Roger Waters - Live Earth Concert - 7th July 2007

I agree with ESLAFTK2112 about Al Gore: He is a bloated, junk-science pimp - and total hypocrite (several mansions, SUVs, lear jets, mega-stocks in petroleum companies - great for the environment, eh?). He's all about "Money". But, enough about that gas bag (speaking of pollutants)...

This is the first I've heard of Roger being added to this lineup. With acts like the RHCPs, The Police, and Roger Waters, there's NO way an event like this could be held anywhere near a White House lawn - if that's one of the proposed sites. Did I miss something there?

The Mall is not the White House lawn...it's a strip of property in downtown DC that has been used for huge events, including concerts, in the past. I've been there many times, and it would have been perfect...

PS Glad I'm not alone in my Gore bashing...

Thanks for the clarification, "Syd". I'd be shocked if PF reunited for this - but, pigs have been known to fly, on occasion!

Now it's clear that Pink Floyd will not be reuniting for this one. Roger said in a Rolling Stone interview last week, that the others weren't interested in playing at this concert. Well, it's a good thing that Roger is on the bill, I'm sure that we will hear at least one Pink Floyd classic at Giants Stadium where the US concert is taking place.

Here's the lineup so far:

AFI
Akon
Alicia Keys
Beastie Boys
The Black Eyed Peas
Bloc Party
Bon Jovi
Corinne Bailey Rae
Crowded House
Damien Rice
Dave Matthews Band
David Gray
Duran Duran
Enrique Iglesias
Fall Out Boy
Faith Hill & Tim McGraw
Foo Fighters
Genesis
Jack Johnson
James Blunt
The John Butler Trio

when was the PF special reunion for live8 announced and confirmed?
If I remember about 3-4 weeks before the event...

Before that day it was constantly denied.

It was confirmed June 12th, 2005, just a little over two weeks before Live 8 took place (had to Google it, 'cause I didn't remember the date).

You're right, there's plenty of time left. Now if only that news article about Led Zeppelin playing Live Earth would turn out to be true...

Also 7.7.07 is the one year anniversary of Syd's death. So I would imagine that since there's a huge worldwide event that day, the guys would get onstage in New York to pay their tribute to Syd.

I just read that Roger will only have 20 minutes for his set. Maybe he'll pull out some stuff he's not done live (hoping for "Two Suns In The Sunset" or other "Final Cut" stuff). He'll probably just do DSOTM and "The Wall" stuff, though.
