Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Performance at Live 8 in Hyde Park
During the live recording at Live 8 on July 2, 2005, Pink Floyd was reuniting for a significant performance after nearly 24 years. This event marked their first live collaboration since the 1981 tour, showcasing the band’s classic lineup of Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright. Prior to the reunion at Live 8, Pink Floyd had released their critically acclaimed album "The Division Bell" in 1994, which was the last album featuring the full band until then. "Comfortably Numb," performed at Live 8, is one of the band’s most iconic songs, first appearing on the 1979 album "The Wall." The performance not only resonated with longtime fans but also introduced their music to a new generation, highlighting the band's enduring legacy and influence in rock music. Interestingly, their Live 8 performance was a part of a larger benefit concert aimed at raising awareness for global poverty, showing their commitment to social causes.
