"I Still Carry You Around" - 1999

 On the cusp of the new millennium, Steve Earle joined forces with the Del McCoury Band to release "The Mountain" on 23 February 1999. Hilary and I went to see them play at the Ulster Hall on 17 May - it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to - we were up in the balcony, overlooking the stage, marvelling at the 3 piece suits and the single microphone, and the acoustic volume being operated through skilful choreography. From an era when cameras and recording devices were not allowed in venues, and could get you ejected if caught, I've not been able to find any pics or videos online. So, this grainy tv performance will have to do.
