At a multi-performer benefit for Bill Bradley's first run for office, Paul Simon was supposed to open and close the show, with several acrs in between his two sets. Patti Smith was next to last on the schedule and was so overwhelming that Simon didn't even try. He skipped the last set entirely and just intoduced " Biiill Braaaadley" in his best MC voice.

As a funny aside, Bradley was apparently unready for the early introduction and a few akward moments passed after Simon's dramatic intro. As the stage full of performers looked around in confusion for the real "headliner", Patti Smith pipes up

"So where the fuck is the guy?"

It was priceless.

Saw the Foo Fighters absolutely destroy The Red Hot Chili Peppers in Phoenix a few years back. Ever since I have not been a Chili Peppers fan at all. Waited months for the show and then was greatly disappointed except for the Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl rocked!
I remember Guns N Roses blowing AeroSmith right out of the arena during thier opening stint in support of "Appetite For Destruction"..........it was sad!
