Summer 2001 in Shakespeare's Country
On 21st July 2001, we ventured to Ragley Hall which lies a few miles away from Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England.
We had been here before but still managed to get lost on the way and got there about 5 minutes before the crowd were let into the concert area.

Close to the stage was packed - this was taken from the Merchandise Tent by the Lighting Tower. |
| and this was taken from the right hand side of the stage looking towards the Lighting Tower. |
 |
 |
At both sides of the stage were cordoned off enclosures to prevent people reaching the front from the sides of the stage. |
| The front row ! |

Shelly Nelson joined Chris on stage for the duets "Two Sides to Every Story". |
| Their voices are well matched |
 |
 |
...and Shelly provided vocals on songs ranging from "Missing You" through to "Patricia the Stripper" |
| Even late into the concert Chris had the energy for wild leaps onstage |
