Venue: Hyde Park Location: London, ENG, United Kingdom Date: July 5, 2005

On July 5, 2005, Pink Floyd performed at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London, marking a significant moment in the band’s history. This performance was notable as it featured the classic lineup of Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright, a reunion that had not occurred since the band’s 1981 tour. The band had recently released "The Endless River" in 2014, but this Live 8 concert was pivotal as it came during a time of both nostalgia and renewed interest in their extensive catalog, especially their iconic album "The Wall." The performance of "Comfortably Numb" highlighted the band's enduring legacy, drawing massive crowds and providing a poignant reminder of their impact on music and culture. Additionally, the event aimed to raise awareness for global poverty, further emphasizing the band's commitment to social issues and utilizing their platform for meaningful advocacy.
