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.

Boston backing Aerosmith in '76. Boston was as tight as a Quad diaphram, then Aerosmith came out and were as 'incoherent' as a turntable being spun by hand. Of course the effects of intoxicating substanced will do that - a common affliction at the time.
