Oh, we're there, man.

We're there.

So they flew us in.

We're supposed to go on at eight on a Saturday night, which is the marquee hour.

And we flew from our little hotel on the west end of the island, and we flew over, first time in a helicopter.

And we looked down, we see this sea of what I thought were ants all over the place.

I said, that's the crowd.

And then right there, about the size of a postage stamp, was the stage.

So anyway, we get there, and it's about five o'clock.

We're supposed to go on at eight.

Bit nervous, have a little puff, little sip of something.

The hours go by and by.

Everyone's running over time till like 10 o'clock at night.

Our manager comes in and says, you're not going on tonight.

No, everyone's running over.

By the way, on Saturday night, Sly and the Family Stone took the stage at four o'clock in the morning.

So he said, you're going to go on tomorrow, Sunday, one o'clock.

Best thing he ever did for us.

We flew home, back to the hotel.

But when we came out on Sunday morning, got to the site at noon, we went on one o'clock.
