 | Best concert I have attended in all these years. It was magical, perfect sound, great venue. Paul in great voice, a beautiful new arrangement on America. Great audience, a lot of dancing. Had a great seat and was able to go to the front. SOS was a great closer, stood very nearby, just Paul and his guitar.

| I bumped into Mark Stewart before the show and he said that "it will be a great show" ---- and it was.
Hard to believe that it was Feb 1987 when I last saw PS at The Royal Albert Hall - an amazing venue, sound and crowd - the best show that I've been to.
We spoke to Bakithi K and Vincent N afterwards too to cap the evening off. |

 | Think you will find it was April 1987, Hakan. I was there too.
No wristband this time around unfortunately.
I had been telling people about Paul since 1971. Now everyone really knows. |

| Hello Brenda,
I was fortunate enough to be there on Monday and "Wristband" was played (I don't know about Tuesday night) --- the highlight was "America" which I can't recall ever seeing him play solo in the UK ---- it was the best concert that I've ever been to.
Paul S also said "I'm not quitting" so good news there!
We're going to Nottingham on Saturday so we really are blessed.

| Having seen an amazing concert that Paul gave at the end of the US tour, I am still a bit jealous of the folks in London. I love this version of America, which has always been one of my favorites. This song is almost 50 years old and yet it still is timely. And to think that the person who wrote it and performed it can still perform it so well is awesome. How can someone stay so great for so long? Awesome. |

| I was fortunate enough to be at RAH on Monday, too. Did not know I would be there when I woke up in the morning, but tried my luck and they had a ticket for me at the box office =) It was my first time inside RAH and the experience was magical.
Ans, were you one of the lucky ones who shook Paul's hand at the end? |

 | Great you were so lucky! I didn't shake his hand. Have seen him many times and was very lucky to talk to him and watched the soundcheck in Glasgow 10 years ago but RAH was the best venue I saw him play. |
