These were the last two occasions in which the band performed with Kenney Jones on drums.

On 8 February 1988, the band reformed once more for a three-song set for that year's BPI Awards at London's Royal Albert Hall, having been honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the British Phonographic Industry.

The performance was energetic, but problematic: a problem with John Entwistle's bass guitar briefly delayed the start of their set, only to have the BBC's power cut out during the second verse of "My Generation", resulting in only the audio being transmitted for the last part of this song and "Pinball Wizard"; the video resumed for "Love Reign O'er Me".
