HW: the Oakland laugh explained

[Rudich, Robert A]

[from Bernhard]
>Remeber this evening very good because during the gig a German Shepherd
came
>on stage and walked for about 5 minutes during YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT
>across the stage. He seemed to enjoy the music.(maybe HAWKWIND tunes are
>pleasant for dog-ears??)

>I was standing very close to the stage and could see very good the
perplexed
>faces from DAVE, RICHARD, ALAN and the DANCER

>But after the dog went off from the stage they all laughed (the audience
>too!) and continued a very good gig but unfortunately without encore (like
>on the other Holland gigs)

This must be where the phantom laugh in California Brainstorm came from.
 That way they didn't have to pay anybody for the rights.

>Someone interested in the tape ??

Need you ask?  Good story though.
