'they blew'em off the stage'

way back when I went to see a triple bill of Seals and Crofts, some guy named Springsteen and the headliner, Anne Murray. When the whole crowd left after Springsteen's performance I heard a little girl ask "where's everybody going Mommy, the shows not over". she was right.

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.

Jim S.

Blues Traveler opening for the Allman Bros. at the Mann in philly

This was long ago, when Bon Scott was alive, ACDC opened for Ted Nugent at an outdoor concert in Rockford, IL, and they just burned the place down. Just a great bit of showmanship with a killing beat that no one could have surpassed. And they made sure of it. Show over.

Lesson learned: Always back pride with talent.

Van Halen touring for their first album and they opened for Black Sabbath at Madison Square Garden in 1978
