![]() Photos from the May 12 performance of Roger Waters - The Wall Live concert are available from The Press Association and Reuters. Roger Waters - The Wall Live, which won Major Tour of 2010 at the prestigious Pollstar Awards earlier this year, is currently on a 64 date sold-out tour of Europe: six dates at the O2 Arena London followed by three at the MSN in Manchester and one at the NIA in Birmingham make up the English leg. (In 2010, Gilmour had promised to perform "Comfortably Numb" at one of the concerts on Waters' then-upcoming The Wall Live tour if Waters agreed to join him playing "To Know Him Is To Love Him" at the Hoping Foundation gig). In 2011, Pink Floyds David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters had a special reunion of sorts at Londons O2 arena where they performed their classic. The fact that his and Sean Evans’ film ‘Us and Them,’ which has just gone out digitally for streaming everywhere, is not mentioned.NEW YORK, /PRNewswire/ - David Gilmour, making good a pledge he made last year to Roger Waters at the Hoping Foundation Charity concert, joined Waters on-stage on Thursday, May 12 for a much-anticipated and historic performance of "Comfortably Numb" during Waters' sold-out The Wall Live Concert at London's O2 Arena. ‘And yet we don’t get to hear about anything that Roger’s doing,” Waters said, now speaking in the third person, “or about ‘This is Not a Drill’, or when he makes a piece of work, it’s not shown, and so on and so forth. Roger Waters ist bekannt dafür, eine Person großer Worte zu sein. But there have been rumblings and grumblings in the ranks I’m told by friends of mine who follow these things, and some of the questions being asked are: ‘Why do we have to sit and watch Polly Samson for year after year, month after month, day after day, and the von Trapps reading us excerpts from their novels to get us to go to sleep at night?’ And that’s a very good question.” David Gilmour joined old band mate Roger Waters on stage tonight at London’s O2 Arena to perform in Roger Waters’ epic tour of The Wall. I think he thinks that because I left the band in 1985, that he owns Pink Floyd, that he is Pink Floyd, that I’m irrelevant and I should just keep my mouth shut,” Waters claimed. However, Gilmour apparently disagreed with Waters’ perspective. It bore no fruit, I’m sorry to say,” he explained.Įditor's Pick 10 Progressive Rock Concept Albums Every Music Fan Should Own “About a year ago, I convened a sort of Camp David for the surviving members of Pink Floyd at a hotel at the airport in London, where I proposed all kinds of measures to get past this awful impasse that we have and predicament that we find ourselves in. Waters went on to relay additional details about the failed peace summit. I am banned by David Gilmour from the website.” “Well, the answer to that is because nothing from me is on the website. “It does bring up the question of why is this video not available on a website that calls itself the Pink Floyd website?” Waters remarked in a response video uploaded Monday night (via Variety). However, much like his previous videos, Waters’ performance of Pink Floyd’s “Mother” received no mention on the band’s website or social media channel. Over the weekend, Waters released his latest in a string of socially distant performance videos. ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, it seems things have managed to get worse since then. Waters said the experience reminded him of why he left Pink Floyd in the first place and quickly dismissed the idea of a post-COVID reunion as something that “would be fucking awful.” He added, “Would I trade my liberty for those chains? No fucking way.” God knows why,” Waters recounted in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. I said, ‘Why don’t we just have a vote? There’s only three of us…’ No, no, they wouldn’t have that. Prior to the pandemic and global lockdown, the surviving members of Pink Floyd held a peace summit to discuss a re-release of their 1977 album, Animals, and other issues that have long caused inner-band tensions. Things didn’t go as planned, however: Roger Waters seemed to insinuate that drummer Nick Mason sided with David Gilmour. ![]()
