They found out they were alotted something like 45 minutes and Grey given twice that much time. As far as solos, Scherrie had Stoned Love, Mary was doing The Way We Were and Cindy's had to be cut. Mary had said that Cindy was upset about this.
I used to have a tape of that show. They sounded good but the audience just wasn't into them. When they finished Stoned Love, Scherrie always said "Stoned Love, what we need just a little bit more of." This usually got a strong round of applause but on this one night there was a prolonged silence for several seconds until the crowd slowly gave them polite applause.
