Nick Still Has The Knack: Mason Ends RAH 3rd Night.
In a fitting end to David’s Royal Albert Hall shows, Nick Mason joined David Gilmour and Richard Wright for the encores of the third and final night. After another great show which again featured Crosby and Nash, Robert Wyatt on Then I Close My Eyes and Mica Paris on The Great Gig In The Sky, the hall erupted when Nick sat down behind Steve’s drum kit for Wish You Were Here. Remaining in place for Find The Cost Of Freedom, he picked up his sticks again and led the band into Comfortably Numb, to add the crowning glory to a truly great tour.
1st Half – Breathe/Time/Breathe(reprise), complete On an Island
2nd Half – Shine On…, Fat Old Sun, Dominoes, Arnold Layne, Coming Back To Life, High Hopes, Great Gig…(w/ Mica Paris), Echoes.
Encore – WYWH (w/ Nick Mason), Find The Cost Of Freedom, Comfortably Numb (w/ Nick Mason).

Und wenn's so richtig Scheiße ist, dann ist wenigstens noch die Musik da. Und an der Stelle, wo es am allerschönsten ist, da müsste die Platte springen und du hörst immer nur diesen einen Moment.“
