摇滚乐队重聚伦敦LIVE8音乐会

  Four members of seminal British rock band Pink Floyd will play together for the first time in 24 years at London's Live 8 charity concert for Africa on July 2, publicists for the event said on Sunday.

  Guitarist David Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason and keyboard player Richard Wright will be on stage with bassist Roger Waters for their first public performance since they played at London's Earls Court in 1981.

  The rock legends will join a star-studded line-up including Coldplay, Elton John and Paul McCartney at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, organized by activist rocker Bob Geldof to pressure rich nations to ease African poverty.

  "Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world," said Gilmour.

  "Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if reforming for this concert will help focus attention then it's got to be worthwhile."

  The band released their first album "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" in 1967 and broke records with 1973's "The Dark Side Of The Moon", which remained in the American album charts for more than a decade.

  In the 1980s relations between Waters and the rest of the group soured, with Waters suing over the rights to the Pink Floyd name.

  Gilmore, Mason and Wright continued to record and tour as Pink Floyd, releasing their last studio album "The Division Bell" in 1994.

摇滚乐队重聚伦敦LIVE8音乐会

  英国摇滚乐队平克-佛洛伊德(Pink Floyd)的4名成员在分别24年后首度相聚,他们将参加7月2日在伦敦举行的LIVE8慈善音乐会。

  据路透社6月12日报道,这场音乐会的组织者是摇滚歌手鲍勃-格尔多夫,其目的是呼吁发达国家帮助非洲摆脱贫困。音乐会将在英国的海德公园举行,届时将会是一个众星云集的场面,参加者包括英国摇滚乐队“酷玩”(Coldplay)、埃尔顿-约翰(位居2004年末“世界上最成功的50位歌手”第6名)和保罗-麦卡特尼(原甲壳虫乐队成员)。

  平克-佛洛伊德乐队的4名成员分别是吉他手戴维-吉尔摩、鼓手尼克-梅森、键盘手理查德-赖特和低音歌手罗杰-沃特斯,这是他们自1981年在伦敦“伯爵院”(EARLS COURT)演出以后的第1次公开亮相。吉尔摩表示:“与大多数人的愿望一样,我只是想尽自己所能促使G8领导人做出援助非洲的承诺,并增加对第三世界的援助。”

  吉尔摩说:“沃特斯与乐队的矛盾同这次慈善音乐会相比是微不足道的,如果我们为音乐会的成功而再次同台演出,这样就可以唤起人们对非洲贫困国家的注意,那么此次演出就是值得的。”

  平克-佛洛伊德乐队于1967年发行了首张专辑《破晓门前的吹笛人》(The Piper at the Gates of Dawn),他们1973年的专辑《月之暗面》(The Dark Side Of The Moon)在《公告牌》杂志排行榜上创造了连续上榜超过741周的纪录。上世纪80年代沃特斯退出乐队,开始了个人音乐生涯,其他成员继续以平克-佛洛伊德的名字存在,并于1994年发行了最后一张专辑《藩篱之钟》(The Division Bell)。(文/王旒子)
