  • 00:23 is it just me or was David playing the beginning of Whole Lotta love?

  • at 5:59 is someone bursting into great gig in the sky? or just screaming!!! hehe

  • hubiera dado lo que sea por estar viendolos de esa manera!!! en especial a richard wright

  • thought gilmour was going to rip into sorrow at the start, that would have been good, heres a song for ya roger!

  • Gilmour throwing in some on the turning away solo for dramatci effect. haha!

  • just to make it clear, "Sid" Barrett was spelt "Syd" with a y

  • loving Sorrow at the start!

  • RIP Rick :( I'm sure he's composing amazing pieces of music up in The Great Gig in the Sky.

  • @tigerfan1984 Long Live SID! The greatest diamond of them all!!! If it wern't for his demise, do u think PF would have written some of the greatest music ever?

  • @tigerfan1984 well, if u want to include Sid, it WASNT a true reunion. but great anyways

  • Gilmour makes me proud to own a strat. Listen to that fucking TONE FROM HEAVEN...BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • It's a sad irony when musicians like Pink Floyd, that create such harmony on stage, can't get along harmoniously off stage.

  • I love that Roger wanted to do other songs and David, Richard and Nick shot him straight down. "..We're gonna play these songs, and if you'd like to join us, that would be lovely.."

  • haha. I love how they started to play freebird for a minute there.

  • @jaruel37 Wrong. Roger didn't want to perform songs from his solo career. He was quite happy with the songs proposed by David, yet he wanted to include 'Another Brick in the Wall, Pt.' in the performance. David and the other band members were against the idea for 'Live 8' is favor of worldwide education and the song just wouldn't have fit.

  • roger had some weak vocals that aren't improving

  • WATCHING THIS SOUNDCHECK I HAVE NOTICE GILMOUR AND WATERS AVOIDED EACH OTHER ???? dose anyone else see this !

  • @pshphx I thought the same, it is clearly to see.

  • @pshphx well they weren't friends when they did this, they just did it for the cause

  • what downs me is that without rick wright,there will be no more floyd.F?CK!

  • @gibsongold1970 couldn't agree more,,,and a lot of people know that dave double tracked his voice, but on some wall lessons about a seemingly match to dave was rick vocally,,,,,gust think on it

  • damn i wonder where the footage is from the Live8 camera crew during this. 0.o

  • i rly dnt think this is, looks more like a personal

  • Sounded a bit like 'On the turning away' solo in David's soundcheck at the beginning.

  • WOW!!!!! They r gonna get together again and I will be there!!!! You are so lucky!!! I just went to see Roger Waters in NYC! Roger Waters just amazing .He was just awesome... I think the whole thing with David Gilmour is not only, that he is just an Amazing guitar player but also because we all want the so call "original".....

  • @anacristina1974 no chance

  • @666767 Well, I was hoping for them to do it. Some charity event or something like that. I heard the rumor. I hope it happens. I'll ask Roger Waters ;-)

  • I know they hadn't played together in 25 years, but it still feels weird to think of guys like these needing rehearsal. I mean, obviously all musicians need to rehearse (and maybe these guys (um, Roger) actually could have done with just a little more), but these are my rock icons, and seeing them do the same kind of sound checks I do with my cover band makes them more... less... I dunno -- like the rest of us.

    Thanks for posting!

  • Was that Dick on sax?

  • @AverageBudgetFilms

    Yes, he is.

  • 02:17 - i thought Roger started to play dark globe

  • where did you get that video?

  • LOL @ whoever said Syd wasn't really a member of Pink Floyd. He was the founding member of the band and named it! There wouldn't be a Pink Floyd without his contributions. Syd was pretty much the subject of most of Pink Floyd's albums after his departure.

  • To the folks commenting about Syd...Yeah, he was so unimportant that the band wrote an entire album about him. Holy crap are some of you dumb.

  • Ha listen up until 2:05

    Gilmour = emotional, playing, playing well known tunes and huge leads

    Waters = "Ploddy ploddy plod plod plod. Dum dum dum dum budum..."

    Don't get me wrong, Roger is a MUSICAL GENIUS but when it comes to the bass, ummmmm... there are better players.

  • @smelliot95 Actually Dave writes most of the bass tracks in the songs...so its most likely Dave that made that one

  • Floyds was definetly starting to rule when Syd was gone and David joins in :) Gilmour is the heart of floyd, roger was the brain.

  • Though I bought a DVD of the televised performance, I believe two other songs were cut for time??

  • worlds greatest sound check by the worlds greatest band

  • The audio is heavily back

  • The Best Band!

  • What was the set list that Roger Waters wanted to play that got vetoed?

  • @DasGoldenBoy I seem to remember Roger wanting to play a couple of his solo songs. I think he wanted them to play Perfect Sense pt 1 &2 as well as Flickering Flame.

  • @jaruel37 What a putz, twenty some years since their last time as the four man Floyd and he pulled that stunt.

  • @DasGoldenBoy I believe in an interview Rick stated that David told Roger, "They've asked Pink Floyd to play and we're going to play these songs; if you'd like to play with us great."

  • @jaruel37 ROger quit PF in 1985 so officially he was out of the group. The record company dropped him for the group per ROger's request.

  • @jaruel37 It would have been ridiculous if htey had played Waters solo songs. It would have been such an incredible waste of time of these four guys with the limited playing time.

  • @Xiolablu3 Yes, it would've been ridiculous for them to play any Waters solo songs. I couldn't believe he asked the band to play anything from his solo repetoire. To Roger's when the rest of the band said, "They've asked Pink Floyd to play, and we're going to play these songs.  If you want to play with us great."

  • It does one good to see Roger and Rick cheerfully chatting away. Why oh why did all that crap have to happen? The waste :-((

  • ,,didn't Roger kick Rick out half way through the recording session of The Wall ?

  • @PupuTheClown Alas, yes. It seems Nick and David agreed Rick was not doing his share (apparently due to personal problems) not that they wanted him actually kicked out. A compromise was reached that Rick would play as a session musician which he did for a long time until he was officially reinstated years later (long after Roger had left). At the time very few people were aware of this. During the 1988 Momentary Lapse of Reason tour, Rick was still a session musician which is sort of surreal.

  • Cool video, I'm spreading my animation videos

  • God Bless Syd!

  • At 3:55, it kind of sounds like he is playing the intro to the Beatles' A Day in the Life...

  • SITE ORQUIDHEA youtube. OBRIGADO

  • Amazing how they can still rock so many years later.

  • RIP Rick :( but Pink Floyd will live forever !!!

  • 06:56 ; the ghost of SID ...

  • Dave tried a bit of On The Turning away in the begining.

  • And in front of Roger too! Heh heh heh!

  • The ultimate pre-show bootleg.Who took the footage? Was it a Roady

  • god i wish i could lip read at 4:12

  • Me too !!!! (Maybe Richard told Roger: Man If you woudnt call Dave we wouldnt be here , the 4 all together!! and Roger said I dont know Rick but I really think tonight its gonna be like in the old days)

  • tks!!!!

  • The worlds best Soundcheck....

  • @irishelk1 Well, One of them anyway!.

  • love it...........

  • I mean Flickering Flame :-)

  • Roger plays Flickering Fame at 2:40

  • This gig is the biggest musical sensation so far this millenium.

  • @LordPansar I beg to differ sir, the Led Zep reunion concert is.

  • what is roger singing at 2:40 ?

  • no. he left in 1985 and i dont know what's that has to do with my question...

  • "The black one... isn't it? - DG. David asks his guitar tech, Phil Taylor, for advice whether to use that guitar or his Red Strat. Good call on the Black Strat...going back to the good ol' days.

  • i felt sorrow for these guys why they havent got reunited for 20 years. its a lost to the pink floyd fans.

  • what solo dave played? for sorrow?

    and I think this is the best list for their live8 show

    1.breathe

    2.shine on

    3.wish you

    4.pig

    5.comf numb

  • Roger spoke to Rick ?? 04:15

    amazing view, after reading the feud they make at the time of 'Animal' and beyond..

  • David Gilmour is the man, heart and soul of Pink Floyd

  • after 2.30 Roger is playing Flickering Flame

  • @mariosapm your correct that just shows you much of a big headed fuck roger is no wonder gilmour fucking hates him

  • Sounded like whole lotta love at :23

  • is that dick perry on sax?

  • Dick PARRY, himself.

  • love it when Rog starts to play flickering flame. Always liked to do his own thing. This was the nuts when he done it at the albert hall with full orchestra.

  • Imagine if David Gilmour grew a ZZ Top beard.

  • ....

    barret was barret, Waters is waters, Pink Floyd was David,rick,roger,nik

    sei un vero ignorante...

  • Wrong, Pink Floyd was Syd, David, Roger, Rick and Nick.

    and they where and still are the greatest band ever.

    Shine on.

  • @lullo456

    Sure...Syd barret was one of its founders. But he get way to much (overrated) credit, half the crap he recorded had to be redone by Gilmore. Not to mention the first albums (i have them aal since 1967 or so) were utterly crap way to experimental. Compared to Gilmore, Syd was just a shorttime in the band.

    WE do agree one thing tho, bands likes these are timeless. I knw for sure for the the bands that night this was a true honor to witness.

  • @muziekfreak1980 Syd was the whole band! It was a psychedelic genious !!!

  • @orestiano

    Sorry wrong, pink floyd iff syd was still in it you would not have liked them at all.

    Want proof get ALL there albums mainly the ones were Syd is in. Utterly crap even for the most die hard pinky fans i know off (That even love crappy bootleg recordings) plus FACT Roger waters IS/WAS the leading figure seen the fact he wrote 90% of the songs you and i love so much.

    Syd...overrated sorry founder or not..he did not make pink floyd what it was.

  • @muziekfreak1980

    regardless of what pink floyd era, is your favorite..

    without syd barrett, there is no pink floyd, as you or i know it.

    plain and simple.

  • @SymphonicDelight what you say is 100% as it never was a discussion about the roots of pink floyd. There for that argument is not relevant to whats been said.

    Te reaction was based on "Syd was the WHOLE band" thats been discussed ;)

  • @muziekfreak1980

    oh, well yeah, that doesn't make much sense then.

    i do have to disagree the albums with syd are utter crap, though. saucer is alright, but piper at the gates of dawn is an awesome album, not to mention some of the singles they cut in the earlier days were great too, see emily play, arnold layne, gigolo aunt. It's no ANIMALS or MEDDLE, but i have to strongly disagree. It's not utter crap.

  • @muziekfreak1980 You do know the Pinkfloyd consulted with Syd on numerous occasions with help on lyrics right? Syd was a poet and a dam good one at that. With no syd there was no good lyrics.

  • @muziekfreak1980 Don't talk such way about Syd, he is the founder, all the music is inspired by what he did, and he did not create crap, he set the stage for Prog rock basically.

  • @MetallicBill

    Thank god for freedom of speech. I FIND that Syd is overrated as a ARTIST do you even own all there work? Readup on how much HAS to be REDONE because syd was in a other universe playing a FALSE guitar on regular occasions....

    Yah he was founder kudos, did he make it what is was? SORRY NO!

  • @muziekfreak1980 In a way he did make Floyd what it was, however, to different degrees one can point to, Syd was someone who's very persona rubbed off on all the Floyd members. I think he deserved more in light of his death, a memorial program to document his life better, for future music fans and fans over all. He's hardly over rated, I can't see that being the case. I liked early Floyd, but my favorite era is mid 1970s. Wish You Were Here is very much a magnificent ode to Syd!

  • @lullo456 Who are you calling 'Wrong' ? so ten months ago. Who ?

  • @eldorado61guy it was at lo7angus

  • @lullo456 You tube is giving me the word puzzles. Fuck them.

  • @lullo456: You do realize David Gilmore - replaced- Syd Barret...?

  • @herbpicotte yeah, but the guy i responded to said that Syd wasn't really a member of pink floyd or something, what i want to say is, that he also made some great work before he left and gilmore replaced him

  • @herbpicotte Its spelled GILMOUR. The greatest!!!!!

  • @lullo456 - David was Syd's replacement, just to be accurate. Your statement makes it sound a bit like Syd and David were in the band at the same time. Not true.

  • @Mooseboy08 you're like the 4th one who fails to understand my statement.

    Pink Floyd With Syd still in it was great, and Pink Floyd with David in it was great, that's what i mean, however since David 'replaced' Syd the music wasn't really the same 'trippy' style anymore

  • @lullo456 - If four people misunderstood your statement, it wasn't very clear, was it?

  • @Mooseboy08 seems like 32 other people did understand it

  • @lullo456 So an eighth of your audience misinterpreted what you said. Those aren't very good odds when you're talking about communication. Anyway, no big deal. One thing that this proves for sure... we PF fans are VERY passionate!

  • @Mooseboy08 Actually, I think they were in the band together for a short period of time. They were both on the second album "A Saucerful of Secrets" and I'm pretty sure they shared the stage for about 5 Floyd shows before Syd was forced out. I read this in one of the books about the band.

  • @SRMoore1178 "Around the beginning of 1968, guitarist Dave Gilmour, a friend of the band who was also from Cambridge, was brought in as a fifth member. The idea was that Gilmour would enable the Floyd to continue as a live outfit; Barrett would still be able to write and contribute to the records. That couldn't work either, and within a few months Barrett was out of the group."

    I stand corrected!

  • @Mooseboy08 Syd and gilmour continued to work on Syds albums later on..

  • @naneux - that's interesting. And btw, is your screen name a reference to "Mork and Mindy"?

  • @Mooseboy08 lol nah man.... gilmour played drums for barrett on a few tracks.

  • @Mooseboy08 Gilmour played drums for barrett on a few tracks

  • @naneux

    DAvid Gilmour and also Roger Waters as well: both helped on The madcap laughs, while only Gilmour helped Syd in the second album(Barrett), where he was completely out of control... Waters could not cope with Syd at that stage

  • Comment removed

  • @lullo456 Wrong, it's were not where... lol

  • ti stimo!!!!!!!!!i pink foyd sono i pink floyd e nn sono fatti di nomi ma di emozioni!!!!

  • AHAH! Look Dave watching the crow with the hands on the back like an old man at the park!

  • I wish they would have thrown an old school bone out... Pre-DSOTM that is... They were so great in LAPP with just the four of them... They missed a golden opportunity to ditch the accompaniment and make a real statement...

    That's 'Dark Side of the Moon" and 'Live at Pompeii' respectively for those in the slow...

  • rick seemed happy talking with roger!

  • que lujaso poder visto la prueba de sonido del mejor grupo del universo.

    gracias por subirlo

    salud y amor

  • Roger was a great songwriter but he was kind of a dick later on.

  • Great!

  • Why did rick die, why!!!!

  • Gilmour and Waters are both pink floyd..

  • ok, i agree with you! but, i think this is part of the real magic of the band's sound, and makes it so different than the others..

  • you are absolutely not a die hard floyd fan, and i think your'e ego is the biggest!!!

    You are the riff raff in the room ;)

  • i hate u so much...

  • cheers you nugget

  • Hem... Man... Yes, Pink Floyd would have been such missing a quite great thing without Gilmour.

    But... I mean... Who wrote the songs?... Like "Fuck off, Gilmour's the greatest, check out the first vocals & the lead guitar on Hey You!"... Yeah but, for fuck's sake, Waters Wrote the bloody song.

    Stop just putting down one member or another. Pink Floyd quite "sucked" without Waters, and if Amused to Death was a record by "Pink Floyd" without Dave, I wouldn't like it neither.

  • if waters BIG ego had not got the better of him he would still of been a member of floyd am telling you without gilmour floyd were fucked did you no waters wanted to make the band make a album using household like pots and pans etc i think waters solo material is brill but without gilmour there would be no PINK FLOYD

  • You know, the Household Objects album project was held back in 1973-74 if I remember well. And the whole band got involved in it, especially Nick Mason due to his interest towards, you know, recording/sound tricks (he was quite a good producer, hence Rock Bottom). AND, back in 1973/74, Waters wasn't quite like "I'm the band". This was later.

    If Floyd is fucked without Gilmour... Oh what the fucking hell, just listen to A Momentary Lapse of Reason!

  • i do often but if you listen to the solos of the dark side of the moon who else could come up with that magic we get to listen to and why does waters only sing the last two songs on that album every one of gilmour solos on every album is out of this world if gilmour had been with waters on his solo projects how much better would they been

  • I think I totally agree with this last comment. Let me just bring a couple of things that I think have to be said. If Waters didn't sing everything on Dark Side, it's because, even if He had written All the songs and a lot of the main music, he was Very, Very shy when it came to singing and didn't feel at ease with his voice at all, untill 1977. And, of course, Gilmour was just THE MAN for Pink Floyd's guitar sound. But Roger was a Great lyricist and composer. That's what made Floyd so Floyd.

  • but thats the thing gilmour not just a guitar sound as we clearly hear on all albums i think we are both stuck in were on own ways am bitter against roger because i think us of deprived us of the real pink floyd we should of heard for years and years

  • Gilmour has a great voice too, of course. But when it comes to composition, he's not as prolific/good as Waters. Waters NEVER prevented Anyone from composing. It's just that Dave didn't compose much, Rick composed some "crappy things" (even Gilmour said it), and Nick wasn't into composition. It's not Roger's fault, it's just a thing that had to happen. Let's just be happy for what Both Roger And David gave us for years and years. :)

  • i agree with you 100% on that buddy

  • Well, if "Us and them" and "Great Gig in the Sky" are crappy things...

    Not to mention Rick's solo stuff, like Breakthrough

  • Lets put an end to this fucking aurguement there all pink floyd including syd and david and richard and roger and nick

  • Where is that video?

  • David DEFINITLEY gave PF the feel that Breathe and Echoes embody.

  • thanks! pretty interesting!!

  • Omg! Roger is playing the flickering flame!! =D while gilmour is standing there. to anyone who doesnt know the lyrics to that song. the last verse is "When my ego lets go of its end of the bone, to focus instead on the love that is precious to me." =D i have a feeling rog wanted gilmour to hear that.

  • roger was very aware his own wall was causing separation

  • get the tears in that moment is not for all..... forever and ever Pink Floyd.... when I hear this music my heart have a different beat. thanks for all English guys......

  • Comment removed

  • I don't know why most of the people remember Roger as the song writer, but my two favorite songs Remember a Day and The Great gig in the Sky by Rick.

    Whoever says that Roger was the only one who writes songs is because haven't listened other works aside The Wall.

  • all contributed but roger wrote 67,3 % of all.

  • Of all what? Roger is a great lyricist but you should know that the others make their part too.

    He once said that he found odd they let him get away with the lyrics of Dark side of the Moon. That means thata even he thought he was doing all the work. It wouldn't be the same without Nick, Rick and Dave.

    Believing that one is the one who worked more is what make the band tear apart. It's a useless dicussion. Since Pink Floyd was formed by four wonderful musicians.

  • I can't see a Pink Floyd video, in Live 8, without crying. It's fantastic this moment that they're togheter again, in years!

    I mean.. it's so awsome

    and sad, cause this won't happen again!

    GOD, IT WON'T!

    Rick, rest in peace men!!!

  • dave had a lyric in a song where he implies roger told him politely to go f**k himself. whether they've mended fences or not is anyones guess, but i agree that perhaps only guest appearances on individual works are all we're going to be left with. i too find roger's work more interesting compared to the remaining PF....or as i like to call it...the david gilmour band............oops........so­rry guys!

  • life is too short to have petty grudges after someone passes it is too late

  • i've always liked roger better. i think he's more artistically talented than anyone in the band. rick was the musician, roger was the lyricist.

    he may have played a part by "leaving the band" as the others put it but david definitely has kept them apart.

    RIP Rick

    RIP Syd

  • they all had their parts

    roger was the best bassist

    david was the best guitarist

    rick was the best pianist

    nick was the best drummer

    i must agree after all that roger is a bester lyrics writer; the song i like the most are written by him (except comfortably numb maybe <3)

  • Lots of bad blood between David and Roger. They don't even like to look at each other.God love them both for the music they've given us.

  • vid and audio outta sync

  • Video molto suggestivo!

  • we are doing this (london blitz)in drama. when was it?
