So my guess is world tour in 2007..but....
Gilmour: Pink Floyd over, for good
By JAM! Music

Pink Floyd fans can officially put the reunion rumours to bed.
Despite a successful one-off show at Live8 last summer and speculation of tour dates later this year, the band is "over," according to former singer-guitarist David Gilmour.
Speaking in an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, he stated that a reunion is definitely not in the cards.
"The band? It's over," announced Gilmour. "Reunited because of the good cause, to get over the bad relationship, and not to have regrets.
"I think I've had enough. I am 60. I don't want to work much anymore. It's an important part of my life, I have had enormous satisfactions, but now it's enough. It's much more comfortable to work on my own."
Gilmour also stated that his thoughts have nothing to do with the tension between he and co-founder Roger Waters, who left the band in 1983, and didn't play with them again until Live8.
"The issue about Roger is irrelevant, because even without him I don't want to go on as Pink Floyd... I am fine as I live now. It was fantastic but now I don't feel like (it) any more."

Yeah well their performance at the G8 waste of time thing was pretty lame.
Despite what Gilmore might be trying to say here, I'm pretty confident they all had the horrific realization, midway between their set, that they just were not into it anymore. That they waited perhaps 8 years too long to do this. |

Pink Floyd has about as much charisma as Joe Liberman on a good day. |

A lot of charisma in that photo!!! Although one might misinterpret it as you rejecting my attempted handshake.

Yeah , I just saw that photograph and that elderly man is rejecting your handshake --- why did he do that ?!?!
Is he from the Shidoobee board or something ?!?!?!

No I believe I was still trying to work my way towards you and had yet to reach out. It's all about timing.

It's my opinion we greeted each other friendly. I came all the way across the room to shake your hand, which is not easy for a man my age.

It was a pleasure.....I enjoyed myself, albeit, for a brief time. I was only sorry I missed FPMC10.... |

I started going gray at 18. Bad family trait. The flash makes it look worse than it is though.
Joey, I remember seeing quite a bald spot developing on the top/back of your head in Cleveland. Boy that was five years ago. How bad is it now?

I agree! I know you don't like Pink Floyd (judging from your other posts). I DO like Pink Floyd, but I'm still happy they're done. Their last two albums sucked big time, and the Live8 reunion sucked big time too other than for its obvious nostalgia purposes. These guys are more than finished. |

It was thin back there. Real thin.
Mine is too but not that bad.
Next summit I suggest someone take a photo, no? |

Wait a second. Are you making fun of someone's appearance. You? Aren't you the one I saw in that picture who looked like some mental defective playing an imaginary keyboard in some 80's pop band? |

Post the pictures. I see a hair piece debate. I'm voting wig because it looks like one. And a bad one at that. Like one of them one you'd get at Costco. One size fits all. |
