We asked you to take a guess as to the date David Gilmour would join Roger Waters on stage during Waters’ tour of “The Wall” that kicked off tonight in Toronto. We’ve been told it’s going to happen, but the date remains shrouded in secrecy.

The polls are closed, and we’ve crunched the numbers:

More than 80 people entered the contest, with guesses fairly evenly split between the North American leg of the tour (Sept. 15 through Dec. 21) and the European leg (March 21 through June 29). Though London’s series of five shows next May is clearly the voters’ favorite.

On the North American side, Waters’ Oct. 5 show at Madison Square Garden was the most popular, earning four votes. On the European side, guesses clustered around the London shows, with the May 11 show at The O2 coming out on top of all shows worldwide with eight votes.

“Floydian Slip” is going on the record by saying our guess is London’s May 17 date.

The person who guesses closest wins a copy of Water’s “The Wall Live in Berlin” on CD. If the winner guesses the exact date, we’ll add to the kitty a sealed copy of last November’s Classic Rock magazine with the 3D Floyd cover.

Now we play the waiting game …

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 …)
