After years of discord, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and David Gilmour
are apparently on the road to reconciliation. After playing a
short set together
last weekend at a benefit for the Hoping
Foundation in Oxfordshire, England, the duo plan to reunite at least
once more, performing "Comfortably Numb" at one to-be-determined stop on
Waters' upcoming tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Wall.
In a post on his Facebook wall, Waters detailed the back-and-forth
exchange that resulted in the reunion.
The
Dark Side of Pink Floyd: trace the band's last days and bittersweet
reunions.


After last year's Hoping Foundation benefit — where Gilmour performed
an off-the-cuff version of George Gershwin's "Summertime" — Gilmour
sent Waters an e-mail proposition suggesting the two collaborate on
Teddy Bears classic "To Know Him Is To Love Him," with tongues firmly
planted in cheeks.
Initially, Waters balked at the idea, writing he listened to the song
"knowing that David, with his superior vocal skills, could sing either
part standing on his head, whilst I would have to search for a different
key and then struggle through hours and hours of routining a
performance that lay way outside my vocal comfort zone." He told Gilmour
that it was a no-go.
But Gilmour was not dissuaded, and he sweetened the offer. According
to Waters, Gilmour told him, "If you do 'To Know Him Is To Love Him' for
The Hoping Foundation gig, I'll come and do 'C. Numb' on one of your
Wall shows." Waters' response: "How fucking cool! I was blown away." As
Rolling Stone reported
, Gilmour had previously said he was
"uninterested" in joining Waters on The Wall's anniversary tour.

As promised, Waters performed "To Know Him Is To Love Him" — along
with Floyd classics "Wish You Were Here," "Comfortably Numb" and
"Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" — at the benefit last weekend. In
return, Gilmour will join Waters for a single date during his 94-stop
tour, which begins in Toronto on September 15th and runs, with a brief
break, through June 2011. The date will be a surprise.
Waters ended his post with the tantalizing statement, "End of story.
Or possibly beginning."

I can't imagine Comfortably Numb without Gilmore.

Or Hey You or other for that matter.
