Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist...but every club owner who has EVER 
dealt with Great White knows full well that they will be dragged into the 
soon-to-be-ensuing (pun intended) legal mess over who did and didn't give 
permission for the pyrotechnics.   So I would expect every single club to 
say they explicitly gave no permission to Great White or any band to have 
such stunts.   That is, regardless of whether there was a official or 
unofficial agreement or not.

The contract is definitely more damning...but hey, the Stone Pony *is* in 
New Jersey, after all.  Who knows just how genuine that contract 
is?  :-)   More importantly, how genuine will it be after the lawyers are 
done arguing over in court?
