The Pretty Things<\/a> played what they called their \u201cfinal bow\u201d \u2013 their last-ever concert \u2013 at London\u2019s O2 last week, and the show featured some high-profile guests. David Gilmour<\/a> came out for five songs during the band\u2019s second set, playing on a handful of songs from their S.F. Sorrow<\/em> LP, among others, and joined in for encores of \u201cL.S.D.\u201d and \u201cRoad Runner.\u201d Van Morrison<\/a> also joined them, in their third set, for a cover of \u201cBaby Please Don\u2019t Go\u201d and two Bo Diddley numbers, as well as coming back to sing \u201cRoad Runner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gilmour had previously joined the band for a live recording of S.F. Sorrow<\/em> at Abbey Road, which later came out as Resurrection<\/em>. The O2 concert marked the first time he\u2019d played with them in front of an audience. For a lengthy rendition of \u201cL.S.D.,\u201d which came at the end of the third set, he added some slow-moving, tasteful blues licks during his time soloing.<\/p>\n

For the group\u2019s 1965 single, a cover of Diddley\u2019s \u201cRoad Runner,\u201d Morrison came out in his signature hat and sunglasses to sing the song, as Gilmour and the members of Pretty Things provided the soundtrack. It ended with frontman Phil May thanking the guests.<\/p>\n
