Char,

Those reviews from Christchurch (New Zealand) and Mt White (Australia) were very interesting. The writer of the Australian article, Derryn Hinch, is a well-known TV-radio-newspaper journalist who recently got elected to Parliament. He obviously had disappointing memories of Pavarotti (performing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground) and Sinatra etc, but good memories of Kristofferson and Linda Ronstadt. I was at that Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle concert when she finished with "Desperado". I was also at her Feb1979 concert at the MCG, which I understand was the first stadium concert anywhere in the world by a female act.
