Pink Floyd reunion

I read and heard about a Pink Floyd reunion with the fouor original members, anyone hear that, too? I love Pink Floyd. I wonder if this reunion will be recorded. I saw Pink Floyd once, the David Gilmore version, but I have always wanted to see the full blown version. It would be great if their reunion prompted a world tour. I might even buy one of the high priced tickets on sale these days to see that show. And you know they would the show tickets will be pricey.

umm. . . .they CAN'T tour with the original lineup! syd barrett is too mentally unstable to do anything except gardening and painting. if anyone mentions pink floyd to him, he gets royally agitated.

and dave gilmour wasn't an original member, either.

the original members were:

syd barrett: guitar/vocals
roger waters: bass
nick mason: drums
rick wright: keyboards

dave gilmour came in to fill in for the increasingly mentally-unstable syd barrett. after barrett left, gilmour became his permanent replacement, and waters assumed most of the songwriting duties.

interestingly, though - gilmour helped produce and played on syd barretts solo-albums after replacing him in pink floyd.

and i hate to be the broken record, but let's not discount the fact that syd barrett laid the groundwork for the band, and that they used the template that he formed to build on. not to take anything away from waters, but i think people underestimate just how much of a mark syd left on the band, even after he left the band.
