Pink Floyd

In July 2005, Pink Floyd performed "Comfortably Numb" at the Live 8 charity concert, marking a significant moment in the band's history as it was their first performance together in over 24 years. This reunion featured the classic lineup of Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright, showcasing their enduring legacy. Prior to this live recording, Pink Floyd had not released any new studio albums since "The Final Cut" in 1983, though David Gilmour and Roger Waters had each pursued solo careers. This performance also served as a powerful reminder of their influence in rock music, as they headlined the event alongside other iconic artists. The reunion was pivotal not only for fans but also as a statement of solidarity—culminating in a heartfelt rendition of one of their most iconic songs, which embodied themes of alienation and struggle resonant with the event's purpose.
