Geetarz Comments: Can someone explain the title?

Well, ask and ye shall receive - in response to my query, this from a regular contributor to the site: 

"Sointely...

Apparently Big Black Loading Zone was an opening act for Cream during their Winterland
dates of Feb 29-March 2 - which might make one question how accurate the recording
information on the BBLZ CD really is, n'est pas?

How do I know this?  Next to the women's restroom at the Rock Hall of Fame in Cleveland
is a poster for that week of performances, and right there in big ol' letters, "Cream -
Big Black Loading Zone", Feb 29-March 2

What was I doing outside the women's restroom?  None of your business..." - Anon












Visitor Comments: "Hi, this may be ancient news by now but as a frequent flyer at the Fillmore and Winterland venues, I know that the Loading Zone was a local Bay
Area rock/r&b group while Big Black was a jazz influenced group, completely separate from Loading Zone.  Not only was I there for the concerts, but saw Loading Zone several times at
other gigs. " - Ron
