Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

Sean Ono Lennon, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, had a lot of things going for him before he even picked up the guitar. But that didn't mean he slacked off when it came to music - on the contrary, is newest album, Friendly Fire, is stronger than his previous, Into the Sun released in 1998, and began touring to support it last year. So far, this has brought him to San Francisco three times since October 2006, twice headlining and once supporting Rufus Wainwright. I caught two shows, one at the Great American Music Hall, where I took the above photo, and one at the Nob Hill Masonic, where I met him after the show. He's a great guy - made it a very memorable experience.

This was recorded in Milano, Italy on February 12th, 2006, and broadcast in April. One good thing about Sean's performances live when he's headlining is you can count on a tiny venue - which is how we got a front row spot. These small, intimate shows are the absolute best way to see him perform. Not that larger venues keep him from playing well, in fact, he still honored my request & added his hilarious comments during the Wainwright show. They keep coming on this recording, and it's my absoulte favorite of the tour.
