Sure, if I come up with something about the show you couldn’t otherwise get with a quick google search, I’ll get back to you, though perhaps on a different thread?

He had a lot of people with him, including Billy Preston, heard a lot familiar songs, including several Beatle tunes. It was great, as you can imagine. But you don’t need me to tell you this. So I’m just gonna talk about one moment in particular, because I remember it like it happened yesterday.
So, he’s singing “You’re asking me will my love grow,” then changes the next words to “I hope so.” The instant boost in the mood of the crowd was palpable. Large numbers then joined others already singing along, “You stick around now it may show.” Then the pause, it lasted for just one measure, and it felt like a dam was about to burst. Then the crowd, as one voice, sang/yelled the new change with all they had, an emotional build-up-and-release of unconstrained joy! Whew…
Many years later I came to learn that George and Olivia had met in person only weeks before.
