Wow that is amazing, I had to watch the concert on T.V here in South Africa. That man is truly amazing one of a kind its just so sad to see him looking so old, but his mind is still so sharp. Going to have to make a plan to maybe go to one of those 46664 concerts overseas!!!!!! That will be one of my goals!!!

Haha yeah this year was a tough decision. Glastonbury again or 46664. So glad I went to see Mandela though. Glastonbury will always be there next year…

You gotta get to one though bro. Definitely your kind of scene.

Mark, dude, you are just killing me, man. I’m surprised you weren’t at Glastonbury this year. Saw the lineup, watched the vids, downloaded the music, love it!! One day I’m going to get there.

Good stuff dude, very glad some South Africans that I know made it to the event!

I was there! What this clip doesn’t capture is just how crazy the crowd went when Nelson walked onto the stage. He just has some magical aura around him that gives you goosebumps immediately.

Other highlights of the night were Leona Lewis, Johnny Clegg, Eddy Grant and the amazing “Free Mandela” performed by all the artists at the end of the night.
