<P> Contractually, Wright was not a member of the band, and said "It came close to a point where I wasn't going to do the album ." However, he earned five co-writing credits on the album, his first on a Pink Floyd album since 1975's Wish You Were Here . Another songwriter credited on the album was Gilmour's future wife, Polly Samson . She helped him write several tracks, including, "High Hopes", a collaborative arrangement which, though initially tense, "pulled the whole album together," according to Ezrin . They hired Michael Kamen to arrange the album's orchestral parts; Dick Parry and Chris Thomas also returned . Writer Douglas Adams provided the album title and Thorgerson the cover artwork . Thorgerson drew inspiration for the album cover from the Moai monoliths of Easter Island; two opposing faces forming an implied third face about which he commented: "the absent face--the ghost of Pink Floyd's past, Syd and Roger". Eager to avoid competing against other album releases, as had happened with A Momentary Lapse, Pink Floyd set a deadline of April 1994, at which point they would resume touring . The album reached number 1 in both the UK and the US . It spent 51 weeks on the UK chart . </P> <P> Pink Floyd spent more than two weeks rehearsing in a hangar at Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino, California, before opening on 29 March 1994, in Miami, with an almost identical road crew to that used for their Momentary Lapse of Reason tour . They played a variety of Pink Floyd favourites, and later changed their setlist to include The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety . The tour, Pink Floyd's last, ended on 29 October 1994 . </P> <P> On 2 July 2005, Waters, Gilmour, Mason and Wright performed together as Pink Floyd for the first time in more than 24 years, at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London . The reunion was arranged by Live 8 organiser Bob Geldof; after Gilmour declined the offer, Geldof asked Mason, who contacted Waters . About two weeks later, Waters called Gilmour, their first conversation in two years, and the next day Gilmour agreed . In a statement to the press, the band stressed the unimportance of their problems in the context of the Live 8 event . </P> <P> They planned their setlist at the Connaught Hotel in London, followed by three days of rehearsals at Black Island Studios . The sessions were problematic, with disagreements over the style and pace of the songs they were practising; the running order was decided on the eve of the event . At the beginning of their performance of "Wish You Were Here", Waters told the audience: "(It is) quite emotional, standing up here with these three guys after all these years, standing to be counted with the rest of you...we're doing this for everyone who's not here, and particularly of course for Syd ." At the end, Gilmour thanked the audience and started to walk off the stage . Waters called him back, and the band shared a group hug . Images of the hug were a favourite among Sunday newspapers after Live 8 . Waters said of their almost twenty years of animosity: "I don't think any of us came out of the years from 1985 with any credit...It was a bad, negative time, and I regret my part in that negativity ." </P>
