  • Start date
In summary, Bob Geldof is organizing a concert called LIVE8 to raise awareness and funds for Africa. The lineup includes the 4 "original" members of Pink Floyd, including Roger Waters. Syd Barrett, who was with the band at the beginning, is not listed but there is speculation that he may make an appearance. The concert will take place on July 2 in London and tickets are in high demand.

Some of you may have heard of Bob Geldof's latest project called LIVE8. What a terrific thing he is heading for the nations of Africa. In his star studded lineup includes the 4 "original" band members of Pink Floyd including Roger Waters. (I say "original" because Syd Barrett came before David Gilmour technically.) So for those of you in London on July 2 and lucky enough to get tickets, please appreciate the gathering of these band members! It will be a first in over 20 years.

Syd Barrett is playing? Didn't that guy disappear or get institutionalized or something?

sorry, i should have clarified...the "original" members were Gilmour, Mason, Wright, & Waters. Syd Barrett, Mason, Wright and Waters were with the band at the very beginning. Can you imagine if Syd Barrett was at that show and how many people would show?
