" We had a Day Off and Steve suggested we go climbing, " The Band said. " So we did and it was a completely magical experience.
" Far more magical than staring at The Hotel wall all day (which is probably what we'd have done otherwise).
" Steve Made Things happen, in his life and in The Band . We'd very much like to think that he's back in those mountains now, on The Next stage of his adventure. "
