They shared the bill with Johnny Cash that night. After the show, singer Hope Sandoval and then bass player Jill Emery eventually even managed to talk to him facing some obstacles, as Hope recalls:

He had his own floor – a whole area blocked off at the BBC. We managed to get in somehow, but he was gone. We ran down to the parking lot just in time to see this big limo pulling away, so we just ran after it, waving and shouting ‘STOP!’ And they stopped, opened the door and there he was. He shook our hands, said he loved our songs, and told us to take the right path in life. It was incredible.
