The only hope for staying on schedule is that someone takes charge.
Sometimes it's the venue person, sometimes it's the band who sets up the
show.  I have found that the worst case scenarios occur when no one assumes
that responsibility.  I remember a show at the cave when the first band had
played for over an hour and actually played a song from the early part of
their set AGAIN because some new people had come in since they had started.
Being in a later band but no the band who set the show up, all I could do
was go to the bartender and say WTF?  Who's in charge here?  The answer was,
who knows?  I wish Grady had been there for THAT!
