The Only Pink Floyd Reunion
This was when the 4 guys got back together after 22 years. Yes, Pink Floyd has toured since 1983 (1987-88 and 1994) but this was when a very bitter feud between David Gilmour (guitarist/vocals) and Roger Waters (bass/vocals) was buried for this Live 8 festival back in 2005. Roger quit the band in 1985, calling the Floyd a spent force. When the remaining members decided to record a new album (1986), Roger sued them.
Three years after this performance, keyboardist Richard Wright died of cancer.

Re: The Only Pink Floyd Reunion
This one is even better (if you're a PF fan).
Roger Waters did one of his tours as a solo artist (one of many) and in May of 2011, Roger was doing a tour that consisted of him doing the album The Wall in it's entirety (since that album was his baby). Well, he never told anyone that David Gilmour was going to do his bit for the song Comfortably Numb.
This is impressive because the crowd was unaware. Watch the reaction when verse two kicks in at 1:20 and Gilmour appears at the top of the wall. Unreal reaction.

Which one? The second? If so, that's what I was impressed with the most because nobody expected Dave to be there.

It's the unexpectation. At Live 8, they knew they were back together for that one show.
