There is (was?) a DVD (filmed at the London dates) from the tour, featuring David Gilmour on the last three songs - including a tear-jerking version of One World.

For Jaw on the Floor moments: Derek and the Dominoes at Leeds Uni. (It simply did not look like EC. I think it was the hair).
For tugging at the heartstrings: Beth Neilsen Chapman in Sheffield (a small intimate gig in what I think was a former magistrates court).Trisha Yearwood at Manchester Apollo.
For all of the above: Steely Dan at the NEC.
