Welsh Rich Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Wow... that's all I've got to say... wow. Over an hour acoustic slot first up, highlights for me were "From Hank To Hendrix", "Man Needs a Maid" and "Heart of Gold"... the sound was fantastic. Electric set was loud and proud, "Mr. Soul", "Winterlonge", "Oh, Lonesome Me" and an epic "No Hidden Path" which sprawled out for 20 mins into a mass of feedback were personal highlights. He wasn't that talkative, a few comments but nothing political. Only odd thing, I guess, was the artist with him that "painted" images for the songs then put them at the front of the stage.

Welsh Rich Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Interesting - slightly different set list to the one we had last night - we didn't get "Fuckin' Up" but we got "Roll Another Nunber" as the encore... And no "Ambulance Blues", which is a bit of a shame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I see - I have only saw him once - with CSN actually - on the Looking Forward tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 This was my first time in seeing him. The tickets were expensive, but as he was is one of my all-time favourites, I thought I'd taken the opportunity as I live so close to London. Glad I did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
