On the first night cos we were a large group, we were able to book two adjoining boxes off the first floor. Next to us were a group of four soldiers and their families. Stevie, dog and entourage came up about an hour or so before the show to meet them. There was one guy, 19/20 maybe, he had lost his legs and maybe part of an arm. Stevie spent ages with what I assume were his parents.

Yeah, I think we forget just how good they are. I tend to find the acoustic Big Love a bit routine now but the reaction from people who hadn't heard it before was astonishing, and I guess that's how I felt many years ago. When we got to dinner afterwards, that track together with Dreams, Standback, Landslide & Oh Well were the main talking points. It was funny being in the venue though and each time a song started, friends turned 'round and said ...oh I know this one!
