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, through 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 about 7 years after I saw him in concert, in Syracuse on June 4, 1999, 27 years ago today.

I saw Bruce Cockburn several times at a music Benefit for Native American Scholarship at Verde Valley School, Sedona, AZ. He was usually the opening act. Other artis performed were Jackson Browne the organizer of the Benefit, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Bonnie Raitt, Shawn Colvin, CSN, Melissa Manchester, Mary Carpenter, Ben Harper and others.
It was held at a beautiful natural amphitheater.
I have NY&CH set on CD and is one of my favorites.
