Blackbushe - what a day that was, in blazing sun. Went there with friends in a (real) Mini - took hours to get in and hours to get out. First time I saw Bob and I've never forgotten it - sometimes wonder if all the subsequent times I've seen him have been attempts to re-capture that day. Clapton, Graham Parker, Joan Armatrading as well (and JJ Cale I think - sure I remember Cocaine?) - what a day, a mile from the stage and no big screens but good sound - great day. Took us hours to get home (less than 20 miles away), and I remember we raided our friend's Dad's wine collection to wind down (ultra sorry Dad, but Karma, since now my kids do the same thing). Hoping to get tickets for one of Bob's shows at the Albert Hall in November, with a bit of luck.

Good luck in November. Hope you see Bob.
