It's always cool to see these guys together, actually it's the first time in five years that David Gilmour and Roger Waters have gotten together to play Pink Floyd music. Officially Roger Waters has not been a part of Pink Floyd since 1985 so this was especially well uh special. Most recently Waters had asked Gilmour to
be a part of his tour which celebrates the 30th anniversary of The Wall, but unfortunately Gilmour said no thanks. Bad feelings have seemingly always surrounded these two would be front-men, both having strong opinions about just who is the lead singer of the band. Of course Waters was one of the original members who started the band in 1962, Gilmour joined in 1968 and was part of some of their most successful days. Anyway the two joined together for the Hoping Foundation benefit in Oxfordshire which raised money for young Palestinian refugees. The duo helped raise 350,000 pound which I will not convert into dollars, just know thats a lot of money. The 30th Anniversary of The Wall tour has been one of the few stand out successes in a summer of very slow ticket sales overall.
