So, I was there nice and early for MSG I, I was under the impression, as he stated, he was only given 30 minutes ... he didn't choose to leave,

Yeah, it was pretty clear that they were trying to free up extra time for PJ. It worked well on night 1 - PJ hit the stage shortly after everything was set. They wasted some time on night 2, but my guess is the band was too busy having fun backstage.

I'm not sure I would have done what Leo did though. He blasted through his mini-sets and never really connected with the audience. I would have just played normally for as long as I was given.

BTW, KOL kicked ass in Tampa. No comparison for me.

This is so true.
