I was in the audience that day in 1970 and appreciate the "security" the Blues provided us. If my memory is correct, there was a distant explosion, which drew some appropriate "quip" from Bob Hope, and laughter to all.

I was at Pleiku at the time . . . Bob had given us a pass because in a previous year he and his entourage had been "tapped" pretty hard. He decided then that Pleiku was a "hard pass" . . . :) Obviously they should have had your crew tag along as mobile security . . . then we might have been able to see him as well.
