Eric Clapton concert- July 18, 1974.

We had gone to this concert at the Tempe Diablo Stadium sitting on the grass in front of the stage maybe 50 feet back. The marijuana smoke was drifting in the air along with "Layla" and "Smile". And we were all having fun listening to the music and getting a little high from the second hand smoke. Eric Clapton Concert Setlist at Feyline Field, Tempe on July 18, 1974 | setlist.fm

This spirit continued even after I had gone bed out on the lanai at my grandmother Trueblood's home in Apache Junction, Arizona. I would just about get to sleep when weird noise started surrounding me from different sides. What the hell was out there in the night? I assumed I was safe from whatever might be lurking out there until I started seeing odd shadows and the like. I was about to have a real fit from this racket and then I hear a human snickering. Monsters usually do not giggle out in the night when trying to scare unsuspecting people trying to sleep off the second hand MJ smoke and dream of Clapton's female singers.

That was it though. My double cousin Tom and my older brother Robert revealed themselves while having one huge set of laughs. They were the sounds and shadows in the night.
