Crowded House- Don't Dream It's Over/All I Have to Do is Dream- 2010

"Hey now, hey now...". What a great band. Formed from the stray strands of New Zealand's Split Enz, Crowded House had up to four lead singers and the brilliant songs of Neil Finn. Not even the almost criminally inept career direction of their…

"I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord..." As the summer sun set to the west of the massive JFK stadium teeming with 100,000 people for Live Aid US, I stood center stage about ten feet behind Phil Collins seated at a black…

Neil Young-"Needle & the Damage Done" Live Aid Phila. 7-13-85

Roger McGuinn- Chestnut Mare- Dallas 1991
