This gig at the Olympia was the 2nd Parisian gig of the 2006 "On An Island" European Tour (David played the evening before at the Grand Rex Theatre, not far from the Olympia).
The concert at the Olympia had some particularities that made that show very unique.
Firstly, David invited Sam Brown to sing The Great Gig In The Sky, as she was in town that night to perform with Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, at the Trabendo. She performed during the 1st set, just after "The Blue", and probably left the Olympia just after the song, to fulfill her obligations with the Jools Holland band...
Just after this nice surprise, some French people in the audience began to wish a happy birthday to David, who turned 60 just 10 days earlier, on March 6th. Then most of the audience sang the famous "Happy Birthday" song to David.
A third particularity of the Olympia gig is due to a big larsen problem during "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", at the beginning of the first verse. David stopped, and after the problem was identified (refer to the title of the RoIO ;-)), David restarted the song from the beginning! Furthermore - probably to avoid to play twice the same solos during the same concert - he did totally improvised lines during the intro, and also during the first electric solo just after Syd's Theme! This performance of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" at the Olympia is therefore a very unique version, with alternate solos, almost totally improvised and very exciting to hear!
The Olympia concert was also the first one where David played "Fat Old Sun" instead of "Dominoes" (and he was totally on fire during the final electric solo!).
