Pink Floyd To Go On Tour??

Promoters for the upcoming Live 8 Charity Concert set for July 2nd have reported the four members of Pink Floyd will reunite for a live performance at the event. Their performance will mark a fourteen year hiatus since their previous performance; bassist Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason, guitarist David Gilmour and keyboardist Rick Wright have not appeared together in a public performance since playing London’s Earl’s Court in 1981.

Undoubtedly, speculation will run rampant as the concert grows nearer as to whether Pink Floyd, one of the world’s most popular progressive rock bands, will call this performance a one time thing or whether they will make amends and plan a full fledged world tour. Should they go ahead with a world tour, it would likely be on the same level as the Rolling Stones first tour after their reconciliation.

Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, and Piper At The Gates of Dawn are among the bands well-known releases. It is still to be seen what will become of their future but one thing is for sure: should Pink Floyd reunite and go on tour, there will be people at the gates of ticket offices out there in the cold, getting lonely, getting old, just waiting for the chance to ensure their place in rock history.
