On this day in 2012, I went to see The Black Crowes 'Farewell To England' tour.
This was the last night of the tour at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London and The Black Crowes asked me to jam on 'Shake Your Money Maker' as an encore.
I just couldn't say no, but felt really sad when I was told that this was said to be the last shows of such a brilliant band.

In May 1965, I experienced the genius of at the Royal Albert Hall in London. He accompanied himself on acoustic guitar and cascaded images from such songs as It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding), Chimes Of Freedom and She Belongs To Me to a mesmerised audience. It was life changing.
On this day in 2013, Bob Dylan played at the Royal Albert Hall again - this was the first of three nights - when he would feature songs from his latest album Tempest and some re-arranged earlier material including She Belongs To Me. It was intoxicating. I attended this concert with poet .
Recently, in October 2022, I had an invitation to see Bob Dylan at the London Palladium. He played piano on this evening: really featuring his playing, unveiling many styles of his technique and melody lines that counterpoint the vocals. He performed material from his latest album, Rough And Rowdy Ways. His voice was really strong and his phrasing was unbelievable.
Midway through the show, he gave a namecheck to me from the stage which was an unexpected surprise to process from an incredible show from the incredible showman!

On this day in 1983, I played a concert in Dallas with ARMS.
After the original ARMS show at the Royal Albert Hall, there was great interest from the artists involved when it was suggested that we do a short American tour. Bill Graham, with his entrepreneurial and promotional skills, magically set up a number of dates in the US. Everybody came over with the exception of Steve Winwood, whose slot was taken by Joe Cocker.
I’d invited to come on the ARMS tour and he graciously accepted. We had a good chemistry onstage and that added a hell of a lot to my set. At the time I had been writing some new material with Paul, including Midnight Moonlight. It was great to see Ronnie Lane again and there was a spirit of goodwill and camaraderie between the artists that endured throughout the tour.
