Hate me, do it and do it again.

Considering there was no argument to begin with, I guess I don't feel that special. |

All fourteen studio albums, from The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn through The Division Bell. Roger can leave at the end of The Final Cut if he likes. I'd sit through it. But realistically speaking, most setlists would be fine by me, although ideally I'd like to see them play Atom Heart Mother (they'd never do it, though). And incidentally, Live 8 wasn't that great. They played two awesome songs, and three overrated, but still good songs. |

Live 8 was good, but we've seen way, way better. |

Live 8 wasn't put on as a Pink Floyd concert. It was for charity and bands played their most known songs or their newest singles that were on the radio. Pink Floyd, having no new material, played their most known and loved songs, as more people would know and appreciate them. I enjoyed it, because before that I figured Pink Floyd were a freaky ass band that wore masks and no one knew their real identities which seems strange but when I saw these old dudes rocking it out, I bought Echoes and even though it now isn't that amazing, it was a great compilation. And I know I'm not the only one who did the same. So if anything, appreciate the fact it got more people to notice your favourite band. |

Lol, being a Brit, I already knew all of that about Live 8. A fact you probrably didn't know is that after live 8, sales of Dark Side of the moon and Echoes went up by something like 1000% in several large Brittish shops such as HMV and Virgin.

They could still at least have included one from their early catalogue, like Set The Controls (I mention this because Roger's playing it in his current tour) or even something from Piper as a tribute to Syd. I doubt many would complain given Money, Wish You Were Here, Astronomy Domine and Comfortably Numb, for instance. |

It's pretty easy, people want to see bands that they like perform live because they get to be part of the experience. Whether or not they're playing the same ol' songs we've heard over and over, every fan still wants to experience them live. So for the people that couldn't make it to London for Live 8, which is most Floyd fans, they'd still like that chance to see them perform. I mean, we all know that The Beatles will never play again, but if McCartney and Starr teamed up and toured, billed as "The Beatles", wouldn't you like them to come to your town? Even if they just played all the songs from 1, I'd be there the first day to buy my front row tickets. |

Suppose that's true, though it'd be a little strange.

Dark Side Of The Moon seeing how the only songs I've heard came from that album. (Time, Money, and Brain Damage) And of course anything else. |

One song? Hmmmm... I would have to say 'Time'. Don't know why. I just think it's a very powerful song. And it would be kind of ironic (like the Rolling Stones performing 'Time Is On My Side'). |

You know what other Pink Floyd song is very powerful? Atom Heart Mother. |
