Концерт/ Concert, 24 MAY 2003Really knock me outThe concert was great, the reception we got was fabulous. At first it was just going to be 35,000 people, all seated, which wasn''t what we had in mind at all. But they opened it up and we had real hardcore fans at the front and back, and dignitaries and paying customers sandwiched in between. The rest of the crowd was bananas. It was everything I''d ever hoped for. And then Putin did turn up halfway through, which was an added bonus, because he''s very popular - I''m sure it won''t do him any harm either. Heather and I had spoken to him about landmine clearances earlier, and when he turned up I was singing the line, ''May we never be called to handle all the weapons of war we despise,'' on ''Calico Sky'', which is probably the only anti-war sentiment in the whole show.
