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.

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

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.
