Nearly a half-hour, this is the full video of the reunion of Pink Floyd‘s Roger Waters and David Gilmour from July’s Hoping Foundation charity event.
Video: Waters/Gilmour reunion performance
Posted August 14, 2010 by Floydian Slip
Roger Waters has made available a “two-minute taster” of his reunion gig with David Gilmour, which took place at the Hoping Foundation charity event in July.
“The sound quality is crap but it was a great night for me, and for him, and also for ‘US and THEM’,” he writes on his Web site.
The video seems to be a hand-held job, shot from the audience of 200.
The duo have given the entire 29-minute set to the foundation, which plans to post it at 5 p.m. Monday UK time.
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.

Quick follow-up to our post from a month ago, regarding the honorary degree bestowed upon Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour: The ceremony took place yesterday at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, and Gilmour was in attendance.
Cambridge News quoted John Gordon, who was in Gilmour’s early band Joker’s Wild: “I am delighted to hear of my old mate David’s recognition by my old college. … I’ve kept in occasional contact with David over the years and followed his progress as one of the world’s finest exponents of the guitar.”
David Gilmour buys new home
Posted October 29, 2009 by Floydian Slip
Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has purchased a £3 million beachfront home in the southern English town of Hove.
He and his wife, Polly Samson, have hired an architectural firm from nearby Brighton to renovate the six-story structure, which is at the corner of Medina Terrace and King’s Esplanade, yards from the beach.
The home has six bedrooms, five baths, and includes a two-bedroom apartment on the ground floor.
According to the architect’s Web site, which lists the owners as “Mr. and Mrs. Samson,” the renovation will use low-carbon technologies and incorporate a solar water heating system, grey water recycling and a ventilation system with heat recovery.
The property previously belonged to Karron Eubank, former wife of boxer Chris Eubank.

He still has close ties with the university, most recently supporting the Syd Barrett tribute project The City Wakes from the Cambridge School of Art.
