First night benefiting The Queen's Silver Jubilee Appeal. Ray Cooper joined Elton half way through. Elton was saying at the end, "We haven't been doing this song all week, but since it's Saturday... ". It was also the night of the Euro Song Contest. Elton did a very funny parody of the UK entry, "Rock Bottom".
