'they blew'em off the stage'


what concerts have you attended, where the warm up act blew the headliners away.....my examples...brownville station upstaging zz top to the point where people where chanting 'brownsville station!' during the littl ol' band from texas' set.....another..t.rex upstaging lynyrd skynyrd(yes there really was such a show), and the grass roots upstaging cream.

Ejvl752 you saw Steeleye Span? They are quite accomplished. TAS raved about their stuff for years as terrific music and quality recordings and I have to agree. Commoners Crown is a good one to start with if anyone has an interest.

sorry to get off topic...
Martkyl,

I was at that show in Detroit Dec 1975 (I still have the ticket stub - $6.50) and Toots & The Maytalls had bottles thrown at them! Nobody knew who they were and Reggea and the Who do not mix IMO. FWIW I always thought the Who that evening was the best rock concert I had ever seem and I have seen them 3 times since.
Marty,

My mistake, when I saw them Keith Moon played the drums. You must have seen them later as Keith Moon died in 1978

sorry..
