FURTHER INFO about this performance:
Originally, this was to be a Peter Holsapple solo show in aid of "Concert For A Cure" to benefit the Leukemia Society of America. But with help from his friends (Peter Buck, Robyn Hitchcock, Morris Windsor & Andy Metcalfe), it turned into a "Worst Case Scenario" performance (one of the pseudonymous names used by Peter Buck, Robyn Hitchcock & various musical friends). At the time, Peter H. was a touring member of R.E.M. and Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians were a support act for R.E.M.
A similar show took place a few days later in Minneapolis (compare & contrast the setlists):
8 March 1989 - Seventh Street Entry, Minneapolis, MN
The Cars She Used To Drive / Wax Doll / Freeze / Falling Leaves / Swirling / Calvary Cross / Birdshead / Flesh Number One (Beatle Dennis) / More Than This / The Lizard / Queen Of Eyes / Revolution / I Wanna Destroy You / Twist And Shout / The W.S. Walcott Medicine Show / Do Right Woman, Do Right Man / Eight Miles High / Rain
(as with the Chicago show, this was preceded by a solo set by Peter Holsapple)

  1. PH #4 is "Bald Headed Baby" off Paris Avenue...

    1. Indeed. I listed the song's old name before Peter changed up some of the lyrics and re-titled it.

      Will make that correction forthwith.
