Performance NotesThis was David Bowie's only confirmed performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Bowie was a surprise guest performer for this show, which also was David Bowie’s final public performance in the UK.

"BRILLIANT ILLUMINATIONS AND SHINING GUEST STARS
...Then came a show-stopper that instantly brought the whole hall to its feet. A grey-suited David Bowie strolled on to supply a beautifully apt mockney lead on the Floyd's first single, Arnold Layne. As the lights went mental, and Bowie and Gilmour duetted on Comfortably Numb, a patchy show miraculously pipped Pink Floyd for drama in in the end."
