I was working at Happy Joe's when McCartney came around. His caterer showed up at the store one morning and wanted us to provide lunch for the entire crew that day. We immediately turned on the rest of the ovens and called the owner, Hank - "Uh, Hank, I think you better get in here." We then figured out a menu on the fly using no meat or animal products. It was a hell of a day but great for Hank because he was still trying to recover from the financial hit of the first flood less than a month before.I missed that Floyd show because I was taking calc 2 (math 166) over the summer and had a final the next day. Remember studying outside our apartment over on west street and could hear comfortably numb from there.
My only stadium concert there was McCartney. Somehow I skipped the Stones and then U2 because I had a stupid gf back home. What an idiot I was.
That day may have been the difference in keeping his business above water.
I had just started working at the ISC as well so the days I wasn't at Happy Joe's I spent unloading trucks at the stadium. A full day of loading/unloading one 53' trailer after another in the summer heat really takes it out of you.
