PinkFloyd for life. hmpff.

listening to last kiss by pearl jam

Before i brag 'bout PF, a note to the greatest band EVER: Thank you d00ds for bringing goosebumps to my arms and a lump in my throat and making an ugly girl's heart sing and for the most special and best reunions of all times. Your reunion is prolly the most historic event in rock and roll in the last three decades. Even if you never do this again, you will rule forever.

Bassist - Roger Waters.

Waters and Gilmour on stage I thought it would never happen again until i saw the four of 'em on stage because no one was willing to come down from their ivory towers and let people kiss their asses! Un-fucking-believable, with how stubborn Roger is I can't believe that finally happened. Got a little choked up when Roger mentioned Syd before "Wish You Were Here". Damnit, how often do you see old men litrelly rocking on stage? =D

Ummm... but one thing that was kind of not good was that of the four songs they performed, three of them were songs featuring Gilmour on lead vocals. PinkFloyd catalog is FULL of songs where Waters sings lead, but for a worldwide audience egomaniac had to push Waters and sing three of the songs. At least there was a little Waters stuff in 'Wish You Were Here' and then of course he got to do 'Comfortably Numb'. Roger was mouthing alot of the words while dave sang - he was very into it. I was looking forward to Waters vocals but damn Gilmour =/. This was the setlist:

Breathe
Money
Wish You Were Here
Comfortably Numb

Waters actually smiled while he was playing. And it was him who gathered the rest of the group for the final bow center stage.

Now this is what i call PinkFloyd. A poster in the audience summed it up: Floyd's reunion - Pigs are flying!

Waters said: A Floyd reunion is "highly unlikely" but "never say never." Will hang onto this phrase for the rest of my life until he dies.

Here you can view the rest of the photos.

Here you can see the re-broadcast of live 8.

Here you can join the 25 million people who have signed the live8 list. Lets just not forget the cause behind the whole thing.

A lot of performances by other people were kickass such as U2, Dido, The who, Stereophonics, Madonna, Snoop Dogg but i was totally blown away by PF's performance. Everybody played their part well. They all did it right! But i think metallica should've been there too!

P.S, Thank you God for televisions! And for the patience to let me sit infront of the damned tv for 10 hours straight!

P.P.S, If you think pink floyd is not unique and go like 'pssssssst, whats the big deal'. You can just take your head out of your ass, eat shit, and die.
