Pink Floyd fans dream?

Post by Arnold Layne »

I'm sure you'll all aware of the smidgen of a possibilty of a Waters/Gilmour/Mason/Wright "Reunion", and tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the "Wish you were here" album, a reliable source also informs me that Roger Waters & David Gilmour, are now back on speaking terms! after almost 20 years!, with the ?150 million gross that's expected from huge open air gigs too much for them to turn down...fingers crossed eh guys?

Rumour update!

Knebworth being looked at for a likely outdoor venue

as the largest audience the Floyd played to was there in 1975, on the British 74/75 tour.

Bloody great, why not play a gig in the North, or shock horror even Scotland?

Still a reformation is still good news.

Just be thankul it won't be Earsl court again, or worse still Wembley Arena, saw Steely Dan there on there last tour, years ago, worst fucking venue I've ever been to, some poor bastards sat behind me at Pink Floyd Earlscourt 19/10/94 decided to skin up before the show started, and ended up being escorted out, they should have waited as when the show was in progress, the smoke effect above the crowd wasn't coming from the stage effects

You may be right Stevey, but something I couldn't comment on, as I can't recal, maybe Ghostdog, Rude boy etc could answer?
