Before They Were Famous

What artists did you see on the way up, before superstardom?
Anyone lucky enough to see the Beatles in Germany? If so, the thread should stop there. Until then, I have two. Aerosmith played at my high school Junior Prom, Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y., and I was lucky enough to see John Belushi do Joe Cocker in "Lemmings" at the Village Gate in N.Y.C. around 1970, just before SNL.

This may not qualify either but I saw ZZ Top in the very early 70's in a small gym at Alfred university in NY state.They didnt have a stage,just played on the floor with the crown only 3-4 feet away.I remember I was so close I got sweat splashed on me from one of the members.I hadnt heard of them at the time.I remember they were loud and great with the crowd.
