9 years ago today..

Five weeks before, we did this, my father’s final concert, together in Long Beach California. He had so wanted to play one last show; you can see at the end he knew it was the last. The way he blesses the audiences and shares so much love with us all. pic.twitter.com/d0JL20X8bS
