And I was there !!! ;) ... I've never heard this song before. This was the best moment of the concert for me, also with "A day in the Life/Give Peace a Chance" they also played this evening ! And also the Zutons and Kaise chiefs before ! It was a great great evening in Anfield !

Anfield... yeah, I was there, too. Seem to remember there were lots of old stills shown in the back, when he did that.

There's also a nice video circulating on YT: https://youtu.be/bfQe7u0TQQI?si=1UP6f-vdCkmUQWBf

Greetz from Hamburg!
