(186,612 posts)He was apparently staying at the same hotel. Just waved and smiled and he did the same back. Didnt want to bother him as he was in a bit of struggle getting into his car.
From a story I saw once, The Dead just kept seeing this really tall guy near the stage in the crowd. At first they thought it was a guy on someones shoulders but it kept happening at shows. Someone finally realized Hey thats Bill Walton. Had him
on stage and after the show. They became lifelong friends.
