He had his own personal bodyguard that accompanied him in & out of the venue. The gig ran about 90 minutes. I didn't get out of there until late that night. Seriously sore the next day. Good times. Oh yeah, the venue was packed & there was no opener.
I worked this gig in the capacity of a roadie. I was part of the local crew. The venue was some nightclub in WEM; not Red's. Perhaps 'The Joint'? Anyways, I got down there around 10-11AM to load-in. Billy's crew & the guys from All-Star (Show Industries) were real pro. There was a lull as the band (minus Billy) did their soundcheck. Billy was nowhere to be seen 'till showtime. He made his entrance at 10PM sharp, started off with 'Dancing With Myself'. They played all the hits, including an acoustic version of 'White Wedding'.
