Bernd's probably in transit right now, so I'll do my best.

Pete, plus a few members of the audience in my vicinity :-)

I don't recall seeing anyone play banjo. The official programme doesn't credit 
anyone with it, but this is of course not totally reliable.

Never saw DST, but his hair was really short, showing signs of receding at the 
front.

Feel free! Here's some impressions on your impressions:

Yep, he's humungous! I think this added to the humour of it all. Most of the 
audience at Hyde Park recognised him instantly (from the 70's) and were, I think, 
genuinely shocked by his size. Of course, we all know he's crap, but IMHO he made 
a superb contribution on the strength of him being an "icon" who is impossible to 
take seriously. Good on him! Did you get to see the bit where he fell over and was 
stranded like a beached whale until Rog hauled him up?

He did struggle a couple of times, but still very impressive I thought.

Missed Dylan's set queueing for a veggieburger and/or the crapper.

And so do I! Hope everyone going to MSG has a thoroughly good time.
