Pink Floyd Rumors

[Spacey]

Rumor has it that Pink Floyd with Roger Waters might be getting back together for a US reunion tour. Story was found on Fox News, so I do not know if it is true or credible. But here is the link anyways;

Pink Floyd Reunion

As "Rock Star: INXS" contestant Marty Kasey kicked butt last week with his rendition of “Wish You Were Here,” (he’s still my favorite to win the job of lead singer for INXS), intel from my sources within rock \'n\' roll circles is that Pink Floyd (search), including lead singer Roger Waters, may be coming to the U.S. for a reunion concert tour.

This news is sure to set Floyd fans in a frenzy of anticipation. It’s been years since “The Wall” group performed together, and a reunion concert tour will surely challenge The Rolling Stones\' dominance in the classic rock arenas.

Stay tuned.

there were talks of this about a month ago, i know they played together at that Live 8 (im pretty sure?) and it was supposedly a smooth ride.. as for challenging the Stones, thats like Mike Tyson circa \'86 fighting my mom....... i hope at least, fuck the Stones, ive never been a fan

At Live 8 they said it was "highly unlikely" that they would tour again.  They didnt straight out say NO, so maybe....Would be sweet

This isn\'t a rumor, but I didn\'t care to make a new thread for this:

After you finish feasting on turkey this Thanksgiving, head down to the basement with your cool cousins to  watch a full day of Pink Floyd programming on VH-1 Classic. Highlights include David Gilmour - Live in Gdansk at noon, The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story at 5PM, The Pink Floyd Story - Which One is Pink? at 8PM and The Wall at 9:30.

Rare Pink Floyd footage is found
The BBC:
 
Syd Barrett (third left) left Pink Floyd in 1967
Rare footage of Syd Barrett singing with Pink Floyd on the BBC One music show Top Of The Pops has been discovered after more than 40 years.

The damaged footage of the band playing See Emily Play has been restored and will now be screened for the first time since its initial 1967 broadcast.

Barrett, who died in 2006, left the group a year after it was recorded.

The British Film Institute will show the footage at its Missing Believed Wiped annual event on 9 January.

The Pink Floyd performance, on a one-inch, reel-to-reel tape, was discovered in a private collection.

It features two editions of TOTP from 6 and 27 July 1967, hosted by the late DJ Alan Freeman.

Steve Bryant, senior curator at the BFI, said: "This is an enormously significant discovery that will generate huge interest amongst music fans all over the world, even though the surviving material is in poor condition.

"Footage of Pink Floyd from this era is extremely rare."

BFI staff were "thrilled to have been given the opportunity to restore this recording, as much as has been possible, so that people can get a sense of this legendary appearance", he added.

TV recordings were often dumped or wiped in the 1960s and 1970s due to tape storage issues.

Roger Waters to take The Wall on tour in 2010-2011

I can\'t believe I am the one who started this thread.

Would be something to see Waters take that show on the road. Probably get a show at the Rent in East Hartford.
