'they blew'em off the stage'

I have two.The first one I saw. August 16 1977 Montreal Forum.
J Geils Band opening for Peter Frampton
The second was one I didn't see but read about,
Miles Davis opening for Steve Millar Band, around 1970. As I recall,Miles was to open for Miller on a few consecutive nights. By the second night he showed up"late"he wasn't going to open for that mother%@#% he was quoted saying!

Montejay -- I also witnesses Geils open for Frampton in '77 (in Miami), and yes, they blew Frampton away.

Rnm4. I remember it was at a time when Frampton was at his peak fame wise and was a huge live act. Geils takes the stage whipping the crowd to a frenzy with the energy they brought. By the time Frampton appeared there was no way he was at the right concert venue for his show. I remember feeling sorry for him but Geils was amazing!

Pink Floyd (opened for Savoy Brown) at the Electric Factory in Phila - Sat 9/26/70

An unknown band, ELP (touring in support of their first album) opened for Procol Harum at the Phila Spectrum Sun 4/25/71 - Keith playing the keys with knives, standing on the organ rocking the bejesus outta it, throwing knives at the speaker columns etc etc. Procol was sheepish, they knew they had a tough act to follow.

When I was in high school in the 1970's I saw Bruce Springsteen open for Chicago at the Spectrum in Philly. I wouldn't say that Springsteen blew Chicago off the stage... In fact, nobody knew who he was back then and after a few songs people started to get ugly and boo. Not nice!
