Pigs flew July 10, when Roger Waters joined David Gilmour on stage at the Hoping Foundation charity event in Oxfordshire.
To even the scales, Gilmour has promised to join Waters at one show of his “Wall” tour to perform “Comfortably Numb” with his former bandmate.
But which show? That’s the question.
Guess the closest and win Roger Waters’ “The Wall Live in Berlin” from 1990. Guess the exact date, and we’ll throw in a sealed copy of Classic Rock’s excellent 3D Pink Floyd issue from Fall 2009, celebrating the 30th anniversary of “The Wall.”
Make your guess now. One guess per person. (Don’t worry, laddy, we’ll know …)
