This was one. Robert Cray opening for Eric Clapton was another.

One of my college girlfriends is the daughter of one of those guys. I never cared much for their music. | |||

Van Halen opening for Aerosmith, the latter was just awful. I'm guessing at the height of their drug phase. The Boomtown Rats played before both and I remember them being pretty good. The outdoor audience pelted the band with a barrage of grass clumps and garbage.

Charlie Daniels opened for Joe Walsh (post James Gang). Daniels was great and got everyone all fired up. We were all on our feet, jumping up and down, screaming for an encore. I guess it's bad form and the opener isn't supposed to do an encore, but he did. Walsh came out and you could tell he was PISSED. He opened with some slow, whiny, dirge-like song. Brought the crowd crashing back to earth and he never got us back. Another memorable one was Fabulous Thunderbirds->Susan Tedeschi(before marrying Derek)->BB King Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

1979 triple bill Atlanta Fox Theater I saw Johnny Cougar (pre Mellencamp) open the show,next came a young Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, headliners were a band from England called . . . the Kinks.  It was a great show from top to bottom. ****************************************************************************** Never shoot a large caliber man with a small caliber bullet . . . | |||

Nine Inch Nails opening for David Bowie. After NIN was done you could have had.front row seats. Let all Men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows. Benjamin Franklin | |||

In 1972 I saw Jimmy Buffet open for Joan Baez (what a combination). We went just to hear Jimmy. | |||

I have to agree with you SJ. I bought the Totsy CD and love it! Can't wait for them to make another. | |||

46and2, I was at that same concert. GnR took forever to get on stage and Axel Rose sounded horrible. The opening acts weren't too bad though. At least I think so, that was a really long time ago. No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||

Watched Run DMC open for ZZ Top - Aloha Stadium, circa 1987 One crowds for Run DMC followed by a near total and complete crowd swap for ZZ Top. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Big fan of Ben Folds. Friend & I bought tickets to John Mayer with Ben Folds as the opener/first main show (pre-opener before him). Left after the first Mayer song. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Goodman is the real deal. The Fabulous Thunderbirds and ZZ Top opened for the Rolling Stones in '83 or '84. Either would have been a good show all on their own. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
