WAY back, my band opened a show at the Legion in Nowata, OK, for Jerry Lee. It was sponsored by a radio station in Tulsa and we played a lot for their blowouts. The place was packed, maybe a thousand people in a place designed for 500. Jerry Lee got halfway through the first song, stopped the band and proceeded to first break a leg off the stool then beat the piano to pieces with it, all the time cussing it for being out of tune.
The crowd boo-ed him as he left the stage, giving them the finger. They called us back up and we did three more hours and nobody left or demanded their money back. Heck, where else were they going to go in Nowata Oklahoma on a Saturday night? By the time we finished I'm sure Jerry was half way to Mississippi! No, we didn't get his money, but they did pay us quite a bit extra for saving the show!
