I went to that gig, was a big fan of Lofgren at the time. I went to London to see him around then too, before bumping into him at a Stones gig in Wembley when we were both trying to sneak down the floor seats to get nearer the stage. Had a brief chat, but the RS were playing, so too much going on to exchange more than a few pleasantries.
