Lemur King Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I'm only watching for the Floyd reunion. I'll have to watch all day though just so I don't miss it. 373521[/snapback] Given your 12000 posts, I'm sure your "life" can afford to be on hold for another day.

airhunter11 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 The ladies were very good.....million dollars was amazing and you could tell the message they were trying to send was heartfelt. I really enjoyed the ladies set that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfmeister Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 THE FLOYD IS OFFICIALLY BACK!!!! 373757[/snapback] Big deal ~ I have seen Pink Floyd live twice without Roger Waters and they were great. Dave runs that band and has for years. Pink Floyd will go on without Waters in the future. This is a one shot deal. I'm glad you enjoyed it ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Floyd has proven that they don't need Roger Waters to sell out stadiums. They are fine without him, however much you and I want it to happen. I also agree that the coverage by both VH1 and MTV were the absolute worst thing I have ever had to watch. I was at my girlfriend's parent's house and they only have dialup, which made internet impossible for me. A typical segment would be for the peanut gallery to talk to someone in the crowd (oh boy, let's get the 15 year old perspective), then show a thirty second clip of a band, and cut away. They also did a fair amount of showing the stage for the last 12 seconds of each act's performance. Pitifull.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Man Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 If Pink Floyd can get the original line up back together, Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth need to patch things up and do a real reunion tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhonix Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Gotta chime in. The best way for me to get Live 8 was through my satellite Radio. Both XM and Sirius carried it, and that allowed you to jump between acts. While a new group was setting up the stage, they took you elsewhere to listen to something new. And with 6 channels broadcasting they hardly missed anything. I hear Boccelli in Paris, and Floys in London, BNL in Barrie and .. god so much. MTV dropped the ball on what should have been a great day of music. ABC's coverage that night was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember how great their coverage was with Live Aid. I was glued to the TV for the entire day. This time, I am glad that I have a DVR. I did not have to waste my time watching MTV's horrible coverage. They did not show everthing and they kept on interrupting songs etc. I was also happy to be able to skip through the groups that I had no interest in watching. I also noticed that the director did a terrible job with his camera choices and cuts, but that is a matter of taste. All in all, it was a far cry from twenty years ago.
