    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.
