On Saturday 2 July 2005 at the Live 8 concert, the classic lineup of Pink Floyd performed together on stage for the first time in 
over 24 years. 
The reunion had been arranged by Live 8 organiser Bob Geldof, who had called Mason earlier in the year to discuss the band reuniting 
for Live 8. 
Geldof had already asked Gilmour, who had turned down the offer, and asked Mason to intercede on his behalf. 
Mason declined, but contacted Waters, who was immediately enthusiastic. 
Waters then called Geldof to discuss the event, which was at that time only a month away. 
About two weeks later, Waters called Gilmour —their first conversation for about two years— and the next day the latter agreed. 
Wright was contacted, and immediately agreed. 
Statements were issued to the press which stressed the unimportance of the band's problems,
compared to the context of the Live 8 event. The setlist was planned at the Connaught Hotel in London, 
followed by three days of rehearsals at Black Island Studios. 
The sessions were troublesome, with minor disagreements over the style and pace of the songs they were practising. 
Waters wanted to use the occasion to expand the concepts he had designed, whereas Gilmour wanted to perform the songs in exactly 
the way the audience would expect. 
The final setlist and running order was decided on the eve of the concert. Gilmour and Waters shared lead vocals. 
On stage, at the start of "Wish You Were Here," Waters told the audience: 
"It's actually quite emotional, standing up here with these three guys after all these years,
standing to be counted with the rest of you. Anyway, we're doing this for everyone who's not here, and particularly of course for Syd." 
At the end of their performance Gilmour thanked the audience, and started to walk off the stage, 
but Waters called him back and the band shared a group hug that became one of the more notable images from Live 8.
