Interesting/unusual concert pairings.


The Who as openers for Herman’s Hermits. Pretty much a failure. John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra opening for Zappa and the Mothers.  Worked so well I attended in Milwaukee and Boston. McLaughlin and Zappa call and response noodling was spectacular.  Roger Daltry did not join Peter Noone for a duet of, “Mrs. Brown you’ve got a lovely daughter “

Jimi Hendrix opening for the Monkeys? Those 12 year old girls were confused...
Squeeze opening for Elvis Costello was a great pairing. Dion opening for Graham Parker was a very strange one. The poor guy had a terrible case of stage fright that evening and could barely perform.
