Roger Waters to play with Pink Floyd July 2, 2005

[yaqisworld]

It was confirmed today that Roger Waters will join Pink Floyd to perform at the Live8 concert in Hyde Park on 2nd July.

David Gilmour made the following statement:
"Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world. It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations. Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then it's got to be worthwhile."

I can't believe Geldof was able to pull this off!! And in such a short amount of time to prepare, I sure hope this leads to bigger and better things 😀 The show MUST go on!

I heard bout this last week in a non Floyd related music forum im at (surprisingly!), wish I was in the UK! Im sure we'll have an album, DVD or at least bootleggs in both formats to be able to somewhat experience it

Oh God~If ANYONE could have pulled this off, it's Bobby Geldoff. By some huge miracle I got to catch the London version of Live Aid, an event that literally changed my life.
