Also from the NYT, a review of a radio-sponsored potpourri concert in NYC, described as “an unstructured jumble of a night”:

On this patience-testing night full of sound difficulties, artist no-shows (Lil Mama, Shawty Lo) and some unreasonably long gaps between acts, the Tallahassee, Fla., rapper-turned-singer T-Pain was a welcome relief…

I realize all sorts of artists put on disorganized shows, but in my experience hip-hop and r&b shows are worse than most. The thrust of the piece was that the show was so delayed that T-Pain, the headliner, had to do quick, abbreviated versions of his songs because the show had to end at a certain hour:

Given the abbreviated nature of his set, T-Pain quickly shifted from playing full songs, to just verses, to having his D.J. play the first few notes of a song before cutting it off.

Sounds like a great night!
