It just occurred to me: for Floyd's one-song performance the other night, Rick Wright was on lead vocals. I hope this doesn't end up being their last performance ever (and I doubt it will be), but it would be interesting if this is how it all ends--with neither David nor Roger singing lead, but rather Rick.
Anyway, after the Live 8 performance, with Rick not even having a mic, and the camera people ignoring him studiously, it's nice to see him back in the spotlight, so to speak.

He does roger and syds voices alot when they arent performing. Since syds dead he will probably be doing his voice often, unless syds faking it.

Who could have predicted that the last ever Floyd song would be Arnold Lane unless they play again which is now even less likely as they have done something for Syd now.

Maybe, just maybe, and I am clutching at straws here, but maybe Syd has been there all this time over the years and this is just one big farst and he is going to bring Floyd back together once the end of the world has been announced for one last big mind blowing concert. :D
We live in hope. :;):

true but i think this post waters floyd playing was a very good sign. If dave didnt want to play again, he wouldve buried floyd with live 8 because it was so huge. It wouldve been a fit ending, but now they played again, its like when youre ocd and you didnt get a good last ending. Theyre gonna keep doing one off shows im sure. Deep down you can see dave love being up there with those guys.

I also think that Dave's family (and most likely Dave too) attending Roger's show was a good sign. I don't think that there's no hope of either the classic lineup or the post-Waters Floyd reuniting. Still, it would be an odd way to go out if this was the last time! Actually, it would be an interesting way to go out if their last live performance turned out to be a performance of their first single....

(A shortened Shine On You Crazy Diamond perhaps.)

I would love to see them get back together, post roger though. To be honest I dont think I want to see a waters run pink floyd ever again, and I think they did a great job without him. He was good to floyd early in there years but he turned into such a control freak that I think that it wasnt worth what he was giving to the band to put up with it.
(P.S. Please dont kill me roger waters fans. :D )

'At's okay, man....I know what you're saying. And I'd be perfectly happy for the post-Waters Floyd to do something new too. :)

whoa, there are a couple posts from here that are gone now, whats the dealio...

nevermind, wrong thread

Perhaps you should delete them then???
Anyways, I wouldn't mind seeing either a pro or post Roger Pink Floyd. I believe that if they ever did form again it would be a group lead thing, that is why Roger would probably never agree to it, but still wouldn't mind either way.

I'd be perfectly happy to see the post-Waters Floyd do something again, too, and I have a feeling that it would be even more of a group album than "Division Bell" was (for example, these days, Dave seems to be even more willing to have Rick take lead vocals than he was in the post-Waters Floyd).
I'd be happy to see a Roger Waters-led Floyd, too, but what I'd REALLY like to see is all 4 members making a collaborative album like Meddle or Dark Side of the Moon again. Let Waters handle the concepts and lyrics, but let all 4 of them write music and all of them (except maybe Nick) sing lead vocals.

Y'know, it DOES seem that Rick ended up singing lead vocals on Floyd's final performance! It's a sad fact that the performance of Arnold Layne looks almost certain to have been the last performance under the name "Pink Floyd" ever.

Regardless, after the asinine way that the cameras ignored Rick during the Live 8 performance, it's nice that PF went out with him on lead vocals.
Y'know... I wonder if that was Rick's last performance too?

and the worst thing (at least where I am in Canada), is that DURING THEIR SET they cut to that pathetic excuse for a human being Ben Mulroney doing his stupid commentary
