@ Holger: the music isn't bad at all - indeed it's still excellent - but their relationship is. I don't know them personally, of course, but judging from what I've read over the years, when they are offstage they either love each other like two brothers or detest each other with a passion. There are no middle ways. And, according to Paul Simon, the latter happens way more often than the former. 
@ Cam: is it really? Well, maybe I'm too much an idealist.  Also, with PF it's different - the rift between Gilmour and Waters was created out of musical/artistic reasons (Waters wanting to dominate the band, to impose his own ideas, etc.) as well as personal ones, while for S&G it's strictly personal. So I guess it was very easy for PF to re-unite for a one-off. But there was absolutely no fuckin' way that they'd record anything new in a studio.  Regarding Gilmour's impatience, well, you can see the same look on Florian Schneider's face at the end of "Musique Non Stop", on Kraftwerk's Minimum/Maximum DVD. It's really true that some facial expressions are universal. Did you ever watch Lie to Me?
