'they blew'em off the stage'

what concerts have you attended, where the warm up act blew the headliners away.....my examples...brownville station upstaging zz top to the point where people where chanting 'brownsville station!' during the littl ol' band from texas' set.....another..t.rex upstaging lynyrd skynyrd(yes there really was such a show), and the grass roots upstaging cream.

The Replacements opening for Elvis Costello at MSG. I was, and still am a Costello fan but the Replacements totally kicked ass ending the show with each band member swapping instruments and bringing the house down. Early 80's?

I saw New York Dolls and Aerosmith in October 1973; both of them smoked the opening act, Mott the Hoople.

I enjoy Mick Ralphs and Ian Hunter but Mott is a very overrated band in the annals of rock and roll history.

You're just saying that because you ain't a young dude anymore Bill. :)

Ejvl752 you saw Steeleye Span? They are quite accomplished. TAS raved about their stuff for years as terrific music and quality recordings and I have to agree. Commoners Crown is a good one to start with if anyone has an interest.

sorry to get off topic...

once saw stevie ray vaughn open for the moody blues during their long distance voyager tour. while srv did not blow away the moody's (they were both performed extremely good sets). I bring this up only because the pairing was odd.
