When it began raining lightly during his performance, singer-songwriter Donovan suggested to the

17,000-plus-member audience that together they could stop the precipitation by simply thinking it

away. The audience, apparently, complied, because shortly thereafter, the rain stopped. This moment

was captured for posterity when Donovan related the story a week later at another performance, which

was recorded for his “In Concert” album. During the Bowl’s history, only a handful of concerts have

been postponed by rain.
