So today's Live 8. Ever since I heard that Pink Floyd would be performing, and with Roger Waters, nonetheless, I've been determined to watch because I LOVE Pink Floyd, and had never thought to get the chance to see them live, let alone with four members. There had been rumors about that before, and I'd basically laughed them off, thinking there was no WAY Roger would get along with the rest of them enough to do a show. I about fell off my chair when I heard it was going to happen after all.
I've been watching for several hours now, waiting for Pink Floyd, and have seen several great bands pass by - currently, Velvet Revolver is playing, who are also high on my list of "must see live". So I'm sitting here, alone except for my parents' dogs and fishes, actually cheering at the TV. YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY Velvet Revolver! YAAAAAAAAAAAYYY REM (who I just saw live last weekend, in fact)! WOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT there goes the shirt!
I should go to concerts more often :)
ETA: I'm now at the point where I hardly dare go to the toilet for fear of missing Pink Floyd. I'd read somewhere that they'd be on at about 9pm UK time - so that's 15 minutes ago. Where is my Pink Floyd?!?!
