Uh, which one were they? As I recall, there were 3(?) openers that night,
and each and every one of them sucked like a black hole. I stayed in the
bar until the last one finished (chatting with Harvey, Alan, & Richard),
then claimed my spot right up front and dead center. Ahh Bridget.....


The support at the Stone on the previous tour also blew dead goats. I
remember they were trying really hard to be Cream, and they were so bad
that when they were at the bar during Hawkwind's setup, everyone left
a clear space around them.....
