Greg.
P.S. Saw Jackson Browne at the Regent and he was brilliant.

Greg, this was not a 'low class' location.
It was at the high class Sutton Grange Winery. They hold concerts of the big names in the industry: Jackson Browne, Chris Isaak, Bozz Scaggs, Mick Fleetwood, etc.
Not exactly an old swimming pool or a dust bowl in a paddock full of pissed hippies and rough Rockers.
It was obvious that Richard Clapton just couldn't be bothered.
Maybe he just didn't like playing second fiddle to a bigger star than he is
