In 2011, Don performed on the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival (“The veteran singer-songwriter's take on ‘American Pie’ with multiple extra choruses, was another heartwarming, communal high” – The Independent).
Then in 2014, he performed for 30,000 at the Stagecoach Festival – one of the premier country music events in the US. According to the Daily News “the audience went wild, screaming, jumping, dancing. 
Even after the song was over, the audience still lingered, basking in the afterglow of the performance”.
