I well up every time I watch/listen to this gig. It was such an emotional time of my life and I felt like all the songs fitted my feelings. I'd separated from my wife that very same month and I was in bits. I loved her so much but she didn't want me anymore. Paul Hester took his own life but saved mine. RIP Paul

It took everything I owned at the time to get to this concert, I am glad I made it. What a memory of this moment, the locals where so kind to me and one family took me in for the brief moment I was there. I love this song, it has always had a "side" note in my heart for a person I loved years ago. She chose not to go with me and I had saved enough for both of us. Sad because the individual she stayed behind for was abusive and they did not last. I thought of her as I stood there listening to this song and hoped her journey she choose would fulfill her joy. Where has the time gone, no way to capture it, it just rolls along and accelerates as each day goes by. At least memories we can capture for all time

I'm lucky enough to be a professional musician. I'm even luckier to have ever even heard the name 'Neil Finn'. The man is not only the greatest songwriter I could imagine, but on stage, the man is pure gold. If there was one person in the history of music I could work with, it's Neil. This is more than likely one of his greatest tunes; certainly one of my favs. I miss these mates badly. It literally hurts my chest to watch Paul up there enjoying himself.

Nobody is on the level of McCartney as a song writer. He is the greatest ever without a doubt. But if anybody was ever gonna get close, it's Neil Finn (ok, ok, I know John Lennon. I'd throw George Harrison, Freddie Mercury, Neil Young in the mix as well). Not really my kinda music generally, but this guy is incredible. I really can't think of better songwriter working today who is better, or even as good. He really should get way more love than he does.
