  • Yea, this is me in the costume, not Phil. I was asked by an entertainment company in NJ to do this for John Scher, Metropolitan Productions. I had a friend drive me out to Nassau Coliseum on the back of an old motorcycle from NJ with the dinosaur costume in a black glad bag. I complained when I took the dinosaur costume out of the bag because I thought “Barney” was Fred Flintstone’s side kick, not a dinosaur.

  • Anyway, I had strict instructions not to go on stage because the dinosaur costume was not an officially licensed product. I was only supposed to entertain Phil’s kids backstage. When Phil asked me to go on stage in his place I immediately said yes. I pretended I was adjusting the bass stack during the performance, but it was Bobby’s stuff. I was able to meet the band and crew. I discarded all my rock and roll memorabilia when I later received a scholarship for Bible College. I’m 42 now.

  • yeah... phil had it set up for his kids.... on another note how many people were freaking the fuck out because they thought they were hallucinating this?

  • In Phil's book he said that he was playing behind the stack and Jerry did not know where the sound was coming from. Jerry was very surprised according to Phil's book. 1993 was the start of Jerry starting to look bad and aging rapidly. He also just keeps his head down looking at his guitar most of the time and doesn't have the usual enthusiasm for Iko Iko.

  • @TheClassicMusicMan I only had a thumb to work with......

  • @FloodlightStudio Why were you Playing Slap Bass" on It? Phil would never Play Slap, Its how i knew it wasnt him

  • @TheClassicMusicMan -All white bass with wireless connection....
