Roger McGuinn:
From my diary:
"Roger McGuinn opened the show - just him and his guitars. He started with "My Back Pages" and hit most of the important songs. I was particularly happy to hear "The Chestnut Mare" and "The Ballad Of Easy Rider" again. I'd still love to hear "5-D" and "Goin' Home". I'm not sure but I don't think I've ever heard those. Maybe I should check the old lists!
The surprise for me was "You Showed Me". I never even knew McGuinn wrote that one. That's pretty much my favorite Turtles song. Man, what a great melody. Of course, McGuinn ended with "Turn, Turn, Turn." The final words were "A time for peace, I swear it's not too late." He didn't say goodnight. He let the final line of the song speak as he threw a peace sign and walked off."
James Gang:
From my diary:
"I was really surprised to get cleared to shoot this one. I can only assume that someone's looking out for me. In fact, I was the only photographer there. The show was great considering these guys haven't done an actual tour in 35 years or so. They were rock solid.
Of course, Joe Walsh was the star. I sometimes forget just what an amazing guitar player he is but hearing him tear through "The Bomber" (especially the "Bolero" section) was simply stunning."
