Woohoo! Suicide Eddie, you do indeed kick ass.

I don't think they were the best by a long chalk, but it was pleasent to see them together again.

im getting a login and password prompt. i really want this. help?

DCrazy · Post by **DCrazy** » Sun Jul 03, 2005 9:15 am

Pally, the username is pink and the password is floyd. The URL that Suicide Eddie provided should have bypassed the login prompt because it follows the standard format of protocol://username:password@web.site.address , but apparently it didn't work for you. Just letting you know for future reference.

Worked for me, but I've been downloading since last night @ around 4KB/s.

was going to but couldnt be bothered to register a tracker at 2am this morning. so gave me mates first pick instead

Sergeant Thorne · Post by **Sergeant Thorne** » Sun Jul 03, 2005 2:18 pm

Thanks, btw.

I'm not really a big Pink Floyd fan, but my dad has listened to them, and I like some of their songs.

What is this registering of trackers, btw?

Took all night to download, and my speed dropped to around 7 kbps, but it was worth every minute. Great quality.

That was awesome. I want 3 more hours of it.

it was really cool to see them playing together. Roger Waters looked like he was having the time of his life - very inspiring!

I can remember going to a concert and PF was the intro band. Funny...I can't remember who the star band was at the time.

Jeffiisno! Fancy seeing you in a Pink Floyd thread.

Man, I thought they really did well for not having played together in like practically 25 years. Their voices seem to have held up well, even. It was funny, we watched the Live at Pompeii video from the early 70s (which I haven't seen in a few years) and it's pretty amusing the drastic difference between then and now...

Well, I was uber disgusted that they didn't give closing act to Pink Floyd. They gave it to the man that needs to hang up his shoes...I mean...cool he was a Beatle, but he tours year in and out. Pink Floyd stopped 23 years ago, I think they should have got it...oh well...one of the best of all time.

on all the p2p networks this week floyd have had the highest downloads/users connected

I just watched it and it was incredible to see those guys all together. I actually got a little choked up and teary eyed during comfortably numb. My only complaint is, everytime Gilmour was doing a solo, they'd cut to these sweeping scenes of the crowd when what I really wanted to see was his hand moving across the fretboard.

Use a bittorrent client to open that .torrent file. Something like this:
