| Summary: | The first was last month's Alice In Chains concert. Like that show, Faith No More was a Perryscope production that sold out in advance before the club resumed its battle with Gary Lauk, legal representative for Patrick Fraser. This is now an old story: Fraser gets hurt in brawl with club bouncers at a 1989 Ramones concert, sues club, wins an unprecedented $650,000.00 settlement. Meanwhile, 86 Street goes into receivership, re-structures business and changes ownership in an attempt to save itself. Fraser doesn't see a penny. Then things start to get complicated. Most clubs that rely on bar sales for their livelihood would close but 86 Street has discovered that many touring bands prefer to play a 1,000 capacity room which is unlicensed. Consequently, talent booker Bob Burrows says that, even though 86 Street will be a licensed venue again soon, he has six all-ages concerts lined up. |
