Beautiful Moments, Part TwoLast week I saw a helium balloon cross the road at the lights on a perfectly timed gust of wind. Today I saw four people trying to get into a GWiz electric car. They failed.
What's the best thing you've seen recently?

Pink FloydBack in '71. my friend drove me to see Pink Floyd at the De Monfort Hall, Leicester. They played "dark Side of the Moon" in its entireity, a full 18 months before its release. Then they went off for a fag, came back and played a full, mind blowing set. Then encores. The lights were up, and most of the crowd had gone, when they came back and did a bluesy jam. I don't know whether it was spontaneous, or planned, or what. All I know is, at 16, it was a magical moment which has lived with me .
Length. About 15 minutes, as I remember.

Bien surThe Floyd were renowned for doing things like this.
I saw them live at Earl's Court when they recorded the Pulse concerts.
After a magnificent set, they went off, came back and did DSotM as an encore.
An encore?!?
Best. Show. Ever!

I remember that one tooI went to the one a week after the stand collapsed. Dark Side was one hell of an encore.
