Bruce Cockburn - 1995-12-17 - New York, NY (FM)

I saw Bruce Cockburn as the lead in band for Bob Weir in the summer of 1992. Cockburn also joined Weir during the encore of The Weight. The show was part of the Meadowlands Summer Fest series of concerts, which believe it or not, took place in the PARKING LOT of Giants stadium. The ever resourceful John Scher, a promoter who never let anything stand in the way of making a buck, put up a stage and some retractable stands in the lot, put a fence around it, and lo and behold, created a concert venue! You can read more about Mr. Scher and other crazy venues used for concerts in my book, TEN RULES OF THE ROAD I LEARNED AT MY FIRST CONCERT.

In any event, this FM broadcast captures Cockburn in New York on December 17, 1995, 3 decades ago today. In the early 1990s, Bruce Cockburn performed a series of annual Christmas concerts, broadcast from Sony Music Studios. He was often joined by special guests for those shows, as he is with this peformance.
