| Notes |
| Recorded at the Fulham Town Hall, London, UK. Good (but distant) audience recording. From the info file: Aussie Pink Floyd March 1996 David Gilmour’s 50th Birthday Party Aussie Pink Floyd: Have A Cigar One of These Days Hey You Money Wish You Were Here With Rick Wright and Guy Pratt: Comfortably Numb With Dave and the rest of the Pink Floyd extra musicians: What Do You Want From Me Money Video is a single camera, stationary from the back of the hall. Some dropped frames and audio distrotion is evident. --- Additional info from http://www.aussiefloyd.com/history/: David Gilmour visited the band backstage after a show in Croydon - pointing out that he’d never had the chance to see Pink Floyd perform. He was very complimentary, posed for pictures and invited the band to perform at Pink Floyd’s party to mark the end of their ‘Division Bell’ tour. Due to curfew restraints at the venue, this plan fell through but, when the phone rang not long after, the band found themselves asked to perform a handpicked set at an event marking Gilmour’s 50th birthday. The Australian Pink Floyd Show topped the bill at the evening’s festivities at the Fulham Town Hall, performing Pink Floyd to the members of Pink Floyd amongst others. Toward the end of the performance Pink Floyd bassist Guy Pratt joined the band on stage along with Rick Wright for a rendition of 'Comfortably Numb'. This was followed by David Gilmour, Gary Wallis, Tim Renwick and Claudia Fontaine along with Guy and Rick, performing a number of edited versions of Floyd songs including 'Money' and 'What Do You Want From Me'. It was an incredible ending to an unbelievable night. |
