Best surprise I ever got was 1984 Roy Buchanan warmed up for Robin Trower at the old Capital Theater in Passaic New Jersey.

Insane how good Roy was! He truly blew Robin Trower away!
Philojet, sorry for the late reply, just saw this thread again after a long time. Again I wasn't there, but from what I understand the Monkees teeny bopper fans nearly booed Hendrix off the stage.
Audiofeil, couldn't agree more re: Mott The Hoople, even their best songs were penned by others.
In the late 80's/early 90's, Fishbone played with tons of bands and blew them ALL off the stage. Incredible musicianship and ridiculous energy.
I was at a Chicago Symphony concert recently where the first piece, Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings, completely upstaged the main event, Shostakovich's 5th Symphony.
last time i remember that headliners was blown was in "the big four" tour few years ago in chech republic...slayers slayed synthetic metallica act in pieces...
