David Gilmour, Roger Waters perform together

Posted July 11, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Pigs flew last night at an Oxfordshire, England, charity event, when Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour and Roger Waters performed live together.

Appearing in Kidlington for a concert to benefit the Hoping Foundation, the two played four songs together, accompanied by Guy Pratt, on bass and acoustic guitar; Harry Waters, on keyboards; Andy Newmark, on drums; Chester Kamen, on guitar; and Jonjo Grisdale, also on keyboards.

The set contained four songs: Floyd classics “Wish You Were Here,” “Comfortably Numb,” and “Another Brick in the Wall (Part Two),” along with Phil Spector’s “To Know Him Is To Love Him.”

The photo is from a rehearsal for the event.

Let’s hope this is a sign of things to come.

Floydian Slip preview #744

Posted July 9, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Join us this week for a special Floydian Slip #744: “Remembering Syd Barrett.”

It’s been four years since the enigmatic founder of Pink Floyd passed away, July 7, 2006. His short burst of extraordinary musical creativity in the late-’60s — followed by 30 years of reclusiveness — made him one of rock’s most intriguing players.

We’ll take a listen to material Syd recorded with the Floyd as well as plenty of solo material.
