I saw Richie Havens in concert last night at a free festival near me; he was on last, at half 9 til half 10, and I'd been on my feet all day...literally, all day. Hard-Fi were on at the same time on a different stage, and the volume of that almost overwhelmed Havens' performance. Though not quite. It was light when he began, and by his encore the moon was out, a beautiful cresent, and he commented on it, and made a little speech about children being aliens in that they were invading our planet and taking it over whether we liked it or not and his guitaring and voice both amazed me and when he was finished I roared in cheer and woke up this morning unable to speak. Brilliant.
