I would agree, it is highly unlikely that a reunion involving DG & RW will take place.
However, I understand that last year DG did appear at a RW "The Wall" concert ... it was not the one I went to November 21, 2010 Dallas.
Yup, someplace I had seen it written that DG was working on a new series of tunes for a new release. Where and when that was ... was several months ago. I Figured if it was true that others would have heard it by now.
Oh well. Will keep the ear to the ground.
Also agree regarding the pic being OK "Great receiver in Pic" the 4300 is at a neighbors garage system now ... while I enjoy more surround effects from the SR unit in my garage.

On An Island has some great music on it.

its been "wishful thinking" for Floyd fans since the original Wall tour... There are always naysayers that say it will never happen(I think some of them are even convinced that the Live8 thing was just a conspiracy), but there are others who will hold out hope until they are all in the ground...

Indeed it does. And "Live in Gdansk" is spectacular. Such a bummer that Rick Wright died..."Gdansk" was a nice reminder how much of the 70's PF sound was the harmonizing between Gilmour and Wright.
I'd love to see a new DG solo record soon. Let's hope Polly has cooked up some nice new lyrics for him.

Yes, the Harmonizing between Gilmour/Wright on that release is amazing. I think that Echoes features a reversal of who was singing the high end vs low end, interesting how the years played out on their voices. It is an amazing song and a spectacular version.. Great Album
On An Island. Saw the tour in Chicago in a small venue, Rosemont Theater. Last tour that Richard Wright was on.
I'm hoping DG will come out with something new, but I haven't seen anything. I'm sure there would be a tour with any release.
RW is busy funding his retirement this summer.

Yeah i heeard that one. Remember Gilmour takes time between projects, his last solo album prior to OAI was in 1984!.
I was just watching the remember That Night DVD last night, and it amazes me every time i see it, the harmony between Gilmour and Wright was amazing everytime. The Gdansk DVD is great too. It's a shame Wright died. Anyway i think that a full PF reunion was never gonna happe anyway. But we still got PF, DG and some of RW timeless music.
At least RW and DG buried the hatchet.
Yeah, but they are not golfing buddies! I think DG is just keeping his distance.

Yeah, is like we get along fine, but not so much to be in a band together again. I thing DG still has a lot of ill feelings towards the abuse him and the rest of PF members received from RW all those years and about RW megalomaniac, control-freak, egotistical PF version of the band in the last years, from Animals towards the end of the band.
Of course that is DG vision of how things happen, i'm shure RW has another vision, but i think if it was up to RW, he'll tour and record again with PF, maybe Mason too, but not DG, he's donw with that, specially since Rick Wright passed away.
