Still the greatest live rock and roll band in the world,
. . . and if you don't agree with me you can fuck off.

My new best mate Paul Bettany came to see his favourite band, for the second time. He told me he thought they were better than last night. We both thought they should play Substitute. I asked Roger - they didn't... They played The Man In The Purple Dress about the Pope. I wonder if Pete's a lapsed catholic? Shot the last song, Tea and Theatre, from the stage behind Pete and Roger.

Get to Madison Square Garden early, the band are going to soundcheck. This gets cancelled, so I sit around doing nothing. Roger arrives, I sit with him in his dressing room while he plays around with his guitar. I get a good shot of him laughing after he manages to get rid of his mother-in-law...
Phil Collins is backstage, so is Chris Stamp, wearing the same shirt he had on two years ago - it must be his going-out shirt. Do pictures of Pete with them before the show. As I take a photo of Pete with Chris Stamp Pete laughs and says 'Me and Chris - we've done some terrible things here!'
