Is George W. Bush doing the first act warm up slot ? This is an OAP with a fascist groove thang...surprised about any brown eyed girls managing to survive here.

Saw him in Manchester earlier this year and it was the greatest gig i've ever been to. If he playes a similar set to the Europe tour the American fans are in for a treat. What an absolute legend. Get those bloody archives released!

I don't understand that first comment - He recorded an anti-Bush protest album ('Living With War') 2 years ago!! Hmm... I saw him live this year and I'm in agreement with rubbersoul - probably the greatest gig I've ever seen. The man is on fire, playing with the passion and energy of someone a third of his age. Plus he's still got the chops (and voice). America is in for a treat. Legend.

Ok tamoratvr, once again...what? Go back to your first comment and explain what the fuck you are trying to say. And as for "all this old american rock" which american rock would that be then? Surely you're not refering to the CANADIAN Neil Young!
