As if Pink Floyd fans didn’t have enough to celebrate this week, Roger Waters and David Gilmour reunited in London on Thursday night for a performance of The Wall‘s “Comfortably Numb”. The news was first revealed on Gilmour’s blog, which added that the performance “is most definitely a one-off; David is not repeating his special guest performance at a later occasion, I’m sorry to disappoint those of you with fingers crossed and tickets for later shows.” Don’t get too bummed out, though, as the performance was being filmed “so that it may be posted on various websites.”

Pink Floyd's “Wish You Were Here” is one of the best songs ever written

Floyd made some good music, but is was not as good as the albums.....impossible to recreate. I will be happy with old copies myself

Dave Gilmour championed Kate Bush´s rise in the 80s. Present at the creation, as it were.

I got goosebumps seeing Gilmour and Wright (RIP) do ‘Echoes’ in its’ entirety during the “On An Island” Tour.

One reason I will not dispose of my old Ipod... I have everything on it. Flashing back to Aerosmith’s “Big eyed cats” after doing too much Floyd. The wife is... pleased... or peeved... or whatever.

I never knew the hatred Gilmour has for Waters until I watched some Pink Floyd documentaries on Netflix. Despise, is probably to kind of a word for it, especially for what Waters did to Wright just added to it.

Some of my favorite Gilmour work was when he backed Pete Townshend on the “White City” tour, especially on the song “Give Blood.” Now you talk about a “We’re Not Worthy” pairing right there.

Joan Jett’s “fetish” would be a big hit amongst this community... Or maybe not so much...

Tis music to my ears for sure. As Gilmour once said. It’s not the note you play that count, it’s the ones you don’t.

I have a friend who follows Floyd like they are Jesus Christ incarnate. Seriously...
