Saw Beth Hart a few yrs ago at an outdoor concert in front of The Pretenders. The Pretenders weren't bad but Beth Hart was fantastic!

Ncarv, I agree with you, of the two of us my wife was the one who preferred the Commander. Also, I think CC was a local favorite in Ann Arbor at the time, might have had something to do with it.

The Duke's post brings back fond memories of those old Filmore East concerts. Really, they had great acts, and not just one headliner either.

Better? Memorable might be a better word for the 3 that come to mind.

Peter Frampton opening for ZZ Top. Same year as the live album (I think) but in Freedom Hall, Louisville, KY.

Tania Tucker opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Also in Louisville. She was also first on the bill for Frampton/ZZ Top.

INXS opening for Men at Work. Timberwolf in Cincinnati the year Shabooh Shoobah came out.
