And so what? Are we fans supposed to start quarrels where (I hope) between the Floyd it seems to have ended? It's up to them, not us. And I hope they will reunite. It is not about making the Pink Floyd group again, it is about just a single one, two, three... actions, or maybe even a tour if they went that far, then splitting back again to their own lives and projects. Pink Floyd is a legend, and it should be left a legend. But to see the legend alive once more, for a short time, will be really something a true fan would appreciate.

But arguments *haven't* ended between the band. They had a temporary, four-song set at Live 8, in which David vetoed all Roger's ideas (starting with In The Flesh, playing Another Brick pt 2, and having backing singers). Hence Rogers 'rolling over' quote.
However, to do anything more- even a whole concert- there'd be all sorts of issues. Roger would naturally try to take control of what is now David's ship... would they play anything off Division Bell and Momentary Lapse... if they did they'd have to do something off Amused To Death...
It's all so complicated.
David HAS made conciliatory moves before - asking Roger to play Dark Side at Earls Courl in 94, inviting Roger to his 50th birthday. It's ironic that David has never been further from wanting a Pink Floyd reunion, as he's happy doing his solo thing, now Roger is FINALLY dropping his anger etc.
But the ball is firmly in David's court, and a Pink Floyd reunion makes no sense for him - especially after the big success of On An Island. Why would he compromise the tidy, clean Division Bell/Live 8 ending of Pink Floyd that he'd worked so hard to achieve?

Roger should not have said that he was never really friends with the rest of the band. I don' t think they would have the success that they had if they really hated eachother. I think they should put all there differences behind them, because life is to short. They have already lost one founding member. How many more have to die before they can let all the ill feelings go. :rocker: :hammers:

I think they were really friends and it just pains them all to admit that they lost each other through stupid quarreling. On the backstage scenes on 'Live at Pompeii' you can quite clearly see that they were a very friendly group of people that got on well with each other.

No they wouldn't. It's not a PF album.
If I went to a Pink Floyd concert, I wouldn't expect any material from Amused to Death, any more than I'd expect anything from On An Island or Broken China.

I agree.
It would be a bit of a shock to hear the solo music in a floyd concert

Fair enough, but can you see Roger playing anything off Momentary or Division after absolutely slagging them off repeatedly??
And can you see David agreeing to completely ignore them and not play them??

Even if they did play songs off AMLOR and TDB it wouldn't entitle Roger to play stuff off of his solo albums. The songs off of the albums mentioned are still Pink Floyd.

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.
Nonetheless, the chances are insanely low that they will play again, in my opinion.

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?
