Pink Floyd Surprise Reunion Gig Was 'Magic'

July 14, 2010
Pink Floyd Surprise Reunion Gig Was 'Magic'The organiser of a charity event which featured a surprise Pink Floyd reunion gig has described their performance as “magic”.

David Gilmour and Roger Waters treated guests at the Hoping For Palestine charity gala in Oxfordshire on Saturday to a four-song set.

It marked the first time the former bandmates had played together since Live 8 in 2005.

Co-organiser Bella Freud told Rolling Stone: "David arrived first and then Roger came on and I saw Roger give David a hug.

"It was really lovely."

The pair were only originally meant to play three songs, but British financier Arpad Busson bid £50,000 for them to perform 'Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2.'.

"Some other people were also saying they'd give £200,000 for them to play one more song," Freud said.

"People were crying - really! I know it sounds corny, but it was magic. David and Roger - they looked so happy up there and they made something so beautiful happen."

The reunion came just months after Waters said that the band's Live 8 performance was “probably” their last together.
