The second half started with the second reading of 'Atom 'Art Mother - The Story' on the large projection screen. In front of David's kit were a pair of guitars, including what turned out to be a prototype of the forthcoming Fender 'Black Strat' signature model, and David's lap steel guitar. Once this was done, a second guitar position could be seen, with David's amps and Cobb Strobotuner centre stage, and the Italian guitarist Federico Maremmi's equipment moved slightly to stage right. The interval brought the expected rearrangement to the stage, moving the piano over to the side in front of the choir. Performance-wise, the various elements of the first half seemed a touch better than the first night, with the benefit of that performance and an afternoon run-through clear to see.

Naturally, Ron's improvised pieces in the first half were quite different, as were his comments and even some of the aphorisms he selected for the audience's pleasure. The format of the show was unchanged from the first night, reviewed in full here. The audience were to witness a truly magical performance which will not be easily forgotten by the attendees. The second night boasted a guest appearance by David Gilmour, augmenting the existing musicians, which resulted in a sell-out show and an audience swelled with many more obvious Floydies than were seen the previous night. With a superb mix of music, wordplay, and improvisation crafted by Ron Geesin, the event clearly thrilled many. The first night of the two special 'Atom Heart Mother' evenings being held in Chelsea's Cadogan Hall, in the heart of London, was always going to be a hard act to follow.
