COMMENTS/FURTHER INFORMATION
Submitted by Graham Lumb. Kelvin Watson provided some missing
songs and submitted the following:
I was at this acoustic
solo performance by Bruce Cockburn in the "Cabaret
Nicaragua" tent venue at the Greenbelt Festival. I
have a subsequently published "various artists" live L.P. called "Cabaret
Nicaragua" from that venue at the 1987 festival.
They are good quality, having been recorded by the BBC's outside broadcast.
Sadly the
powerful and angry rendition of If
I Had A Rocket Launcher was
not included on the
LP.
Another point
about this gig was that U2's Bono was in the audience incognito, disguised
as a Steward. He had travelled secretly to the
festival for the sole purpose of seeing Cockburn's set. A photo of the
disguised Bono was later published in a Greenbelt thirty year retrospective
booklet which I have.
