"What people have heard about that tour is all pretty much true. Everyone was indulging in their own thing, sometimes with destructive results but it's all part of the private way you deal with such a bizarre and unreal world. Halfway through, an on-the-road psychiatrist was drafted in to provide some kind of support for those people who wanted it - ironically I think everybody went to see him at one stage apart from Dave. Aside from the well documented stories there were also some other incidents like bad flights and fights which caused tensions. For example, Martin and I were on a flight from Dallas to the Caribbean when after 20 minutes or so, there was a loud bang and I think all the oxygen masks came down. It was some kind of pressurisation problem. There was a fair amount of panic and the air-hostesses tearfully embracing one another didn't exactly inspire confidence... "...The pilot had to turn around and we sat through a hair-raising 20 minutes as the plane tried to make it back to Dallas. Later on, we were reliably informed that had we been at our proper cruising altitude, this would have been a major incident. We ended up getting blind drunk in the airport, eventually hiring a private plane at great expense and woke up in the sunshine of the West Indies with a headache."
