Pink Floyd Live 8, 2005 part.1-Breathe

Pink Floyd's classic lineup of Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright will perform for the first time in more than 20 years at the London Live 8 concert. The event, which aims to increase world awareness of African debt and hunger issues, will be held July 2 at the city's Hyde Park.

Pink Floyd has not performed live since the 1994 tour in support of its last studio album, "The Division Bell." Waters has not been a part of the band since 1983, and his dealings with Gilmour have been rancorous in the ensuing years. Waters even sued Gilmour, unsuccessfully, for touring under the Pink Floyd name without him following the band's initial split after the album "The Final Cut."

"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," Gilmour writes on Pink Floyd's official Web site. "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."

they took awesomeness and made it an album

Dave Gilmour was a lucky bleeder by the way.

He was basically just a roadie until Syd Barrett left. He was a child hood friend of Syd and Roger, who just tagged along with them on tour

[DmitriiReiss]

YES, YES, YES!!!!!!! THAT`S WHAT MAKES THE EVENING DUSK TO COLOURFUL!!!

I remember watching this! couldn't believe it was all of them together again!!! you had to think about that several times to start believing this dream came true and was REAL

[edifer10]

eu imagino como Dave e o Roger Nick e o Richard deveriam esta muito emocionados.

this show must have been very exciting, as I would like to be on this show, it would be a unique experience, all FLOYD together.

You know, life is a funny thing. If Gilmour had never met Syd or Roger, he'd probably have just lived his life in a normal way.

Instead, he's worth about $400 million, and one of the worlds great guitarists..............

You know, I can play guitar and sing as good as him. I just didn't go to school with, errr, Mick Jagger

Live 8 truly sucked ass until this moment.
