Oakland — Collesium, 1978-04-05

I remember this show because I was so angry at myself. The friend I was with lit up a joint and I smoked some before the show started in our seat. The pot altered my hearing so that I could not hear the bass or deep sounds during the show. I still loved the show. I was on the left of the Stage about 20 rows up. An elderly woman behind me told the two boys she had brought with her to the show to go down real quick and get a good look at him (Bowie). The boys looked to be about 11 or 12 years old. Sitting to the right side of me about 8 rows over and two rows down, was a guy with a black perfectly cut Ziggy haircut. The Hair was spot on but with out his eybrows he looked like Debbie Reynolds. I was high on the pot and every time I looked over at him I laughed. I think he noticed. Feel a bit bad about that. When Bowie had the White Pants on for the second half of the show I remember that when the bright tube ligths would come on you could see his skinny legs thru his pants.
