The nearly-year-long mystery was revealed on David Gilmour’s blog moments ago: When would he make good on his promise from last summer to join Roger Waters on stage to perform “Comfortably Numb” with former bandmate Roger Waters?<\/p>\n

The answer: At tonight’s o2 show in London.<\/p>\n

Gilmour’s post says the song will be recorded for posting on “various websites,” but is not intended for an eventual DVD of “The Wall” in the works.<\/p>\n

“Look on the bright side: that means you\u2019ll get to see it sooner,” the post reads, before adding tonight’s appearance truly is a one-off.<\/p>\n

“David is not<\/strong> repeating his special guest performance at a later occasion, I\u2019m sorry to disappoint those of you with fingers crossed and tickets for later shows.”<\/p>\n

Waters joined Gilmour on stage at a charity event last July (“David Gilmour, Roger Waters perform together<\/a>“). The deal, as it was revealed later, was Gilmour agreed to, in turn, join Waters during one show of his “Wall” tour, to perform “Comfortably Numb.”<\/p>\n

“Floydian Slip” turned the upcoming pairing into a contest (“Reunion date contest: The results<\/a>“), asking people to guess the date of the reunion for a chance to win Waters\u2019 \u201cThe Wall Live in Berlin\u201d<\/strong> from 1990. Guess the exact date, and we\u2019d throw in a sealed copy of Classic Rock<\/strong>\u2018s excellent 3D Pink Floyd issue from Fall 2009, celebrating the 30th anniversary of \u201cThe Wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

We’ll be mulling over entries this evening to determine our winner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
