Subject: Private Phoenix show '96
Here is some more information on the Feb. 2nd
Phoenix show at the Biltmore Hotel.
The private show was held in the Pavilion, a 15,000 square-foot
multi-use facility which was set up as a nightclub for this event.
Crosby Stills and Nash were also on the same bill for the Friday
night show. Rod Steward performed for the same group on
Saturday night, however, this event took place at the
Fleischer Museum in Scottsdale, Arizona. The show
was sponsored by Nomura Securities International, Inc.,
a subsidiary of Nomura Securitiies Co., Ltd.
Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. is the largest brokerage house in Japan
with sales of 6.6 billion dollars in 1994. Nomura is a leading
underwriter of bonds, but the firm's main business is its
Japanese stock brokerage. Interestingly enough, Nomura
helped to underwrite a US issue of Sony stock in 1961.

Subject: INTERESTING TIDBIT RE: DYLAN PRIVATE SHOW
Above info is correct based on source I have at the Arizona Biltmore.
Interesting tidbit: Dylan's contract to do the concert stipulated that he
did not have to speak or communicate with anyone between songs. I was
also told the guests were not particularly impressed with the
performance. No wonder they lost the war!
