Wow. WOW. wow...

I thought we lived in a world where this sort of thing could never happen - laws of physics and all that - and now I see that I am completely wrong.

And all at a club called the Outhouse.

I seem to remember a lot of bills at Lounge Ax that consisted of whatever bands happened to be coming through town at that moment. I generally like that, but seeing Come try to get up and play after Caroliner Rainbow was odd. I don't envy anyone having to play after Caroliner.

I would pay to see all 4 shows.

TOTAL DESTRUCTION TO YOUR PIE

Poster Children have also told stories of opening for Public Enemy.

Ah, the 90s...

I know, it's an ancient joke, but I solemnly swear: it was true.

Evans and Wyman
Clinton and the Conqueror
Hicks and Laimbeer

I may have misunderstood the question.

Poster Children (on the bill, but they couldn't make it)
Mojo Nixon
RUN DMC

When I was going to school in Albany there were a lot of good touring bands who got stuck with local bands as openers.

I seem to remember Hand Held Moon (nice people, but wishy washy pop crap musically) opening for Railroad Jerk, and everyone leaving after the local band, leaving me and I think one other person to enjoy the rest of the show, and the resultant temper flare-up during the show.
