Didn't care for the two post-Waters LPs (though "One Slip" from MLOR is a great track) but the 1994 Pink Floyd show I saw at Yankee Stadium remains one of the two or three best (or at least most fun) concerts I've ever been to. With all the smoke and lasers you really couldn't even see who was onstage. It was all about the music and the lights. Dave's voice and guitar were there, and for me that was enough. Didn't miss Roger. For me, Dave's voice and guitar are the principal identifying features of the Pink Floyd sound, much more so than Roger's angst-laden hollering.
Concerts at Yankee Stadium were very rare in those days. I think Floyd was only the third band to ever play there, after Billy Joel and U2.

Graham Nash is providing new insights into Pink Floyd‘s forthcoming ‘Endless River’ project, confirming that he and long-time bandmate David Crosby added vocals to a David Gilmour-penned track dealing with loss.
“We went down to sing on this particular song that he wrote about friends that had died,” Nash reveals, in a new talk with VH-1 Radio Network’s Dave Basner. “It’s a beautiful song, too — beautiful.”
Gilmour and Nick Mason have been at work since late last year completing ambient, primarily instrumental music begun during the late Rick Wright‘s final early-’90s sessions with Pink Floyd. Lyricist Polly Samson, who has collaborated with her husband Gilmour on a series of projects, described ‘The Endless River’ as Wright’s “swansong.”
This isn’t the first time, by the way, that Nash and Crosby have been involved with a Gilmour project. They also sang background on the title track for his 2006 solo album ‘On an Island.’ “I’m hoping that it’s as good as ‘On An Island,’” Nash tells Basner, “because I thought that that song of Gilmour’s was not only a brilliant song, but I thought we sang pretty good on it.”
Rumors that Graham and Nash were working with Gilmour first circulated last November, but it was assumed back then that the sessions would be part of a planned ‘On an Island’ follow up. ‘The Endless River’ is due in October.

I didn't know Bruce Springsteen had an opinion about the matter.

HAHAHA!
New Pink Floyd Album!!! The title of this thread only, what humour. HAHAHAHA.
Pink Floyd as a band died when Syd Barett left.
Either a babbling idiot, or obvious sarcasm to provoke a response.

We haven't heard it yet and people are already complaining. Get a life.
Doesn't matter if they make up now. Rick Wright is dead. They missed their chance. Now is actually the time for Pink Floyd to rest in peace.Quote

C'mon, guys, make up already. Instrumentals will be boring.

"Remember this photo? It wasn't what you THOUGHT it was. "YES. THERE IS A NEW PINK FLOYD ALBUM COMING OUT. AND I'M ON IT. And there was much rejoicing."
-- Durga McBroom-Hudson, from her Facebook post
David Gilmour with (left to right) Sarah Brown, Durga McBroom-Hudson and Louise Clare Marshall.
More comments from Durga regarding "The Endless River" album:
"I don't know if there will be a tour or not yet. STAY TUNED."
"The recording did start during The Division Bell sessions (and yes, it was the side project originally titled "The Big Spliff" that Nick Mason spoke about). Which is why there are Richard Wright tracks on it. But David and Nick have gone in and done a lot more since then. It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks. David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them. That's the song you see being worked on in the photo."
"ALL UNRELEASED SONGS. And I don't know about vinyl, but I don't see why not."
"Yes, Guy is on it." (In reply to if Guy Pratt is on the album)
"And yes, Nick also. THIS IS A PINK FLOYD ALBUM."
"No, he's going to release a solo album as well."
"I know - he wanted to keep it quiet. But no one is going to tell Polly what to do!! LOL!!"

Thanks D&G!
Think about it this way: it's mostly instrumental and has Rick Wright, one of the main "architects" of the Pink Floyd sound--the man who put that Miles Davis jazz chord in Us And Them. Should sound something like those "barn jams" from Dave's most recent sessions (All "3" from Live in Gdansk)....
