Titolo: Notizie da Cipro

Il Cyprus Mail scrive che tra aprile e maggio i Floyd dovrebbero suonare 
li'. E' chiaro che, sbagliando, la notizia si dovrebbe riferire ad una 
probabile data del tour 2008 di Waters.
Staremo a vedere. 

 ad una probabile data del tour 2008 di Waters
Senza dubbio. Di seguito l'articolo in questione,
in inglese ma abbastanza comprensibile, e che
consiglio di leggere per via del curioso mix fra
eccitazione giovanilesca ed incompetenza del
redattore.
*Pink Floyd To Play The Nicosia Wall?*
by Zoe Christodoulides
Teenagers are already taking out their black logo t-shirts,
while adults of all ages swoon with delight as word goes
round that the creative genius of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters,
and his band are likely to be arriving in Cyprus this May
for a concert like no other.
When rumours started circulating a few days back that they
would be giving a concert on the island, no one really
believed that these musical legends could possibly have
reason to visit. The Pantheon Art Cinema in Nicosia then
announced screenings of the cult classic, Pink Floyd: The
Wall, and the rumours became rife.
Although no definite confirmation can be made, it is now
looking more than likely that the group will be arriving to
give a concert in the Nicosia buffer zone on May 9.
As one of the most successful rock bands of all time, the
London boys achieved worldwide success in the 1970s with the
progressive psychedelic rock of The Dark Side of the Moon,
followed by the albums Wish You Were Here, Animals and The
Wall.
The organisers of the upcoming event are trying to make sure
that details are finalised before they make any official
statements. They do, however, confirm that negotiations are
currently underway, and that the band should hopefully be
playing on the Green Line in a show similar to the one given
in Berlin in 1990, less than a year after the destruction of
the Berlin Wall. Played to a live audience of 250,000 and a
television audience of 500 million in 52 countries across
the globe, the show took on historic proportions.
Concerts in Cyprus can sometimes be very risky business and
the organisers are keen to make sure that everything is done
right before tickets go on sale. When you’re dealing with
such a big name as Pink Floyd, the promoters can be sure
that thousands will show up, but they also have to be
certain that the band is happy with the choice of venue and
whole concept of the show.
If such a performance does take place, the one thing we can
be sure of is that the ongoing division of the island will
most certainly be in the limelight as foreign media will be
covering the special event.
Crowds can expect an extravagant show like no other.
Renowned for their lavish stage shows, the rock legends will
be combining their performance with video footage playing in
the background. All Pink Floyd hits will be played as well
as all the songs from The Dark Side of the Moon,
complemented with 3D effects and laser lights.
For such a small island, Cyprus really hassn’t done badly
when it comes to concerts in the past few years. Crowds went
mad over Elton John tickets a few years back, Sting drew in
plenty of fans a couple of summers ago, and the Bryan Adams
gig last June was heaving with overly excitable crowds,
while 50 Cent was another surprise concert that had young
fans of hip hop and R&B delighted in July.
With fingers tightly crossed, it seems that things are about
to get even better with a show not many would ever have
imagined experiencing in the capital.
