so if this is gonna turn into a "how I met the band" thread....
Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies Tour. 1974
My agency sent me out to a hangar at MIA to guard a private plane (insurance requirement). I was kinda bummed out 'cause I had to work the night before instead of going to the concert.
I get to the hangar and there's a white DC10 with a red dollar sign painted on the tail. I didn't think anything about it at the time.
After hanging out there for a while all by myself, black limos start pulling up and a bunch of midddle-aged Hollywood types start piling out. Then the circus acts; There's a very tall spaced-out girl carrying a very large boa constrictor. There's a bunch of "long-hairs". There's a midget (seems like there's always a midget!). There's a bunch of "muscle guys". Then there's the band, Alice and Neal and Glen and a bunch of other guys.
The plane hadn't been prepped for boarding so they all hung around for about an hour, waiting. I got to play poker with some of them and before they left they gave me a whole bunch of tour junk (posters, and pins and stickers and pillows and concert magazines and a record album). They kept calling me Wyatt Earp 'cause I was uniformed and armed that day...
