Rickie Lee Jones LIVE in Paris France 2009
BBC Cameraman, Chris Wickham, the only one who is alive tells the story ...
"I was on stage for Live Aid at Wembley in 1985. There were two stage cameras and as the concert went on all afternoon and evening there were 4 camera operators. Stage left were Alistair Mitchell and Bob Wilson. Stage right were Frank Hudson and myself. We were all dressed in white as requested by the concert organizers. The bands performed on a revolving stage so that while one was playing another could be setting up. At the end of each set the stage would turn and the next band would start to play. In this way there was only a very short pause. This is when we cameramen changed over.
When Queen were playing and Freddie Mercury was strutting his stuff, it was Bob Wilson who perhaps got a little too close as he was grabbed. It was a great performance all round and a memorable day.
Sadly, as well as Freddie passing away, so have Alistair Mitchell, Frank Hudson and Bob Wilson.




Pale Blue Flower - Henry & Johnny
PALE BLUE FLOWERSome blooms are seldom seenThe garish can crowd any gardenSometimes the world overwhelmsAnd size can easily be mistaken for importanceBut there is a subtle beautyTo be sought nearer the soilThe EarthIs not the largest planet in the solar systemBut it is the only oneThat supports love

"Terrific Santana show!
I love these beginnings of Santana shows!
They very often begin with these spiritual "Caravanserai and Welcome"era songs.
Going Home-A1 Funk-Every Step Of The Way - Fantastic!
Aah, forget it, this complete Santana performance is fantastico!
It`s 1973 and maybe some of you brothers will have recognised,
that I really love these days.
Oh god,what a great time for making music!
So much energy ...”
