isn't there even a picture of the band meeting bob when he came backstage that night?? 29.03.1979

according to Oldfield's book, there were a lot famous people that night at the Roxy : Ron Wood, Keith Richards, Rod Stewart, Dave Mason, Linda ronstadt, Bette Milder, J. Browne....what an audience !

MK has done a couple of good collaborations with Rod, Sailing with the Burns 12 string and If I Had You with weird effects on the guitar. :)

Thank you, both!
Never knew about these two tracks to be honest, you live and learn...

I guess I misunderstood Dusty, I thought with "Sailing" he meant STP and with If I Had You he meant DS's If I Had You...

Sailing live from Princess trust though, not from that video. The original recording was a hit before MK joined the rock star club... And If I had you, just the same name...
