Talk:Mike Oldfield Five Miles Out World Tour 1982/@comment-39643491-20190530174347

I was approached by a British chap with funny colored hair. He asked me if I was a musician and did I have a cigaret I could spare.

I said yes.

He told me he was playing in a rock band at the Warfield Theatre with The Mike Oldfield "band"  and would I like to go to the show for free.

I complied.

Why not. I had just moved to San Francisco and had nothing better to do than hang backstage with world renowned musicians.

My girlfriend and I showed up at the will-call for what turned out to be backstage passes!

We ended up spending the show and after-party with all of them. This included backstage drinks and great seats for the show and then, a quick limo ride back to the hotel for some record company coke and spliffs (never encountered people mixing tobacco with grass) and then, we all bundled back into cars to go to a nightclub that was kept open all night to our entertainment. Someone brought some acoustic instruments and casio's and I basically tried to do whatever I imagined Mick Taylor did when he played with the Tubular Bells guy. Unfortunately, Billy Prestons wig was nowhere to be seen.

Fun night.
