LONDON, England (Reuters) -- 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

yes, the free improvisation at the end of "moonchild" bothers a lot of people, but it was their first experiment of this nature. on later recordings, there are better examples of this style

and yes, red kicks ass

Fuck.. ..that improvisation bothers me strongly.

Reason is that I fell asleep with in the court of the crimson king on at a slightly high sound level on my headphones. Then I woke up in shock after having that part incorporated in some trippy/weird nightmare.

It's especially that percussion-ish glass hitting of things that weirds me out. :erk:

C'est la vie NFU :( for such kind of reasons I didn't even start planning catching them in one of their northern England gigs.

Awaiting your avatar-album to drop in my mail-box with great enthusiasm, I've heard three tracks and all are fabulous. Still have to get your previous avatar though - before the gig in August at least.

Have you heard anything by either Magic Pie or ACT? They're both coming to a small scale free prog event in my city, and I've never heard their music.
