 | I saw Paul twice with Joan, once at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley (bread and Roses) when they dueted The Boxer, Paul said, Hey, this is better than Artie!, that was pretty soon after the Concert In The Park.
The second time was at the Opera House in SF. Paul played a set solo. It was a (fairly) small place to see Paul solo. Speaking of the small room Paul said in his early days the idea was to make it seem as though you were playing for the people in their living rooms, but he himself had never been sure he wanted a bunch of guitarists coming and playing in his living room.
The he said he would play a couple of new songs, and if we did not respond well it was "right back to the hits." He played Citizen of the Planet. and, if I remember right, Hearts And Bones, Amazing, both of them. |

Paul played SOS, Mrs. Robinson, Here Comes The Sun, and Me And Julio. Mark Stewart accompanied him. Paul also sang together with Joan Baez but I don´t know which song.

| I have never seen any video of a CHF concert as far as I can remember. Or am I wrong?
This is a event for elected guests only, who spend money... so the usual taper or cellphone-video guy is not on the guest list ;-) |

| Bodo it´s a big time rich persons´ event -- These events are at small venues with massive prices
What´s strange is their entire goal is to raise money for children --- If they filmed that event with Paul and Joan I´m sure a bunch of people would have purchased the DVD, making more money for the cause --- they need a proper public relations man... |

| Thanks for posting the photo. I think that Paul looks much better when he goes hatless. I think that hat he has been wearing lately looks pretty lame. |

| At Gettyimages there are more photos of the event. He looks great, I always like it when he wears a blouse without a tie or a poloshirt.
Hmm, I like the hat, at his age it looks better as a cap. He looks relaxed and it gives him a kind of elegance appearance.
