Pink Floyd reform for Live 8 show

Rock band Pink Floyd's classic line-up will be reunited on stage for the first time in 24 years at next month's Live 8 concert in London.
Roger Waters will join band members Dave Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright for the show in Hyde Park.
Waters last performed on stage with them at London's Earls Court in 1981.
The Live 8 concert, organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to help fight African poverty, is one of five taking place around the world on 2 July.
Pink Floyd join a star-studded line-up at Hyde Park which includes Madonna, REM, U2, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Coldplay and Robbie Williams.
"Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world," said Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour.
"Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if reforming for this concert will help focus attention then it's got to be worthwhile," he added.

This can't possibly be true. It's been six years since I first heard Dark of the Moon, six years since I began shouting in my dreams for an impossible Pink Floyd performance. And now, one month and a half before the day I'll be flying on a plane above the Atlantic, I get the news that these four will play live on 2 July at Hyde Park, London. And Coldplay, U2, and Paul McCartney will be around.

Gilmour is more than right: they've surely focused attention on the G8 conference. But why couldn't they plan it for the end of July?

Is anyone sharing this agony with me?
