History Heartwarming / PinkFloyd

* Any picture of Roger, David, Rick, and Nick smiling and having fun together. Especially with how after The Dark Side of The Moon was released, their friendships started to fade.

* Bob Geldof - who at first HATED Pink Floyd - somehow convincing all of the Pink Floyd members to come back together for one last time for a short, 20 minute gig at the Live 8 concert.

** The reunion itself for that matter; the various members of the band had not been on great terms for decades, with Waters even taking Mason & Gilmour to court over use of the band's name in TheEighties, and it was said that pigs would fly before they'd play together again. They put some pretty large differences aside to do so.

* Music/RogerWaters' speech at the end of "Outside The Wall" at London's O2 Arena, in his ''Wall'' tour, where David Gilmour played and sang on "Comfortably Numb", then joined Waters and Mason [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=uZqS7LAyup4 at the end of the concert]]:

--> "Thirty years ago, when Dave and Nick and I first did this...uh, with Rick...I was a rather ''grumpy person'' and disaffected with rock and roll audiences...and put young David to the test...'''''BUT ALL THAT'S CHANGED!''''' I could not be happier to be with you, and these three guys (points to Gilmour and Mason), and all thirteen of us here, (points to his backing musicians), and you tonight, thank you very much indeed!"

* Richard Wright got the biggest cheers from the audience when David Gilmour introduced him on his ''On an Island'' tour, as Gimour reported on his website after Wright's death in 2008.

* The fact that David Gilmour personally made sure Music/SydBarrett would receive his share of royalties after he left the band.

** A small moment: At the 2:08 mark of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4i8tzFbTAk Comfortably Numb]]" - which the band knew would be the last song they ever played together in front of an audience - just before David plays his first solo, Mason stops playing for a second to rip off his headphones. If it's the last time they do this, he's doing so without the tech.

** A small moment: About two minutes into "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4i8tzFbTAk Comfortably Numb]]" - which the band knew would be the last song they ever played together in front of an audience - just before Gilmour takes his solo, Mason stops playing for a second to rip off his headphones.
