Having downloaded a high-quality video of the event, and having watched that numerous times, I have a few wonderings: - Who is singing with Dave on “Breathe”? I thought it was Rick, but noticed on a wide shot that he didn’t seem to be at a microphone. Hell, did he even have a microphone? - Who is playing second guitar? Is that Andy Fairweather-Low? Snowy White? Or some guy I never heard of? - Were there any “hidden” players as far as anyone knows, the way Fleetwood Mac did on their last concert video? - Was it me, or did Dave Gilmour more or less completely ignore Roger Waters until they took their final bow? - Does anyone else feel that this will officially be the last-ever Pink Floyd performance? ---

Would you be able to give a link to this hi-quality vid? Only if it’s legal of course, otherwise the mods will remove it, and you may get warned. ---

> [@Revtim](#): > > Would you be able to give a link to this hi-quality vid? Only if it’s legal of course, otherwise the mods will remove it, and you may get warned. AOL has it for a few more weeks. Free. You don’t have to be an AOL subscriber, as I am not and was able to view the songs. Your definition of high quality may be different than mine, but I thought it looked pretty damn good.

Thanks, but I should have mentioned I knew of the AOL vids, and was wondering if the OP had a better quality (legal) link. I appreciate it though. ---
