After about 5 minutes, a stage hand came out and escorted her off the stage.

Another 10 minutes or so, they announced that the show was over and we could get our money back when we exited.

In the end, it worked out pretty well as I didn't have to sit through 2 hours of Rickie Lee Jones!
I saw her twice--once in the Bottom Line in NYC in '82, and again at the Santa Barbara Bowl in '90, and both times she was awesome. I guess she wasn't high at the shows I went to.
