To much surprise the classic line up of the legendary band Pink Floyd (Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason) played together on stage for the first time in 24 years at Live 8, concert, Hyde Park, London 2 July 2005. The complete foursome had not performed together since a show at Earls Court in London on 17 June 1981.
The band performed the songs "Speak to Me", "Breathe/Breathe (Reprise)", "Money", "Wish You Were Here" and "Comfortably Numb". They were the only band not to be verbally introduced, instead the house and stage lights were darkened while the introduction to "Speak to Me" was played accompanied, on the video screens, by an animated version of the heart monitor graphic from 'The Dark Side of the Moon' sleeve.
