Roger Waters Online reports that Roger Waters performed with Pink Floyd for the first time since the last Wall concert in 1981 on Friday. For those unfamiliar with the group’s history, this is huge. Unfortunately, the occasion they got together for was Pink Floyd’s manager’s funeral. They played Fat Old Sun (a great jam song, pre-Dark Side of the Moon) and Great Gig in the Sky (from Dark Side). Wow. I’d love to hear a recording…
Perhaps they can reconcile their differences and get back together now. 😛
Well, although this originally came from very reliable sources close to the band, the sources are now saying that Roger wasn’t there, but Mark Fenwick, Roger’s Manager, was. Fat Old Sun was played by David Gilmour and he was joined by Nick Mason and Rick Wright (the other members of Pink Floyd) for Great Gig in the Sky.
