Ollin Arageed into Fire. With the Sphinx as the backdrop. Bill Walton was sitting on the side of the stage.

the Dead.

Gloriously out of tune.

On night one. Not exactly, but he stuck out like a sore thumb in my line of sight. I love that he surely could’ve asked for backstage/VIP passes or a private box, but he wanted to be down in the pit with us hippies.


how was the doobage? *

Been a long, long time since I’ve indulged in that. My neighbors at the show smoked plenty for me.


He's a good dude.

88 game winning streak at Notre Dame on January 19, 1974. He wore a back brace during that game after breaking two bones in his spine after being undercut while playing basketball the week before. "But, he made 12 of his first 13 shots and the Bruins led Notre Dame by 17 points at halftime. UCLA was leading 70–59 with 3½ minutes remaining. However, they were outscored 12–0, missing six consecutive shots with four turnovers. As was his belief, Wooden did not call time-outs late in games and stuck with the strategy. The Irish made six shots in a row, winning on Dwight Clay's shot with 29 seconds left, as Notre Dame prevailed 71–70. Walton, who missed a 12-foot shot off an inbounds pass to win the game as time expired, finished with 24 points and nine rebounds." (Wikipedia)


I believe that game was his first loss, ever(?)

I believe he never lost a game he started in high school, or in freshman bbal at UCLA, and or his sophomore, junior or senior years until January 19, 1974.


Amazing. Here's some more info on his HS & college records:

"A story published in The Terre Haute Tribune on March 24, 1972 noted that Walton hadn't lost a game since he was a sophomore in high school in 1967.

UCLA was 86-4 during Bill Walton's three years of college with the center starting his college career 73-0. Walton's only four losses came in his senior year (Notre Dame, Oregon State, Oregon and then NC State in the NCAA tournament)."
