Still recovering from what I am sure will be the musical memory of a lifetime for most of those fortunate enough to be there. The only thing that comes close for me is my very first Cockney Rebel gig way back in 1974.
Not ashamed to admit that Sebastian exercised my tear ducts and that was repeated when The Man produced such a heartfelt rendition of Stranger out of the hat.. a wonderful and unexpected surprise treat.
Steve gave us everything he had and more on Saturday, there was absolutely nothing left in the tank when he left the stage. He gave each and every one of us a little piece of himself to take away and treasure for the rest of our lives.
Yes, he may have missed a line or two, but what did it matter? There were two thousand of his extended family there and most of us were mouthing the words along with him anyway.
Would have loved to have heard Friend for Life as one of the bonus songs, but I am sure there will be other opportunities to hear that at future gigs, maybe if I am lucky, as soon as next week in Norwich when The Maestro Comes to Town.
