I Recall some of these things..but was in a world of my own..after
drinking beer before the show. I do remember the show wasn't sold out,
so there were quite a number of empty seats. George on his own just
isn't that popular with the public, and I was told by record store
employees that his solo music did not sell very well. I assume this is
why most of his albums were out of print for close to 17 years. Had he
not been in the Beatles, his album sales would have been worse, IMO.
