a pink floyd reunion would be marvelous but control would have to be granted to each member. Roger could potentially soil the new beginning if given too much creative power. But if you were to listen to "on an island" by david, "broken china" by rick, and "amused to death" by roger, just think of those elements combined in a modern twist. The politics of roger, the soothing essence of ricks keys and davids licks. as the years progress it seems as though they've all pinpointed what parts of pink floyd they put in. if they were to start on a new album it would be the best of all worlds in one disc. pink floyd could potentially carry on again without roger but it wouldnt be the same considering he is the core of the original writing, musically and on paper. either way id love to see the name pink floyd headlining even if it were just guy snowy rick and dave..
I seriously doubt there will be a Pink Floyd reunion. As much as I would love for it to happen I don't think it will.
well, thats what we said 8 years ago, but look what happend in 2005. Anything is possible, jsut put your mind to it.
Ron Geesin wrote and arranged the horn parts for Atom Heart Mother but I have never heard who's idea it was .. saying it was Roger's idea is news to me..
David has never minced words about reunions. It was David who started to say "never say never" a year or two before Live 8.
Legally there cannot be a Pink Floyd without David as David is now the one in charge of Pink Floyd Ltd, the corporation that Floyd created. Roger resigned as an active member of the band but still remains on the board of directors and still is involved in business decisions. But there can legally be no Pink Floyd without David Gilmour.
As much as I love Floyd I resigned myself to the fact that there will never be a reunion right after Live 8.
Roger has said he can roll over for one show but not for a whole f******tour. That about sums it up. Besides there is no venue large enough to hold the number of people that would want to be there. They would have to do a few really large places in major cities. The demand and price of the tickets would be crazy if you could even get them. When Roger did the MGM Vegas the tickets were going for $4500 each. The whole band is also getting to that age were is harder to keep up. Rogers voice near the end of his 2007 tour in May was a little rough. He clearly sang a lot less. the rest of his band picked up the slack. But still we can hope and if it happens we all take out 2nd morgages to buy tickets.
A new twist to consider for Pink Floyd? After I viewed the 2007 VH-1 Rock Honors and heard the performance that Gretchen Wilson did to pay tribute to Heart (which was "spot-on" in vocals and appearance) I have this idea. "What if" Pink Floyd found their perfect young replacements (in vocals, appearance, and musical talent-if possible) and marketed them as "Pink Floyd-Next Gen"? I for one would love to see a live non-stop stage performance of "The Wall" (entire album) and toss in some songs from "Dark Side Of The Moon" and "Wish You Were Here". Now I realize this is a "long-shot" of an idea. I imagine it would take Pink Floyd (incuding Roger Waters) at least a year to find find suitable (acceptable) "Next-Gen" members and at least another year to fine-tune their sound. Market this correctly and Pink Floyd fans would experience today what some of us were fortunate enough to see in 1980. "What a show it was" and "what a show it could be".
You never know. Plus, I mean they'd have to not only be in the same room together for long periods of time but the proverbial ice would have to melt before any real magic could happen...

greetings bps! interesting first post...check out the tribute band section of the forum to read about many bands trying to do something as close as you'll get to your idea...imho
I thought, after Live 8, a reunion tour was in the works. I was all, "OMG OMG PINK FLOYD IS DOING A REUNION TOUR OMG OMFG *pass out*", but then at the Madcap's Last Laugh concert, when Roger and the rest of the band performed separately, and Roger didn't return for the last song, the though was viciously murdered.
And the part on the Remember that Night documentary when Roger and Dave meet again, they seemed really uncomfortable. Bye bye reunion tour. :(
Graham D Wrote:Quincy Wrote:If Pink Floyd played again, I'm almost positive they'd mostly play tracks from 1973-1979.
Maybe a few older ones, but I doubt they'd play anything newer.
Yes I think most of the material would come from this era. Roger would probably want to play Dark Side in full, which I think the rest would agree with, as they played it on the last PF tour.
As for older material, Roger would champion "Set The Controls" and Dave "Astronomy Domine".
Regarding AMLOR and TDB. Pink Floyd albums they may be, but should not be part of any Floyd concert with Roger Waters. Put it another way, would you go to a Deep Purple concert and expect Ian Gillan to sing material from Burn or Stormbringer?
...fair enough, but I suppose you could use the same argument to veto anything off The Final Cut (since Rick, obviously, didn't play on it)
