The surviving members of Pink Floyd were surprise performers at last night’s sold-out Syd Barrett tribute concert in London.
“Madcap’s Last Laugh,” co-produced by Floyd producer Joe Boyd at Barbican Hall, promised names such as Chrissie Hynde, Robyn Hitchcock, Kevin Ayers and others.
But the audience got more than they planned for when Roger Waters, accompanied by Jon Carin, took the stage to perform “Flickering Flame” at the end of the evening’s first set.
David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright performed “Arnold Layne” at the end of the second set, only to join most of the evening’s performers in “Bike” to close the show.
Not a bad line-up for the show’s $30-50 ticket price.
