It is gradually getting better now though.

Ten years ago none of them wanted to reunite, now we have Nick, Rick and, apparently, Roger. We just have to be patient and it will eventually come. :;):

I personally think that roger would do miracles if he got with the group again, and it would be a dream come true. I also think that David Gilmour (as much as I respect him) is holding the band back. If it weren't for him then pink floyd might be producing new albums right now. Maybe david just isn't ready to just give the band back to roger. live 8 must've gotten them to get over some bad feelings, but I dunno.....

The New York Daily News reported today (3/14/07):

"A source says The Police, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd -including Roger Waters" have signed up to play Al Gore's Live Earth Concert on 7/07/07.

Roger Waters will be on the North American portion of his tour. He is in Boston 2 days later. Hopefully Pink Floyd will unite at the North American Live Earth show.
Is there any evidence?

And also, I am pretty sure ifthey had agreed to it they would play at Hyde Park again and not in North America.

I just realised that it is at Wembley and I put Hyde Park! :p

Dave will never give the band back to Roger. Even if they reunited for a tour and an album. Roger walked his own plank so it's Daves band now and it will be Daves band untill the end of time.

why do people talk about Gilmour"..giving the band back to Roger..."why does any one of them own the band. pink floyd was 1st Syd then Gilmour, Waters, Mason ,and Wright. not just david gilmour or just roger waters. im not even sure how the name was still used after they split ways. but all of that is meaningless conversation. the possibility of them doing another show together is enough or should be enough to make any fan gitty. if they dont feel this way then they should...pink floyd should be about the music the emotion the power behind the lyrics. not gilmours ego or waters' ego. i just dont get it. but i also dont know the complete reason for the split to begin with. i have had somewhat of an explanation given to me but i want to know the whole story. can anyone enlighten me?? lltw

But it's not quite as simple as that is it, fishbowl01?

Gilmour, Wright & Mason DO 'own' the name Pink Floyd- Roger doesn't, although he has a vote and share in their financial interests.

It IS about Gilmour 'letting go' of the Floyd - when Roger Waters left the band in the early 1980s, after years of increasing domination and dictatorship, he took Gilmour & Mason (Wright had been kicked out largely by Roger during making of The Wall) to court in an attempt to stop them touring under the name 'Pink Floyd'.

In effect, Roger wanted to retire the name. Quite rightly in my opinion, legal advice suggested that Roger had legally left the band, and as such ownership and the right to continue using it would revert to Dave & Nick, and the case settled out of court. Roger got ownership of certain pieces of Floyd iconography, such as the pig and The Wall's visuals.

Rick Wright joined the band on wages for A Momentary Lapse, and as a full member for the Division Bell.

As it stands, the legal owners of the name Pink Floyd right now are Dave, Nick & Rick.

So why should Roger walk back in, after the others have done valuable work since, especially after he attempted to curtail the others' career, and has rubbished everything to do with the post-83 Floyd since he left? I'm a HUGE Roger fan, but he LEFT the Floyd, tried to sue the others, has rubbished them continually ever since.

Thus, Gilmour especially is being stubborn in not suddenly wanting Roger back after he has protected and furthered the Floyd since the mid-1980s. Gilmour, in many ways, became the Floyd when Roger left, and he's not going to give that up, now that Roger has suddenly decided to make conciliatory remarks after years of mud-slinging!
