From: Roy Harkow <roy@WAIKATO.SCRC.Symbolics.COM> As you'll see from the songlist, the material was pretty standard stuff. It was exciting being really close, with many friends in the first 8 rows. First time I was close enough to see how important Phil really is to the group. His jams with Jerry were wonderful. Interest was enhanced by the presence of (at least) 3 Boston Celtics members onstage: Bill Walton, Larry Bird, and Kevin McHale. Walton was obviously getting into it and dancing around. Bird and McHale seemed to be standing rigid whenever I looked at them. However, others said they saw McHale dancing at times, and Bird smiling and singing along on Sugar Magnolia. Somehow, I just don't see Bill converting the NBA!
