Geldof, besides raising international awareness about poverty and hunger in Africa, did something far more immediately important: He reunited Pink Floyd.
For the first time in a quarter-century, Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters not only played together, they actually broke bread.
On Friday night, all the members of Pink Floyd and their wives, etc., ate together at the famous Ivy restaurant. Roger made the initial call, an insider told me, leading to this unique gathering.
Now the speculation begins: a new album, a tour, is any of it possible? From the rousing reception they got, something tells me more is to come.
