Neko Case at Preservation Hall a few years ago. Her AND her band played 20+ songs then joined the house band for a number.

Pearl Jam at Tips in 92. They booked the date before TEN came out and then exploded .... insane scene. Also saw Green Day, Violent Femmes, Rage, Bad Brains and PJ Harvey there in those years before the HOB opened.

I was at this show at tips as well. Had my BB t-shirt ripped right off my back while I was in the pit and never noticed until there was a break in the music. Before the show started HR was trying to come in at the side door and the security guys weren't letting him in. somebody on tips staff finally got over there to explain that's the lead singer of the band your holding at the door
