Well Greg Lake played last week.. and evidently twice.. this time with Roger Daltry, Robert Plant and Ronnie Wood....  I can't believe I wasn't there..

ROCK LEGENDS FORM SUPERGROUP FOR CHARITY

Rock legends ROGER DALTREY and RONNIE WOOD joined other music icons, Greg Lake, Gary Moore, Zoot Money and Simon Townshend to form RD CRUSADERS, a supergroup which performed a historic London gig last night (17OCT04) to raise money for young cancer victims.
The RD Crusaders thrilled more than 200 fans at the concert at Ronnie Scotts to raise a staggering $900,000 (GBP500,000) for the TEENAGE CANCER TRUST, which sets up special wards for children with cancer.
Tonight (18OCT04) the group will be joined by LED ZEPPELIN frontman ROBERT PLANT for their second gig in the capital's Cirque @ Hippodrome club, in aid of the NORWOOD TRUST for mentally handicapped adults and children.
Daltrey explains, "When we first started, it used to cost between GBP250,000 to a million pounds per specialist unit - now it costs GBP1.5 million per unit. The government do not do a lot to help, so we'll help them."

	I felt that way after I saw David Gilmour on the Division Bell tour... and then again this year... He's changed so very much.. But now, I seem to look right past that... cause I can still see him when I look at him.. and Greg... Greg will always be the most beautiful man in the world "to me".
