ooh! kudos on Flaming Lips!   I saw them on The Soft Bulletin tour at the Maritime Hall in SF.   No more shows there, I just realized... why?

Can't say for certain, but everything I heard about the guy who had the exclusive contract to book shows at the Maritime reinforced the theory that he was a major schmuck. He tried to get over on everyone. If I remember correctly, the Longshoremen's Union (which owns the Maritime Hall building) refused to renew the contract when it was up and decided they didn't really want to be in the concert business after all. Too bad, it was a nice room. I saw Merle Haggard there, as well as P-Funk and a few others I'm forgetting right now.
