have much to say except NICE. Too bad RW is such a bitter guy……it’s really sad to me when exceptional artists just HAVE to get divorced due to egos….One shouldn’t leave this earth with grudges….
yes
Thanks for watching! 👍
Another valid in depth reaction to floyd..! Bravo mate!!!🙏👍🏼
Aw, thank you so much Glen!! Appreciate you watching.
It's such a monumental moment!
Thanks for this one 🔥👏👏👏
Yes! You're very welcome bud..
In 2011 Roger and Dave would find another reason to perform together on stage when during a live performance in London of Comfortably Numb during Roger's live tour of The Wall that year, suddenly David appears for the chorus and solo instead of the usual touring singer Roger uses for all of Dave's parts. The audience went wild. The performance is on UA-cam... look up Rodger Waters - David Gilmour Comfortably Numb Live 02 Arena.
Nick Mason would join them onstage for the finale bringing all three surviving members of Pink Floyd on stage together one last time. Dave even puts his head on Roger's shoulders at one point. You'd never know any animosity ever existed.
Oh wow, not sure if I had heard about that! Will have to watch it. Thanks
@@retroreactions.... No, these are little things only your true die-hard fans would be aware of. Big thing to us... It was quite a moment. And btw for that finale look up Roger Waters David Gilmour Nick Mason outside The Wall.
David has the heart where it needs to be! Have a great weekend!
Thanks, same to you!!
Excellent choice. It sounded fabulous. What else to say? Pink Floyd is in the very tip top of rock and roll royalty, with (for my money) the Beatles, Queen, and Led Zeppelin.
Agree!
The original Live Aid concert of 1985 was, in my opinion, the most exciting live music event in rock history after Woodstock. 16 hours of great music from a huge bunch of famous music stars on two stages in London and Philadelphia. I am especially remembering the appearance of U2 with their song "Bad" (brilliant!!!) and the performance of The Who.
Yes, EPIC is an understatement for that event in '85. I want to do some Live Aid reactions here. I can't figure out why no reactors have covered Live Aid, other than the Queen performance...
@@retroreactions.... By now you know, considering some of my comments, you realize that I sometimes have a somewhat to say the least...unusual perspective. 🙂
I don't like Queen at all. Mercury undoubtedly has a strong voice, but his intonation and especially his stage performance was always far too theatrical for me. At that time, in a group of friends who watched the event with me, I described his appearance on Live Aid as that of a "puffed-up peacock". In contrast to Roger Daltrey's performance, which embodied the gritty (though slowly aging) rock shouter. This did not go unchallenged. But...I'm a little weird there. Besides U2 and The Who, I also really liked George Thorogood, David Bowie and Sade.
All good! We all have different combinations of which artists we love. Look at me, I get into everything from Manilow, Air Supply, Elton to 80s R & B to disco to new age to classical to prog rock to the darkest gothic electronic music and tons in between!!
I was there and it was great ❤
Nice, big moment in history....lifetime memory!
❤👌
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching!
Your Music Mirrors Your Mind
Song suggestion: Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking
Band/Artist: Roger Waters
Album: Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking
Roger's first solo effort His first 3 albums are epic He was the "Pink" of Pink Floyd
i was starting to wonder if Richard was actually there....strange directing.
It was terrible directing. I remember thinking at the time these guys have no idea who Pink Floyd are. With all the talk of Roger joining them it was obvious they thought he was going to be lead singing a lot which he doesn't do on most of their biggest hits. And they nearly completely ignored the great Richard Wright throughout. 🤯
I’d not seen that performance but it was outstanding as usual. Pink Floyd aren’t the greatest band of all time for nothing I guess! Cheers Brandon my friend, my the wind always be at your back. 👍🎸🤘
Nice, glad you caught it here for the first time! Cheers bud, hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for always stopping by and supporting me! 🙂✌👊
