That would be the best SNL in YEARS.

Approx 0% chance of happening.

Good thing he's not booked to play 'Regis and Kelly'.

Thanks, writer's strike! I knew something good would come out of this whole thing!

I'll believe that one when I see it.

90 minutes of Waters' low whispery voice? Nah. Although, I'll grant that it would work for DSOTM. Most of it, anyway.

The stuff Gilmour doesn't sing.

*cough*

What, we'll have Dane Cook do the intro sketch, then he'll introduce the musical guest, then come out and say good-night?

(only way I'd watch anything with Dane Cook is if he was limited to 30 seconds of screen time, anyway)

I say, Go With It!

That geezer was cruising for a bruising.

CheddarPants: Good thing he's not booked to play 'Regis and Kelly'.

Well played.

I'm sure he could trim DSOTM down to under 3 minutes. Ringo could sit in on drums.

This would be badass. But it will never happen.

Haven't seen SNL in years, but I would probably tune in for that.

Actually...... Ummm yeah Roger doesn't sing most of DSOM his band does. And they do a bloody amazing job of it.

I'm wondering how they'll split it up for commercial breaks if this rumour is true.

You could only really split it in half, just after Great Gig

If he plays a full 90 minutes he can play almost his entire concert lineup.

Maybe even get Nick Mason to sit down suring DSOM (which has been known to happen)

Here's the "Dream" situation.

Pink Floyd has decided to re-unite. Roger comes on SNL and plays a bunch of songs and then it goes to commercial. All of a sudden the lights rise up and there's Dave, Roger, Nick and Rick and they play DSOM following an announcement for a world tour....

If only..

Holy shiat.

...and then, after reuniting on SNL, the four Pink Floyd members insist on the receiving the $3000 check that Lorne was offering the Beatles to reunite on the show.

/It's OK to give Nick less. It's up to you.

When pigs fly...


/setting the DVR, just in case.

But will SNL synch up with The Wizard of Oz?

Crap, that would be so sweet. Too bad that it will never happen or could it.

I love Battersea, got to go there this summer :)

You know that if you tuns in that night, then put MadTV in your PiP window, they sync up eerily well.

I guess if $150 Million wouldn't get them to re-unite for a North American tour... nothing could (other than everyone wanting to actually spend time and energy plus having to get along)

Seconded.

McSpammed, thanks.

I do not see why some people think this is far fetched

...don't miss the very popular NBC TV programme, Saturday Night Live. HAHAHAHAHA.

Tom_Slick: That would be the best SNL in YEARS.

It really would.

/saw Roger perform DSOTM live twice

That would be the best SNL in YEARS.

Also the funniest.

fark it...I'm going to Coachella anyway...

cant remember the last time I forced myself to suffer through SNL...

Well as long as you can withstand maybe 3-4 commercial breaks and a couple of people saying "SNL is proud to introduce" and "once again" it's not too painful.

I saw him last year performing the entire DSOTM at Nissan Pavilion in Va- I was farking blown away, it was farkin brilliant.

I have got to be the only die-hard Waters/Floyd fan that really didn't get excited for the DSOTM shows. It was just so beat to death, it would be like seeing Zeppelin just play Stairway, Rock n Roll and Black Dog over and over. I was at Waters' show last year on his first leg of his DSOTM show at Great Woods in Mansfield Mass, or whatever the Hell they call it now ... Tweeter Center or some such crap). They brought out the pig for the Act One finale and did a nut-crushing, majestic, monstrous, goose-bump inducing version of Sheep and actually let the f*cking pig go (like GONE, miles, out of sight, still floating like a dot in front of the moon 10 minutes into intermission)

... and I turned my wife and said "OK, that's it, I'm good, let's go. Nothing will top that. Nothing." Since the tickets were her gift to me for my birthday (and she's only a casual fan), she looked incredulous at me and said "Are you sure?" and I said "Yup. I saw the Wall in Berlin .... and now I saw the pig fly away during the climactic finale of my favorite Floyd album. No version of Money for the 79th time is even worth sticking around for".

And we took off. It felt oddly liberating. I came for South Hampton Dock, Amused to Death and some Animals, and I got it.

And for no other reason except it's a Floyd thread, here's an illo I did for a St. Louis paper a few years back:

BatardAmericain

Pink Floyd Together RECENT

That was quite possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen.

I guess I've just never been lucky enough to see other Floyd concerts....

I watched my VHS of pulse so many times that the first 3 minutes is almost worn out, and there are spots where the video goes wonky.

I believe it was a superb show. the Dark Side portion was an extra treat. I love Dark Side, and it's up there with the 1st album.

Did anyone else here buy the box set? Is's quite nice :)

I'll go on record as saying this would be the greatest thing ever. Even better than penicillin.

I dunno, this kind of feels like the time in '94 when rumors were running rampant that Paul, George and Ringo would perform together on Letterman, possibly with Julian Lennon sitting in for John, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

About midway through the show in question, after coming back from a commercial break, Dave said that he had a special treat for the audience, one that some of us had probably been expecting: "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Beatles!"

At which point Larry "Bud" Melman came out, said, "IS THIS THING ON???" and proceeded to sing "All My Loving."

(I'll probably still tune in to SNL that night. You know, just in case)

This is why the good noodly one invented the tivo. To record something that in a million years won't happen, but in a million and one?


Where would they put the commercial breaks? Between Money and Us and Them?

I'm with you on this one. I am tired of Dark Side as well. Much prefer to listen to Animals or Meddle. I hate when someone says they love Pink Floyd and all they know is DSOTM or worse, Another Brick in the Wall.

I'm definatley not one of those people.

I am a fan of their entire catalogue. If love all of their songs like like Arnold Layne (along with some of Syd's solo work) Set the Controls, Sheep, Brain Damage, Nobody Home, Take It Back.

But I still find Dark Side something I could listen to multiple times... In fact I've probably got 7 or 8 copies of it, mind you all different versions like Import Vinyl and CD's.

Man what it would have been like to see Floyd in '94. I was only 9 then and I can remember a beer commercial with the Blimps they had in it and I guess it was you could win tickets to the concert or something... Wish I was a little bit older then.

For those who were interested in the performance it's been canned and a rerun will be on instead.

I'm thinking that before the writers strike this was scheduled for him to be the musical guest. play Money and something from his solo work as the two songs I'm sure.

Anyways, it's not happening now... whatever it was going to be.

Please...ANYTHING but "Money." Sure, it's in 7/8, but c'mon, it's played ad nauseum on every classic rock station in America!

/worst song on DSOTM.
//worst Floyd song. Period.
