'they blew'em off the stage'

Styx opened for Joe Cocker in Birmingham, AL back in the '70's. The audience either booed Cocker or simply left.
Curt Stigers at the Montreux Jazz Festival as an opening act for Diana Krall. Curt gave a much better show than Diana, in fact listening to the CD and Diana live made no differences :-(
This one is easy. Nazareth opened for deep Purple and they were in top form. Deep Purple was just onstage, nothing more.
Enjoyed Jimmy Vaughn & Band much more than Clapton from his From the Cradle tour in St.Louis !
Metallica-Monsters of Rock-Pontiac Silverdome-June 18,1988.
Van Halen and Dokken were in poor form. Opening act Kingdom Come and Scorpions were solid at best.
