    In case your wondering

    Geldof also revealed that Pink Floyd, reunited with founder member Roger Waters for the first time in more than 20 years, will play three songs: Breathe, Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here.
    Great set but how will they do full versions in 15 minutes? I guess it will be lose.

    Also I cant believe I missed this.

    SIR Paul McCartney and the Irish rock group U2, dressed in Sgt Pepper costumes, are due to open next weekend’s Live 8 concerts singing “It was 20 years ago today” — a reference to the Live Aid concert of 1985.
    Does anyone know if theres anywhere to see anything that was missed. I heard something about them being streamed on the internet

    bastard
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    The opening was good Gawain, I do believe there is audio / video on the internet already too of it.

    I am just so glad Pink Floyd are apparently going to play Wish you were here - my favvvvvvvvvvvv!

    Still waiting for them to begin though.

    Agreed, every song is a winner. I don't think the album really gets the praise it deserves as well, everyone always remembers and knows Dark side of the moon, but Wish you were here? It is often forgotten, and it is superb.

    Darkside is played out and everysong is not of the caliber of those on Wish you were here. As you say every song can stand by itself but together its a masterpiece.

    What a joke!! Currently listening to Robbie Williams?!?!?!?
    Heard Dido earlier?!?!?!?

    What can I say about that?????????? There is no superlative to portray quite how awful they are.

    Been looking forward to Floyd just to find this out

    There is nothing I can think of to say...............15 minutes. Who decided that then? Please tell me it wasn't Geldof

    .....Orda
