Hi Warren,
I suggest other reasons. Blood On The Tracks -Test Pressing was 5,000 copies, not cheap, and wasn’t easy to get hold of.
Meeting Garth was fantastic. My wife and I had meet and greet tickets. I thought it wasn’t going to go very well as he arrived in a wheelchair. However, his mind is still very sharp.
The programme only says Wembley Stadium, no mention of London. He took one look at it and said, “London, outdoor show. It was a very nice day.” He was absolutely right. We had a bit of a chat, got some photos and I thought that was that.
During the show he came on stage for a few songs. The crowd went crazy. He shuffled into place behind a bank of keyboards and he was a young man again. His fingers flew over the keyboards. I found it to be very emotional.
What a night for the audience and what a night for the assembled New Zealand musicians.
I’m going to a similar concert in January when a similar group of New Zealand musicians will be recreating Neil Young’s Live Rust. I’m really looking forward to it. I doubt if Neil will show up but, hey, who knows.
Cheers.
