Pink Floyd - Live Performance of 'Comfortably Numb' at Hyde Park

Venue: Hyde Park Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: July 2, 2005

In July 2005, Pink Floyd reunited for their performance of "Comfortably Numb" at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London, marking a significant moment in their long history. This occurrence came after a prolonged period of relative inactivity and internal disputes among band members, specifically between Roger Waters and David Gilmour. Prior to this event, the band had not performed together since the 1981 tour for "The Final Cut," although they had continued to release solo projects. The Live 8 performance was part of a larger effort to raise awareness for global poverty, and it showcased the band's classic sound to a new generation, reminding fans of their profound impact on rock music. This performance was notable not just for its nostalgic value, but also for its emotional weight, as it symbolized a brief reconciliation among the band members, drawing a massive audience and receiving widespread acclaim.
